It has been a long time since we have seen a great Star Fox game. Star Fox Command on the Nintendo DS was a quality game, but it's touch controls and play style wasn't really the Star Fox we know and love. The GameCube also saw two poorly received Star Fox games. Star Fox Adventures was a Zelda-clone which strayed too far from the Star Fox formula. Star Fox Assault went back to the game's roots, yet it still lacked a lot of the original Start Fox spirit. As a HUGE Star Fox fan, I am happy to show off a project which could deliver an extremely solid Star Fox experience.

Star Fox: Shadows of Lylat is a fan-made game based off Freespace 2. The game has been in development for nearly 3 years and the work has payed off. The game looks gorgeous. This is easily one of the best fan-made games I have ever seen. Shadows of Lylat easily rivals a GameCube or PS2 game. It is apparent that a lot of time has gone into the development of this game.

The game is still in the early stages of development. The team hopes to have a public beta up soon, however they have not made any promises. The team currently consists of 14 members with several other people offering help when possible. While the game has been in development for a long period of time, it is amazing that these guys have gotten so far in their free-time with no monetary aid.

The team has promised a game with more depth than any previous Star Fox title. The game takes place in a world nearly identical to that in Star Fox 64. However, the team has promised that some areas must be visited more than once in the game. Many different weapons and ships will also be available so that gamers can customize any mission to their liking.

The game also has several major differences the typical Star Fox shooter. The game currently features no "on-rails" levels. The team did state that not every level is finished and this could change later in development. Another drastic change is the absence of Andross. The big-headed creep will not play a role in this game, instead his army of space fighters will play a prominent role.

The game looks amazing and I am anxiously awaiting its release. I must remind everyone that the game is still in production and it might be awhile before we see a release. The team is looking for talented artists and programmers to help with production. If you are interested, I suggest you check out their forums here.

I have included a trailer as well as some exclusive screen shots. I hope you all enjoy.
