Is Star Fox 64 the best game of the series?

I was thinking about this and really none of the Star Fox games can compare to the one released for N64. Have there even been any true fully flight/drive SF released since then? I know Adventures or whatever it was called had a couple of space missions but it was limited.

From my experience, Starfox64 was the highlight of the series. the StarFox Adventure series took fox out of where he really should have been, the cockpit. It doesn't help that that game was just a remake of an abandoned game called Dinosaur planet (granted SMB2 was doki doki panic, but at least that was fun).

I hear there's a new DS version out that looks to be a pretty good shooter, but I haven't played it yet.

The DS game is called Starfox Command. I think that it's 100% space shooter.

I thought Assault was good, but it really focused too much on the third-person aspect, and not enough on the tried-and-true railshooter aspect.

But when they DID add it, it was awesome.

Starfox64 was a classic but I found the original for the SNES to be the most difficult in the series but not as fun as Starfox64.

Yeah the original was insanely hard. I made it to venom and Andross but lost right as I was about to get the last hits on him.

I couldn't get passed the 4th mission, it was just too hard and my gaming ability back when I was a kid wasen't as good as it was now but I don't think even now I would be able to beat the game. It was just pure insanity o.o

Starfox 64 has to be one of my favorite games ever.

But those who are wondering about the DS version: get it. In my opinion it's one of the best ones since 64 and introduces a lot of new gameplay elements.

Plus it has some great writing in it as well if your going for stories.

Seriously though, I think that they should have released Star Fox 2 back on the SNES. It was finished but did they release it? No, they had to keep their 3D games for the N64, which only came out a year after SF2 would have hit shelves. Sure, they used SF2 when they made the DS Star Fox, but another SNES adventure would have helped the system survive for a little while longer.
