Though how you get to the final confrontation is ultimately up to you. You start on the planet of Corneria and must battle your way to the planet Venom where the final battle will take place.
You're part of an elite mercenary group hired to stop the evil Andross. With fast paced combat flying above the surface of planets, out in space, driving in a tank, or even assaulting an underwater bio-weapon in a submarine. Star Fox 64 is a classic game that helped the N64 stand out. Considering the hardware limitations, Nintendo definitely squeezed every ounce of processing power out of the N64 to power this game, producing some amazing graphics. Needless to say, like the original Starfox, this game has phenomenal graphics for its time. You also get to pilot the Landmaster tank, and a submarine, depending on the path you choose.
The all-range mode is especially good, taking you off the rails and letting you fly freely around a mid-range map. While you still choose a path similar to Starfox 1, you get to change paths like in Starfox 2 (but with no free-flying map elements). Starfox 64's path system is pretty much a mix of te ones found in Starfox 1 and Starfox 2. Starfox 64 improves a hell of a lot on the concepts of the original Starfox for the SNES, and takes in a lot of the unreleased (but leaked so you can get it on EP :D) Starfox 2 for the SNES. Easily one of my favorite games o this underdog system, along with Paper Mario and Super Mario 64.
