Difference between revisions of "Star Fox series"

In ''Star Fox Adventures'', the series took a very different turn in gameplay and style. Originally meant to be an entirely different game entitled ''[[Dinosaur Planet]]'', the series was later branded with the ''Star Fox'' logo and given the ''Star Fox'' treatment of flying missions and the series' trademark characters. However, instead of a basic rail shooter that was common with its predecessors, ''Adventures'' was much more of an action-adventure game, similar in genre to the legendary [[Wikipedia:Legend of Zelda|Legend of Zelda]] series. The game received generally positive reviews, regarless of its radical departure from its predecessors.  

A year after the crisis at Sauria, a new threat haunts the Lylat and brings up images of past enemies: Andross. His nephew [[Andrew Oikonny]] has taken over [[Venomian Army|his uncle's army]] and has begun to attack Corneria. To add to the level of threat, a new alien force has come to the Lylat: the [[Aparoid]]s. Bent on absorbing the life in the system, the alien invasion brings about devestation to the citizens of these planets, and the Star Fox team is forced to protect them, as long as they can stay alive themselves.

 

''Star Fox: Assault'' was developed by [[Namco]] for the [[GameCube]], the second title for the platform. The game emphasis returned to its roots with its trademark ship-based shooting. However, new features were added, such as the addition of on-foot missions. ''Assault'' was released to mixed reviews, with the main complaints being control problems, the short length of the main game, and the amount of on-foot missions.
