Editorial Review

After several years in video game retirement, Sonic the Hedgehog returns as the star of a graphically stunning 3-D adventure game that blows away every other game in the genre. Sonic is joined by five of his friends in a massive quest that spans over 50 game levels filled with remarkable visuals and a pulsating soundtrack. Taking full advantage of the unprecedented processing power of the Dreamcast, Sega's development crew, Sonic Team, has designed several gravity-defying game levels that will keep gamers hooked.

Our favorite level is Windy Valley, which requires you to survive the stormy perils of a tremendous tornado. This tyrant of nature chases you relentlessly before ultimately sucking you into the air and up through its eye. During the chase, the tornado manages to tear up just about everything on the screen. This dizzying visual spectacle moves so fast that you will literally hold on to the game controller for dear life.

Assuming you survive the tornado, there are several more challenging areas to conquer, including a level that requires you to snowboard directly in the path of a fast-approaching avalanche. During the Emerald Coast level, you will race across a precarious dock as a killer whale attacks from below, destroying the wood planks underneath your feet while you attempt to outrun the crazed creature.

We also liked the numerous mini-games scattered throughout this title. When you least expect it, Sonic Adventure tosses in some old-fashioned arcade action, such as pinball or bumper car racing. In between, you can raise virtual pets, known in the game as "Chao." These characters, which are saved using the optional Visual Memory Unit (VMU), can be combined with other Chao characters exchanged between friends or downloaded via the Internet.

Gamers looking to show off the strong processing power of the 128-bit Dreamcast will definitely want to pick up this title. Simply put, Sonic Adventure's graphics surpass those of any other game currently available on any home video game system. Let the Sonic assault begin. --Brett Atwood

Pros:

• Strong replay value
• Stunning graphics

Cons:

• May be too fast-moving for some players

Sonic Adventure is a Dreamcast classic!
Sonic Adventure is an instant Dreamcast classic that shouldn't be missed by any Dreamcast owner.The game features Sonic in full 3d with newly detailed level enviroment.This was one of the first games to launch with the Dreamcast and is still one of my favorite Dreamcast game.The game features a brand new system called the "Chao system" you basicly take care of them and show them new moves it's very simple but you'll need to have a VMU card to do it.The game features more then 5 playable characters.The story in the game is very lame if you ask me they could have done better, not to mention the english dubbing is terrible so just stick to japanes language and english subtitles.

I'll make this short and sweet for you.Sonic Adventure is the best sonic game ever and has great levels, awesome 3d levels and lots of things to do but personally I wanted to beat the storyline instead of that whole chaos thing.I'm going to make this review short and sweet...

Good
-Great Level desighn
-awesome 3d graphics of Sonic for the Dreamcast
-Lots of playable characters which is really great
-the new Chaos growing process, but I really didn't do it I just play the storyline..
-Superb fast pace action

Bad
-horrindess english dubbing
-the cutscenes look horrible even the ingameplay is better then the cutscenes
-Some really bad camera angles ruin the fast pace of this game
-I kind of wished it was a SONIC ONLY adventure...but ohwell

The ugly
-Robotnick..ehehheh

Overall Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast is an instant classic packed with full 3d enviroment and Full 3d character model and fast paced action with some really great music.Some things like camera angles ruin this game and some really bad english dubbing makes it even worse!But overall this game doesn't dissapoint Sonic fans and that is why I'm giving it a

4.2 out 5.

This is still in my opinion the best Sonic Game ever but it was ruined by some flaws...Great game overall though..

Lates

great game to just sit and play
Nice speed and gameplay overall.The only 2 cons are the camera angles and some of the enviroments aren't fully interactive.You can't enter all the buildings with each character.Even with that though it's a great game and some levels are extremely well matched with the background music "red hot mountain". I played this game for nearly three hours before realizing how long I'd been on it.Deffinetly worth the time and money to pick this one up.

Sonic Adventure definately rates Sonic's games up.
I love the story plot that this game promotes.Each character with a very deep story line.That's pretty awesome.The only problem with it is the fact that the story is never explained.It took me a while, but I began to get a good guess.I think, Tikal is dead (she might have been burnt or killed in the war when the island is on fire), and now that Eggman has her Chaos creature, her spirit's enlisting Sonic and friends to help her get him back.I think, when Tikal appears phisically, she's a ghost.If she isn't, how does she become a ball of light?Or, if she isn't, how is it she's still alive?When you see the temple, it's in ruins.But, when Tikal's spirit takes you back in time, it's so vibrant.Your guess is as good as mine, or if you might know the answer.Any way, that's where I am.But, besides that, the game is still noticibally deep.Each character has their own story, each character sees what they are meant to see out of the past, each has their own moves, and there are adventure fields too.How did they fit all they fit on one game.My friend has this game.I haven't played it recently, but I'm pretty sure I like it better then the director's cut version.Why, you ask?My opinion is, original is best.This story is probablyhow Sonic began.Maybe Tikal created all the Sonic world.Not likely, but maybe.The directior's cut version is also going to be out on PC.Boy, that would be cool.I wish I could have that, but my mom doesn't let us play games on this PC.It wrecked our last one.So, I'll have to go without.We're working on getting our dad to understand, and our mom's helping, that the old computer can't be of any more service.We should get a machine made for playing games.And, it's lookin' at a PS2.I'm okay with that,I like Crash Bandicoot the best, and all his big games can be found on PS or PS2.I have a game boy.It's been missing for a month because of 2 of my pesty little brothers and a little sister.I'm not writting a review because I bought this here.I'm writting it in the Customer review section because there wasn't a spotlight review yet. ...

a huge hit with a 7 year old fan
My son is seven and just got his first game boy system for Christmas.He received a few games with it- Madden 2004 and a Mario game.He plays the Madden game over and over.I was worried about it being too hard or that he might not think it was fun.(He tends to like racing games, and this was totally different).But I decided to give it a try since he had just had his first experience with rec league football.In his words, "It might be hard for kids under 7 years old.I like it so much that I play it everyday and every minute.My favorite part is getting a touchdown and winning.I also like the song because it is cool!"

the abyss
This was the worst sports game ive ever played.I can deal with sub-par graphics.I can deal with the fact that the plays are hard to see.But i couldnt take poor controls, the inability to save your game (not all of us are able to spend hours playing games) and the stupid create-a-player "feature",although ive never liked the unlimited attributes you can give in the pc version-kind of takes the fun out of it.i always like NHL 95 because you were limited to an over all total to give your created players.anyways if you must buy this game,buy it used then you wont be as upset when you find out how lame this is.

A good handheld football game
This is a good football game.I'll give you both the good points and the bad points.

Good Points- You can play any team, and can either go with the traditional way of controlling whoever has the ball or controlling just one player per play.Either way is fun for me.The teams are updated, and almost all roster changes have been made.You can create a player in any position, and you can trade players from one team to another.I have created a kind of "ultimate" team composed of several super-stars.

Bad Points- Graphics not as good as with a big system, but that's to be expected.The team logos aren't in the middle of the field, just the NFL logo, but their names are in the end zone.It can get a little easy once you get the hang of it, but I have yet to try the higher difficulty level, which should change that.

Overall, this is a good game.I would recommend it to anyone who likes football games. ... Read more

My favorite videogame!!!
I would like to start off saying that I am not a huge fan of videogames. I do not own an X-Box or Gamecube and find most games to be boring. However, I still have a Nintendo 64 system from back when I was younger. Out of the few games that I own, Namco Museum 64 is my favorite game. I was born back in a time when Atari was making it big and games like Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, and Dig-Dug were the hottest games around. Playing Namco Museum deffinately brings back memories. The selection of games is great. You get to choose from - Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Dig-Dug, Pole Position, Galaga, and Galaxian. All the games are exactly like they were on the Atari gamesystem. Each game is extremely fun and challenging. In fact, I would even go as far as calling this game addicting.

Nintendo 64 has pretty much become obsolete today with X-Box and Gamecube. However, if you are not into the videogames that are around today, and are longing to play games from the 80's, then you should definately buy this game.

A solid 5 stars...

namaco museum
This is a wonderful and exciteing game who would have thought that we would be playing all of our favorite games on our tv sets .
This is really awsome and so realistic.

Memory Lane
I have this game and myself, my husband and our 10 year old daughter love to play this game. Of course, my daughter is very good at it. She plays against my husband and they try to beat each other's score. Its a great family game nite game. ... Read more

Editorial Review

A 3-D action-adventure game starring everyone's favorite webhead,Spider-Man is quite a rarity--a superhero video game that's worth playing.Featuring an original story jam-packed with characters and locations from thecomics, and, more importantly, gameplay that does our hero justice, this is onetitle that won't disappoint Spidey fans.

While Spider-Man's story line (told via a slide show of comic book panels)is linear, there's great freedom of movement within the game's 3-D indoor andoutdoor environments. True to comic book form, you can climb walls and travelabout webswinging, although the former can be disorientating in terms ofpoint-of-view, and the latter is often a leap of faith, as the game's shoddygraphics (even with the optional Expansion Pak) create a restricted field ofvision. In addition to being able to do all sorts of nifty things with yourwebspinners, Spidey's superstrength, superagility, and spider-sense (for whichyou'll want a Rumble Pak to feel the patented tingle) are also accounted for. Asfor his superhuman reflexes, well, that one's really up to you. --JoeHon

Pros:

• Gameplay that actually does Spider-Man justice
• Simple in-game display; solid controls
• Lots of secrets unlock in records and gallery modes
• Kid mode simplifies controls and gameplay for younger players

• Shoddy graphics can cause Spidey to go splat
• Point-of-view can be disorienting at times
• PlayStation version features much-improved graphics and sound

Go Spidey!
I only tried this game on Ps2 but on that system it was very good.

Fun But Falls Three Too Many Web Zips behind
This game has awesome gameplay.This gets it 4 Stars.

This game has below average graphics for the N64's power. 1 1/2 Star.

The Plot Line is great and includes other marvel characters like Human Torch, Captain America, and the Punisher. 4 Stars

The Fact that I beat it 6 times in 5 days makes it run out of webs in the middle of a 100-foot off the ground web sling. 0 Stars.

Average: 2 stars

I recommend Spider-Man: The movie which is out for GCN, PS2, and The X-Box.

It passes the time... and that's all I ask
What surprised me most when I first popped this cartridge into my system and turned on the unit, was how much of a likeness that the game bore to 'Maximum Carnage,' the title that was Spider Man's foray into Sega Genesis. Although it's been awhile since I've played 'Maximum Carnage,' I distinctly remember how Spidey and Venom looked in that game, as well as how the story went. It seemed as if attempts were made to just simply adapt 'Carnage' to Nintendo 64, Sony Playstation, and Game Boy Color. The only differences I could see between the games, other than the more straight-out fighting style and lack of big name villains, was the fact that 'Carnage' was only a partially 3-D game with more of an emphasis on battling villains then on travelling throughout the three dimensional background and swinging from building to building. Even a few of the early villains look a bit similar.

What I next noticed was just how of an all-around solid game it was. I was completely enamored for the first three or four levels before I began to notice the occasional flaws and inconsistencies. The first level, just a really simple swing from building to building, is a testament to not only the beauty of the graphics, but how smooth the game runs, and just how fun it is. Even the voices of the characters were done beautifully, and original Spider Man creator Stan Lee's commentaries at the beginning of each level ('Looks like everyone's favourite wallcrawler is in a bit of trouble') was just a real cool touch.

From there though, I began to discover little things about the game that just bothered me a bit. First was the occasional glitch in the game. Although their occurences were few and far between, they did ruin the mood of the game. Most of these glitches occured while using the dome of webbing to protect Spidey. Oftentimes the webbing would just randomly float in mid-air, just sitting there. But, no biggie, no games are perfect.

Second was the weak storyline. I found it a little hard to understand what was going on throughout the game. The story just seemed to jump at random from being attacked by Rhino to fighting off symbiotes with the help of Venom. I was pretty confused at a couple points in the game, even after playing through a second and third time.

Thirdly is how easy the game was. I had the game set on easy, so I can't make any conjectures on how the medium and hard settings are, but I was finished with the game in less then a day. I rented it Wednesday morning at noon, and had it beat after only about 5 or 6 hours of playing. However, even though it was pretty easy to beat, some replay value is given in attempting to go back through the levels and collecting classic issues of 'Spider Man' comic books in hidden spots.

And finally, my last and biggest complaint is the cut scenes. Since I had seen the ending for the PSX version of the game while hanging around in 'Electronic Boutique' (some guy had no life and just had to go through and beat it all - surprisingly it only took him a half hour, because other people had already reached the point he started at), I was expecting the same thing from the Nintendo version. What was a brilliantly funny cut scene from PSX suddenly became a poorly directed slide show of the same scene with captions below the photos. And it wasn't just the ending either, every scene between levels was in the same form of a slide show with captions below the photos.

Despite my complaints, I thought that this game was actually extremely fun to play and I'd still mantain that it's a solid game - if only somewhat more solid for PSX. I still do recommend Spider Man, because if nothing else, it's just a fun game that doesn't have too hard of a learning curve, and will pass the time exceptionally well. ... Read more

When Stu gets the call to come repair the Reptar robot at EuroReptarland, an impromptu trip to Paris becomes the setting for Chuckie's search for a new mommy. Based on the feature film of the same name, Rugrats in Paris: The Movie features the characters from the TV show, including Tommy, Phil, Angelica, Kimi, and more. Your job is to explore 16 levels and try to make Chuckie's wish come true. Be on the lookout for several bonus levels along the way and minigames, such as Chuckie Chan Dojo and Reptar vs. Robosnail. ... Read more

awesome game
so many things to do, it's great.Hard to get bored b/c there are so many games to play, and different ones too.I enjoy doing puzzles too so the puzzle parts are great.

Rugrats in Paris
Is okay to play for 5 minutes but after this it is just boring

Rugrats In Paris
This game is okay but the movement is slow. In this game you cant roll run or jump. You have to collect the tickets and buy things like a reptar doll. It doesnt even help you so you shouldnt wast your tickets. Anyway the graphics arent that good and the their faces are weird. The games I reccomend are Diddy Kong Racing and Zelda. ... Read more

A Pleasent Suprise from Majesco!
I had heard about Iridion (the first) and didn't really feel like getting it. I had heard that you couldn't see where you were aiming shots and many negative things. I didn't really expect Iridion 2 to be much better...but believe me...I was wrong...
-----------------------
Storyline = 3.5/5 Aliens are invading, just like 100 years
ago. Can YOU save the world?

Graphics= 4.5/5 Very well done. Gives out a 3D feel, but
not annoyingly like Iridion 1

Interest= 3/5 This was a definate weak-spot of Iridion
2, it doesn't keep you're interest. It's
fun, but the whole type of play is the
same all game. It gets boring eventually.

Reccomend = 3.7/5 I don't think this is the best game I've
ever seen. They did the best they could,
but it's the same thing again and again.
-----------------------

Overall, this game was pretty good. But, like I said, it gets boring after awhile. It's not your average StarFox game (which are great), but it's not you're average Barney game!

Exactly what the GBA needed!
Iridion 2 is one of the best shooters I've played in some time.Although the Gradius-style endless upgrades aren't present (I'm a sucker for an inhumanly long trail of entities mimicking my movement and firing patterns, what can I say?), the system employed in I2 is very well-done.At the beginning of the level, you choose which one of six weapons you wish to use.This weapon begins at level 1 (of 3 maximum), while all the other 5 weapons begin at level "0" (must use a powerup to activate level 1 of the desired weapon.)Even at level 1, your ship always has access to a charge-up shot (double tap the firing button) which is much, much more powerful and can form combo attacks.Using a powerup on a maxed out weapon instead replenishes 50% of your ships shield bar, and since they can be saved up, work as energy tanks in times of crisis (e.g. the final boss).The only real grumble is the unbalanced nature of the weapons.While the Plasma Cannon and the Bouncing Blue Balls (read with a clean mind, I command it) are awesome in just about any level, the semi-homing green lasers are just pitiful, not to mention the 4-directional shot.This can be looked at as a way to add challenge, and I personally chose a different weapon every level to keep the game fresh.The most unnecessary addition, in my opinion, is the smartbomb, which really tones the difficulty down quite a lot.3 smartbombs can kill just about any boss, and I never really used them.

The gameplay, while fantastic, wasn't the main selling point for me.Although very well-adjusted in terms of difficulty, the music and sound were beyong top-notch.Veteran GBA composer Manfred Linzner (who, if I read the credits right, did a fair share of programming too) turns out another beautiful soundtrack, with an 80's-techno feel that just plain works with this game.The ever popular track "Cloudy Stairway" has returned from the original (easily my favorite track from I3D), and the music is just perfect for the ambience Shin'en wanted to create with this little number.The sound effects are also very well intergrated, and don't break the music (fans of NES shooters should know exactly what I'm talking about) or halt certain tracks to any noticible degree.

Finally, the challenge.It's challenging!Even on Starter Pilot (TURN AUTO-UPGRADE OFF!) the first level will probably take a life or two.The learning curve is pretty steep, with the second set of galaxies boasting a formidable challenge and the levels only picking up from there.The bosses are pretty easy, with the occaisional 3 or 4 who will get you a few times.

All in all, it's a great game with another, albeit different from the original, well-crafted faux-3D engine.The GBA continues to show us new and better ways to duplicate arcade experience, and if Iridion 2 is evident of a perminant "raising of the bar", I say bring on 3, and bring it soon!

Fantastic game!
Wow, this game is dope. Its a shoot-em-up type of game, you fly one of two future flying machines and shoot away in futuristic setting. The graphics is super awesome, best I've seen for GBA. The sound/music is great too! The control and variety of weapons is solid. The gameplay is totally awesome and fast! It feels like you are playing a REAL flying arcade shooting game, HUGE feeling from the tiny GBA, WOW! It feels 3-D even though its a 2-D game. Highly recommended! ... Read more

Warioland 4 stars Wario, the same money-mad rascal seen in many other classic handheld games. This time he's heard tales of a golden pyramid--which is enough to send the big blowhard scurrying off to the nearest jungle. He finds the place, but before he can collect his treasure he'll have to undergo a brain- and body-bending series of challenges. Four guardians stand jealously over the four sections of the pyramid. Wario will either have to defeat each guardian or activate a switch and escape before time runs out. No longer invincible, Wario will have to replenish his health meter by gathering pieces of heart. While exploring the pyramid, Wario gets flat and heavy, and undergoes other transformations. Minigames provide more diversions on the way to the final showdown with the pyramid boss. ... Read more

It's cool
Wario Land 4, in my opinion, is one of the best games for the GBA. It's way better than the Super Mario Advance games as it's a little easier and has better levels. The levels are well designed and are beautifully colored. The boss battles are a blast and the mini-games are rewarding. Playing the mini-games earns you some coins that you can use to buy gagets and goodies for the boss battles. The music is even cool in it's own unique way. This game might be a bit on the easy side but it never gets really tedious.

BEST WARIO GAME EVER!!!!!!!
This is a great game I couldnt ask for more!!!!!The graphics and sounds are great and funny too! The bosses are challenging but hey thats what make them fun and exciting.The mini games are also pretty good. I also enjoy all the different worlds and collecting the money. Overall I would reccomend this game to anyone who wants a fun time! 10/10!!

Anyone who has grown up without coming in contact with the Winnie thePooh stories likely suffers as a result a severe whimsy deficit. Whether throughthe original A.A. Milne novelsand stories, or the Walt Disneyfilm adaptations, themisadventures of Pooh, Christopher Robin, Tigger, and Piglet provide acompletely entertaining diversion from ordinary storytelling.

The story in Tigger's Honey Hunt starts with Pooh, who is planning agrand party. But he can't begin to plan the bash without knowing that he hassufficient honey for his guests to enjoy. Bouncing along in his own inimitableway, Tigger pledges to help Pooh locate enough honey pots to get the party offthe ground.

Crisp backgrounds, colorful worlds, and superb animation make this a fun rompthrough the Hundred Acre Woods. Gameplay mechanics are straightforward and aimedat the right demographic.

For anyone but kids, however, this game plays too short and doesn't have enoughindividual play modes (little kids love to play the same game over and over, soa short game doesn't matter much to the under-8 crowd). The title misses PaulWinchell's deft voice-over talent, but there's only so much data that you canfit on a Nintendo 64 cartridge.

Tigger's Honey Hunt really knows what it wants to be: a kids' game. Assuch, it succeeds in providing a darned good--if short--time. --ToddMowatt

Pros:

• Clean, crisp backgrounds; colorful worlds; and superb animation
• Straightforward gameplay mechanics aimed at younger gamers
• Fun, safe gift for young family members

• Older, experienced gamers will find the game too easy
• Paul Winchell's voice-over talent noticeably absent from the game

Too easy for a five year old
Fine for small preschoolers but much too easy for my 5 year old.He breezed through it in about 5 hrs.He is not a video game fanatic so it was surprising.After playing again with him, it is very, very easy.Once again, great starter game for very young but that's it. ...

Great for Preschoolers
I rented this game for my 4 year old son.At first he wanted to watch me play, and then he went to town and got through about three levels.This is the first time he has actually played a game like this without just watching.The "Pooh Sticks Bridge" and "Paper, scissors, stone" games on it are fun too and easy to understand.Tigger is absolutely adorable!

Football is a violent sport to begin with, but what would it be likewithout rules? The answer is Blitz 2001, a wild, arcade-stylefootball free-for-all. While the core concepts of Blitz are essentiallythe same as real football--throw and run to score touchdowns while trying toprevent your opponent from doing the same--the play here tends to get a bitdirty without details like penalties and good sportsmanship.

In Blitz, the key to stopping the pass is tackling receivers before theyever get into their routes. After a great play, celebration is over the top,with players doing cartwheels, pretending to ride horses, and shouting at thetop of their lungs. But the victimized party doesn't have to sit back and justtake it. They can pick up the celebrating player and throw him to the turf--andthen jump on top of him.

Because this is the Nintendo 64, the graphics are clear and the movement isfast, which is crucial to the success of a game like this and the main reasonwhy the Blitz series on the technically inferior PlayStation has neverquite cut it. Of course, four can play at once, which is where Blitzreally shines, and new to the game this year are some entertaining minigames.Adding to the cartoonish fun of this game, a player can literally catch onfire--like some mythological football demigod--after reeling in three balls in a rowor making three consecutive sacks. It's funny and kind of scary to see severalflaming linebackers accelerating toward the quarterback.

The one small catch to all this is that players who bought Blitz 2000will notice very few differences besides updated rosters, leaving it a dubiouspurchase for those familiar with the franchise. Those new to it, however, aresure to discover reserves of testosterone that they never thought they had.--Robb Guido

Pros:

• Playing with three other players is infinitely fun
• Includes new minigames, such as a QB challenge

• It's the same gameplay as Blitz 2000 with only minor technical improvements

A lot of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is great.I like this better than the regular football games.

A Good Game
If you're looking for a good football party game, then look no more. This is the game. It has great graphics and beleive me, it's not choppy. This game will have you entertained for hours, if you're by yourself or with friends, this is the game. If you throw the ball to the same reciever three time in a row, he'll be on fire which means that it'll take at least two guys to tackle him, and who says after you tackle the guy it's done. Ohhhh, no you can jump on the guy while he's down (which you can't do in real football) and then the tackler will say something like "squashed you like a bug" or " and stay down." So if you're struggling on trying to find any game, get this one. This is the best football game for the N64 out there!

where is the originality
How come there is no cussing in Blitz 2001, the original coin-op had cussing when certain power moves was performed.So of all the different versions out there, on what system can I possibly find the version of blitz with all the features with a few enhancments, and the cussing ... Read more

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

Bratz GBA Game
This is a great game, I dont reccommend this game for girls 8 and under,it is hard to get the hang of it, but when you do it is a fun game with different songs and dance moves ,most girls would like this game.

Bratz: The Video Game!
First of all, I bouth the PC Game.

Don't listen to the bad rewiews of thies game! This is actually, a GREAT and FUN game to play.

The people who say is boring, that is because they don't know how to play it! and don't know how to "UNLOCK" another lever!

All you need is PRACTICE! I just bouth it today at only 9.99$ in Canadian dollars plus taxes.

I didn't think it was fun at first, but then I keep on playing and playing until I have "UNLOCK" another lever!

You just need PATIENT with this game to make it FUN!

Each time you playing good and nice, you get the chance to "UNLOCK" another lever.

I bouth a used one, the person who bouth it, must returned it because she or he didn't know how to play and "UNLOCK" another level!

I did play nicely and patiently, until I have "UNLOCK" another level!

I am a HUGE Bratz fan. So I think this game is a must have!

REMEMBER YOU NEED PATIENT to make this game FUN!

Lots Of Love,
Fulliem XOXOXOXOXOXO

I can't say weather I like the game or not. You see I ordered this game back in Dec. for my child for christmas and to date It has not been shipped. I live in Canada and it does say they can only ship in Canada. I don't understan it . Three and 1/2 months and my child is still with out the game. I think she will like it when and if it ever gets here. She runs to the post office every day but no package yet. I feel that the public needs to know that you can order but you never know when you will get the game you want. ... Read more

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".

Reekin' Havoc
I'm a 27 yr old mother and I enjoyed the game. There's not much exploring in this game. You mostly walk left or right and fight whoever comes into your view. In the game Farquad's ghost has possessed some of the fairy tale creatures. You must fight each creature (at the end of the level - the boss) and make them normal again. There are 6 levels and I am working on level 3. This game is sort of easy, and not one that you will play for weeks. I believe I can have it finished today if I wanted. It's a cute game and I think it's fun. Luckily, I can pass it down to my 5 yr old when I'm done. For the money, I like to play the games for more than a couple days.

Kind Of Boring
This game plays like Streets of Rage, it is a side scroller and you just walk around fighting whomever comes at you in each level. Then you fight the Boss at the end of the level and move on ... Read more
