Is it still worth playing?
A 2011 rail shooter for the Nintendo 3DS, a remake of Star Fox 64, which was called Lylat Wars in Europe and Australia. You steer Fox's Arwing fighter jet with the Circle Pad, bank left and right with the shoulder buttons, and use the four right hand buttons to fire lasers and bombs, boost and brake. The directional pad performs somersaults and U-turns and zooms in and out of the Arwing in All-Range Mode. You can also use the 3DS's gyroscope to control the Arwing, and dialogue, messages and control information appear on the bottom screen. A multiplayer Battle Mode allows up to four players locally through Download Play, or battles against computer opponents. Each mission is still a flight to master, steering with the stick or by tilting the console.
