Star Fox’s loooooooong awaited return doesn’t disappoint on any conceivable level…well…maybe online multiplayer, but given how great this game is, it would be silly to complain.
"Star Fox Zero" is a thrilling sci-fi shooter game with both single-player and co-op modes. Players take control of Fox, Falco, Peppy, and Slippy to save the Lylat system, using the Wii U GamePad for a unique viewpoint and control. The game boasts exceptional visuals, spectacular gameplay, and fantastic music, with multiple vehicles including the Arwing, Gyrowing, and Landmaster Tank.

Critic Reviews
Star Fox Zero Review
Star Fox Zero is a fun trip back to the days of the Super FX chip on the SNES, but for a modern sci-fi shooter on the Wii U it feels a bit threadbare.
70%Star Fox Zero Review
Star Fox Zero may have experienced a rather turbulant flight to market but the end result has been well worth the wait, especially if you're a fan of the N64 instalment - and there can be few Star Fox fans out there who aren't. In terms of pure mechanics, content and structure it's a close match for the 1997 release, following the same non-linear branching pathways and packing each level with bonuses to collect and secrets to discover. The additions made to the Wii U title are generous, with the Walker, enhanced Landmaster and Gyrowing each bringing with them different tactics, strengths and gameplay possibilities. The only issue is that while these alternative modes of transport are fun to use in short bursts, the Arwing is much more fun to pilot - especially when you're dashing through enemy armadas or engaging in thrilling dogfights using the game's all-range mode.
