N64 Games

Game title Review
Super Mario 64 The first real 3D platformer for the N64 setting the standard for others to follow. Good at the time but bettered by other efforts since. 4/5
Mario Kart 64 Follow up to the original Mario Kart for the SNES, outstanding graphics, still to be bettered in a racing game, only let down by lack of play modes. 4.5/5
Lylat Wars Imaginative follow-up to Star Fox, great movie style cut scenes and intriguing story development based on your route taken. Graphics are a bit out of date, but it still remains a fresh idea 4.5/5
Goldeneye Brilliant first person shooter based on movie, lots of levels, good difficulty curve, best multiplayer on any console, slight differences between game and film story lines but what levels are in the film are startlingly similar 5/5
Diddy Kong Racing The ape co-star of Donkey Kong gets his own game, sadly all too similar to Mario Kart though, some tracks are very boring and repetetive, however adventure mode is a lasting challenge and a fresh idea. 4/5
FIFA 98 EA's annual update for football fan's. Another game that was good at the time, all the nations in the world involved as well as domestic leagues. Graphics are poor however, commentary is very basic and gameplay is slow. 3/5
FIFA 99 A huge improvement on last years effort, extra leagues, new competitions, excellent soundtrack, fast gameplay and sharper graphics as well as accurate stadia including Ibrox. 4.5/5
South Park A poor attempt to produce a Goldeneye-like game based on the hillarious TV series, graphics aren't bad, but Multiplayer is appalling, the first player storyline looks as if it's been thrown together, and it really just isn't fun to play. 2/5
Banjo- Kazooie A successful attempt from RARE to dethrone Mario as the King of platformers, some ideas are absolute rip-offs, but there are some intriguing new features that sets it apart, bright, colourful but detailed levels, a fun game-show style quiz at the end and a well produced soundtrack make this a definite Mario beater 4.5/5
Legend of Zelda Zelda makes it's first appearance on the N64, a it's a real cracker, loadsa cut scenes, exciting storyline, impressive graphics and soundtrack are just some of the great things about this RPG, see full review for more 5/5
1080 Snowboarding Wide variety of play modes, a game with lasting challenges yet simplew to pick up and play. Trick Attack is a personal favourite. 4/5
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron Making up for the failure of Shadows of the Empire, Rogue Squadron has lots of high quality speech, Hi-Res graphics, lots of large levels and a variety of different missions and spacecraft. 4.5/5
Star Wars: Episode 1 Racer Over 20 tracks over 20 racers, Hi res graphics, lasting challenge, fun to play as a one- off, all this from a 10 minute part of the film. 5/5
Donkey Kong 64 Jaw dropping graphics, large levels, five charcters to play as, a rock hard challenge, often frustrating. Multiplayer is a bit poor though. 5/5
F Zero X Lots of Play modes, lots of tracks, lots of characters and vehicles, not the greatest of graphics but that is insignificant a fun game to play. 5/5
