Video Game Reviews - 2001 [26 Jun 2008|10:32am]
Mario Kart is one of the greatest games I have ever played. The game is easy to get into. The controls are simple. The game is colorful and has a great collection of music. Each track fits the course you’re driving on. The graphics are unbelievable for a game of this type. It is original and so far it is one of the nicest games for the N64. The multi-player mode is fun and although there are some glitches it doesn’t occur very much. The tournament races themselves are easy so beginners wont have trouble getting into the game but the harder races make it fun for the advanced gamer.

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire is graphically wonderful. It is a simple game for beginners to get into. The levels are designed to fit the movie and they developers did a great job of that. The level objectives are simple but can take some time to finish. But that makes the game last longer. It is possible for the average gamer to finish the game in less that a day though. Some of the levels can be very intimidating at times. But if you really into the whole Star Wars things you should buys this game.

Star Fox is one of the best games for the N64. Its is original and it is a great sequel to the Star Fox from the SNES. The graphics are jaw dropping and kids and adults can play it. The story mode is very interesting. The story isn’t hard to follow and the controls for the games are very simple. The gamer will be able to pick up this game and be able to play it right away without fooling trying to figure out how to fire the weapons. The game is sometimes a little to hard. It will go from very easy missions to hard ones, which sort of detracts from the fun of the game. It also should have included a difficulty interface. Also the bosses are very easy to beat. Although I had a little trouble beating the final boss I beat him once I knew his moves and how to counter them. It should be able to be beat within an hour. Other then this few faults this game is quite good.

Fifa 98’ Soccer is a great sports game. I am not very fond of sports games but this game proved that maybe all sports games don’t suck. It had well updated team rosters. The edit player mode was quite fun to play around with. The game sported great graphics and simple controls. Although the AI was easy it was still quite fun. The areas were very nicely designed and looked very much like the real thing. The indoor arena as the most fun maybe because you could put the ball out of bounds with out trying. This is great game and if you like soccer this title is definitely one you should check out.

Doom 64 is a game that is quite gory. The levels are original and simple. They are sometimes too dark to see anything though. Also the enemies can be cheap at times but other then that this game is great. The music goes well with the levels. There are plenty of aliens killing weapons for you to use. Each weapon is fun to use especially the chain saw. If you’re into killing tons of mutants at once use the BFG! If one thing could be change about this game it should have included a multiplayer mode. This is great step up from Doom on the PC!

Yoshi’s Story is the most colorful game I have ever seen. The game looked pretty good before it released but when I played it I didn’t get what I expected. The levels are very easy and the objectives are too simple. Although I somewhat enjoyed playing I expected more. The Trial mode adds to some replay value. The game can easily be beaten in a half-hour by the average gamer! The graphics are also simple and the developers could have gone for a more 3-D look. The boss Baby Bowser is the easiest boss but all well.

GoldenEye 007 is the best FPS for the N64. This game is a great movie to video game. The levels are almost exactly replicated. The objectives sometimes are different from the movie but they don’t distract you. The enemy AI is excellent and the ability to change the difficulty levels is great. The controls are very nicely done and are pretty much perfect. The game is easy to get into and slowly gets harder as you beat more and more of the game. The cool thing is when you beat it you have to beat it again on a different difficulty. You also get more people to use in the multiplayer mode. The multiplayer mode is great. You can chose from levels in the game of several other levels designed for multiplayer. This is game is great and should be owned by everyone.

Beetle Adventure Racing should be one of the best games. It has original track design and the design of the cars is wonderful. The tracks are simple but get harder as you progress though the game. But the more you progress through the game the better the cars you can use. The idea of having to collect things as you go around the tracks isn’t original but in this game when you collect enough point boxes you will receive something special. The multiplayer mode is awesome and has plenty of originality. The idea of collecting different colored bugs is fun. There are power-ups there is even a box that makes you invincible. All in all this game is great but it could use some help in the replay department. Also some of the levels and the other drivers AI is easy then very hard. Other than that it is a pretty cool game!

Super Mario 64 is one of the best adventure games for the N64. It is very original. The levels have been wonderfully designed. The music is always fits the areas it is played in. The game controls are quite simple and the enemy AI is never to easy or too hard. Although there are some graphic glitches at time this doesn’t ruin the games fun. The levels are big and there are always places to explore. The levels do get tedious at times and the level goals at time are easy and then very hard which can make some gamers mad enough to shut off the system! Other then this the game is long enough with enough new things to keep the gamer going and unfortunately Bowser is too easy to beat all three time but who cares? This game is a game all Nintendoids should own!

Winback: Convert Operations is a well-designed game with few flaws. The enemy AI can be a pain is the butt at time. It will be simple AI then it will switch over to the hardest AI ever. The levels can be too long with not even save points in-between. The bosses can also be cheap at times. But usually they aren’t. It will take time to beta most of the bosses. The whole story is interesting and kept me playing the game. The selection of weapons is very limited and it should have been expanded a lot. The idea of finding your lost crew members it quite fun and its gets even better when you find one of them and they tell you there side of the story. This game is great for the people who like shooter games and convert style games.

Super Smash Bros. is a very different fighter game. It is easy to get into and the controls are great for beginners. The whole idea of pitting Nintendo’s most famous characters is great. Now we will see who is the best! The levels are easy and if they are to easy of hard the user may change the difficulty levels. The levels themselves are original and full of surprises. Each character has there own level and each character ahs their own special moves. The game has a great multiplayer mode. The game is usually very easy to beat even when on hardest setting. But there are still things to do. There are 4 hidden characters that have special ways of unlocking. This is a great game for those who want to know if Luigi is better than Mario.

Pokèmon Snap was one of the more relaxing easier games that really didn’t have a marked goal. Only to take pictures of the pokèmon n their natural state was the goal. The game was colorful and very innovative. The main objectives were simple and fun. One had to take the pictures of the pokèmon in that stage and return with pictures to be scored by Professor Oak. Sounds easy well you must get the pokèmon in the middle of the picture try to get the pokèmon with other of its kinds and many other things so your pictures will score high! This game is a must have for all you pokèfans. After you collect all the pokèmon’s pictures you will have to hunt for pokèmon signs and then you will be awarded a secret level! The graphics and controls are great!

Pokèmon Stadium is very innovative with the transfer pak and all. This transfer pak allows the player to upload data from their Gameboy pokèmon cartridges and use their own pokèmon to battle against gym leaders and other challengers. The graphics are wonderful and the pokèmon look great in 3-D. The ability to play you Gameboy on the TV is a wonderful idea and once you beat specific objective in pokèmon Stadium you will be allowed to play a even faster mode on your Gameboy. The Kids area is a little weak but the games are still fun. If your pokèmon are at the right levels you should no problems facing the Gym Leaders. With 2 transfer paks you can pit your pokèmon against your friends and see who has the better of the pokèmon in 3-D!

Donkey Kong 64 is one of Rare’s finest pieces. The game is very original. The graphics are some of the best I have ever seen on the N64. The idea of having more then 1 playable character was a very good idea. It adds to the longevity of the levels and how each character goes about solving the puzzles and whatnot in them. Although you don’t have all the characters in the beginning of the game this makes it even better because to complete the game you need to get all the characters. The level objectives are very simple at times and hard at other. The enemies are sometimes cheap but this rarely happens. Some of the mini-games are almost impossible or what it seems to beat but they can be beaten with time. The game can get tedious at times and the level objectives seem to repeat themselves from time to time. But this game is definitely an A+ graphic musical all out fun game!

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is probably one of best games I have ever played. It contains the best graphics on the N64. The music is top notch and it has very easy to learn controls. This is the kind of game you will never want to put down. You can play it and get so lost and into the game you will forget the time! The levels are huge but won’t take years to complete them. The objectives and puzzles are well thought-out. The characters are wonderfully created each with their own interesting stories. The bosses are somewhat easy and the average gamer should have no problem completing this game. It would have made it a little better if this game were a bit harder. It is sad that it took me longer to beat a slimy water creature then the almighty powerful Ganondorf! Also the camera can get annoying at times. All in all this game is a super must have for ALL gamers.

Rayman is a very simple game with some quite colorful graphics. The levels are sometime hard and sometimes they are easy so evening out the AI would have been nice. I didn’t like when I had collected like 90 gems and I was attacked and I lost all my precious gems. Those sucked so I think you should lose like 5 gems or something. Also the enemies can be real easy to defeat while other can kill you in like one shot which also sucks. The music was nice and fitted the levels it is played in. The ability to play levels over and over was cool and added to some reply value. This is really only a game for beginners not the Hardcore gamer gang.

Tony Hawks Pro Skater is the best sports game I have ever played. Maybe that is because I love to skateboard. The idea of calling it THPS wasn’t cool though. It should have been someone not as mainstream as him, and he didn’t even do the 900 his foot slipped of the board. But that’s not what I am here to write about. The game itself is a wonderful creation and the first of its kind. The controls are super easy to learn and should take beginners seconds to learn them. The amount of playable skaters is great with many familiar faces. This game isn’t to hard but it does have some frustrating spots but they can usually be defeated with some patience. Overall this is a must have for skateboarders!

Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 is a great follow up game. The graphics are even better and the controls haven’t changed very much. There are tons of more tricks and bunches of new skate spots. The developers also added the switch stance and when you’re in the switch stance you can earn even more point. The level objectives have increased by 5 to make to total 10 level objectives. Personally this is much better it makes that game last longer! The fat ass of a cop is also back with Spiderman joining him! The ability to unlock new levels is cool. I also love how you can unlock skater’s videos. The only thing I would have to complain about would be the earning cash and you have to buy tricks. Like a Madonna. What the hell that’s so stupid I wish they kept the same set-up as THPS. But other than this one problem the game is great!

Tekken 3 is one of the best fighting games I have ever played. It is a great follow up to Tekken 1 and 2. The graphics are stunning for PSX and what really impresses me is the loading times are quite short. The ability to unlock new characters adds lots of challenging fun to the game. The Survival and Tekken Force Modes are also loads of fun! The game also has difficulty setting so if you beat it easy move up a notch or two! The controls are pretty simple until you get into the really long hard combos. If you go into the training area you can practice against a still fighter or just practices your moves on a fighter who will fight back! This is must have for those who love fighting games.

Need For Speed: High Stakes is a great sequel to all of the NFS games. The game sports many well known car and even a helicopter! The new great thing is you can play as a police officer and chase down your friend. The tournament races are pretty easy but get more challenging as you progress though the game. When you get though a tournament and get a respective placing you will be awarded with cash to buy a new car and also you might unlock a car or two! The games does take a while to load but the quality of the graphics makes up for half with the sound track makes up for the other half.

Crash Bandicoot is another great platform game. The style and controls are much like Rayman’s. The graphics are nicely done and the music is never annoying. The levels are somewhat challenging but never to hard. But at some areas the game can get a little frustrating but the problems are usually overcome without any broken controllers! This game is a great game for beginners and younger players.

Crash Team Racing is another game for the younger audience but that doesn’t mean it has to be played by only them. It is a crazy wild game with many power-ups and hidden short cuts. The control is very simple and not hard to learn at all. The graphics are also pretty simple but I am not saying they are crap. The game is easy and the average gamer should be able to beat the first tournament race within 20-30 minutes. The game isn’t very original either. The power-ups are pretty much the same as Mario Kart and several other kart racing games. But this game is still fun and if you like go-kart racers you should definitely check this title out!

Spyro the Dragon is another great platform game. The game is quite an adventure with plenty of great tunes and graphics. The control is very easy to learn. The little dragonfly is a great way to keep count of the health you have remaining. The graphics could have been much improved because there are some clipping errors and some other minor but noticeable glitches. The game can get frustrating very fast which is definitely not a good thing. The save points sometimes don’t work so when you collect a lot of gems they “disappear” the next time you start up the game. The game should have added more save points in the levels. The camera can also be a pain is the ass at times. Other than these few faults this game is great. Anyone into the platform game style should rent a copy of this game before buying it.

Syphon Filter is a great shooter game. The game controls are bit awkward at first but they can be learned after a bit of practice. The graphics can be real crappy at times and seem blocky. The AI is unfair at times and the level objectives can go from easy to very hard which can hurt the beginner thoughts about this game. Other then that, the sound/music is great the weapons are great. This game should be rented before it gets bout unless you are a real hardcore “shooter” gamer!

Destruction Derby is a great car game. The ability to smash the hell out of you car is a great idea. Of course the idea in this game is to smash the other persons car without taking much damage yourself. The graphics are only mediocre though and the sounds get annoying at times. There are only 3 cars to choose from and they only change when you change the difficulty of the game. Also there are less then 10 tracks to race on so the game get repetitious fast. The enemy AI is not to hard and not too easy so this keeps the game going. The game would have been much better if it had better graphics and more tracks and more cars. But if you love smashing cars and racing cars you should definitely check this out.

Final Fantasy 7 is the first RPG game I played. It’s a good thing too because if this game hadn’t been good I would probably hate RPG’s. This game was very good at getting the player into learning how to play and RPG style game. It had simple controls and the commands could easily be understood. The graphics were ok but could have been improved a little. The CG’s on the other hand were the best I have ever seen. The developers did a great job and put them in all at the right times. They made the game much better. The story also is great. I have never heard such a story as good as this in my life. It make s want to play this game forever and never put it down. The battles were sometimes annoying though. I think you should be able to see the enemy and choose if you want to avoid them or not. The random battle idea should have been changed. The ability to switch you character set-up in the middle of the world map was also a great idea. This one of the best games I have ever played and it should definitely be one a game sitting in you Playstation right now.

Army Men: Air Attack is a great game. It is one of the many games in the Army Men series but probably one of the better. It has somewhat good graphics and great control. That doesn’t mean it is good because the loading times can take forever it seems and the enemy AI can piss you off real bad at times. Also the levels seem to repeat themselves and get boring quite fast. The difficulty changes around to much too and the level objectives can go from real easy to real hard. One good thing about this is the cooperative multiplayer mode. You can play the game with a friend to help you. So if you are a fan of the Army Men series you should probably check this one out.

Power Stone is a great arcade fighter game. It sports great graphics and fast loading times. The controls could use a little help and the AI could use a little work to. The level designs are wonderful and never get boring. The ability to collect super stones to change into super-fighter is a great idea. The game can not won easily if you don’t collect the stones. The game should have included a training mode. Sometimes on the easiest settings it is hard to beat some fighters which can upset the beginning fighter. Other than those flaws this game is a beautiful game and the sequel is even better! Definitely check this game out if you like arcade-fighting games.

Sonic Adventure is a great follow up game for all the previous Sonic games. It has extremely good CG scenes and wonderful graphics outside the CG’s. The control is very good and the music is played perfectly at the right times in the right places. The camera does get somewhat annoying at times. The difficulty isn’t too hard but hard enough where a Sonic lover will want to keep playing. The game can easily be beaten in a week with one character but of course you still have to beat it with the other 5-6 characters. This game is a game any type of gamer should check out.

Tony Hawk Pro Skater (Dreamcast) is exactly the same as the Playstation version exceppt it has better loading time and higher quality graphics. The controls are the same and it still is as good as the PS1 version if not better.

Crazy Taxi is one of the best games I have played on Dreamcast. It has a high frame rate but when there is too many things one the screen at once it will drop causing you to mess-up and even fail the level. So this could have been improved. The music on the other hand is wonderful and definitely helped me drive well. The graphic quality is great and there are only some minor glitches. The ability too smash and break things should have been added. Like it you could drive through a store that would be great. Also if you could hit people that would make the game a lot better. The controls are very easy to learn and will not be a problem. All in all this is one game you should buy for Dreamcast.

Paper Mario is another wonderful RPG. It us the 4th or 5th RPG I have ever played and I love it. The game style is wonderful and the controls were very easy to learn. The ability to see the enemy and choose if you want to fight them or not was a great choice by the developers. The game is quite easy to play and the story to go with it is great. The developers didn’t stray from the main Mario games theme. Bowser gets to steal the princess, Mario goes to save her and he does end of story. Well I guess it’s not too bad but maybe they could have changed some things around. The game is definitely a step in the right direction for making RPG’s on the N64. Over all this game could have been make a little bit more difficult but other than this it is a great game for those first time RPG game players!!

Pokèmon Yellow, Red, Blue is a huge and very successful masterpiece that millions of people have bought. This game has you start off with one of three pokèmon. You can either pick a fire type, water or grass. You should pick grass for and easier game and fire for a more challenging. The story is very understandable and has the game deep in within minutes. The graphics are nicely done and the music is well fit. The whole idea of collecting these creatures is great and will make the game play long and interesting. While playing the game you have to watch out for the evil TEAM ROCKET! They will try an do everything to stop you from getting your badges. You are awarded badges for defeating each GYM leader in each city you visit. Each GYM leader has a special type of pokèmon so it to your advantage to build up teams that can defeat theirs. When you beat all the leaders you will be allowed to compete against the Ultra-trainers, the ELITE FOUR! Along the way you will meet up with you arch rival, your cousin and you will have to fight him several times. Overall this is one hell of a game and if you like small creatures, collecting them and battling them this game is for YOU!!!!

Tekken Tag Tournament is probably the best fighting game I have ever played. It has the best graphics, best controls, best game-play modes and best selection of fighters. The Tekken Bowling mode is the greatest idea! The loading times are quite short and the graphics are almost human like. The beginning CG is quite breathtaking and I can’t believe it only CG. The training mode is a lot of fun and a good time to practice combos and such. The end scenes are also insanely good. This is a must have for all fighting game lovers.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is one of the most graphically advanced games I have ever seen on the N64. It has the most beautiful graphics and sound. The music is so wonderful and it never could be overplayed. The levels can get frustrating though. The difficulty goes up and down so that gets annoying. The game can also get very confusing and the whole game can seem like it will never end. There are too many objectives and not enough time. The bosses are usually easy but sometimes they can be a real pain in the ass.

Gran Turismo 2 is probably the best car racing SIM game for the Playstation. It sports the most highly detailed car and the most accurate control system. It closely replicates what the real car feels like. You can buy anything from a Toyota Corolla to a pimped out Honda Civic. The races are challenging enough to keep you interested and when each race is won you will be awarded a new car. The multiplayer options are also quite fun. It lots of fun to race you friends to see who has the better cars. The length of the game is plenty long and the Endurance races will have you going for hours on end. Overall this game definitely receives and 10 and 5 ultra-huge stars!!!!
