I'm loving it. The control scheme is rewarding, if you put the time into it. A few of the levels (Zoness) suffer under the dual-screen setup, but many are enhanced by it.

Definitely not intuitive, but also a very unique experience. Having said that, I'd prefer the next title is designed in such a way that motion controls (or a second screen) are optional.

This game is built with a second screen in mind, and would lose a lot if the main scheme could be disabled.

The ranters are out in force. This is the kind of game you have to try for yourself. It's definitely going to split the fanbase.

If you have any love for Star Fox, give it two to three hours. It's at least as good as "Command" and "Assault" - even if it doesn't stack up perfectly against the first two games. 

I must admit, though, I picked up the controls pretty quickly. My wife never "got" them at all. Some are going to wonder what the fuss is about at all. Just depends on how quickly you adapt to completely new experiences. 

Now, "Hyrule Warriors"... that was a turd. People loved it because it was easy. "Star Fox Zero" is an awesome but flawed game. I've had moments that I've been frustrated with it, and moments of pure gaming joy. 

On the whole, I'm quite tickled by this game.

I believe you. I don't know why, but I do. I'm going to try it for myself.

Your miss, the game is great & the controls, once you have paid your admitance fee with a mild but short learning curve, are very rewarding & fresh!!!

My son is enjoying it, but says its about a 7, and he's a big nintendo fan... he doesn't say its a bad game, but to add some perspective he spent most of the day playing ratchet and clank.

Seems like a rare Nintendo game that will drop in price rapidly as it seems like a game few will keep and after a few generations of secondhand copies I think the price will be very low. Could be wrong but I'm not hearing much positive about it. The range here seems to be from hate to ok and not much beyond.

I was looking forward to the game but the reviews and comments are a killer. It's now just merely a game I'd like to play at some point rather than being motivated to get quickly.

Maybe the reason Nintendo are throwing out half-baked games is all the real work is being done on an amazing NX launch line up. Here's hoping.

Your mistake, reviewers that can't play this game are clueless, this is not an IOS pay2win game!!! You need arms, hands & skilled fingers & the end of them to play this game... you have to be a gamer to play this not a COD casual!!!

I really need to play this for myself, but I don't think it looks bad at all..

where have you seen Starfox 3D (3DS) for 10-20$? the loose cartridge alone is like 30$ everywhere online, complete like 50$. I think they stopped manufacturing the game or something (like Kid Icarus and Ocarina of Time 3D) as the price has stayed up

sad to hear about the reviews.

not totally shocked though, enough of the weird controls Nintendo! also as soon as I heard this would be a remake of the N64 franchise making title, I knew they had went the wrong route. Should have made a complete new experience. the N64 game is still insanely replayable and controls great. They prepared themselves for failure by making a better looking game than the old one that controls worse. just strange
