This is not the traditional Star Fox title you would expect. Rather than an on-rails shooter aiming for the high score, you are instead thrust out of the cockpit, given a magical staff, and told to explore an island filled with dinosaurs.
It's weird, but it wasn't the worst idea. The bad idea was also having to escort a baby dinosaur around for many parts of the game. A dinosaur that has pretty bad AI, so escorting and even getting him to do the thing you want him to do is a painfully tedious experience.
Other than that, it's a pretty bog-standard adventure game, similar to the Legend of Zelda games at the time. It doesn't do anything unique or clever, and its Arwing sections are honestly super easy. The story also feels mashed together, with a "surprise" boss at the end of the game that feels shoehorned in.
I don't have much else to add to this, it's fine at best and frustrating at worst. Play this only if you're curious about the history of Star Fox or Rareware.
