    It's a decent game that follows the tv show franchise, although it looks suspiciously similar to the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. The controls, layout, and even the first scene looks almost identical.

    It is not a hit but it's cool I like the way he punches his enemies.

    This game defines the very essence of Hercules and his biceps of power. Become immersed in his glutes and enjoy the adventure of his delts as you travel the lands of the most clever and creative names your mind has ever encountered. And his companions are also my favorite. If you consider yourself Hercules incarnate this game will please you.

    An unfairly treated piece of gold in the 64 library. Comparison doesn't seem like a valid form of critique - what does another game have to do with this one? The environments are lush, colourful and often mesmerizing to observe. If you allow yourself to be entertained and prevent yourself from wanting it to be something else, this is quite an enjoyable experience with just a few thingsAn unfairly treated piece of gold in the 64 library.

    Third person arcade adventure rendered tedious by its simplicity and lack of depth.

    Hercules is a great quest adventure game, but it has been dwarfed by the previous two releases of the Zelda quest series.

    This game has a lot of potential and some good ideas, but it falls short in the execution.

    This aspect aside, the game has a typical "walk about, search for keys, flip a switch, search for power-ups" feel that never seems to pull any major punches. If you've got nothing better to do, consider renting it.
