  1. Has enough substance behind the dazzle to hold off accusations of it being nothing more than a Descent clone in pretty new clothes. Forsaken 64's deathmatch mode is superb, every bit as playable as that of Rare''s Bondage festival. One of the best games of the year!
  2. Between the various multiplayer options and the great single-player mode, Forsaken 64 comes out a real winner. Save for Rare's Goldeneye 007, it easily defeats the other first-person shooters currently available for the N64.
  3. The single player mode of this puppy is a bit lacking. But if you have friends, and you all should, than this is the best party game since Wheel Of Fortune!

    A classic case of unrealized potential, Forsaken fails to make significant use of its excellent control and four-player split-screen capability by thrusting you into an endless maze of frustration.

    Fantastic game, and severely underrated. I would recommend it to anyone looking to pick up used Nintendo 64 games; it will quickly become a classic.
  2. Forsaken 64 is a very ambitious shooter that just doesn't deliver the thrills you may be looking for on the N64. While a decent game, it does nothing to really stand out on a platform with many, many great games. Collapse
