"SOUP!"

I recently dug out the N64 that my best mate and I used to play on religiously for about 4 years. The same copy of Goldeneye and Fifa 99, and it is still just a much fun as it was back then.

Goldeneye is still THE DADDY of first person shooters, and Fifa 99 is as good as Pro Evo 3 for its playability (not graphics though). WWF No Mercy is still the best wrestling game out there, no contest, the smackdown titles dont even come close to its prowess.

I still like my PS2 but the N64 is just, well, more fun!

No Mercy?

Someone please tell me why it is so good, then play FIRE PRO WRESTLING (the true best wrestling game ever).

Yeah, apparently management sacked one of the lead programmers, who worked on PD, because he didn't get on with the husband of a Stamper sister. Now that's what I call unfair dismissal.

Rare seem to be having internal problems at the moment. Last I heard was that the original game had been scrapped, some bits kept and was being rebuilt. It was going all cell shaded and was due for launch of Xbox Next.

We'll see.

Variety is usually a good thing.
Problem is, sometimes a poor game demands you to play through a crap section which is probably what Tribute was on about.

Perfect Dark's variety wasn't such a problem.
Infact, it meant that the gameplay stayed fresher for longer.
I found Halo's gameplay sort of samey unless you used vehicles.

Didn't spoil the game as such but it does give Perfect Dark the kudos.

It's not rubbish because of teh driving sections, but I'm just saying that a variety of gameplay isn't always a plus.

And Warthog roolz!

So Halo is rubbish because there are driving sections, then?

Games would get boring if you did exactly the same thigns oevr and over, a bit of variety is always needed.

Why do you want variety in gameplay?

If you want a different style of gameplay, get a different game, sucker

Perfect Dark is one of my all-time favourites - for both single and Multiplayer.

BTW, anyone heard anything on PD:Zero? All trace of it seemed to vanish...

I don't see what's so bad about 1-Player, I've been playing through it and, despite the ridiculous storyline, the mission objectives and the like are brilliant.
