Editorial Review

That cute little squishy guy is back in all his pastel glory tosweeten up 2-D life on the Nintendo 64. With 3-D games such asPerfect Dark and Donkey Kong 64 getting the bulk ofattention among consumers, Kirby 64 provides a fun change of pace for bothyoung and experienced gamers who don't necessarily need all threedimensions to have fun.

Young gamers will love the bright, colorful graphics in this game,which is 2-D with some 3-D foreground and background elements. Kirby isjoined by plenty of friends who will aid in his quest to recover thepieces of an important shattered crystal.

While the levels are a bit too easy for older gamers, the gameplay inKirby 64 is original enough to entertain all ages. Kirbystill has an appetite for enemies, sucking them up and spitting themout, but he can also swallow them, inheriting abilities such as fireand cutter. Also, Kirby can now combine enemy powers, often withhilarious results. For instance, electricity plus stone turns Kirbyinto an electrifying little light bulb. Sure, you don't need to use allthese powers, but they're still fun to play with. --Robb Guido

Pros:

• Whimsical 2-D graphics
• Kirby 64's copy and combine abilities result in some unique and variedgameplay

• May be too easy and too cute for older players

Best Tennis Game Ever
Mario Tennis certainly ranks up there with Virtua Tennis and Top Spin as the best tennis games of all time. With that said, let us take a look at what exactly makes this game so great. Well, with any sports games, the factor we have to take into account when analyzing its quality is its gameplay. Specifically, we want to know how well it emulates the sport. At first glance, Mario Tennis would not seem like a good tennis simulator. The controls are simplistic, and the characters are, well, Mario. Yet Camelot, who made Mario Golf, manages to put one over us. Despite the fact that you can perfect the controls in minutes, the game is deep. Ball physics are exceptional, and the type of court actually has an impact on the physics. Each player has his, her, or its own distinct feel. Movement in Mario Tennis feels more fluid than the more "realistic" tennis games, and this opens up the possibility for the development of strategy in your style. One complaint in the actual gameplay aspect of the game is the camera, but this is a flaw that plagues all tennis games. The court is split in halves, and one player/pair gets the bottom half and the camera behind them. This is infinitely better than being on the top half and having the camera facing them. It is possible to keep the camera behind you in single-player mode, but it can be a bother in multiplayer modes.

Like Mario Golf, Mario Tennis is chock full of various modes of play relating to tennis. I feel that the best one is the exhibition play, since that is the one best suited for multiplayer. It's just tennis, plain and simple. You can play a short game (1 set, 1 game) or a standard game (5 sets, first to 6 games). The latter length can get pretty tedious, especially if opponents are well matched. The Bowser match, however, feels underdeveloped. The items were supposed to be the key aspect of the Bowser match, but the rocking of the court seems to have a greater effect. The ring mode is better than ring mode in Mario Golf, since it is easier to aim, but there aren't that much incentives to play this mode. As far as single player mode, Piranha Challenge is super-cheap. Tournament mode, on the other hand, rocks. The game's standard 3 modes are okay. They range from extremely easy to challenging. However, definitely try to beat all three cups with everybody to open up the Star Tournament. Although the matches can get quite epic in length, these are definitely worth playing.

Okay. If you thought that you could get past this review without seeing a comparison with Mario Power Tennis...sorry to disappoint you. Many sport games can be separated into two forms: a more realistic sim-style game, or a less realistic arcade-style game. With improved battle modes and the flashy Power Shots, Mario Power Tennis is definitely more of an arcade-style game. So it all boils down to which type you prefer. MPT is just too insane for me. However, the graphics are definitely nicer than the somewhat blocky graphics in Mario Tennis for the N64.

Although limited, the voice samples are pretty good. The sound effects are well done, as each type of hit produces a different noise. The music is nice, generally falling under the easy-listening category. As far as replay value goes, even though multiplayer is fun, there gets to be a point (for some people) where it just gets old. Even so, Mario Tennis is still one of the best tennis games out there.

Go Tennis
This game is fun! You get to choose from all of your favorite Mario characters and villans. I would really reccomend it. Great game.

GREAT, ADDICTIVE, FUN FOR EVERYONE!!

Editorial Review

Mario's illustrious career has earned the fella the right to relax, so it's no surprise that virtual golfers can now join him on the links... Mario style, of course. In Mario Golf, players join the star and his usual posse--Luigi, Pyoshi, Wario, Princess Peach, and Baby Mario, among others--on six themed courses, each with unique obstacles and landmarks recognizable from Mario's previous ventures. Despite one's expectations of a cartoonish "golf light" experience, the gameplay is actually on par with many serious golf simulations and is undeniably the best golf game for the Nintendo 64.

The game is equally balanced for pros and amateurs alike. Seasoned virtual golfers and perfectionists can choose a club, adjust the golfer's stance, gauge the wind direction, and apply a variety of spins to the ball. Casual golfers can let the computer caddy pick the best club and line up the golfer, and then simply swing away.

A variety of 10 classic and cleverly original game modes are available. Among the more interesting challenges are ring shot, requiring players to land shots through floating rings, and mini golf, complete with banked walls and ramps. In addition to the traditional tournament, skins, and match modes, golfers can play speed golf, requiring players to finish a round of golf as quickly as possible. --Eric Twelker

Pros:

• Great variety of game modes
• High replay value
• Strong multiplayer mode for up to 4 players

• No hidden Mario Golf Kart mode (that we know of, at least)

Good
The Golfing Is Nice And Smooth In This Game And Also There Is Lots Of Playable Characters.The Golf Courses Look Very Good And Just About Everything In The Game Has Nice Things To Offer.Any N64 Owner Should Defintely Check This Game Out

Mariogolf 64 Review
This game is very entertaining for many golfers and children alike. It is a lot of fun although it is very far from reality, as in having piranha plants,chomps,etc.

Four!!!
Not that many golf games in the video game industry can actually sell very, very well. Most of them use a major player's name, and suppose to have their "skills" in the process. Not that many of them can have a strong sense of enjoyment in the golf world, where everyone wants a more serious side in the sports world with football, and basketball. However, Nintendo seemed to hit the nail on the head with their 2000 creation.

With Mario Golf, the game consists of the start of four golfers, including Baby Mario, Peach, and a couple of others. Throughout the game, you can access the Get Character mode, which can help you challenge other characters like Mario, Bowser, and Yoshi. Once you win the character, you also need them, the harder the challenger in the round. It is also important in the Tournament mode, where you can also earn enough points toward newer golf courses and challenging holes in the process. Each course reflecting on the cute, Mario Brothers themed style, which makes it appealing to all ages old and young, where the other games don't seem to have that sense of enjoyment.

Although Nintendo stopped making games for the Nintendo 64, Mario Golf is only one of the very few sports games I highly recommend for the system. Although many people might not see the review, because of the newer game system reviews and newer games of the Gamecube, Xbox, and Playstation 2. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Rush 2: Extreme Racing USA is the follow-up to the populararcade-turned-platform-game San Francisco Rush, offering the signaturerambunctious gameplay of the original with several welcomed new features. No longerlimited to zipping through the streets of San Francisco, drivers plow through expresstours of Seattle, New York (uptown and midtown), Los Angeles, Las Vegas, andHonolulu, among other tracks. An addictive new feature is a stunt track, where playersrack up points by performing spectacular jumps, in-air spins, flips, and loops. Ever seenskaters frolicking about at a skateboard park? Think bigger park with frolicking one-tonvehicles. Not the prettiest sight, but so much fun.

Obviously, this is a far cry from the traditional auto racing game. Rush 2 is anall-out, full-throttle action racer, with cars careening through shortcuts, performinggravity-defying leaps, and, occasionally, actually racing down the main track. One coolfeature (and slight annoyance): collecting keys and cans of a trademarkedhyper-caffeinated soft drink--carefully placed on the track by cunning marketingexecutives--opens new areas, offers new vehicles, and provides cheats. --EricTwelker

Pros:

• Same out-of-control fun as the original, with new enhancements
• Great offering of new tracks, cars, and secret features
• Strong multiplayer appeal

• Graphics slightly outdated
• Sound best enjoyed at an imperceptible volume

Rush 2 review
Rush 2 is extremely fun with a wide variety of levels and cars. It has great graphics for its time and allows you to go backward in the levels-a trait which other video games of its generation do not possess. It also has a very fun stunt level where you build up points for the tricks you do. Cars range from limos to concepts and hatchbacks to corvettes. Also, the level that it allows you to specify your car at is amazing. It lets you change color of the cars in a two-tone style and even lets you decide which engine suits you best. Engines in cars ranges from dinky motor- scooter sounding lego motors to formula and V8 powerplants. Speed varies and a handy "cruise control" feature allows you to propel the car without pressing the "A" button. Instead you can just move the car with the control stick.
As far as glitches and cheats are concerned-there aren't many. The game rarely freezes or goes bolistic like I'm sure all gamers have seen before. Overall I think it's a great time and a riot to play. Thanks to Midway for making another great game.

The Rush Is Back
Throughout the games of Midway's length, many of theirvideo games were straight from the arcades,whether it was Mortal Kombat, or NFL Blitz. Nevertheless it was very rare to have a video game to come straight from the shelves, that wasn't from the arcades.That answer came through with the release of Rush 2.

The 1998 video game was made exclusively for the Nintendo 64, and not upon any other console. Ironically, the prequel, San Fransisco Rush, was made on both the N64, and the Playstation. The game features many exciting and enduring automobiles through the streets of some of the biggest cities in America, including New York City, Los Angeles, and Hawaii. The game also includes the infamous Alcatraz prison, a hidden course from the previous Rush. Many fans were shocked to know why the game wasn't on any of the other consoles at the time. The sales for the Playstation version of Rush were just awful, and Midway chose to put this only on Nintendo 64.

While many people stopped purchasing Nintendo 64 games, Rush 2 remains as an absolute delight for any racer in the world. If you're looking for a reved up time, Rush 2 is that game for you.

The best Rush Game yet
I liked this game so much when I rented it I was sad to return it.This game has fun courses that have many shortcuts and jumps,and keys to find that give you more cars to pick.The course I enjoy the most is the stunt course.I got up to my top speed of my car on the course and ramped of the biggest ramp near the egde of the course and I got so high I went over the top of the wall and all of a the screen went blank and I could see my car and it was doing flips and it was going crazy,but it was giving me points,then I landed and I was driving but going no where.I kept on driving for a while and then just turned the game off.I think that was a glitch in the game.The game has good graphics and cool codes to punch in(like one of the codes makes your cars start on fire and you can still drive).This game is a Awsome race game to get.The courses shorts cut are very unique,like going down into a subway and and driving on the tracks(only downer about that is on some tracks subways come by and hit you).Awsome game to get!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...

Enjoyable
I got this game two weeks after it came out. At first i was nostalgiac of the first game, i liked the first game more. But after I got over that, i noticed how fun this game was compared to the first game. Each level was harder and more complex than the first. And even though there are only 8 levels, compared to the 10 in the first, it took me longer to beat this one. The graphics, i have to admit, were very impressive for a sixty-four bit console. The game itself was very hard and challenging, but in a good way. This was the right way to make a sequal.

Feels different from Banjo-Kazooie
Even though this is the direct sequel to the Rare 1998 classic Banjo-Kazooie, and features much of the same gameplay and similar characters, I think that it just feels like a different game. It seems almost as different from Banjo-Kazooie as Donkey Kong 64 or Conker's Bad Fur Day does. The game just emanates a completely different atmosphere. I guess it's a combination of very different music, different moves, and new characters. Kudos to Rareware on that. People usually like a game that play the same as another game but feels different. I mean, it's a different game, isn't it? Who likes a game that plays AND feels the same?

Ah well. Banjo and Kazooie's final N64 adventure takes them to the world beyond the valley in which they live in. It's a large world, larger than the cavern that Gruntilda calls her lair. The levels really aren't that much larger than the mammoth world featured in Banjo-Kazooie or even Donkey Kong 64, but it's amazing how Rare has fresh ideas even after creating over a dozen massive levels for the two aforementioned games. Ah well. The difficulty level of Banjo-Tooie seems to be tougher. It's sometimes harder to figure out what the heck to do for certain Jiggies, and there are so much more stuff to find this time around. Not only are there jiggies, but there are also: Jinjos, Cheato pages, honeycombs, and everybody's favorite notes! The massive amount of extra moves can also get overwhelming. Boss fights, which were MIA in Banjo-Kazooie are now here, and in every stage. The extra modes of play are a nice change to the typical Banjo-Kazooie formula. I haven't had a chance to play as Kazooie without Banjo, but I did get to control Mumbo. It wasn't really as I had expected, but fun nonetheless. The 1st-person shooter mode was obviously a chance to cash in on the successes of GoldenEye and Perfect Dark, but they were actually well done. The 1st-person shooter level in Mayahem Temple freaked me out, but hey. It's all about atmosphere.

Rare has always been good at having distinct "tastes" to their games. I suppose what helps them are their awesome musical staff. Although the music in Blast Corps got on the nerves of some people, it definitely added to the feel for it. The somewhat-like-variations of the Bond theme in GoldenEye gave that game a unique feel. So on and so forth. Banjo-Tooie had good music that adds to its different mood, but it just didn't feel as excellent as Rare's fantastic score for Banjo-Kazooie. Maybe that's a good thing. Having the Gobi's Desert tune stuck in your head for hours is not exactly a pleasant experience. As far as sound effects go, Banjo's deep utterance for every jump is JUST NOT RIGHT! Argh! I can't stand it. Oh well. It's a good game nonetheless.

Banjo-Tooie: Best+Most Fun Game Ever!!
They started out in Banjo-Kazooie as "not well-known and REALLY strange main charaters", but in Banjo-Tooie, that bear and bird duo really caught on as enjoyable and fun guys to have in a video-game.
Banjo, the "slightly out of it" honey bear and Kazooie, the cheeky breegull started out in their previous game having Grunty, the evil witch, as their enemy because she wants to steal Tooty, Banjo's sister, in order to get her beauty. But in Banjo-Tooie, she doesn't really want to steal anyone's beauty, she is MAD and WANTS revenge!!! Chasing through Grunty's lair learning "novice moves" from Bottles, the mole, was simply a "kindergarden" learning experience compared to the "high school" more "advanced moves" from Bottles' brother JamJars.
In Banjo-Kazooie, the good shaman Mumbo-Jumbo, assisted the bear and bird by turning them into an alligator, a pumpkin, etc., ect. But now, Humba-Wumba steps in to take his place. Mumbo still helps you in B.T., only this time, YOU control him! Navigate Mumbo around looking for things to do and your also able to almost "evaporate" enemys with your Mumbo-staff!
Earlier in this review I mentioned Bottles' brother JamJars. Drill-Sargent JamJars teaches the Banjo-Kazooie team different moves and abilities to help you defeat bosses, harmful lava, quick-sand, toxic waste, and anything else that might kill you. You also learn how to use special pads that let Banjo and Kazooie split up!
With it's great grafix, great charater cast, long game-play time and plot [it took me about two or three days worth of gameplay to win], improved plot worlds and sub-worlds, better theme music [not that B.K.'s music was bad], I rate it "THE BEST GAME EVER MADE FOR THE N64 AND BEST GAME OF ALL [the second best game is and was B.K.]." I give Banjo-Tooie 5 GOLD STARS!!! :D Great job, Rare* and Nintendo*

finally was able to rate my seller
the person that i bought my game from was very prompton my order;and even went the extra mile to try and help me rate him/her. I am very pleased with this person ,also if this person happens to read this letter, thank you again .

regular mario fans beware
i am a kid.i am small.i played this game.it was not so good.ive played better games of go fish.

Yoshi lover!
I am a big fan of Yoshi. I think he is cute(unlike most dinosaurs) and fun to play with. I really did like this game that I thought I didn't waste $20.00 on it. BUT this game could have been better.
The storyline is Baby Bowser has stolen a Super Happy Tree from the Yoshis. Now the Yoshis have to go through an adventure to rescue it. Basically you go through from pg.1-pg.6 (like a storybook) with 1 level each. Guess what, you play 6 levels to beat the game by eating 30 fruits in each level. Isn't that easy. But there are a total of ONLY 24 levels. You find other levels by getting the happy hearts you find in the level you are playing. There are only 5 bosses in the entire game who are kind of easy but baby Bowser can be hard. You can also find in the levels hidden black and white Yoshis that are better than the regular Yoshis. When you want to play a level again you go to the the Trial Mode. Throughout the game you have different items to help you. But Really, they should have put more into this game by adding a lot more levels, more goodies to earn, and maybe some minigames or multiplayer fun. The graphics in this game are not the best but hey its a storybook game so it really doesn't matter. This game is really for starters.
But overall I still had fun with this game. But hardcore gamers who are looking for a more challenging game shouldn't get this. Yoshi lovers may like this game but I don't know what your opinion of it is. Just rent it first! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Nintendo 64 owners have been patiently waiting for a decentrole-playinggame, and, at long last, one has arrived in the form of the perplexingPaperMario. World-famous video game icon Mario stars in this unconventionalRPG,which was originally announced as Super Mario RPG 2. Don't be fooled by the cutesy visual exterior of this game, which borrowsheavily from the well-established Mario universe. Yep... it's the same lovableMario who dons his familiar red overalls and unkempt moustache. However, thecatch is that Mario now stubbornly appears as a two-dimensionalcharacter--despite the largely 3-D exterior gaming environments that surroundhim. When ourflat-headed friend turns around, his paper-thin presence becomes immediatelyapparent. It's a cool gimmick, but fortunately Paper Mario is far fromacut-and-paste cartoon caper.

As with most RPG titles, players must battle with several menacing enemies asthey travel from place to place on their quest. Each encounter requires gamersto strategically choose between various modes of attack. For example, Mario isparticularly handy with the hammer--thus you might opt to select hishangover-inducing hammer attack. As the adventure progresses, additionalcharacters willjoin your quest. Your ever-growing posse gives you more fighting power, aseachteam member brings new attack moves and powers worth mastering. To advancewithin the game, you'll need to pay close attention to your health meter,enemyhit points, and your ever-expanding attack options. The game starts withenemiesthat are easy to defeat, but it quickly becomes quite difficult to survivesubsequent attacks without careful planning.

Unlike most RPG games, each attack sequence is enhanced by a special actionfunction. Instead of passively sitting back and watching each attack moveoccur,the player can enhance your attack by pressing a button or moving thedirectional controller at precisely the right time. As someone who has rackedupseveral hours (and more than a few snoozes) during repetitious RPG attacksequences, the action feature is a welcome addition to break up the monotonyofmultiple attacks.

Fans of the traditional Mario games will appreciate the return of familiarcharacters, such as Princess Peach and Luigi. Perpetual baddie Bowser evenplaysa key role in this addictive adventure. Best of all, there are plenty ofhiddenareas and extras to uncover. Paper Mario may boast elements of theclassic platform gaming genre, as well as the traditional RPG--but itultimatelycuts through all expectations to deliver an experience that appeals to bothcasual and hard-core gamers. --Brett Atwood

Pros:

• Weeks of gaming due to expansive environments
• Hidden goodies to uncover
• Classic Mario gameplay mixed with traditional RPG action

• Highly addictive (prepare to lose some sleep)
• Cartoon exterior may not appeal to some hard-core gamers

Excellent
Well, I won a free game rental at Video Plus, so I chose this game. Let me tell you, I was happy with my choice. I loved everything about it. I played for about 10 hours every day (I'm not kidding about that), and finished it before my rental period was over. I'm glad I managed that feat, because otherwise I would have wept when it was time to return it.

The worlds you'll travel to are so cool. I found myself exploring a giant toybox, a colorful garden, and a gorgeous desert palace, among many other environments. Since I didn't use a strategy guide, I was constantly wondering what would come next.

As I travelled the extensive world, I met many party members who would help me out, both in battle and in puzzles and exploration. Each partner has their own distinctive combat abilities, puzzle solving skill, and personality. For example, Watt, a sweet, good-natured sun ball that joins you in the Shy Guy Toy Box, can use electric shocks to attack in battle, and you can also use her to light up dark rooms. Parakarry, a distracted mail deliveryman, used dive-bomb attacks and could fly me across short gaps. The list goes on and on.

The combat system is a mix of action and RPG elements. You select commands from a menu to attack, but if you time your button presses carefully, you can do a lot of extra damage. Press A just as you rebound from your jump to do a double-jump; Rapidly flick the control stick to build power for a dive bomb; each attack has its own button combination, so you won't get bored.

Outside of combat, you can level up your HP and FP (FP are like MP), collect badges that make you more powerful, find Super Blocks to grant your partners new moves, and, most importantly, solve the perfectly-done puzzles. Each puzzle makes perfect sense; if you look carefully, you'll always find a way to solve it with a combination of you and your partners' abilities.

Finally, there are some little extras that can really make a difference. The graphics are bright and colorful, and look great even today; they make even minor characters memorable. There are a few sidequests, such as delivering letters and collecting Star Fragments to earn new badges. And after every world you complete, you'll get to play a short interlude where you control Princess Peach. It's these bells and whistles that really make the game unique and fun.

Buy this game immediately. It may be on a last-gen system, but the masterful gameplay and pure fun are timeless.

its good!
I like this game. Its fun some times it gets a littel borring but i reccomond it. The bake rounds are lovely and pretty and some times you get to be princess peach!

Got Cheats and Hints Here
Ok, now seriously this game is da bomb. The enviroment is great. The Mario line just keeps getting better. The game is very challenging for first timers. However, once you beat it you can beat the game in half a day.
Here are some cheats for the game:
iN tOAD tOWN AFTER YOU get the super boots in boo's mansion, go to Merlon's house and spin jump in his house 3 times. The quick change badge will fall fro the ceiling. It allows you to change party members without taking up a turn.
On Huff'N'Puff, use Bow on ultra rank and her fan smack to do ten damage. Then switch back to mario and use Star Storm from Skolar. You'll kill him in about 4-5 turns.
Do not use Chet Rippo ( the big blue dude standing next to the other Item shop. He ups one stat but lowers the other 2.
On any boss or hard to beat person, use Watt she does 5 damage for 0 FP. She breaks the defense rule.
When you have to pick what Mario hates after chapter 3 in Bowser's castle, pick Magikoopa, Koopatrol, and Hammer Bros. They give you 5-8 star points apiece.
If you need help on dry Dry Desert, go to Ign.com and type in Paper Mario. It gives you a map and tons of hints. Also it has walkthroughs and more cheats.
Theanks for reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Game...this is coming from a punk
ok farming and punk dont seem to mix qiute good, but that does not apply for this game...HM 64 is the best HM game ive played even when wonderful life came out for GC, the girls are cute, and bein freinds w/ cliff rocks, the graphics are good for an N64 game..im proud to own Harvest moon 64...and u should too

Marrige FAQ
I have been playing this game for a long time and have been trying to find all it's secrets. I think harvest moon games are some of the best games money can buy. Trust me if you buy one of these you won't be at all dissapointed. I havent been able to but i know a bit about the marrige stuff. For starters you need to see all the girls heart events of which there should be about 5. You need to give the girls stuff they like wrapped up at the supermarket. You need to have over 100,000g to marry as well and it helps if you are friendly with the girl's family. I will be adding more to this site later. Hope you like it!

Hopelessly addicting
Harvest Moon 64 is very much like Animal Crossing, which came out two years later. It's a you-either-love-it-or-you-don't game. The game reeks of repetition, but it just has that charm that keeps certain people coming at it over and over. I suppose what really determines which of the two aforementioned categories is how good you are at it. I mean, if you really suck at it, like me, you would spend all day trying to water your plants, and have no time with any interaction, which is the true heart and soul behind this game. Sure, growing crops, raising animals, and foraging are important, but if that's all you do, you're not experiencing this game to its fullest.

Harvest Moon 64 was perhaps the Nintendo 64 game with the largest amount of possible character interaction until Nintendo released Animal Forest in late 2001. There are *counts* *gives up* over 30 people in that little town, and you can speak to all of them. Some of the people are not very fun to talk to, but others provide you with some hearty conversations and long-lasting friendships, especially the five available ladies. Oh yeah. My favorites are Anne and Elli. Ahem...although Harvest Moon 64 has that dating sim aspect, the actual process of winning their hearts is a bit confusing. Perhaps I just don't understand it. Other activities fill the year, such as festivals and horse/dog races. They break the monotony and offer some welcomed changes to the gameplay. Of course, you can add to the monotony during the races by spending time betting max coins for each entry, but I guess that's your choice. The gameplay here is pretty open-ended. It's just that the days pass so fast. Even though your character looks like he should be in middle school, it is possible for you to start a family. It's too bad your son will always stay a mooch. While the monotonous gameplay would seem soporific give it a try anyways. If you're good, then you'd most likely enjoy this game. Not only that, it would also be fun to watch. That's right. It is in fact FUN to watch somebody that is good.

The graphics are nothing special. The entire game is played from a top-down perspective, and your character's movement is a bit...odd, to say the least. Because the action is seen from the angle, moving in diagnals is the way to go. The character models are actually not that bad. They have this cute, beady-eyed look that is quite adorable. The music is very nice, but it is too short and as a result loops too often. Some people faulted the game for talking only in text. But you know what? Voice acting would have ruined it. Oh yeah. This is probably the only N64 with the descriptor "Alcohol Use".

The darkest in the Zelda catalogue
If only that damn site IGN didn't take my idea first. They described this game as the Empire Strikes Back in Zelda and it's true. It's more darker, more gloomy and at times it can even be depressing. Unlike Ocarina of Time which oozed coolness and wonderment or Wind Waker which was cheery and uplifting due to its look, Majora's Mask is quite different than other installments but in no way is it bad, it's just different.

Story: I always considered this game more like an epilogue to Ocarina of Time rather than a full sequel. At the start of the game directly taking place after Ocarina, Link is in a forest and gets ambushed by Skull Kid and is turned into a Deku(they look like tiny trees with a long mouth) and enters a portal. From here Link finds himself in Termina, a land that is gonna be destroyed by a falling moon in 3 days. So it's up to Link once again to save the day using the powers of time and this weird masks.

Graphics: Reviewing this game in 2005 with such games as Metroid Prime, Halo and Metal Gear Solid 3 of course puts Majora to shame but remembering the graphics at that time, it's more of an extension of Ocarina only darker and not as vibrant. Due to maybe the Expansion Pak or just the game itself, the game does have framerate issues and some rough textures. Beware that the Gamecube re-release on the Collector's Edition sometimes freezes the game.

Gameplay: All Zelda games pretty much to this day revolved around some kind of "gimmick": in Ocarina it was time travelling, Wind Waker was controlling the wind, Minish Cap was the ability to shrink to thumbnail size and the Oracle series revolved around time travelling and season changing. Majora's Mask revolves around, yep you guessed it, masks. Link with the benefit of 24 masks(25 if you get all 24), Link can turn into different characters such as the Deku race, Goron race(big tough creatures with a taste for rocks) and the Zora race(fish people roughly). Or there's different masks like Postman, Ghost, or Bunny mask which makes him run faster.

The other aspect for the 3rd time in Zelda's history revolves around time travelling, once in Ocarina and the other in Oracle of Ages. Only this time it's different. You see the game's clock makes 3 days take about roughly 50 minutes before the moon crashes so with the Ocarina you can go back to Day 1 and start over, even make the time go slower so you have more time. This is quite annoying to say the least since your funds, arrows and bombs revert to zero if you go back to Day 1, your items are intact, your extra stuff isn't. And also you could be in the middle of a dungeon to be really close only to be on the final day and have to reset to Day 1, which incidentally cancels any progress you made in the dungeon.

Not to say the game is bad(it's just slightly hard) but it's quite enjoyable to go through, if you don't mind it's tone anyway.

very very good but,not as good as 'ocarina of time'
I played the Legend of zelda ocarina of time in 1997,WHAT A YEAR THAT WAS!!!I had so much fun!then in gameinformer magazine the new preveiws page said that there was going to be a new game called 'the legend of zelda:majora's mask'it was about link going to a new land where the moon is falling and he has only 3 days to live and on the third day link has to play the song of time so that he can go back to the first day,I HAD TO HAVE IT!but then half a year later when it came out,I was very upset because when I played it,it was too easy and I beat it in almost a week!when I played'Ocarina of time'it took me almost two YEARS!but other then that it was a fun game,Very fun in fact.I really liked that you can upgrade your sword,when in 'ocarina of time'the master sword is what you see what you get!PROS TO MAJORAS MASK:There are lots of masks that you can get and they give powers(like fast running),you can upgrade your sword twice,there are new songs for link to play on his ocarina and there is a bank so link can have alot of money!CONS:you have to play 'the song of time'way to often because the moon is falling for some reason and you have only 3 days to live,finding more then half of the masks are very hard to find,the game has only four temples and they are all very hard way too short.but all in all this game is worth around $15.00,so if you like the other Zelda games try this one too!

Diddy Kong Rocks!
This game is lots of fun after you beat the entire game you get space boards. There are also some fun codes to have lots of fun on Multi player. If you want the code it's freeforall. This game really does stand the test of time. It is like a rookie form of Mariocart, but I think that it's a better game than Mariocart.

Diddy Kong Racing
Diddy Kong Racing is the other major kart racer for the Nintendo 64. When it came out, most people were accusing Rare of copying the Mario Kart 64 formula. That may be true, but at least they made modification. For example, there is a major decrease in emphasis on items in Diddy Kong Racing. In Mario Kart 64, you need a good hold on the items to win. In Diddy Kong Racing, items are merely an afterthought. What are really important are the boosters strewn all around the levels. This creates a different racing feel that some people may like more than others. I personally feel that the karts are not as agile as they are in Mario Kart 64, and that decreases my enjoyment of the game. Ah well. The inclusion of two extra vehicle types adds a different feel to the gameplay. I didn't really like the plane, but hovercrafts rule! In a racing game, level design is just as important as the controls. The courses are nice, but a bit lacking in variety. Oh well. It was obviously a way to fit in with the five different sections in the single player mode. Gawd...the single player mode...the Silver Coin Challenges are no fair, I tell you!

As the game is less focused on the items, the battle modes are a bit drawn-out and boring. However, Fire Mountain and Smokey Castle are brilliant. In Fire Mountain, your goal is to take eggs to your nest and make sure they hatch. The game becomes frantic with the addition of the ability to steal your opponents' eggs. In Smokey Castle, you must take 10 bananas (2 at a time) to your respectable treasure chest. It's not as awesome as Fire Mountain, but it's fun just the same. Graphics are actually decent for 1997. It may not be as visually stunning as what Rare would achieve in half a year with Banjo-Kazooie, but the game looks nice nonetheless. Most early Rare games have lousy backgrounds, but DKR's backgrounds are impressive. The music is terribly catchy, and the voice samples are cute. The Silver Coin Challenge is still unfair.

A even title that can hold it's own.
Diddy Kong has a better graphics system then Mario Kart and gameplay is faster and less sluggish.Alltogether a good game to own and worth the money if under fifteen bucks. ... Read more

family fun
Our family really enjoys this game. Since it is only a 2 player game we take turns racing each other and the other takes on the winner. We also take turns racing in the circuit mode(one player) and see who can place 4th or better. As you race through the tracks you can pick up nitro's that helps you fight your way from the rear or you can pick up cash that you can later buy stuff that helps beef up your vehicle. This is a simple game to learn and play and challenging enough to keep you interested. My 7 year old enjoys it also because she can also win, so nobody dominates the game.

Very Fun Family Racing
My husband, myself and my 7 year old daughter have a blast with this. We race against each other, along with doing the one player curcuit mode and taking turns to see who can place 4th or better. It is easy enough for kids but still challenging enough to keep us big kids going. Each race is different because you can pick up nitro's to come up from behind or pick up money to boost your car better. Which makes it nice because we all have our turn in winning the game.

Cool
This game is so cool. You can run in to innocent bystaners. You can also bash into cows, chiken, sheep, ect. ......................... You can even run into the audience! ... Read more

Editorial Review

WCW/nWo Revenge improves on its predecessor, WCW vs. nWoWorld Tour, in almost every way. First, the graphics have improved so that thecharacters are very lifelike and the fights are a bit more realistic. You will also see a hugeroster of familiar faces and pay-per-view backdrops such as Starrcade, Superbrawl, andHalloween Havoc. Unfortunately, the sound has not improved, leaving you with just theoohs and ahhs of the crowd plus the WCW Nitro theme. Sorry, no commentary.

The gameplay is very similar to WCW vs. nWo World Tour except that timinghas become much more important--you don't just pound the buttons for special moves.There are several game modes, including challenges for all WCW belts (some areavailable only after you unlock them), battle royal, handicapped matches, and exhibitionmatches. Furthermore, winning belts will unlock other wrestlers such as Kidman, RowdyRoddy Piper, and Curt Hennig.

Although there is room for improvement, WCW/nWo fans will enjoyWCW/nWo Revenge. --Hugh Arnold

Pros:

• Great graphics
• Diverse roster
• Better gameplay

• Weak sound

Best Wrestling Game RIP WCW were the BIG BOYS PLAY!!!!!!!
just 1 thing wrong with this game????? for some dam reason this game when you play BATTLE ROYAL mode it kind of TAKES OVER AND PLAYS IT SELF!!!!! why does it doe this????

The best WCW game..... tho not WWF
I always hated the WCW. I was playing Warzone, Attitude and WWF titles for a long time. Then I somehow ended up owning this game and I inteneded to dissmiss it, but I found myself playing it more and more every day and eventualy loved it. I was happy to hear THQ got the rights to WWF and went from this to Wrestlmania and then the best game on the 64 NO MERCY. However, this is the foundation of where it started and I respect it for that. It brought a lot of awsome memorys and entertainment on hot summer nights. I recomend No Mercy over this, but this original version deserves your respect.

a pretty cool game
they sacrificed the create a character mode but in its place are like oodles of wrestlers.this game was made during one of wrestlings hottest eras.probably still is.so the wcw had lots o cash to hire lots o wrasslers and thats why theres zillions of them up for grabs.theres the regular wcw guys,the nwo,luchadors,ravens flock,japanese superstars,losers youve never heard of before,and every other gang from that time.the only real problem is the game is very simple to beat.now im not normaly one to complain about easy video games but this game got beat literaly in under 4 hours after i bought it on every level.its better if youre getting this for a kid i guess. ...

Editorial Review

Unlike his many 2-D platform-style shooting games of yore, Mega Man'sfirst N64 game looks similar to the 3-D style of the newer Zelda games.In fact, this basically is a port of Mega Man Legends for the PSX.

The arcade blasting has been sprinkled with a little RPG drama. Deep in thegame, there are huge areas to explore, items to discover, and people with whomto engage in somewhat childlike conversation. There's also a ton of handy-dandyweapons and moves to use against the game's bigger bosses.

Sadly, the graphics are way too PlayStation-like. The borderline-primitive leveland character designs are extremely bland, and display little attempt to makeuse of the N64's graphics power. Also, there's an occasional problem withoperating the camera to track enemies.

Mega Man 64's somewhat interesting, if goofy, story line mitigates thegame's lackluster look, but it won't satisfy gamers who are looking for deepplots or engaging characters. No, it's not the same Mega Man that many gamersknow and love; but, for video game newbies and casual game fans, that's not sucha bad thing. --Mark Brooks

Pros:

• Simple, mildly amusing gameplay
• RPG-action elements offer new spin on old character

• Substandard graphics
• Occasional camera-control issues can hamper battles
• Simple dialog seems written for 4-year-olds

Crappiest Game Ever
This game sucks. I really enjoyed the original Mega Man but this game has nothing incomin with the original. First of all the controls are terrible. U cant just turn u have to stop then turn. After awhile this gets very annoying. Second the graphics for this game are very poor. U would think that since Mega Man was gooing 3-D the graphics would be better, well your wrong. the graphics just plain suck. Last the game is really only a little fun for the first 5 minutes u play but after that its very boring. Overall this game is very bad and is not worth buying or even renting. TOTAL DISAPOINTMENT!!!!!!!!!

Be warned - this is NOT a Mega Man game
In recent years, Capcom attempted to bring their classic Mega Man franchise into the new millennium. They gave the series a complete makeover, in a number of ways, and thus, the Legends series was born. How does this, the first game in the Legends series, measure up? Read on and see.

PROS:
-IT'S A FULL 3D GAME. Many fans of the Mega Man series had long been awaiting such a game, and at long last they have one. Well, sort of.
-THERE ARE TONS OF WEAPONS AND ITEMS FOR YOU TO FIND AND USE. The island where the game takes place is filled with ruins which it will take a good deal of time to explore in their entirety.
-THE STORYLINE IS BETTER THAN SOME PEOPLE MAKE IT OUT TO BE. This is NOT really a Mega Man game, but the storyline the game has is an interesting one nonetheless.

CONS:
-THE BIGGEST CON IS THE MOST OBVIOUS ONE - IT ISN'T REALLY A MEGA MAN GAME! Capcom just used a Mega Man look for many of the characters so that they could sell more games. For shame, Capcom.
-THE GRAPHICS ARE HORRIBLE, EVEN FOR A FULL 3D GAME ORIGINALLY MADE FOR THE PLAYSTATION ONE. The characters look like they were made out of paper, and I don't mean that in a good way. The 2D Mega Man games on all other systems had graphics way better than these.
-THE CONTROLS SUCK. If you want to turn, you have to rotate the camera. This becomes extremely annoying in no time at all. There are also several other control faults.
-THE GAME LEAVES TOO MANY QUESTIONS UNANSWERED. If the series really IS somehow connected to the other Mega Man game series, the game fails to tell you how. Likewise, your character's origin is never explained.

OVERALL:
Overall this is a good game, but it wasn't really what I was hoping for. That's not to say you won't have any fun with it - I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. If you find this game in the budget bin, pick it up. It may surprise you.

This game is horrid!!!
Don't get me wrong I usually love when a 2d game goes 3d but capcom made a mistake with this one. I love when mario and sonic went into 3d and I was really excited when i saw mega man had gone 3d so i bought it. I'm still hoping they will come out with another 3d mega man butnot like this one. I like rpgs but mega should have never come one it is completely dull. So save your money and don't buy even if you are a diehard mega man fan like me. PLease listen I'm saving you from making an incredible mistake. ~DON'T BUT THIS GAME!!!~ ... Read more

Editorial Review

Every good game deserves a sequel, and the addictive, quirky Mario Party 2 certainlyfills the bill. This multiplayer party title combines the gameplay of a traditional dice-based board game withseveral brief action-game segments, including updated versions of 20 of the best offerings from the originalMario Party. There are also 44 entirely new mini-game challenges that pit players against eachother as they compete to collect the most stars.

Owners of the original Mario Party will be comfortable with this game from the get-go. Eachplayer rolls a virtual die to advance through various board games, including pirate land, western land, spaceland, mystery land, and horror land. Several hidden adventure boards can be unlocked as players advancethrough the game. Each player aims to gain the most stars and become a superstar at the end of the game.Various mini-game challenges and booby traps await gamers as they land on some strategically placedspaces on the board.

While Mario Party 2 can be played as a single-player game (against three computer opponents), thistitle really shines in social situations. This is the perfect game to pull out at parties--assuming you have afew extra controllers in the house. --Brett Atwood

Pros:

• Perfect party game (up to 4 players can play simultaneously)
• High replay value

• Solo play suffers
• Multiplayer games can take a long time to complete

Features

• Six all-new multiplayer Adventure Boards
• Special Quest Mode for players who prefer to party alone
• For up to four players
• The party continues with Mario Party 2
• 64 action-packed mini-games

My Party needs are fulfilled
After playing and completing Mario Party I needed another game to fulfil my party needs. And this was probally the best thing that I've needed ever since food. Mario Party 2 is just like the first one but with new boards, new mini-games and now there are item shops! The boards are fantastic and are very detailed, so here are the new boards to give you an idea:
Pirate Land: set on 3 islands (always fun)
Western Land: the train is for transportation (great in multiplayer)
Space Land: trigger happy Bowser (big)
Mystery Land: hard to get around (it's fun to curse your enemies)
Horror Land: day and night cycle (my personal favorite)
And there is one more secret board! But I'm not telling what it is! So if youve played the first party then this is your next step and if you haven't played the first one...well it isn't to late to start to play the series.

Another great party!
Mario Party 2 is even better than the first. Like the first, you pick a character (no new ones...) and move along the boards collecting stars. At the end of each turn, you play a minigame. There are 4 Player Minigames, 2 vs. 2 Minigames, and 1 vs. 3 Minigames. This time, there are no control stick twisting games (thank goodness!). Now you can buy items as you pass by the item shop on the board. There are a bunch of new mini-games, but some old ones. The story is that Mario and his friends are making a theme park, but they are arguing about who to name it after. So Toad suggests to play Mario Party to see who is the Superstar. Overall- a great game. I recommend it!

PAAARRRRTTTAAAYYY!!!!!!!!!!!
This game is awesome!With some minigames its a pick-up-and-play deal, and with other minigames it takes some time to master.The game boards are very interactive.There isn't much to say about this game, it just naturally rocks. ... Read more

FUN!!! ONE OF THE BEST!!!
This game is a classic that brings back memories to my brother and me and our two friends. We used to play it all the time in our summers. We would rent it every chance we got. Then I bought a gamecube and so did our friends and we never bought it. I am here about to buy it because because we all miss it very much. This game has great graphics, great music, great cars, great courses, and great control!! Buy it now! Any kid loves it!! Its fun to crash into cars on the road too!

ExcellentGame!
This is one of my favorite games. I have owned Cruis'n World for about three years now and I continue to play it religiously. It is great fun. You are able to compete on several differnt difficulty levels and perform awesome tricks and flips. Not to mention if you get enough points you can get power ups and paint jobs! Great game, I would reccomend it to anyone who likes car racing games.

The Speed Demon Lurks
Unfortunately for Nintendo, and a lot of video games in the industry, they fail to really reach the next chapter of gamers in the industry, when it comes to racing games. I often find it to be a mental block of shame. However, there are some racing games that do fit the bill with a lot of extras. With The Crus'n series for Nintendo 64, it failed the first time, crossing the U.S.A. Thankfully, the sequel was able to make the engines roar just a tad bit harder, and a little more exciting.

With Crus'n World, released in late 1998, it contains a start of 12 cars battaling through 14 outrageous courses, from England, all the way to Hawaii. That is not all, there is even more at stake when it comes to these rolls. There is also championship mode, where you can try to earn points for faster speed in the automobiles, a very special Speed Demon, and custom packaging with color designs. But it doesn't stop there. There is as usual Crus'n mode, where you can access some of the greatest courses ever, including a special course that sets you on the Moon. There is also the unbelieveable, practice mode, where you can try maxing out the time of the certain time, and gain access to hidden automobiles, 12 of them.

Unfortunately, a lot of people aren;t interested in Crus'n World anytime right now, largely because of the Gamecube and Xbox and Playstation 2 games out there. Nevertheless, if you really want the rubber to burn, give this game a try. ... Read more

Great game!!
GReAt GaME!!
From An 8 year oLd gamer: Very good Game.
If you buy it you Might
Say, " CooL! it deserves 5
Stars!" PLUS it's got a stunt course and a battle course (but for 2-4 players, or so the manual said). PLUS there's circuit race, practice, single race, a few cars to choose from, a fog feature and wind.I would recommend this to anyone.

Frantic Futuristic Fun!
THIS GAME ROCKS! I love this game-ever since I bought it. This game must have about a million pros-in fact, here is my chart.

Pros:

1. Sweet Graphics
2. Best sound for any console
3. Major awsome tracks
4. Huje jumps- for massive air (I'm talkin' hundreds of feet)
5. Many awsomley detailed futuristic cars
6. Best Gameplay for any game
7. So fun, you'll play it 24/7

Cons:

1. needs memory card in order to save

Even though there is one con-doesn't meen anything! The multiplayer mode is very excellent too! You get multiplayer:

1. Stunt mode
2. Battle
3. Single race
4. practice

and more!

Stunt:

In stunt mode, you get four tracks to do corkscrews, endoes, twists turns, flips-every trick in the world! The wing feature also allows you to glide through the air-and do major awsome stunts easier! Sweet! (available in 1player mode, also)

Battle:

In battle mode, you get 8 awsome futuristic arenas with sweet weapons:

1. CHAINGUN-Everyone's favorite, just shoot this automatic weapon and blow your opponent's head off!

2. RIFLE-This is your default weapon. It is bad, but you could give him some damage.

3. ROCKET LAUNCHER-Yeah. Shoots 20-50 rockets that could do quite some damage. Explosion sounds are awsome.

4. TORPEDO LAUNCHER-One of the best weapons. Only 3, but once fired, they follow the opponent-like, if he turns, it turns. One hit for this baby and your opponent is roadkill.

5. FASER-THINGY-I don't know what this thing is-either a plasma gun or a technical green bullet thingy or something else. It shoots green liquid-I don't know. Just play the game and you'll see.

6. MINE LAYER-Lays mines-one hit and kablamo!

7. BLAST SHOCKWAVE GUN-This thing, when you pick it up, goes on top of your car. When you fire it, it makes a shockwave (air too) that travels and knocks over or kills any car within a 20 foot radius. Pretty awsome. Cool.

8. NUCLEAR RAMMER-This weapon is hard to use-but could also be a shield and exterminates an opponent with one hit. It is like a mini-sattelite that fits in the front of your car. When you ram into someone with it, it blows them up. Also, if someone is in front of you and fires a torpedo or rocket or something, the rammer absorbs the stinking hit! (But only if in front or the direction pointed in)

I think I covered all of the weapons and here are the powers you pick up in battle mode.

WRENCH-Gives you maximum health; gives all your health back

SHIELD-Shields you for about three to five minutes

INVISIBILITY-Makes you invisible for two minutes

That's the powerups.

Now, what is good about single races is that you can customize the track-make it backwords, mirror it, increse wind, and increase amount of fog.

This game is awsome-and you must buy it. I recomend it for everyone. IT'S AWSOME! BUY IT!

Terrific futuristic speed -- and car crashes!
Although there is a better-looking version of this game on the Sega Dreamcast, this one is very, very good and holds its own.Graphics are bright and detailed, controls are crisp, and there are plenty of game modes from which to choose.My favorite is the Stunt mode, which is a zen-like exercise in launching your car into the air off of a ramp, letting it tilt turn and tumble through the air, and hoping you stick a good landing on all four wheels when the moon-like gravity finally pulls you back to earth.Your car is equipped with wings that can slow your descent, but if you use them, you lose the potential for earning big points.

As a package, SFR2049 is one of the best arcade conversions ever -- plus a lot more for the home player.The programmer, Ed Logg, is a prince of the arcades.His previous games include Asteroids, Centipede, Gauntlet, Steel Talons, Hard Drivin', and the original San Francisco Rush.I'd love to see more of this kind of work on the more recent consoles. ...

The best version of Tetris!
I love this game so much.It really added some new life into the world's favorite puzzler.I love that you can now swap a block you don't like.The graphics and sound to this day are still beautiful.I unlocked many of the backgrounds not all.I wish there was a cheat to see all the backgrounds, because some of us don't have the extra free time to get 500,000 line!

God, I love this game!
This is the main reaon I'm gonna buy a N64(and GoldenEye). Yes, I own a PS2 and a XBOX but this is one of my favorite games of all time. One downside though, it's extremely addictive. Like crack even. Well, maybe not crack but pretty addictive.

good tetris game for a console
I picked up "the new tetris" because it featured my favorate game variaton from the excellant Tetris Worlds for Game boy Advance, only this version doesn't cut off at level 15. You can play for as long as you can. The tetris game on this package is pretty much the same as the classic version, but you only get one point for each normal line cleared, but it is still a pretty good scoring system. another good thing this game features is that it tracks how long you managed to stretch a game. I've been able to stretch some games for over an hour. thats because there are a few frills added to this game that make it more interesting
one, you can take 4 identical or differant tetroids and weave them together to form a solid 4x4 square and get bonuses when you clear a line containg a portion of the square. 2, you can use the "T" shape peice to rotate into a tight place and cause all blocks to seperate and collapse. This gets you out of a tough situation, and the lines you clear during the collapse count towards your line total, however, it also cancles out any remaining bonus square sections. even after you've unlocked all the wonders, you can still get good entertainment from this game with the multiplayer. the only thing I have a problem with is the music. it's just mindless techno-music in the style of what ever world your playing in, and this game is LOUD. you always have to turn your television set down when you play this game. it would be nice if they could of put in a recording of "the dance of the suger plum fairy" (which, if you've read my review for Tetris worlds, you know is my favorite tetris song) on a celesta. ...

Editorial Review

Scientists have successfully cloned frogs and sheep, but Crave Entertainment has successfully cloned Austin Powers' personality into a colorful little gecko named Gex. First introduced in Gex: Enter the Gecko, the sophisticated lizard is back in a new adventure in which he must rescue his partner, X-Tra (Baywatch's own Marliece Andrada), from his archenemy Raz. To save his partner, Gex must complete specific missions in cheesy television worlds in order to acquire remote controls, which allow him to transport to the next television world until he meets Raz in a final showdown. Dispersed throughout the main plot are minigames to keep you on your toes, and, of course, there is Dana Gould with his witty one-liners.

Although the graphics are fairly good, there is a little jerkiness and at times depth perception is a bit tricky, making some maneuvers extremely difficult to judge. This aside, Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko is a good game, designed for the younger crowd but also fun for adults. --Hugh Arnold

Pros:

• Solid, straightforward plot
• Fun minigames
• Easy learning curve

• Graphics need some work
• Witty one-liners can get tiresome

Never boring
The game are perfect,good grafics,great costumes, and secrets chacters but first you obtain when obtaining codes of bonus,I Tell the secrets chacters they are:Alfred,CUz,and Rex,also there are other secrets,the game is awesome

"Iffy"
We bought this one on clearance.My 9 year old likes it and is good at reaching the different levels. It can be challenging.There are a few questionable sayings in some levels.Quotes are blurted out by Gexthroughout the game and some are very tacky.Most are okay and are frommovies, television shows, celebrities, etc.It would have gotten a higherrating from us if there was less "implications" throughout thegame.As for the game itself, it would probably be rated higher by peoplewho are less "sensitive" to tackiness.
