This game is ridiculously impressive for its time. Even though the graphics are "dated', there is a certain charm and artistic quality to this low-poly style that I find more pleasing to look at than many modern games.

​@chuckbuskeeI'd say that many GameCube and original Xbox games aged pretty decently. PS2? Meh.

Nintendo really brought their A game on this one. When the commercials would say, "Now you're playing with power," while showing footage of Star Fox, you really didn't have much choice but to believe them :) In 1993, this was mind-blowing stuff. バレルロールをしろ！

Back in those days, this game was the perfect mix of awesome graphics, great controls, nonstop action, immersive gameplay and a breathtaking soundtrack. Very few times in history a game haves so much qualities.

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

The control is very sluggish since the game has a low framerate I guess you just get used to it. Still its a great straight-up shooter w/ no fancy shit to ruin it

[@coachtomi6558]

30 years after, some of the best memories of my childhood! What a game!! The graphics for the time were unmatched. The soundtrack, the playability. The best game I've played as a kid

[@Stance1988]

Not unmatched at all. PCs in 93 beat this graphically by a long shot. The game also has potato fps with many big tanking drops. Impressive for a console in 93, thats about it.

[@I_am_BiG_Al]

I used to be at school thinking I can't wait to get home to play this

[@jaynine454]

You and me both pal!

[@DavideGendo]

Dated as they are, the graphics still display impressive use of low-poly models in some scenes, especially the bosses. Just look at the Arwing itself, an iconic design obtained with just a few triangles put together. Lately indie developers are rediscovering the joys and challenges of more rudimental 3D graphics that forced developers to be more creative with the few polygons they got, and this is one of the past titles they should take as an example. Also, even more Star Wars ripping than I recalled.

[@DrGreenThumbNZL]

Flat shaded polygons are awesome! (yes i know some in starfox are textured) looks and aged a hell of alot better then old PSX bump mapping

[@NintendoComplete]

@@DrGreenThumbNZL Seriously. This reminds me of that old Dire Straits video - the earliest 3D stuff still has some charm like the 8-bit 2D stuff does :) 3D got a lot uglier before it got cleaner again lol

[@MrNiceguy3210]

Well the funny thing is that low-poly graphics have almost become overrated now with the rise of indie developers. So the visuals haven't aged too badly. The framerate is a bit subpar but for a 3D game on a console that everyone thought was strictly 2D is beyond impressive. Plus the gameplay and music has aged really well, both are still every bit as enjoyable as they were. I think a low poly remake of this game would still look incredible in HD in fact.

[@alessiobenvenuto5159]

The graphics looks good today! The only thing is the resolution and framerate...

[@bereanathlete723]

I got this video game for my 12th birthday and was instantly hooked, I got lots of gifts that day but this game in itself was more than enough. I stayed up almost all night playing this upstairs in my room. Those were the days.

[@deeyoung8109]

I truly believe this is one of the best games ever made brings back so many memories, endless hours playing this as a child even waking up and putting the tv on silent so parents didn’t know I was awake playing it till early hours of the morning lol.

Excellent music, excellent game , this game was really the beginning of things to come. To me this is the first 3D game for a home console. Super nintendo was a special, it really was.

[@_marlene]

The partnership with argonaut to pull off the 3D is so cool. This game was a passion project and matter of pride, I can tell. It was always one of my favorite and the sound effects haunted my dreams for many years. They still echo around in there.

[@Peter_Morris]

Totally agree with your synopsis. One play of Star Fox was enough to convince us all that polygonal graphics were the future. It's interesting that sprite-based games have still hung on. I thought they would go the way of black-and-white movies or TV - reserved only for "art" type pieces, but I find myself longing for and loving games like Hyper Light Drifter and Axiom Verge for their stunning sprite work and background art. But there's no denying that this game and even the other FX games (I loved Stunt Race FX and couldn't wait to play more racing games like it) demonstrated that the future foretold by Namco's System 21 games and Atari's Hard Drivin' and S.T.U.N. Runner was right around the corner. It was a very exciting time to be a gamer.
