Anyways, Star Fox 64 was the very first game that I got for my Nintendo 64 way back in the day. It was also the first game I felt truly proud to have beat all the way through, come to think of it that was the very first game I ever beat. And that's an experience I would never trade it for anything in the world.
Star Fox 64 also helped set the stage for what type of games I would go on to play. I am a huge fan of cheesy game plots (I'm looking at you Call of Duty) and I also like totally predictable twists, sure I like the occasional wow factor from a game that does something completely unexpected (lulz penises), but the majority of the time I'm not really looking for novel storytelling. (Shadow of the Colossus being a huge exception) I tend to like the repetitive and mundane for the most part, especially now that I have a shit-ton of games and don't really have much time to play in-depth games like Oblivion which has been sitting on my hard drive for like 2 years. So it's nice to just pick up a game where the only activity you are doing is mashing the 'fire' button.
This epic piece 64-bit of fried gold is one of my all time favorite games even if the voice acting was horrible and to some the controls a little clunky. I don't care I loved every minute of it. I especially loved the underwater level where you end up having to blow the monster clam of doom. Or the dog fights you find yourself in with your nemesis Star Wolf, who really isn't a bad guy just kind of confused. Or the infamous Landmaster levels, there are just so many good times to be had in that game that it's almost not even funny. And when you finish the main campaign you can plug in your four controllers and play with some friends. (That is assuming you have some.)
If I had this game I think I would play it again, but alas it has been sacrificed for the greater good I think I may try find myself another copy so I can relive the glory days. And if you have never played this game well then you suck and you should go play it right now. Oh well such is life, well I hope you have enjoyed another installment of Nostalgia Theatre.
Don't ever give up, my son.
