Positive Changes from 64:
- You can now select specific missions after you have gone through them once (GREAT feature especially if you just want to crank out some of the later missions on a commute)
- Now there's a specific score attack mode with even more challenging goals for medals
- 3DS gyroscope control mode which actually surprisingly works rather well for this game
- Local DS Download multiplayer that is pretty fun
- Changed Falco's line to "Hey genius" instead of "Hey Einstein." There's less sass but it's consistent with their world at least so I like it.
Negative Changes from 64:
- Multiplayer lacks the ability to play in the Landmaster or on foot as in the original game
- Some of the music score remasterings I did not like at all. One of my main complaints was the Boss C track remastering. The beginning just sounds SO wrong
FINAL THOUGHTS
Overall, I found the game to be a satisfying experience and if I could remove nostalgia goggles, I would have to say that it is better than the original. It is truly one of the greatest games of all time remastered with modern graphics for a modern system. I think fans of the N64 version would enjoy it, but also anyone who is a fan of space flight combat would also love it as well. There are rich space environments ranging from an asteroid belt to an ocean planet, a lava planet, etc. Go out and buy this game while you still can!
You play as Star Fox, with 3 other animal dudes on your team (a rabbit, a frog, and a falcon). Each mission is on a different planet, and tasks you with flying through, shooting enemies, and taking out bosses. There are actually two types of missions: one is a straightforward linear level with enemies and obstacles flying into your field of view. The other is a wide-open map that features full 3D movement and is closer to games like Ace Combat than StarFox.
The controls are simple but good. You have a basic laser, as well as a limited number of bombs. You can brake or boost. The game is fast-paced and smooth (I am pretty sure it is 60fps), and the controls are responsive. There is optional gyro control, which works well, but I prefer the circle pad.
Nintendo has upgraded the graphics nicely here. The textures are sharp and the effects are extremely good. Snow, water, and lava are all shaded and pop with color. There's none of the dull N64 work you might be expecting. It's a more substantial upgrade than Ocarina of Time. The 3D effects also look great.
The core of the game is, then, a basic but well-executed arcade-style flying game game. It's the sort of thing we used to get all the time, but rarely do nowadays. What is unique about this game is the structure. You start on the planet Corneria, and need to progress to the planet Venom. Along the way there are 15 planets, but you only need to go through 7 of them. Your path is dependent on actions which happen on the planet. For example, on Corneria, Falco is in trouble. If you help him out, you go one way. If you don't, you go another way. This gives the game a ton of replayability. You can mess around and see the different paths. Each map is very different and offers unique challenges. Though one play through is fairly short, Star Fox 64 is not the sort of game designed for one play through.
Also helping the replayability is a score attack mode and the ability to earn medals based on skill. This game plays well enough for a score attack mode to work, and the combination of it and the replayable campaign means that there is plenty here for anyone who gets into it.
The combination of sharp mechanics, great level design, and charm (the characters are goofy and have lots to say) make this a keeper in my opinion. In fact, it just might be the 3DS' best game yet. I know the system has received its share of criticism for the game library, and I guess a port of a fourteen year old game doesn't technically address the problem. But for anyone who has not yet played StarFox 64, it is absolutely a gem of a game and worth checking out immediately.
Star Fox 64 3D for the Nintendo 3DS, brings back all the action from the classic Nintendo 64 game. Yet, nearly 15 years after it debuted, it still feels just like yesterday seeing the madness and mayhem as Fox and company go after the vulgar Andross from invading and destroying the Lylat system. The gameplay feels strong and well, as Fox and company battle through 15 planets and satellites to try and defeat Andross and his foes including the Star Wolf team, villianous bosses like the Sector X robot, and a series of tracking missles set to destroy the Great Fox aircraft in Sector Z. Everything from the original Star Fox game has been brought back to the new Nintendo 3DS well.
What is new to the game that can be a bit shaky is the new 3DS control scheme. Like Star Fox Command from the Nintendo DS era, it can be more frustrating at times to maintain for those who've mastered the game before. Thankfully, you can play only the control pad and traditional N64 scheme which works much better for die hard fans from the past, as well as new gamers. But aside from that, the game looks great re-designed for the 3DS. Nintendo did a good job making it look better than before like they did with The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time 3D, taking the N64 legend to a new generation of fans.The music sounds good as well, by keeping a new take on the score and voice acting from the original game to its core and no re-scripting the game. The multiplayer does add a few wrinkles with handheld gaming, but not really anything that makes it feel different against gamers than what the gameplay was before.
Overall, Star Fox 64 3D is a good reboot of why the Nintendo 64 had great games, and bringing this game back to the core for those who own the Nintendo 3DS. It is a good game from start to finish, but not anything fresh and new for veterans of the original game. Still, it is nice to see another classic deliver well to a new audience of gamers. If you've played the game before, whether it is from the Wii because of the virtual console download or owned the N64 edition, Star Fox 64 3D is worth a try. If you are new to the Star Fox games, it also is worth the arwing flight.

Top reviews from other countries
Enough to have finished the 2nd, harder play-thru of the game and unlock every vs mode vehicles.
Now this version have much improved textures and higher resolution making this a visually refreshing and a good way to draw the younger generations into loving one of the greatest Nintendo titles!!
The upgraded graphics for the 3DS are also welcome.
Plays great on the 3DS, once I get the new 3DS it'll play even better in 3D.
