Jester here, this is my first, hopefully not last, review of a game. before i get started reviewing Star Fox on the SNES, you should know that this game and I don’t have the kindest history. I played this game a kid and 15 years later, this game still gets the best of me. So without further delay, lets begin. Right off the bat, i decide to take level 2, because level 1 has brought horrid traumatizing memories to life, so a change of pace would help, right?Well, I failed. Level 1 here i come After many years of the graphical advancements of Star Fox 64, this game makes my eyes hurt. But graphics aren’t important to a classic like this. This game is possibly the hardest SNES game ive played since Super Empire Strikes Back. Getting through the first stage is a challenge by itself, but each level gets progressively harder. No surprise that i make it to the last level with one life left and die at the boss.
This game is not only incredibly entertaining, but incredibly hard, even on the easiest level. The levels are crudely constructed and there’s a seemingly endless wave of potential death throughout it all. All the shiny death and outrageous obstacles makes piloting skills key, not just being able to spam the fire button. Though graphics and sound are left to be desired, the gameplay and Falco’s comical garble make this game worth playing if your looking for some nostalgia and a really good challenge.
