Priority one
Opening narration
Narrator: Corneria, fourth planet of the Lylat system. The evil Andross turned this once thriving system into a wasteland of near extinction. General Pepper of the Cornerian army was successful in exiling this maniacal scientist to the barren, deserted planet Venom. Five years later, General Pepper noticed strange activity coming from Venom. James McCloud, Pigma Dengar, and Peppy Hare of the Star Fox team were sent to investigate. Upon their arrival, Pigma betrayed the team and James and Peppy were captured by Andross. Peppy barely escaped Venom and returned home to tell James’ son Fox about his father's fate. A few years have passed. Andross has again invaded the Lylat system. General Pepper has turned to a new Star Fox team headed by Fox McCloud to save Corneria and to free the Lylat system once again.

Misc. quotes
These are quotes that are either repeated in more than one mission or mandatory reactions to gameplay performance. Fox makes a deathly scream when no teammates are active to react to his death, such as during Andross's battles. ROB will only speak when the player has pressed the right C button, so his quote may go unsaid if allowed. If any Ninjin Missiles explode at Area 6, wingmates will react in a painful scream, depending on who is present on the field.

'Star Fox 64', known in Australia and Europe as 'Lylat Wars' due to trademark issues, is a scrolling shooter for the Nintendo 64 and later for the Virtual Console. This game also received a remake, 'Star Fox 64 3D'. It is a reboot of the original 'Star Fox' game, and the only game in the series to be released on the Nintendo 64.
The planned second game in the series, 'Star Fox 2', was originally canceled for the SNES due to the upcoming release of the Nintendo 64. Some of its features were used in Star Fox 64, such as chargedlasers, All-Range Mode, and even Star Wolf. It was the first game to introduce support for the Rumble Pak and was packaged with one. The game received positive ratings from reviewers and critics who praised its smooth animation, detailed visuals, and use of multiple gameplay paths. It has been called one of the greatest games of all time, and is the most popular game in the series.
Prologue
Gameplay
Graphically, Star Fox 64 takes full advantage of the power of the Nintendo 64 to produce realistic, 3-D environments full of alien adversaries. Skim over the surface of an alien sea, weave through the concrete canyons of a futuristic metropolis, or dodge planetoids the size of mountains. Between missions, you'll be treated to real-time 3-D movies that progress the story of the Star Fox team of space mercenaries in their struggle against the evil ape emperor, Andross. The seamless transitions from action to story give Star Fox 64 a truly unique, cinematic feel.
Equipped with the Rumble Pak, the Nintendo 64 Controller becomes a new implement for fun. Not only does the Rumble Pak provide force-feedback in response to the game action, the Controller's analog Control Stick gives you total, precise control of your vehicle, be it a sleek 'Arwing' starfighter, an armored 'Landmaster' tank, or the deep-diving 'Blue-Marine' submersible.The game's fifteen missions link together in a number of possible paths to your final objective: a show-down on Venom, the home planet of the interplanetary tyrant, Andross. Throughout your adventure, you'll have to accomplish challenging objectives in order to reach and conquer every mission. There are two different mission modes in the game; 3-D scroll and all-range. A 3-D scroll mission thrusts you forward into the conflict, and requires intense, split-second reactions. Multiple paths are possible through these scrolling missions, depending on the choices you make. All-range mode missions enable you to maneuver in full 360-degrees, and to put your Arwing through radical combat maneuvers like loop-the-loops and high energy turns.
Controls
Medals and Expert Mode
In addition to the main goal to complete the stage, every stage also has a secondary goal in the form of a target number of kills. Once the player has gotten enough kills, as long as all his allies are still alive, his score will turn orange and he will be awarded a medal for that planet upon completion of the mission. If the player earns medals on every mission, he will have the option to play the main game in 'Expert Mode.'
Main article: Medal
Versus Mode
Main article: Versus Mode
There are three modes available:
The first two options have Corneria and Sector Z as the possible stages, while the time trial has Katina and Sector Z. At first, only the Arwing is available, but the Landmaster is available after winning a medal on Venom in Normal Mode, and an interesting primitive on-foot mode is available after gaining a medal on all missions in Expert Mode.
Soundtrack
The music in Star Fox 64 was composed by Koji Kondo and Hajime Wakai. The soundtrack has new themes that differ from the original title and introduced leitmotifs that have become a staple in the series, including the Star Fox Team's theme.
Voice Acting
Star Fox 64's sound effects and music add to the cinematic feel of the game. Over 700 voice samples allow for almost constant radio chatter between Fox McCloud and his wingmen. Enemy characters will also get in on the act, taunting you as you oppose them. The PAL version of Star Fox 64 (Lylat Wars) has an option to use the Lylat language which is similar to spoken language in the original Star Fox.
Reception
Star Fox 64 received critical acclaim and was one of the top-selling games of 1997, second only to Mario Kart 64. In the first five days of the game's U.S. launch, over 300,000 copies were sold, surpassing the record previously held by Mario Kart 64 and Super Mario 64. Sales were considerably less in Japan, where it sold 75,595 copies during the first week of sale. The game also took the #73 spot in Nintendo Power's 'Top 200 Nintendo Games Ever'. GameSpot declared Star Fox 64 'an instant classic' and was impressed by the voice acting. Glenn Rubenstein, the reviewer, noted that the game is 'a pleasure to look at' and liked the cinematic quality of the storyline. Although other reviewers such as IGN said that the game is 'extremely repetitive' and that the music quality was not as good as the original Star Fox, they still praised the branching system and 'intelligently designed levels' which compensate for those points.
The GameSpot review of the Wii Virtual Console version of the game paints a similar picture. It earns a (8.3/10), praising for simple, enjoyable shooting gameplay, lots of voice-acting, nice to look at despite its graphic age and the added replay value in finding hidden paths, but found the lack of rumble support 'alarming', especially since it was the first game to support the 64's Rumble Pak.
