Star Fox Adventures
Star Fox Adventures is a 2002 action-adventure game developed by Rare and published by Nintendo for the GameCube. The game's story is set eight years after the events of Star Fox 64, with players taking control of Fox McCloud, who is sent on a mission to visit the Dinosaur Planet in the Lylat System and prevent its destruction. Gameplay is divided between Adventure Mode, in which players explore environments while defeating enemies, solving puzzles, and collecting items, and Arwing Mode, which features rail shooter segments.

Where Star Fox Adventures sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Star Fox Adventures lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 63ahead of 16% of the catalogue
- Reach
- 30ahead of 72% of the catalogue
Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
What readers say about Star Fox Adventures
Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
