Do you like Starfox 64 but wish it were more pretty? Great. That’s this game. Buy it or don’t.

There really isn’t anything to say about it. It’s Starfox 64. It has the absolute tiniest usability changes tacked on – like a standalone tutorial level and a better menu flow and customizable controls and stuff – and obviously it has all-new art assets… but the gameplay is an absolute faithful recreation of the source material.

There’s other stuff but it’s all incidental. You’re here for Starfox 64 But Pretty.

I have one tiny nitpick in that for some reason they removed hit-markers. In SF64 when you successfully hit a dude they flash yellow to indicate you actually hit them. Here that’s gone, which makes certain boss fights more frustrating than they need to be, but it’s fine.

That said, I’m happy with it. It’s worth the $50. Go nuts.
