Quest 64

"The game that's been looked over to much"

Quest 64 is great RPG game all the way for Nintendo 64, to many crabby people that are stuck on more advanced RPG's to sit down and fairly rate this game on what it was. So I took the liberty of sitting down and rating it on a level that isn't compared to todays top games.

Graphics: To the point graphics, nothing messed up , very viewable to the eye with some good effect added in i give it a 7/10

Sound: a good beat/tempo for the ear to make you hum it when not playing the game. 8/10

Innovation: one of the key ideas about making a video game is giving the audience something new, which THQ did with the spirit system, nothing even close has been compared to this new innovation giving it a solid 10/10

Story: there wasn't much of a story, just enough information to get you to point a to point b, this game made you think. If half of you people actually listened, there was about as much story in this game as final fantasy for the NES. they gave u plain info on what's going on in the beginning, and you gained a little bit more from visiting each town. Today's games are freaking novels/cinama shows, not games, it's ridiculous. i give the story a 7.

Battle: the battle system seems to have intertwined what everybody wants in an RPG. a chance to attack without being hit again. you get a chance to run from your opponents attacks, every RPG gamer has been looking forward to this for a long time, but since it's on an N64 without todays top animated graphics and no realistic cut scenes for attacks, this was HEAVILY over looked. i give it a 10

Gameplay: i may be going out on a limb here, but when thinking of gameplay, graphics have nothing to do with it, sorry square fans i know that's what your games are all about basically, but when it comes to quest 64 it has some solid game play, easy to pick up and learn, a beginners RPG if you will. If you wanna start to become a RPG player, this is the title to get before you get spoiled with the graphics of other games. Though the camera made many people confused to the game, the 10 that was gonna be given is now a 9

Overall: overall , this is a solid title that only hardcore RPG players seem to bash. After looking at the graphics and the fact it's on another system gives them more then enough reason to bash it. and brian's little hair do is not , i repeat not a real reason, i could go on and say how the guys in final fantasy look like they just woke up , got out of bed and forgot to comb their hair, making them look like scrubs

Rentable/Buyable: this game is not a game to rent, due to the fact it's an simple RPG and would take more then the rental time to figure it out. This game is a good buy if your not already spoiled by today's high top of the line graphic

Graphics: 7
Sound: 8
Innovation: 10
Story: 7
Battle: 10
GamePlay: 9
Overall: 8
Rentable/Buyable: Maybe/Maybe
