Star Fox Adventures is an action-adventure video game developed by Rare and published by Nintendo for the GameCube for the Star Fox series. It was released in North America on 23 September 2002, Japan on 27 September, Australia on 15 November and Europe on 22 November. Along with being Rare's only GameCube title, it was Rare's final game for any Nintendo home console before the company was acquired as a first-party developer for Microsoft's Xbox division the day after the game's release in North America. It is the third instalment in the series and the direct sequel to Star Fox 64.
The game follows Fox McCloud attempting to save the Dinosaur Planet from Andross. It began development as an unrelated game named "Dinosaur Planet", initially intended to be Rare's last standalone title for the Nintendo 64 system. The game endured a number of dramatic changes during development before Shigeru Miyamoto noticed similarities between the original game and Star Fox and convinced Rare to re-brand it into a Star Fox title for the upcoming GameCube.
The game received mostly positive praise from critics upon release. Notable topics of praise included its detailed graphics, new character design for Fox, dynamic environments and The Legend of Zelda-influenced gameplay. However, the game was criticized for its aforementioned gameplay being too much of a departure from previous Star Fox games, while mixed reactions came from critics and fans alike for Rare's departure from Nintendo.
Star Fox adventures is a 3D action-adventure game with platforming elements. Its gameplay is frequently compared to that of the The Legend of Zelda series, especially The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Like Ocarina of Time, Star Fox Adventures has a day-and-night phase, but a more gradual one. The game also has a widescreen mode, designed for widescreen television sets.
