Star Fox (series): Difference between revisions

* '''''[[Star Fox Adventures]]''''', also known as ''Dinosaur Planet'', is generally the black sheep of the series. This isn't so much because it was poorly regarded by critics or fans (in fact, the game got fairly good reviews - better than both ''Assault'' and ''Command'' - and it's consistently cited as one of the best-looking games on Gamecube) but due to not originally being a ''Star Fox'' game at all. Instead, its origins lie in [[Dolled-Up Installment|an unrelated N64 adventure game moved into the franchise]] (and to the Gamecube) by Nintendo's urging during development. The game did introduce Fox's on-again-off-again love interest, Krystal, who was integrated into the main series. Incidentally, this game was the last Rare-developed game for a Nintendo console before they were bought out by Microsoft.

* Nintendo pawned ''Star Fox'' off to a third party once again in 2005, with the Namco-developed '''''[[Star Fox Assault]]'''''. While the return to the traditional shooter gameplay was well-received, the game suffered from too many missions on foot as well as a general lack of gameplay depth. In spite of that, the multiplayer is quite amazing, even for Star Fox standards. It also suffered from nicking its plot more or less wholesale from ''Silpheed: The Lost Planet'', but it finally gave characterization to non-Star Fox characters. It also introduced Star Wolf's newcomer, Panther Caroso. To date, ''Assault'' is Star Fox's worst-reviewed game.
