Star Fox: Assault soared with its Arwing missions


A look back at Star Fox Assault - a divided game, but the space missions were great!

Fox ditches his former staff for various guns as you fight the Aparoids, insect-like creatures hellbent on assimilation, and half of Assault's 10-mission campaign is effectively a third-person shooter. Facing remnants of Andross' army offers a grand sense of scale that harkens back to 64, while the final Aparoid showdown delivers a satisfying conclusion. | Image credit: Nintendo/Namco These stages sadly don't come about often in Assault, though they gave me exactly what I wanted: a more polished version of the on-rails missions with smoother controls and improved visuals.
