In the role of a fighter-pilot fox named Buck McCloud, players find space-faring adventure throughout a fantastical galaxy populated by anthropomorphic animals. Star Fox 64 3D is a portable remake of the Nintendo 64 classic that uses the 3DS' stereoscopic display and unique hardware interfaces. The game follows the plot and play style of the 1997 original, although in "3DS Mode," players can steer by tilting and turning the 3DS in the direction they want to fly. A "64 Mode" is available as well, with controls more similar to those of the console version. The flight sim action includes dog-fighting and obstacle-course challenges. From one cliff-hanger mission to the next, McCloud and his squad-mates follow a branching path across the galaxy, facing high-speed 3D flight challenges on planet surfaces and in deep space. "Download Play" local multiplayer options allow up to four 3DS gamers to fly together on a single copy of Star Fox 64 3D. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
