    • 79 Critic Score
    A very well executed game. Gameplay is tight, and the overall experience is a good one. However, the game is just too short.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The lack of a save feature for high scores is a disappointment, but it's still a nice addition to an arcade-lover's library.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Factor in the unexpectedly cool solo adventure, and there is no reason that any portable gamer should be without this title.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 77 Critic Score
    Anyone who is not prepared to be mercilessly challenged should avoid the purchase.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    One of the most unique puzzle designs to come along in a while. Whether you like your thinking games slow and strategic or fast and chaotic, you'll find something to enjoy with this one.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Just a simple cash-in on some old properties that are beginning to show their age.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The learning curve of this title is still a dream and the game is just as good as it always was. The new modes are icing on the vitamin.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 99 Critic Score
    You will almost never get tired of playing Conker, as there are few tedious spots in the game. BFD terrifically spoofs such movies as "The Matrix," "Saving Private Ryan," "A Clockwork Orange," "The Untouchables," "Alien," "Star Wars," "Dr. Strangelove," and more.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    To see such a cheap effort made, and to see yet another game released that truly gives kids the short end of the stick makes me feel very disappointed.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 96 Critic Score
    While said story may not live up to the expectations of most RPG fans, or fans of Super Mario RPG, it is far better and more interesting than the typical 'stories' you have to endure in a Mario game.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    A consistently excellent action/adventure with original level design and excellent visuals and audio.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    It's been a long time since I've enjoyed a video game less than this one.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    The three major knocks that I have against this game are the lack of multiplayer, relatively short game experience and a weirdo camera. Having stated that, this is still a premiere title for the 64 and there's enough here to outshine the faults.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 97 Critic Score
    If you're not into platform games, it probably won't change your religion, but I can at least guarantee you that it's got a much lower crap-fest-purchase-risk-factor than any of the shiny new PS2 games you could drop 50 bucks on.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    One of the greatest games you will find on the N64, and arguably the best wrestling game ever created.
    • 32 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Not only is it short enough to beat in a single setting, the journey along the way is a blurry, unoriginal retread of everything mediocre about 3D platformers and rhythm games.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Like a Vegas buffet, the price is right, and there's something in here for everybody.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    R2R redeems itself with the training mode but it isn't enough to save this game. PIUU!!! And I thought my feet smelled bad, this cartridge needs some Lysol!
    • 71 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    A solid effort from Rare -- but not enough to uncrown the reigning Nintendo kart champs.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Despite its simplistic origins, dull multiplayer, and audio failings, Ms. Pac-Man can be really fun. It is indeed, Maze Madness.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Simple and colorful, perfect for that rugrat who just crawled from his Fisher-Price collection to his brother's N64--but he's the only one who'll really enjoy it.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    After forcing myself to play it through, I must admit the game has some positive qualities -- just not enough to endear it to anyone over the age of 9.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Its simplified approach and cool cinematic feel of the single player mode will whisk you away in no time at all.
    • 95 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    I would trade all of the PS2 launch titles for one copy of Majora's mask. Period.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    An excruciating experience that will bear some of the most rewarding gameplay experiences ever crafted... Quest has once again pulled off another masterpiece in the flawless Ogre Battle Saga.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    You can easily play through it over a weekend. If countless bad reviews cannot dissuade you, then perhaps submerging yourself in AM: SH2's zombie-like framerate will bring you to your senses.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 89 Critic Score
    It offers a different experience than "Perfect Dark" and "TWINE" and Turok 3 is worth a look.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The variety of game modes is there, the cool Pokemon license is there, the excellent effort of NST is there, but the core of the game-- the gameplay-- just doesn't have that certain piece of magic and accessibility that separates the Tetrises from the wannabes.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Put simply, outstanding.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 98 Critic Score
    The EA sports team has put all the pieces together and created some gaming magic.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The prettiest N64 football game. It has decent gameplay and commentators that are better than average.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Frankly, I liked this game better the first time around. FD2 doesn’t have the style that the first crack at this franchise had.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Definitely pick this game up for your younger brother or sister but not for yourself because you will get rather bored of this game much quicker than your sibling.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Of course, puzzle fans, tetris players, strategists and nude twister players alike will all love Starcraft 64!
    • 97 Metascore
    • 97 Critic Score
    Absolutely brilliant.
    • 88 Metascore

    Serious air is the truth with this bad boy. You better have skipped lunch if you're going to get on this wild ride!!
    • 82 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    It's insane to think that NST made this incredibly fast gaming engine from scratch. However, much like the sexual performance of most North American males, this game is fast and exciting but it just doesn't last. I'm sorry Nintendo but three variations and three mirrored tracks doesn't constitute nine tracks in total.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    I was never a tamagotchi fan or even an RPG fan but this game actually proves to me why this genre is so involving. You really do dive into the life and mindset of the character. It's fresh, it's different and it's captivating. You'll enjoy it in a strange way. Kind of like how watching the TV show "Cops" is so strangely addictive.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    Very intriguing, but nothing new. The game is fun, but unless you have time to collect every single object in the game, it can get old fast.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 94 Critic Score
    This game plays as good as it looks. Rayman himself responds perfectly to the analogue stick and it doesn’t take very long before controlling him becomes second nature, leaving you to focus your attention on the aweinspiring graphics and infinitely interesting environments. In fact, I can say with a clear conscious that Rayman 2 is absolutely THE BEST FORCED PATH 3D PLATFORMER ON ANY SYSTEM TO DATE. PERIOD.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A polished game that is a totally new experience for N64 owners. Capcom has done a great job with this RE2 port. My greatest complaint is the abbreviated length of this title and it's PSX derived control scheme.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 98 Critic Score
    The gameplay in JFG is reminiscant of a girl that is nice most of the time, but sometimes she can be a real bitch. I believe this game is only second to Zelda64, but it is so close I sometimes waiver on which I think is better.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Lovely graphics and sound coupled with great gameplay make this the game to get.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 98 Critic Score
    If you enjoy a true challenge and great depth in your games then you'll love Mario Golf. If you are an impatient ninny that finds "San Francisco Rush" to be a rewarding challenge then please go buy something else.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Even for non-Pokémon fanatics, this game is definitely worth a look-- if only for the strange and addictive experience of an unfolding photo-safari on a videogame console.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    If you're looking to hop into an intense racing experience without the hinderances of setting the vehicle up or dealing with super accurate damage than this game is for you.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Fast paced and accessible to everyone. Nintendo of America were mad to consider not releasing this game in the US. Any doubts about it's quality should be cast out of your mind. It's fun, addictive and it's got a superb multi-player mode.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    The only action racer you'll need for your N64. Put simply, this game is so good that it deserves your money no matter what type of video game you enjoy playing.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    Do whatever you can to play this game the way it should be played : with four players! The amount of trash talking, cheating, and jinxing provided when you're playing with three other people is unbelievable. A great game that pioneers a great new genre : The Party Genre.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    It's one of those games you just buy on the name alone -- unfortunately, it's also one of those games that hold the potential to make a killing, but leave the impact of a mosquito on a windshield. It's not horrendous or even bad; just extremely disappointing in execution.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Seeds of Evil is an adrenaline thrill ride from start to finish. I strongly suggest a purchase as the multiplayer alone warrants a buy.
    • 99 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    [Review Score = 110] What's significant about this convergence of audio, graphics and gameplay is that you are COMPLETELY IMMERSED in Zelda's world. Why? Because everything is meticulously thought out. Each character and event plays a role in a storyline that sprawls like a J.R. Tolkien masterpiece...It's certainly the game of the decade.

    If you're looking for a solid game and you're a Star Wars fan, this game is probably perfect for you.

    Sure F-Zero X has 30 tracks and a random track generator, but it is lacking one thing that Wipeout has: variation. Wipeout has more variety and in some cases, better track design. All in all, Wipeout 64 offers a good balance of racing and action.

    SS SV is the most satisfying, original, funny, amazing gaming experience I've had in a long while. This game is absolutely brilliant.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    A very ambitious game and would have been a SPECTACULAR title if it was on a larger cartridge and more time was put into tweaking it. What Body Harvest does well however is setting the mood. At its best, the game makes the movie Aliens look tame.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    You'll love the speed of the play whether it's four player or single. Also there's plenty of options including an elimination death match, time trial etc. I like the fact that you have to unlock the game. It kind of keeps you interested that way.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    It has all the features you could ask for and more and the gameplay has been refined to near perfection. Then it seems, the only reason FIFA is consistently outselling ISS is the fact that EA have the FIFA license and Konami do not. Just don't let that put you off what is possibly the best soccer game on any system.

    An excellent attempt for Infogrames and I can't wait to see what they will come up with for the sequel.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    The kind of game that sends reviewers thumbing through their thesaurus in search of new words to describe its greatness. I can honestly say that it’s as true today as it was the day of release.

    The single player mode of this puppy is a bit lacking. But if you have friends, and you all should, than this is the best party game since Wheel Of Fortune!
    • 67 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    This game is a solid title. Like a Honda Civic, it doesn't do anything to blow your socks off but it doesn't dissapoint you either. It's a reliable source of FUN!!

    Where most titles stress the importance in challenge in completing a level, Yoshi's Story emphasizes challenge in exploration--something rarely done in two-dimensional games. While Yoshi's Story isn't Yoshi's Island II, it is another shining example of simple, unadulterated entertainment in gaming.
    • 88 Metascore

    With its lack of replay value and repetiveness, the game just gets really old.

    N64 is a great FPS. Its not ground-breaking, or cutting edge, just good, solid shoot’em up fun.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    I support the XG revolution. Come join at super-human speeds, inhumane weapons that go boom in the night, and the best locales this side of Jamaica and Mars put together. There's even a track that looks like Mars Attacks meets The Wizard of OZ...I'm not makin' that up either.

    It has all those essential elements that good games need, and all those elements are slightly less than perfect.

    After the smoke clears, and the nuclear radiation fades, Turok: The Dinosaur Hunter is one of the finest games in video game history. It combines every element that makes a good game flawlessly.

    Although it doesn't break any new grounds in originality (like Mario 64), Mario Kart 64 is a great addition to the N64 line-up. The solid graphics, good sound, and addictive gameplay--coupled with features like being able to race yourself (from a former race) in a special ghost mode--make you want to play it forever.

    Even four years later, the game remains a graphic marvel and is perfectly balanced in terms of gameplay.

    A great game -- a little light on action -- but nevertheless a break-through title.

    I haven't met anybody who hasn't wasted at least half an hour just running around outside the castle, sliding, jumping, stomping, diving, swimming... There are no enemies here and there's really nothing to do, but boy is it fun!

    Battleship, Connect Four, Sorry, Trouble is good for a single player fix. Battleship is fun, but the others lose the thrill of chance when the AI masterminds a close game.

    This is probably the best time-killing game to come along since "Wario Ware Inc"; even if you only use half the content on this cartridge, it's well worth the investment for the hours of entertainment it offers.

    It's tough to go up against Tetrisphere but Ocean managed to do quite a nice job of dealing with the puzzle concept. Great work.
