Pure arcadey on rails fun. The original Star Fox its quite primitive by today's standards, but if you play the Star Fox EX hack with framerate improvements and QoL features to make it closer to Star Fox 64, this game holds up quite well.

Besides Star Fox 64, there hasn't been an on rails 3D shooter that has felt as satisfying as Star Fox. Everything about this game and series is great. The gameplay, the music the characters. No need to play this one since Star Fox 64 is essentially a remake, but the EX hack is definitely worth playing.

Wow what an impressive game
It's very ass
I'm really fine with old game jank but this is way too shit and for the 2 hours I had with this game I was constantly telling myself "wow I could be playing the N64 version"

Game is pretty fun still from this day. It struggles with frame rates from time to time, but overall, a fun and solid shooter. I’ll have to challenge and beat the other routes to 100% this one sometime.

Not bad for the start of it's franchise. The game seemed too ambitious for the platform it was on; trying to be 3D without the capabilities to. Graphics were a bit choppy and I would be hit my enemies without knowing why, as it can be hard to make sense of what's happening on the screen at times. Such a short play though, so I'd definitely recommend playing to see where the series started out!

Despite basically being a button mashing game where it's terribly hard to understand what's going on on the screen, this game has its charm.
Being so simple yet entertaining, it also utilize the SNES system to the max, being one of the few 3D games on the console directly published by Nintendo.
