Star Fox Is A New Beginning That Undermines Itself - Campaign Review

Star Fox 64 has never looked better, but bare-bones updates make this hard to recommend for all but the most dedicated Arwing aces.

The short version

• There's a reason Nintendo keeps remaking Star Fox 64.
• The N64 iteration of the rail shooter--at the time, the second Star Fox release--remains the apex of the franchise: a genuinely fantastic game that still holds up and stands the test of time.
• Subsequent sequels that have attempted to recapture the magic have floundered by comparison.

What to watch for

This latest iteration, simply titled "Star Fox" for what I can only assume is meant to be a soft reboot, plays just as great as you remember and looks even better.

Why it matters

But if you've already played Star Fox 64 in any iteration, it will be hard to shake the feeling of deja vu.
