Apr 21, 2016  (de jure) 'Star Fox Zero' is the seventh instalment in the Star Fox series and the first since the release of 'Star Fox Command' in 2006. Shigeru Miyamoto has said that this title borrowed ideas and assets from the unreleased Wii games development cycle, which is.

Star Fox is a video game series published by Nintendo. The original game was a forward-scrolling 3D Sci-Fi rail shooter. Later sequels added more directional freedom as the series progressed. The game concept was inspired by a shrine to a fox god who could fly, and which Shigeru Miyamoto visited regularly.

The shrine was accessible through a series of arches, thus inspiring the gameplay.

I picked StarFox Zero back up and have been playing a lot of it lately, and I gained a new appreciation for the controls after going back to StarFox 64 3D this weekend. I found myself trying to move the 3DS around to aim at the enemies around me and it was frustrating to not be able to aim so freely. Going back after playing so much Zero really showed me how much more enhanced the gameplay is by being able to fly in one direction and shoot at another.Anyone feel something similar after going back to older games?.

Being able to shoot in one direction while moving in another is great. Splitting your attention between two screens that are not next to each other is not. And let's not forget the alternate vehicles. The gyrocopter is awful and controls like ass, and becomes completely obsolete after you get the ability to hack with the walker. Speaking of which the walker also controls terribly and handles like a tank. Speaking of the tank, the landmaster is also a giant piece of shit to control. If the game played with the wiimote and nunchuck it would have been 100% better.

I liked the new vehicles and transformations. Although some of the control and camera options are very questionable. Like why strafing with the walker can only be done while in target mode and why the L-Stick doesn't strafe without it. Instead it makes you walk and turn even though you can hold straight and turn with R-Stick.Gyrowing would have been fine if the camera would face where I'm aiming instead of using a button to look down (what if I want to look up?).I don't understand the complaint about the landmaster though.

This game has the best controlling landmaster in the whole series. 64's was nothing but a grounded, slow moving arwing. Assault's was way too slow and clunky even with dual stick controls. Zero's is fast in both the movement and aiming department and even has boosted fire power with the triple rocket launcher.

Too bad there's only 4 landmaster missions (counting the training/challenge missions).

I want to play a game on Wii U that is challenging and has a steep learning curve and Star Fox Zero seems to be the perfect pick. The nostalgia of Star Fox 64 (which I guess I've played thousands of times back them) is a big plus.But one thing worries me: the controls. Every review or comment that I've read mention the controls as a bad, sometimes rendering as completely unusable, other times as something that you can get used to be still not perfect.Every review except one,. I was about to give up buying it until I found this GameXplain review. If what this guy say is true, I'm going to be in love with this game just as he is.

Games that demands you to develop some 'skill' are my favorite.But I'm still a little skeptical, since this is one guy versus, well, all the rest of the internet?Anyone else felt in love with Star Fox Zero controls? Are we really talking about an underrated gem here?. This is sort of a hot-button issue among fans, but I want to offer my perspective.Background: I'm a Star Fox fan for a long time now. I first discovered the series when I received a VHS tape from Toys R Us advertising Star Fox 64 and the Rumble Pak (anyone who is familiar with that tape will forever remember it).

I picked up the game because it looked fun, and I fell in love with it. I've since played every Star Fox game. Star Fox 64 remains my favorite, but all of them have some merit.Star Fox Zero was, to me, a huge disappointment. I finished the game all the way through. My wife and I actually had some fun playing co-op through a lot of the campaign. But those controls just broke the experience. I'm not a motion control hater.

I felt they were fine in Skyward Sword. Sure, I would have preferred traditional controls, but Skyward Sword was fine with what it had. I don't use motion controls for Splatoon because I prefer the roller, but I never had a problem with them in the single player campaign when I did use them in Splatoon.What makes Star Fox different, and indeed, worse, is the aiming. The way it works is that on the TV, you can be pointed clean at an enemy, and your little targeting reticule is right on the enemy ship or structure, but you miss if you don't check the GamePad screen too. I'm also constantly recalibrating the GamePad because you have to physically turn it so frequently.Maybe there are people out there who felt this was a skill to learn.

If they did, and if they enjoyed the game as-is, great. I'm glad they liked it. I played the entirety of the game, did every planet, even redid some of the missions to get some secrets. I felt like it was a frustrating experience every step of the way, and I'm one of the people who went in saying I'd be open to giving the game a chance and not prejudging it.I can conclusively say that Star Fox Zero would be my second favorite game in the series if it just had a traditional controls option.

It's a very good game, the extra few months in development led to a lot of polish, and the dialogue and music are exactly what I, as a fan, wanted from it. As it is, the motion controls just never felt right to me. Star Fox is about arcade action, and that requires a greater degree of precision than the controls allow.tl;dr I was not one who immediately decided the game sucks because of the motion controls. I gave it a legitimate, good faith effort try.

I finished the game. And I honestly don't like it, specifically because of those controls. Which is a shame, because there isn't just a hidden gem there-there's an excellent game that is more difficult and frustrating than it is fun because of a design decision that could have been made optional. Kind of just depends on how much patience you have and you're interest in mastering new skills as part of gameplay. I got used to it right away, and had to master it a little better with each successive boss. To me, it adds another layer of gameplay which actually makes me want to come back and play it more.

My only concern is that the content doesn't square up to a $50 or 60 game, but now that it's relatively cheap I think it's a great deal so long as you have a healthy attitude about new experiences. The controls are not frustrating. They are only 'frustrating' because there are elitists who hate motion control and would rather eat a shoe and spin the N64 joystick than use motion controls.After playing the first stage/planet/Corneria/whatever you pretty much get the gist of it. Also Starfox is and will always be meant to be replayed to find other endings or get better score.I'll say this though, the motion control is unnecessary. I do not feel any different. But to your point, it's not frustrating, the game was very fun.

I did both 'paths' and enjoyed it. It depends on what it is that bothers you.If you think the controls won't really work and that it is a bit gimmicky, then most people will agree that, after getting used to it, it works really well. It does indeed have quite a learning curve, but it works well once you master it.If the controls themselves are what's bothering you (for me, I don't like motion controls. Good as the controls may be, I don't like having to wiggle my controller around all the time. But that's just me), it might be a bit more troublesome enjoying the game. Not too frustrating except during some of the difficulty spikes several of the reviews acknowledge. These spikes are the Star Wolf battles, boss battles and end game boss.

I return to the game occasionally, I managed to make it through Arcade mode once without being destroyed by Andross which felt like an achievement.I don't think I have the time, dedication or inclination to get good high scores or gold on all the courses, and I was disappointed by the lack of on rails missions, but I like the game enough to give it four stars.Like all the best games with idiosyncratic control schemes (Pikmin3, Bayonetta2, W101) there is a demo in the eshop.
