Star Fox Zero offers a blend of a familiar story with fresh gameplay experiences and mission variety. The controls are the biggest hurdle for this game and will likely deter a lot of players. Those who stick with it and eventually get the hang of things will be thankful that they did in the end.

Falls short in a lot of ways; but for better or worse, it's still the best game the series has seen in years.

Nintendo nearly always nails the controls in their games, so it's disappointing to see them fail here. While I did enjoy seeing the sights and blasting enemies to bits, Star Fox Zero is far from perfect.

The sort of expertly orchestrated action you'd expect from a team-up between Nintendo and Platinum, but the lack of innovation is a little disappointing.
