Lylat Wars-or Starfox as it will be called from now on as Lylat Wars is ridiculous- is very much similar to the SNES version. Appart from the fact that the graphics have now changed into a true 3D form which in plain English means that you will not suffer from bad headaches like tonnes of people did from the SNES version, personnally I never got headaches, everything is very much the same. Like before the Star Fox team has been called out to deal with evil emporer Andross who is threatening to destroy the Lylat System. Your job is to head for Venom, which is a toxic world where Andross base is situated. The Starfox team consists of the same people as last time, which is Fox McCloud -that's you- Peppy, Skippy and Falco. You are armed with Arwing fighters, but also have other units kept in the Mother Tank for neccessary use. The other units consists of a tremendously fun tank which has hovering capabilities called the Landmaster and a sumbarine which takes a bit of time to get used to and is called the Blue Marine. All of your units are equipped with the latest technology lasers which can be charged up and used as homing missiles. Beside from this the Arwing and the Landmaster have Nova Bombs which can wipe out a whole fleet of enemy planes in one foul sweep. The Blue Marine is unable to use Nova Bombs as the water is to dense for them to work efficiently, therefore the Blue Marine has an unlimited supply of torpedoes, these however are no way near as powerful as the Nova Bombs.
The levels in the game are truely breathtaking because of the wonderful graphics. Starfox is the game that truely shows off the Nintendo 64 capabilities to hadle great graphics and keep the speed at a fast rate. There is also a great variety in the levels, which will keep you coming back for more. The best levels have to be the tank levels and the Independence Day level which sees you shooting down enemy mother ship before it uses its main weapon. At the end of each level there is a massive boss which must be destroyed before it destroys you. The bosses are normally huge works of original masterpiece which are truely breathtaking. The movements of the bosses are truely splendid and you are never quite sure what they will do next. However the levels are not acctually that hard to finish, and you would have soon made it to the last level in the game. But, that's not it, once you have finished the game you have to do every level and shoot as many ships as possible to try and get a medal. Once you have every medal possible you then obtain expert mode, which is still pretty easy. The game is made a bit harder by having no save option, which means if you get really far in the game and then have to go out, you are a bit gutted. This does make the game a bit harder and, I think shows that Nintendo new it was easy. So instead of adding loads more levels they decided to not have a save option. Well this is not good enough, I want more challenging games, so come on Nintendo listen to what the public are saying and get rid of your stupid pocket monsters games and make harder games.
During the levels all the characters communicate with each other, and never stop! 32 Mbits of the cart out of the 96 is taken up by their speech which is truely amazing. Many people said that carts were to small to contain a truely awsome game and have speech, well Starfox just proves them wrong.
Appart from the one player game, there is also a multi-player battle mode. The battle mode can be very exciting as long as you are playing with someone who is good at the game. If you play with a novice there will be no fun involved as you would just slaughter them. The battle mode however is no substitute for Mario Kart or Goldeneye, so do not solely buy this game for the battle option.
Don't thank me, thank NintyUK for a great review.

Wahooooo!
Lylat Wars!
Excellent game! No damn save point though, *groan mumble.
I don't think he can post it in the reviews section because SR don't sell it no more.
I wonder if the accident prone frog Slippy will turn up in Starfox adventures and make Fox's adventuring all the more difficult/annoying.
I did read it by the way, what do you mean thank NintyUK, it was your review right? Well done it was good.
I knew the game had a lot of speech but 32mb of 96, woah!
Did you know that in South Park half of the cart was taken up by speech samples? That's a whole 64mb! No wonder the actually gameplay was so rubbish, there wasn't any actual stuff in it.
