Company Line / Game Summary

Nintendo and Rare Ltd. join forces to bring Fox McCloud and friends to NINTENDO GAMECUBE. Eight years after the defeat of Andross, the Star Fox team discovers a beautiful prehistoric planet ruled by a sinister tyrant known as General Scales. Players take charge of Star Fox team leader Fox McCloud to free inhabitants from Scales's evil clutches and restore peace to the primal paradise.

Is that a light saber?

My Take

This will be the first Rare game released on the GameCube. So the anticipation is rather high. This game was originally Dinosaur Planet and was going to be released on the N64. Nintendo and Rare decided to team up and add the Star Fox license to the game. Instead of the usual flying missions in previous Star Fox games, this game features land based exploration (there are still a couple flying missions in the game). Rare is considered to be one of the greatest game developers around and with the power of the GameCube this is one game not to miss!

Anticipation: 10/10
