  • Summary: Designed by the legendary John Romero, Daikatana is a first person perspective action, which takes the 3D shoot'em up genre into a new dimension.
    Players assume the role of Hiro, traveling through time with his two sidekicks, the beautiful, yet lethal Mikko and the powerful mercenary Superf    ly Johnson. The player must lead this team, interacting with them to guide them through perilous worlds, exploring vast levels that are filled with an array of intelligent enemies.
    In their quest to save history, players will journey through four different time periods, traveling from mythical Greece to a post apocalyptic San Francisco 500 years in the future. Battling over 60 different monstrous enemies with more than 30 different weapon types, breaching obstacles and unearthing secret locations.    … Expand

    Slow, sometimes sloppy control mixed with boring, uninspired level design, dumb enemies, and sleepy weaponry come together for an entirely average N64 shooter.

    I agree with Fernando F. This is one of the best games I have ever played. The gameplay, graphics and sound are simply unparalled. There may be a few hitches in the AI, but it is still the most addictive game I have ever played. Seriously, those that gave this a bad score, get a clue!… Collapse

    Listen everyone, this is the best game ever. All those freaky guys that write bad about the game, they don't know anything. I think that they are using drugs to say something like that!!… Expand

    I was looking for fun classic games and found this one. Its really hard to like the game theres few positives on it. Even the shooting is no fun because of the weapons and enemies and when you die it is by accident or by the stupid AI of your comrades. However the four totally different episodes are fun to explore for a short while.… Expand
