Star Fox Zero Reviews
In every way it's the faithful successor to Star Fox 64 that fans have been anticipating for almost 20 years.
Star Fox Zero ist leider eher ein kurzweiliger Spaß geworden, der sich großteils nur an Hardcore Fans der Serie richtet und bis auf wenige neue Schauplätze/Fahrzeuge und eine gewöhnungsbedürftige Steuerung zu wenig neues bringt. Oldschool Fans der Serie sollten aber trotzdem genügend Spielspaß bekommen, da das Gameplay an sich wirklich solide geworden ist und vor allem die freischaltbaren Modes zusätzlichen Spielspaß bringen.

Star Fox Zero follows the classic structure of its predecessors and tops it off with a new control system that will make or break how the players perceive Nintendo's latest opus in the Star Fox series. It could certainly benefit from a more luxurious visual environment but once its new control system has been mastered, the players will find this new collectables-packed journey across the Lylat system nothing short of rewarding and satisfying.

It's a little short and familiar, but forget Adventures, Assault, and Command, this is the Star Fox game that we should have got a long time ago.
Star Fox Zero fails to capture the magic of its predecessors
The first full-fledged Star Fox game in years mixes classic stylings with unconventional controls. But does it deliver?
Star Fox Zero serves as a good way to please fans and get new players on board, but the occasional control issues can be slightly frustrating. Feel free to forget about Guard, though.
As much as there is to love in Star Fox Zero, sadly the awkward controls of various vehicles, and the horrendous forced second viewpoint and gyroscope targeting of regular Arwing and Landmaster stages almost ruin the entire experience. There are tremendous highs when the core Star Fox controls kick back in, but moments of frustration are present that simply wouldn't have been if feedback from early hands-on reports had been taken on-board.
Sometimes great, sometimes rough but mostly patchy, Star Fox Zero is depressingly mediocre. Fox and the gang deserve much better next time around.
It's the Star Fox game you wanted...in 2002.
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.
Star Fox Zero revisits on the series' best days, while recapturing its great ship combat, but motion controls and too many recycled elements dampen the experience.
Star Fox Zero is great. It's loads of fun, even more fun with friends, and I can't help but recommend it. Another Wii U essential? Well, it might not be for everyone but Star Fox fans will adore it.
Star Fox Zero's status as a love-letter to the past is solidified. While it does a good job channeling a lot of what was great about Star Fox 64, it fails to really build on it in new and exciting ways, and stumbles because of the Wii U Gamepad.
It's a little sad that Star Fox Zero, a game that wonderfully shows the benefits of the Wii U Gamepad, came out so late in the system's life. Still, it's worth getting for anyone who owns the console, especially if you were a fan of the series in the '90s. Star Fox Adventures now seems like a distant, unpleasant memory.
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.
Fast e furious: the Fox team is back with an old-school shooter visually underwhelming, but that's a joy to play (even if the control scheme can be a bit tricky).

While there's a lot to like about Zero, its gameplay innovations seem sometimes obstructive and the presentation fails to impress in some regards. It's still a great game, but measured against other timeless Nintendo classics, its shortfalls hold it back from standing in the company of giants.
Star Fox Zero is a very fun game. But you first need to learn that lesson the hard way.
