    The Story is great , the characters and the ships are awesome but is not NINTENDO best graphics work for a 2016 game, but this game haves a lot of fun in it so the graphics became worthless, everybody is complaining about the controls, its kind of true are quite complicate to get used to, but after the first level everything is really great.

    Really enjoyable if you play a second time through, getting used to the control schemes is the biggest hurdle to enjoyment so consider the first play through 'training'. It becomes a really fun experience to revisit as it seems all more intuitive and flashes of what make the franchise such a great game 20 years ago come to the fore.

Los escenarios son muy variados y bien ambientados, el hecho de haber múltiples rutas en cada nivel lo hacen muy rejugable. El control puede que sea problemático al principio, pero una vez que te acostumbras lo disfrutas bastante, ademas de que es muy preciso y hace que te metas en el juego. Lo recomiendo bastante, otro muy buen exclusivo al catalogo de wii u.… Expand

    There are 2 options for controls, the first is full gyro controll so you can freely aim at all time and if you click in the left stick you can recenter the reticle, this is handy for hitting off screen enemies too, the 2nd option allows you to turn off motion controlls but they still work only when you charge shot so it's closer to traditional stafox.

    The side views are also optional as you need to zl lock onto the target but this can also help and get in the way at times, it has taken a while for me to get used to aswell as the enemies especially bosses have really good aiming with there lasers, and with some there's more than one way to take them down, there's one boss on corneria in the water i died loads on but now i can complete that mission first time, there was also a mission where i had to fly into a ship to take out a sheild and before i even knew what was happening all i heard was firing laser, my heart was pounding as i litrally only just made it out.

    Overall i'd say this is a good game with a deepish learning curve, when i died i didn't feel cheated i felt i had to get better and i have and can still get better, this is the closest to the starfox i have wanted since i was a kid.

    You may think a 9 is abit too generous but im in love with this game right now.    … Expand

    Awesome game, it has a lot of The classical game series, (not The sad versions of The gamecube, but The ones for N64 and snes).

    The controls aré not The conventional ones but they work just fine and aré very intuitive, Is a must have for The wiiu.

    Despite the controls its a really solid game itself. Fun combat great music and keeps to that 64/snes feel. And with the amiibos adds new challenge to the game. Snes arwings cannot lock on to targets so you much be a good shot. The dark arwing is stronger, but shield is weaker.

    Really impressive game, if you want to go for high scores be prepared for a challenge. Starfox is really hardcore. Beware this is a arcade game on it's core. The new gameplay is interesting and shakes things up, although not as intuitive as some people might expect.

In my opinion, Starfox Zero is a game that every Wii U owner should experience. A lot of people skipped over this game because of being scared over controls from critics that some admittedly didn't even finish the game and from players that haven't even played it for themselves! This game is a return to roots arcade shooter that Starfox fans have been waiting for since Starfox 64. The new 2 screen cockpit gamepad based controls really make you feel like you are flying a ship after completing a mission or 2. No other game has ever done that for me. They are so innovative and immersive with some practice. The graphics for running 60 dos on 2 screens at the same time are very well done. The level design, music, voice acting and bosses are just great overall. Also the Amiibo support is awesome especially with the retro SNES arwing unlock with the fox Amiibo.The game is only about 4 hours long but the replay value of going back into the levels for all medals and high scores make it last much longer. I found myself wanting to go back and play levels again just because they are so fun to play. I wish Nintendo had included controller remapping options, included some form of multiplayer, and online leader boards to really make this game have a broader appeal to more gamers. The lack of these options will unfortunately scare away a lot of adopters to this game. Let's hope DLC is in the works! If you give it a chance to adapt to the control scheme Starfox Zero is one of the most fun Wii U games on the system and a great addition to the Starfox series! Do a barrel roll and give Starfox zero a chance and I believe you'll really enjoy this game!… Expand

    Un videojuego al más puro estilo arcade, si no has jugado a ninguno de los anteriores puede que te sea difícil el control al comienzo pero en un rato te envuelve hasta no darte ni cuenta de que lo tienes totalmente integrado, muy divertido y quizás se quede algo escaso de fases pero lo suple con una maravillosa rejugabilidad sello de Platinum Games.

    Don't let the critic reviews scare you. The controls aren't that daunting to get the hang of. They'll take some time to master, to be sure, before you'll be blasting through the hit par scores and time par scores with ease, but getting used to them enough to play the game through and have a blast should take you all of a mission or two.

    The game is an homage of sorts to both Star Fox and Star Fox 64, and even pays tribute to the never released Star Fox 2 by way of the Walker. It'll be both familiar and new to fans of the series, bringing you through familiar locales and putting you up against familiar enemies from the SNES and 64 games, but it also brings with it new locations and new enemies as well, and they've made for some of the most fun boss battles and skirmishes in series history, in my opinion.

    Hell, I even didn't mind the Gyrowing, though if you hate it THAT much, there are hidden paths that will allow you play through the levels typically played with the Gyrowing with the Arwing/Walker instead.

    All in all, this is a great return to form for the series. It's not without its annoyances and the controls CAN be wonky at times (getting used to the Walker takes some time, for instance) but on the whole they really were a non-issue when it came to my ability to enjoy the game, and I can't wait to jump back in to continue hunting for medals and secrets!

And once you know how they work it's actually pretty easy to pick up and play. Overall I'd say it's a good game, it would be nice however to be able to customize the controls some more. But it's not like Nintendo hasn't added features via DLC before or patches.

    My opinion is that people complained when the gamepad wasn't used enough, they used it more this time with its controls and people complained about that. You can't make most Nintendo fans happy one way or another. So what it comes down to is if you like star fox 64 and you have enjoyed games that utilize the game pad.

    All issues critics have with this game, from it's length, to the controls, to the way the game is meant to be played and enjoyed is inherently due to critics not enjoying this kind of fast paced, arcade style shoot 'em up. There is NOTHING wrong with the game's controls. They offer an intuitiveness that is not found in any other kind of flight simulator, and make the game feel so much immersive than any other game in the genre. There is nothing wrong with the game's length, as it is designed to be played over and over and over again in order to improve scores, find new secrets, and collect medals. A very challenging undertaking that I have only just now finished.

    However, despite how short the game is, this is not a game you can just breeze through without having to put any effort into it. Looking at you, Uncharted 4. Star Fox Zero is a game that has a lot of depth, but it is so deep and complicated that all of it's critics can't even handle it. They don't like being challenged to do completely new things every mission, they don't like finding out the hidden objectives, or learning the quickest ways to beat a boss, and they don't enjoy having to learn how to play something completely new and different.

    Star Fox Zero builds on what made 64 great in a satisfying, fresh way. The features and mission designs we love are back, but we also get that feeling of something new, and a big part of that is due to the control scheme, which is intuitive, easy to use, and offers an insane amount of depth to the general gameplay.    … Expand

    Criminally underrated.
    I'm not saying everyone should like/ enjoy it, because opinions and enjoyability are subjective, but this is not a bad game - in the slightest.
    So the controls, yeah? Now, I'm not keen on anything motion related. Gaming is what I do in my down-time, so I like to chill out with a pad and, y'know, relax. However... I really enjoyed the controls for this. I'm sure    Criminally underrated.

I really enjoyed the controls for this. I'm sure they're a nightmare if you've no coordination, but those of us who are rhythm machines will have a blast. The only criticism I had was regarding the Walker, that there was no strafing, and it turned out the actually was, which made a huge (and enjoyable). It'd be nice if there was a pro controller patch for those who feel they need it, but I feel that would genuinely detract from the experience. Otherwise, if you're avoiding this purely because of the motion-controls, then whatever, it's your loss.

    Graphics? I'm not sure what the fuss is, but they look fine to me. Nothing to **** the bed over, but not so bad that I feel compelled to moan about them. They're crisp, with some solid texturing and the overall style is a something of a nod to Star Fox/ Starwing. Maybe that's just not your jam, though, and that's fine, too.

    It's a pretty short game, fo' sho', but the replayability is substantial. Just like every other Star Fox. Except Adventures. And Assault, but the latter had me coming back for more.

    Story? S'aight. It's no Ni No Kuni or Last of Us, but try to keep in mind you're a fox, in a spaceship, fighting a giant monkey head, so let's not try to take things too seriously.

    Zero is a solid game, and more, and I think the reactions it's received speak more about the modern gamer/ critic rather than th game itself. I'm not saying those opinions are wrong, or dismissing their validity - I'm just saying they're ****e.    … Expand

    Uno de los grandes aspectos del juego es la acción,no solo jugando solo, sino también compartiendo con alguien el modo historia se vuelve bastante frenético y adictivo. Los múltiples caminos y las misiones para obtener las medallas dentro de cada planeta hacen que el juego sea diferente y desafiante según las decisiones que tomes.
    La función con amiibos es buena, sobretodo si tienes el de Falco, que básicamente te desbloquea el modo de juego "Heróico" donde haces más daño pero también lo recibes, haciendo más táctico el control de las naves.
    En general es un gran juego, muy divertido, si te gusta completarlos al 100% tienes muchas horas de entretenimiento, muy bueno en cooperativo.    … Expand

I get that is not the conventional way to play a game, but how can you play splatoon, and somehow find this game control scheme awful?! is almost the same thing as splatoon. actually i would say that they are the best controls for the ar-wings in the franchise. High level gameplay in this game is much more, gratifying and cool looking than any star fox (i'm saying this as a fan that played every game in the franchise). of course is not only good things i have to say. The game lacks originality in story (really is the third time this story is told. ok the way they told is a little bit different and a lot of the moments are new. but is not like this game wasn't the chance for we to have a James mcloud game), the graphics, while being good a lot of times, some of the environment are very bare-bones, almost looking like an hd wii game, some of the button mappings are very strange and the game really needed a proper multiplayer, since star fox was aways an arcady franchise and part of the replay value is to play with other people. i wonder why there is not any local multiplayer vs mode, or a proper coop (since the one in the game is really just for the butt-hurts who can't spend 10 minutes in training mode learning how to play). another thing that dragged down my experience with the game was the new gyrowing vehicle. the gameplay is very slow, and don't fit the rest of the more frenetic gameplay, even though is just in some few stages, the ar-wing walker mechanic could easely fit the more stealth portion they tried with the gyrowing, so the addition is not that good. Otherwise, my second fav star fox game after only 64 3ds. Oh! And the game is a star fox game, why people complain about the lenght of the game?! Wasn't the replay aspect the core idea of playing star fox?! and the multiple routes, secret stages and medal system is exactly for this.… Expand

The music is also obviously fantastic, and its always fun to listen to the banter between the characters, and while yes the game is almost a complete retread of starfox 64 in terms of the locations you go through and the story, I don’t see how that’s a bad thing. Starfox 64 was a great game! So it really dosen’t hurt that zero is so similar to that classic from the 5th generation at all. Also zero does make enough devations from 64 to stand out in its own right, so its not like its the exact same game as 64. Overall, starfox zero gets an 8/10. It would be a bit higher if it weren’t for the frustrating moments such as certain boss fights, but its still a great game that is absolutely worth playing if you haven’t done so yet.… Expand

    Star Fox Zero is a wonderful re-imagining of one of the most beloved games in the series, blending elements from its early history in a tasteful manner. The meatier story mode leaves you with a better sense of fulfillment over its predecessors, and while there isn’t an online leaderboard to compare best times or scores, there are other extras to keep you playing. Adapting to the new controls might take more patience than some players are willing to give, but those who stick it out are rewarded with a higher-degree of precision than previously possible. It’s by no means perfect, but it’s safe to say Miyamoto’s latest experiment is a success.

    A rather halfhearted remake of a true classic, with less focus on the story of epic teamwork than one would have expected. A frustrating release for the fans, but nonetheless a fine addition to the Wii U roster.

    If you can handle the gyroscope, you’re in for a quality thrill ride through the Lylat System, difficult but rewarding.
