Star Fox Zero

A great Wii U game. While the control scheme is unconventional, it's fitting for a game that goes out of its way to surprise you with additional modes, trophy rewards, hidden locations, and a spin-off with gameplay never before attempted within the series. Which, in a way makes sense.

If you can handle the gyroscope, you’re in for a quality thrill ride through the Lylat System, difficult but rewarding.

It’s a little short and familiar, but forget Adventures, Assault, and Command, this is the Star Fox game that we should have got a long time ago.

There are plenty of nostalgic aspects present in this crisp and beautiful high-definition title, reminiscent of games gone by. At the same time it shakes things up with some drastic changes to the game play that can be too jarring for some to want to put up with, making it a bit of a black sheep to many. For those who take the time to master the play style, however, it is incredibly rewarding and satisfying.

Star Fox Zero suffers from ambition without a cause. A fun, light space shooter has been crippled by a horrible implementation of gamepad controls. [May 2016]

Star Fox Zero is a decent but unspectacular return of a once great series, and is held back by forced motion controls and some questionable level design.

Star Fox Zero is just plain rotten. An otherwise run-of-the-mill space shooter that couldn’t be content with its own mediocrity and subsequently mutilated itself in a desperate attempt to stand out.

This game is alot of fun to play i really love the controls theyre alot better and feel fresh and i found my self using the barrel roll alot more than the starfox 64 or starfox assault games. I also really loved the mission where you get to play as peppey and i was psyched to see that i get to play as him and they have alot of elements from the older starfox games like the walker mode that from what i could see was originally in starfox 2 which never came out originally until super nintendo classic but they have that feature in the game and its amazing to use. And the story is also really good in my opinion so i give the game a 10 out of 10.

The game is passable. The controls while not good aren't really this horrible or incapable of being used, the level design is good and it's not actually ripped from 64 like internet people make you think, the models are amazing, the music even more and this is the best voice acting the franchise has had

This was my first Star Fox game, and I almost beat the main game, but the disc got scratched, but it was fun though.

I really wanted to like this, I really did. The idea is good, the stages are well thought out and interesting but the controls sealed the deal for me. I could not get past the controls, they always felt unnatural to me and really forced in. It left a bad taste in my mouth, especially as it was the first Star Fox game I have ever played. if they are all like this, I might not play another one

This game was the biggest disappointment of the year for me. It shows how Nintendo isn't evolving in the gaming world. Things are suppose to be bigger and better looking, Star Fox Zero doesn't deliver that. Aside from the awkward and annoying controls, the game itself is extremely short, probably about 1/3 the size of the N64 version. Looking at two screens was a terrible idea that is forced on the player for this game. There is no way around it. It's so bad, and so pointless. To me it just felt like Nintendo was trying to say that the game tablet had a purpose, and maybe it could have for this game but dividing your attention between your TV and tablet isn't fun or very practical. If you want to play a great Star Fox game, stick to the snes and N64 versions. I played through Zero once just because they got my money, I didn't enjoy the experience enough to go back and play again.
