Posted 29 Aug 2002 at 16:32 by Tim Symons
From the makers of Donkey Kong 64, Banjo-Kazooie and Goldeneye 007, comes a game of epic proportions that will unveil a breath-taking new world never before seen on a console. Fox McCloud cunningly takes the lead in Star Fox Adventures, as Nintendo's secret weapon and 100th game on the NINTENDO GAMECUBE takes off on 22nd November 2002.
In possibly the most epic and evolving adventure game you'll see this year, Star Fox Adventures lures you into the eagerly awaited next chapter of the legacy. Basking in colourful graphics and irresistible gameplay, players will be immersed in the game as the story unfolds across Dinosaur Planet.
After an emergency call, the Star Fox team prepare themselves in their new roles to investigate Dinosaur Planet and save the ancient paradise from being plunged into chaos. Eight years on from defeating Andross, Fox's team has since been disbanded - Slippy's working in research and development; Peppy has retreated to the calmer life of mission support; and Falco? Well, play and see.
Fully equipped with a magical staff, Fox will have to complete a series of missions but not without the difficulty of fighting off mutated dinosaurs and coming face to face with a towering T-Rex. Progress hangs on the help of a young but smart-mouthed triceratops named Tricky and a mysterious young woman - only with their help can you save the unspoilt planet from the evil grasp of General Scales. Fans can also sample some classic Star Fox action and take to the skies with the famous fighter plane, Arwing. Pilot through dangerous asteroid fields and engage in some seriously intense dogfights.
Follow the team through a world set across vast landscapes and explore the dangerous depths of ice-capped mountains, stone temples & exotic forests inhabited by lots of prehistoric animals. Thanks to the breathtaking graphics achieved by the NINTENDO GAMECUBE, players will witness detailed environments brimming with intricate shadow and water effects as well as state of the art character rendering.
Also launching on November 22 is Nintendo's revolutionary NINTENDO GAMECUBE WaveBird wireless controller. So whether you're experiencing the thrill up close or hiding away from reptiles and beasts, take charge of your game without restrictions.
Since its launch on May 3rd, one million units of the NINTENDO GAMECUBE have been shipped into store in Europe, after just 11 weeks. With an outstanding line up of games being released before Christmas, starring the biggest names in interactive entertainment, Nintendo once again delivers the quality of entertainment it is famous for.
Star Fox Adventures is exclusive to the NINTENDO GAMECUBE and launches on 22 November 2002 at the estimated retail price of around 60 Euros.
