Star Fox 64

Star Fox 64 is a video game for the Nintendo 64 that was released in 1997. It is noted as being the first video game that used the innovative Rumble Pak that is commonly used in today's video games. The game was renamed Lylat Wars in Europe, because the name "Star Fox" was already registered by a company called Mythicon.

The game has gameplay similar to the original video game Star Fox which was released on the SNES. While the Arwing stages make a triumphant return, there are also stages where you can ride in a tank (called the Landmaster) and in a submarine (called the Blue Marine) though a majority of the stages require you to control an Arwing. Many critics also praise the voice acting used both in and out of gameplay, where the characters gave you plenty of tidbits of information, as well as often times saying random things, such as Peppy says things such as "Do a Barrel Roll" and "Try a Somersault".

Star Fox was originally to have a sequel on the SNES, which was finished but eventually canceled. Much of the leftovers was transferred over to Star Fox 64, although Star Fox Command better resembles the original.

Reception
This game is the most popular game of the series. Fans, however, are particularly annoyed with the voice acting, particularly Slippy.

Trivia

 * The frozen planet Fichina was mislabeled as Fortuna in Star Fox 64 due to a translation error.
