''VideoGame/StarFox Assault'' is the direct sequel to ''VideoGame/StarFoxAdventures'', and returned more to the genre and gameplay of the preceding ''VideoGame/StarFox'' games ''[[VideoGame/StarFox1 Star Fox]]'' and ''VideoGame/StarFox64''. It was released on UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube in 2005. Continuing the trend of all ''Star Fox'' games (except ''64''), the game was not developed by Creator/{{Nintendo}} itself -- this time, ''Assault'' was developed by [[Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment Namco]].

* HotterAndSexier: If Krystal and Wolf's redesign are anything to go by.

* DarkerAndEdgier: ''VideoGame/StarFox64'' was LighterAndSofter than the game it [[ContinuityReboot rebooted]]. But ''Assault'' returned to a decidedly darker and more violent plot.
