In Star Fox 64, the player controls one of the vehicles piloted by Fox McCloud, usually an Arwing, as it travels on a fixed-rail that generally moves straight forward. The player's vehicle can be maneuvered around the screen to dodge obstacles and shoot incoming enemies with laser cannons. All vehicles except the Blue Marine can also charge up their laser cannons to unleash a powerful lock-on laser.

As well as the forced progression of the main game, some levels and bosses take place in "all-range mode" (available also in multiplayer battles), where the player can move freely around a rectangular arena and engage in combat with various enemies. The Arwing, however, has one new maneuver, which it can perform in all-range mode. This new ability is performing an Immelmann up-and-over to change direction. In-game, this is called a U-turn. You can also do a barrel roll. (Less) Developer: Nintendo - Released: 1997, Apr 27 - Genre: 3PS - Platform: Nintendo 64,Nintendo Wii - Submitted By: atredes
