Star Fox Review - Velan Studios' Cinematic Lylat Reboot Hits the Target, Even If It Plays It Safe

A gorgeous, joyously playable restoration of a 1997 classic - the best-reviewed Star Fox since the N64 original. Velan Studios nails the spectacle, controls and replay-friendly branching, but its devotion to the source means a short campaign and few surprises. A triumphant homecoming that plays it safe.
