Starfox 64 brings its SNES cousin into full, stunning 3D. This game is a hybrid rail shooter/free flyer. Tasked with destroying the evil Andross (who supposedly killed the protagonist's father), you must battle your way through a number of planets in your star system. Play begins "shmup" style, with camera behind the player's ship. Enemies enter the area and attempt to attack your "arwing" (ship). You have lasers and bombs with which to neutralize the enemy ships.
On my first attempt, I progressed to the 2nd to last level before failing 8 times in a row (game over). The game grows exponentially more difficult at you progress, and a boss greets you at the end of every level. I found the music highly addictive, and the controls gave me no problems at all. In certain levels, you transition from rail mode to "all-range mode" which essentially lets you fly freely within the level's bounds. I found this mode especially difficult because enemies come at you from all sides as opposed to just the front and back.
