Release: 1997 Platform: Nintendo 64 A reboot of the original Star Fox, Lylat Wars (or Star Fox 64 as it was known outside of Europe and Australia) is a 3D scrolling shooter, taking players on an epic journey with Fox McCloud. Despite being very arcadey and fast-paced, Lylat Wars had a huge amount of replayability thanks to its branching level design and multiple paths. There were two main styles of gameplay in Lylat Wars. The most common was Corridor Mode, in which the player had to move their ship to dodge incoming obstacles and fire upon enemies, while constantly moving forwards. Some stages of the game switch over to All-Range Mode, in which the player is able to move completely freely, typically when fighting a boss. The smooth animations, colourful graphics and often hilarious voice acting all added up to make for one of the Nintendo 64 era's most memorable titles.
