    I enjoyed my time with Macbat 64. It is cute, short, simple, and a nice nostalgic trip back down memory lane, even if these are new yet forgettable memories.

    Macbat 64, like a few recent titles, has ventured in to revisit a time in many of our childhoods. Whilst it's not a perfect game, I will sayMacbat 64, like a few recent titles, has ventured in to revisit a time in many of our childhoods. Whilst it's not a perfect game, I will say the potential for it is absolutely incredible. They've somehow captured the feel and look of those wonderful 3D platformers that gave us endless hours of fun. I think when making a game like this, it's difficult to walk the fine line between a classic such as Banjo Kazooie and something almost unplayable such as Castlevania 64--and Macbat has managed to stay on the right side of the fence.

    The controls are brilliantly easy. It's certainly one of those games that anyone could just pick up and have a go at first time. This is especially appealing to someone with little ones--not only does it make it so you both can sit down and have fun, you're also being engaged with your kid-self, and them with good ole' fashioned interactive cartoons.

    There are a few snags in the fabric, of course. The basics are certainly there with the game play, story and level design. The cut scenes were adorable, and I couldn't get enough of the play on the word 'Kiwi' (Macbat is the sequel to a free game named Kiwi 64). It wasn't a terribly big deal, but when one shot moved to the next it would often take a few seconds of awkward lingering before moving on...which made taking the dialog seriously (Not that it's a serious story at all) a bit on the hard side. I honestly couldn't tell if this was simply a mistake made when it was being paced out, or if it's an unfortunate bug.

    There's no fatalities, no headshots... Macbat64 is honest good fun in the same way you enjoyed roaming about with a bear and a bird in his backpack once upon a time. But £5 for an hour of gameplay? That part would be left up for you to decide!    … Full Review »

    This, Macbat 64, is a really well done game that nicely captures the N64 era. It has 10 regular levels + 3 bonus ones that are unlocked after beating the main story. The levels are however very short and may take up only 5 minutes. For the price that it costs, it is not worth it I'd say. However, if you are interested in 3D platformers, you may enjoy this game even if it's not in sale.
