Yes no poll allows for more options in voting, is harder to stuff and lets me keep track of peoples votes for changing them or adding votes to old days.

Also this is like an 8 in my heart but I cant justify more than a 6 as it is quite simple and rough in many ways. I think it has a lot of things going for it.

First, to totally steal an argument from Austin Walker about Revenge of the Sith, there is a reason that EVERYTHING in this game became a meme. Its because it is deploying very universally understood and memorable epic or poetic ideas then executing it all effectively. Its not a detailed drama its an operatic fantasy.

Second, the branching narratives of this game are genuinely impressive - its fairly rare you see something like this even today. It also actually makes sense unlike say Shadow the Hedgehog which does the same idea just terribly.

Lastly, the presentation was genuinely ahead of its time. Not only does it have full voice acting and a cinematic style, but it seamlessly integrates the story with the gameplay rather than relying on cutscenes.

At the time Star Fox 64s storytelling was genuinely impressive and it does hold up better than its contemporaries even if I cant call it amazing by todays standards.
