Nintendo 64 Life!

Recently my roommates and me received a Nintendo 64 with 3 games. After calming down with our dignities mostly intact we started to play. It was life changing. We were all teleported back to our childhood, which was also N64’s heyday. So I figured I’d write almost a review on the 3 games we have been playing for a while now.

The first game is Rush 2. It’s a racing game that lacks any reason. You can go off a ramp at 60, do 20 front flips land and be fine. So far this has been our favorite game. Because of the N64’s Simplicity the game itself is addicting. As far as graphics go id’ give it an 8 (out of 10). They’re not bad and you know what’s going on. The games music I would give a 10. Yes, there is just something about the poly tones of Rush 2 that get me and my roommates excited every time. As for fun level I give it a 9. Yes I know I said it’s our favorite game, but come on we only have 3 and this one is only really fun if you play with others. Overall Rating: 27/30 (Very Good Game)

The second game on our list is Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. This is a power player. This game is one of the most well know and most respected in the gaming community still to this day. AS for graphics I give it a 10. These are amazing graphics for the time of N64. Beautiful landscapes and textures were the best of its time back in the day. As for sounds it’s also a 10 the game is based around a little ocarina that you play to use magic and unlock puzzles. Why this is so cool is because you are only given 4 notes to play but the game designers made like about 20 really good songs using just those notes in different orders and at different tempos. Ok lastly fun level. This sadly is a 9, thus robbing it of a perfect score. It’s a 9 because although the game Is fun it can seem repetitive and it can get a little frustrating at times. Overall Rating: 29/30 (Must Play)

The final game on our list is 007 Goldeneye. You play as James Bond. This game is also very respected in the gaming community because it really set up how shooting games would be played from then on out. AS for graphics it’s a 9. They are very good for the time and there is a lot of detail put into the characters for the time it was made. Sounds is an 7, the classic James Bond music gets old after a short time and so does all the gunshots. But as for fun ill give it a 10. Yes, I know its not our favorite game but still it’s the best to play. This is because it actually has a really well organized story that takes you from jumping off dams to the jungles of Cuba to the frozen world of Siberia. Overall Rating: 26 (Try it out if you can!)

Well that’s all for now I hope you all enjoyed my first blog post about videogames. And feel free to post any questions or if you just want to come over and play some time.
