"Not too bad"
The reason I gave this game a 6 is because it's not the best fighting game but it's not the worst. After you get used to it, it's not that bad.
Gameplay: 4/10
War Gods' gameplay isn’t that good. To jump you press up. Each character has his or her, own different moves, but it's hard to find out what those moves are, and so the gameplay pretty much sucks.
Graphics: 3/10
How could this game be on the Nintendo 64 with such sucky graphics? The graphics suck about as much as the gameplay. These graphics are some of the worst graphics I've ever seen in a fighting game. Nintendo 64 could've produced graphics such as the ones in Mortal Kombat 4, Fighters Destiny, or Super Smash Brothers. Honestly, these graphics are fit to be on Gameboy Advance.
Sound: 6/10
In this game you can hardly hear what the fighters are saying. But the sound effects are still cool. Like when one of the characters shoot skull bats at you and you can hear them eating you and making chirpy noises. Also, when Anubis swings his sword, you hear a whoosh sound, that's about one of the only good things about the game.
Replay Value: 6/10
Okay, so if I was in an asylum in a padded room and all the guards gave me to entertain myself was a television, a Nintendo 64, and War Gods, would I play it? Or go clinically insane because that's all they gave me? Sure, I would play it, but I would go clinically insane after 10 minutes from the frustration.
Game Value: 4/10
I bought War Gods used for $5.45. I've seen games on NES used for 3 times the price of that... and I've also seen used games on Game Boy for 6 times the price of War Gods. Still, I'm glad it was at least unbelievably cheap :)
Better Fighting Games:
Mortal Kombat Series, Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Melee, Bloody Roar Series, Virtua Fighter Series, Fighters Destiny, Fighters Destiny 2, Street Fighter Series, X-Men Fighting Series, World Wrestling Federation Series, World Championship Wrestling Series, Extreme Championship Wrestling Series, Dark Rift, Dual Heroes, Dead or Alive Series, Tekken Series, Ultimate Fighting Champion Series, Knockout Kings Series 2002
Overall: 6/10
Altogether this game is okay. There are a lot of glitches, when I say a lot I mean a lot. But still, like I said it's not the worst fighting game, but it still is close to it.
