Fox Force

Fox Force was a series of games by Namco Project Aces and Argonaut Software published by the Nintendo-Sony Group. The games were made from Argonaut's cancelled concept for Star Fox(Which existed OTL).

The series is about Anthropomorphic Foxes as Helicopter Gunship Pilots. In a world where Animals and Humans co-exist but also constantly go to war with each other.

The First Game in the series, Fox Force, was released in 1997 for the SNES-CD and included full voice acting and a cockpit view, Telemagination, who recently axed Farthing Wood despite working on a new series based on "The Siege of White Deer Park" were behind the animations shown in-game, as there were Animations similar to those from OTL's Ace Combat 3:Electrosphere. The Soundtrack being borrowed from Ace Combat 2. The voice actors being Rupert Farley, Ron Moody, Jon Glover and Michael Guinn.

The Third Game, Fox Force 3 was released in 2006 for the Bluecube, the art style of the characters has been changed significantly, Telemagination no longer make the cutscenes and instead Felicie Haymoz and Wes Anderson were behind the projects aesthetic and character design, this results in OTL's Fantastic Mr Fox being cancelled and with the permission of Roald Dahl's estate, several plot elements from the film being used in the game, and Fox Force 3 features Steve Blum as Jack Bartlett, a guttural growling Fox who's callsign is "Heartbreak One", Karen Strassman as Reiko "Whisper" Nagase, Heartbreak One's current Girlfriend, and you play as Ash "Scarface One" Fox, who is voiced by Jason Schwartzman in his first video game role.
