A VERY FUN SCI-FI GAME 8.5 OUT OF 10
Although this game isn't as good as its N64 successor, this sci-fi adventure is still among the best in gaming. While the 3D graphics look horrendous, it's interesting to see how it worked back in the 16-bit era. In some ways I like the level designs better than Starfox 64's because they feel more creative and more interesting. For example, one part of the game is like a space version of the ocean with whales, stingrays, and more sea creatures in this interesting environment. I like how the villain Andross is designed as well, in fact it's kinda creepy(And he's a fighter in the upcoming Super Smash Brothers Brawl). The missions are still exciting and wierd to this day and it is a very rewarding experience. Though time has done some damage to this game it doesn't feel very worn. Oh, and by the way, Slippy is still an incompetent pilot as he was in Starfox 64, and Falco is still an ungrateful d*** as he was in Starfox 64.

HMMMMMMMMMMMM
I got this game thinking it would be the coolest, and it turned out to be alright, but not suberb. The game itself is fun, graphics(which I make a big deal out of) were like the beginning of "3-D", since it does have polygon graphics.. The ground is not detailed, just green with wierd dots on it. In space though, you have the choice to be in your cocpit or viewing the backside of the ship. Your buddies, Toad, Falcon, and Rabbit say the same things over and over again.
Overall this game is pretty exciting, but you may wanna think it over.

Still fun
This is the original SNES Star Fox game, which puts you as Fox McCloud in an epic, space opera rail-shooter adventure. The game was notable for including the Super FX chip, which gave programmers the ability to create 3D objects with simple polygons.

I booted up this game today, and it's still a blast to run through. Yes, it's very primitive 3D - you can count the individual polygons on each object - but the designs are creative and Nintendo found some commendable ways to make distinct, varied worlds with what they had. It always marvels to see the programming feats and innovations of the 16-bit era, and Star Fox is the pinnacle of that.

More importantly, the game plays well. A couple of the later FX Chip games suffered by pushing 3D at the cost of gameplay. The framerate in Star Fox does suffer a bit in the later levels when there's so much onscreen, but overall the game plays exactly like a fast-paced shooter should. You get your upgrades, barrel rolls, adjustable settings, multiple difficulty levels, and a few secrets to discover - not bad for a game that could've just cashed in based on its graphics.

In the end, this is a Super Nintendo classic. Like the original Mario Kart, it holds up well despite the numerous sequels that have followed. Worth adding to any SNES library.
