    Fantastic game, and severely underrated. I would recommend it to anyone looking to pick up used Nintendo 64 games; it will quickly become a classic.

    Unique and has cool mechanics, still one of the games from the golden age of shooters.

    Although sharing the same mechanics as the Playstation version, Forsaken 64 is more of an arcade-style deathmatch shoot 'em up than the Descent-alike exploration of the original. I personally prefer the extra depth of the PS1 version but I can see why others would disagree. They are different, but both are great.

  1. Forsaken 64 has it all, baby. The game's four player deathmatch could very well be a replacement for those who have overplayed "Goldeneye 007's" multiplayer.
  2. Has enough substance behind the dazzle to hold off accusations of it being nothing more than a Descent clone in pretty new clothes. Forsaken 64's deathmatch mode is superb, every bit as playable as that of Rare''s Bondage festival. One of the best games of the year!
  3. One of the N64's elite titles. On a side note, if you ever want to lose your lunch, put this game in 3rd person view.My stomach churns at the mere thought of it... *sigh*
