Breath of Fire III for PlayStation 1: breat of fire

Wed, 15 Mar 2000 00:54:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iiijay - BOF3's FunFactor is high as the story gives a solid background to your adventures and battles. The battles are well done but not revolutionary though. The Fishing Game gets more fun as you progress on it from fishing spot to fishing spot. Exploration is...

Mario Kart for Nintendo 64: yoshi

Sat, 11 Mar 2000 11:38:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iiijay - Yoshi's Story. At first glance, it looks like just an other ordinary, 2-D, action game. It isn't. Six little dinosaurs that are marooned on an island all by themselves, an island that has been turned into a story book by baby Bowser. Well, the plot is...

Rampage: World Tour for Nintendo 64: rampage

Sat, 11 Mar 2000 11:33:41 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author iiijay - Rampage: World Tour looks terrible from advertisements, but this game can be a lot of fun. Even if it gets boring after a while, for the first 20 levels this game gets pretty enjoyable. With over 100 levels and some bonus levels, this game will keep you...

Pokemon Snap for Nintendo 64: pokemon snap

Sat, 11 Mar 2000 11:30:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iiijay - The newest game out there. There was not another game like

it ever made in gaming history! The point of the game is to

catch all the Pokemon on film. There are a total of six level

in the hole game. But the levels are kind long so...

Glover for Nintendo 64: glover

Sat, 11 Mar 2000 11:28:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author iiijay - A weird idea but really original: a glove who has to guide balls

that are actually crystals through some of the weirdest levels

ever. Why would you say? All right, sit back and enjoy the story.....

Some day in some country far far away...

Virtua Fighter 3tb for Dreamcast: Best 2d fighter

Wed, 8 Mar 2000 17:31:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iiijay - When Virtua Fighter 3tb arrived in arcades a couple years ago it was one of Sega's best titles to date. Today with the use of breathtaking graphics, mile-long move lists, and beautiful coed combatants many gamers see Virtua Fighter 3tb as a title with no...

Toy Commander for Dreamcast: toy commander

Wed, 8 Mar 2000 17:29:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author iiijay - Where to start? This game is so very different from all the others. Instead of giving you a list of mission objectives that you need to complete before you can beat a level, it gives you one thing that needs to be accomplished, and a certain time limit...

Soul Calibur for Dreamcast: Best 3d Fighting

Wed, 8 Mar 2000 17:28:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iiijay - To be perfectly honest - I've never liked beat 'em ups. I always found them.lacking. There was never enough to do, there was never enough to see, there was never enough to properly sink my teeth into, in other words - there was never any meat on the...

Pilotwings for Nintendo 64: pilot wing

Sat, 4 Mar 2000 13:31:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iiijay - Pilotwings 64 is a solid game, but it's a game that may not be for everyone. It tries to mix arcade style goals with simulation style control. The product of these conflicting styles is a fun game -- if you're a fan of flight sims. If you were expecting...

Killer Instinct Gold for Nintendo 64: killer instinct

Sat, 4 Mar 2000 13:29:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iiijay - OK, I'll get it out of the way, right off the bat: I suck at 2-D fighters. I have never been able to win at one using anything but sheer luck, executed by furiously mashing the buttons. All the talk of "Auto Doubles" and "Combos" gave...

Golden Eye 007 for Nintendo 64: golden eye

Sat, 4 Mar 2000 13:28:06 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author iiijay - Despite what you may have read, Goldeneye is a first-person shooter, not a spy simulation. Although there are occasional spy-like elements and the occasional pressing of a button in front of a computer to download data, 99% of Goldeneye's gameplay...

Doom for Nintendo 64: doom 64

Sat, 4 Mar 2000 13:26:41 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author iiijay - Doom is several years old now, and if you're reading this, then chances are you've tried it at one time or another. I never really got into the PC versions of Doom. If I didn't get bored by them, the fast moving, pixely graphics gave me motion sickness...

Diddy Kong Racing for Nintendo 64: similar to mario kart

Sat, 4 Mar 2000 13:25:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iiijay - Diddy Kong Racing (DKR) is Nintendo's big holiday title. That's actually quite surprising, since it was developed by Rare. It's also surprising because DKR has little of the innovation that made Mario 64 the must-have game of last Christmas season. DKR...

Dark Rift for Nintendo 64: dark rift

Sat, 4 Mar 2000 13:24:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iiijay - After War Gods, I wasn't expecting much from Dark Rift. I'm glad to say that Dark Rift was not what I expected.

As soon as gameplay begins, it's made loud and clear that this game has more in common with Virtua Fighter, Tekken and Toshinden...

Clayfighter 63 1/3 for Nintendo 64: clay fighter

Sat, 4 Mar 2000 13:22:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author iiijay - I remember the original Clay Fighter pretty well. The vocals on the title screen were a first, and I fondly recall messing with the buttons to see if I could get the blob to execute all of the different morphing moves. With these pleasant memories in...

Banjo Kazzoie for Nintendo 64: banjo kazooie

Sat, 4 Mar 2000 13:20:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iiijay - Ever since Donkey Kong Country for the SNES, Rare has been known for taking existing game genres and making them look and sound like something new. Killer Instinct was a visually improved 2D fighting game. Diddy Kong Racing was a modified Mario Kart...

Civilization II for PlayStation 1: civilization

Sat, 26 Feb 2000 14:00:42 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author iiijay - It seems that Civilization 2 is one of those games that you either love or hate. I fall into the latter.

Since this was my first time playing this game I wasn't really sure what to expect. What I did find was slow turn based gameplay (which I'm not...

WWF Warzone for PlayStation 1: war zone

Sat, 26 Feb 2000 13:59:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iiijay - This is one of the good ones. As far as this genre goes of course. Warzone gives us a ton of wrestlers. From Kane to Stone Cold and Gold Dust to Mankind, they're all here. When you've had enough of them, the create a wrestler option will lend a hand. The...

Syphon Filter for PlayStation 1: better then MGS>?

Sat, 26 Feb 2000 13:57:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iiijay - Comparing it to Metal Gear Solid wouldn't be fair. Konami's classic just simply outperforms Syphon Filter. It's not that this is a horrible game. Just not a great one.

The story is a mix of classic conspiracy and covert op with a few good plot...

Crash Bandicoot 3 : Warped for PlayStation 1: crash bandicoot

Sat, 26 Feb 2000 13:55:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iiijay - Well, Sony has managed yet another sequel. Far form being tedious, they've once again added new moves and goals to keep the old-hands happy. However, finishing this one perfectly is a lot harder than finishing Crash 1 and 2, so be prepared to come online...

Jet Moto for PlayStation 1: jet moto

Sat, 26 Feb 2000 13:54:13 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author iiijay - To the lawn-mower sound of your hover-craft/jet-ski, this game takes you through a neat set of levels, form the west coast to the Louisiana swamps. The graphics are a little two dimensional but colorful and quick. Either way, you won't have much time to...

Gran Turismo 1 for PlayStation 1: best racing game

Sat, 26 Feb 2000 13:52:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author iiijay - Gran Turismo has it all. It truly is that simple. 166 cars to choose from, good selection of tracks, and true physics put this game at the top of its class. The graphics are fantastic and the control is dead-on. The arcade mode allows you to plunge right...

Dino Crisis for PlayStation 1: dino crisis

Sat, 26 Feb 2000 13:50:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iiijay - Okay, so being trapped on a remote island filled with dinosaurs isn't very original. And neither is this game, but it's still a lot of fun! I was glued to this past midnight for days until I beat it. I suppose the different outfits supplied to you and...

WWF: WrestleMania 2000 for Nintendo 64: Best Wrestling Game Ever

Wed, 23 Feb 2000 13:54:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author iiijay - Very good game but there's no blood and the computer can reverse when ever it wants. Usually in a cage match just after you've 'special' them. But this game is totally kicks ass over any other wrestling game, could be a lot better if THQ hired me to make...

Sonic Adventure for Dreamcast: sonic

Sun, 20 Feb 2000 22:19:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iiijay - Sonic Adventure is an amazing piece of coding. From the opening CG to the lush beautiful in-game graphics to the ending sequence, everything in this game screams "next generation" except the camera and collision detection problems. You have...
