Playing this with my son, we are both having a good time. I played the arcade game, which has a similar feel but this game is smoother and better looking. I'm a fan. 5 stars!
Played this game with @danioverhere as past of the Sunday Stream. It was a lot of fun! I ended up buying it right after and you get a lot for the cheap price of the game. Highly recommend it!
This game is awesome. This gets back my nostalgia feels by choosing what modes you want to play and customize your map selection from all the different past halo games! Halo 3 and Reach Team SWAT! Yep!
I haven't played it personally but watching fingernailless @dorsalfin play this. It's incredible. The graphics and details are fun to watch, and it looks and feels like I'm sitting shotgun.
Other than a money grab on nostalgia, I am not sure why this game was made. Don’t get me wrong, I liked it, and found it really fun, but why?!?!? I had too high of hopes that the game would be similar to the original and more like a remake with swapping Craig for Brosnan. It wasn’t. It was completely fresh. It was both fun and disappointing. It would be four stars, if it were called “Brand New 007 Game”, but calling it “Goldeneye” … nah. 3-stars!
This game got me through many university lectures. The puzzle and dance of a stick man jumping off the balls, trying not to get shot. What is not to love? 5-stars!
Update: It lost one star because trying to play it 12 years later, wasn't incredibly fun.
That challenge was really hard. I didn’t care for the gameplay and I’m grading it against other 8-bit style games. I love the amount of skill required to play it well, but not my style of game.
I really want to like this more and will eventually give it a fair shot. I bought the game and played a handful of rounds and couldn't get into it. I love golf games and I love Mario. However, this game was a bit underwhelming.
This is a game that was so much better in my memories than it actually was. I didn't own it and always wanted it. When I finally got it as an adult, I was a bit underwhelmed. Not by the 8-bit graphics, but just the game, in general, was not as great as my memories. Five stars from memories, but loses a star by replayablity.
Tried this after playing Splatoon 3. It plays very similarly, and I'm not seeing a whole lot of difference this far. The main thing is the multiplayer modes, but I'm a simple man and like plain Turf War. This rating might change after playing Splatoon 2 and 3 more.
I love battle royale games and this is the pinnacle of that. I just can’t get used to this game. This rating may go up the more I play it but I’ve given up on it once already. My rating is based on the respect I have for it, in what it started with free to play and battle royales
This game got me through many a boring class lectures in university. Super laser eyed monkeys shooting helium balloons. This is the only defense tower game that I’ve played and it was a blast!
This was my pick for a game to dive into after I got frustrated with Fortnite builds (before no builds was a play mode). In comparison to Fortnite, I loved this game. Only stopped playing due to getting busy... like every other game I have loved haha.
Played this in a sampler and then later went and bought the game. I just remember my parents not liking it, but I felt like a rebel biking and beating people with weapons.
This is a classic. One I only started playing as an adult though, but it was still a really great game. I liked the weapon upgrades and the two player team play. Really fun game. 5 stars!
I didn't play this much, but I loved when I could play it at my cousin's house, or even watch him play it. I loved the graphics, the planning and the cheat codes.
This was the best pinball game ever created. @blockmamba said it was the second best, he was almost right. There were lots of tables to choose from. The tables had great graphics (for the time) and great mini-games, settings and targets as you banked more points.
A slick arcade racing game. Got lots of gameplay on the N64 too. I dropped it a star because I can't remember one track, just the gameplay itself. It makes me think they were forgettable, but maybe it should mean I'm getting old.
This rating is only after 10 hours of gameplay. This may change after more playtime. I'm loving this game, and so are my kids. It's such a silly and fast-paced game. I don't have all the weapons or game modes yet, but the modes I have and weapons I have are making this game a lot of fun!
I've never played a phone game in this vein before. I assumed they were very simple and for grandma's, but the reflexes and brain processing ability to be good at this game is insane. I suck at it, but it's still fun.
My wife loves this game maybe more than mariokart. It was her go to game when she wanted to play a game with just the two of us. I enjoyed it, but not Mario kart level by any means.
Dangit. This game was fun. It's funny to think of a bunch of kids sitting around playing this game late into the night, but it was challenging and we thought the graphics were awesome.
I didn't think poker without real money would be competitive or fun. When you get to the higher levels of this game, people are skilled, have played a ton, and actually care about their "fake money" and how much they accumulate. Really smooth game.
I bought this game for myself and my dad one Christmas, so that we could play it together. I found myself thinking that I'd always have to go easy on him to have him not lose interest, but my dad started playing it every night on his 360. I'd hop on to play with him, and he'd blow me away. This games ability to hook my dad who only played NES with us a handful of time. Makes it 5 stars. That and Bingo, Bango, Bongo with friends when we would have meet ups.
For my 50,000 xp season 2 review, I have to go with this old game that I was glad I remembered and requested. I’m this game, you would go through a maze while answering incredible trivia from anywhere in an encyclopedia. It was made for kids, so it wasn’t incredibly hard, but I loved it.
I’m so mixed about this game. It was fun and silly and everyone had such a good time when we had it out. On the other hand, we only used it like 3-4 times, because you need a certain situation and guests. I hate to go three stars to balance those two factors.
This was a game changer. Arkham Asylum and City were the only two from the series I owned. I loved gritty and dark theme of the game. The fighting mechanics were impressive to watch too.
This is the only fighting game I’ve ever owned and played (besides mortal combat at one party in gr 2). I was never great, but my go to characters were E. Honda, Blanca and Dhalsim. It was fun and smooth! 5 Stars!
Fun game that as a kid I never could get the hang of to be decent at. My brother in law loved this game and I'd watch him play it, and thought it looked super cool. For the coolness factor and not the difficulty factor, it gets 4 stars!
This game is way more challenging than I remember it being, but still a great game. The problem is that there are plenty of SNES games I'd like to go back and play with friends, but this isn't one of them. So I drop it a star.
I only played this as an adult when I had retro games nights with friends. They all knew and wanted to play this, and it was a blast. I loved n64 smash bros, so this was a ton of fun.
I sold this game because it was worth a bit of money, but now regret not having it in my collection. It's actually incredible, and I'm annoyed at myself for not playing it more.
I am annoyed at myself that I stopped playing this halfway through. It is such a beautiful and fun game. I don't play many RPG's, but this one really grabbed my attention. It is on my list of games to go back and finish. It is just too dang good not to.
Great game . Played it a ton, but never owned it until I was an adult. I'm not a die-hard Smash guy, so this was the right amount of competitiveness for me!
This is a fun game that I started playing after watching @ohtwotwo's stream. I really like it, but not enough for five stars. Sorry Fall boys and girls.
I don't want to face the wrath of the golden boys and girls, but this is a better game than Goldeneye. It came out after and it even had a blue cartridge. The multiplayer was better and so was the campaign. I'm not sure why this game wasn't more popular.
I really liked this game. I remember thinking how cool the disguises were and the cool gadgets. I haven't played it in years, but I remember liking playing the campaign more than Goldeneye
I own it because my kids were really into mickey for a solid year. I tried to get them to play it, but I can't blame them for not loving the game. It's a lesser Mario Kart clone. I still like the racing, but it ain't MK.
I played this, but it wasn't until I played Halo 2 that I was hooked. It was a fun game I enjoyed for the multiplayer, but I wasn't in love with the campaign.
I second @bitzdad, we tried a few games out before we found this one was the perfect game for my 4 and 6-year-old. The three of us could play together, and no one felt left out, or like they didn't matter. The beating levels was just challenging enough that it was a celebration when it was over.
It probably deserves 5 stars for what it has done in creating a whole Mario Party category and all the games that focus on silly mini-games. However, when I compare it to MP 2 and MP 3, it isn't as good.
When I think Sonic, I think Sonic the Hedgehog 2. This is and was a great game. I don't remember Sonic one as much, but I just remember the excitement of going to my older cousin's house to play this game. It was hard, but not impossible.
I want to give it 5 stars because getting an N64 pokemon game is awesome and getting to fight in 3D, but I didn't get the same excitement going to my friend's house to play it, as I did playing other multiplayer games.
The original infinity. Like I said in my review of 2.0. I'm a Disney infinity nerd. I loved playing these with my nephews and niece 10 or more years ago, and I still love to play with my kids now. It is a money grab, and the online servers have been removed (which sucks), but I really loved tons about this game.
I'm a Disney infinity sucker. I bought new or used (bundles or individual) characters and discs. And I don't think I regret it. This game got tons of gameplay with my nephews and niece online when it first came out, and now 10 or more years later my kids still love to play it. It helps that we likely own 50 characters and have tons of discs. I just wish Disney didn't remove the online server component to this game. Downloading creators' maps was one of the best parts of this game.
My kids and I still play Infinity 2.0 and 3.0. I hate that Disney took down the server, and that removed a whole aspect of the game that was incredible, but it is still a solid game. The many different game modes (some of which you'd pay for), and the reverse compatible characters. It is still a top 6 game for my kids.
This game was amazing when it first came out. I'm rating this based on my memories of playing it in the basement at my grandparent's house. I had to go and watch some gameplay to see how terrible the graphics were. I actually think they are good for a SNES game. 5 stars!
If you know the maps, this is five stars. My experience with it is probably 4 stars, but I don't think a person who doesn't know the map is the demographic for it.
I'm a Rare fanboy (pre - Microsoft to be clear). This game was fun and cooky and it was really cool seeing diddy kong racing characters getting their own solo games.
This is a game that I've searched too long to find for a decent price that I might end up caving and buying it online. I loved Banjo Tooie. It is even better than Kazooie (which is a hard feat), and it is pure Rare goodness.
I like F-Zero, but couldn't get into this game. It's probably that I played F-Zero as a kid and the GameCube's F-Zero as an adult. When I played F-Zero X for the first time, it was after playing both of these, and it felt off for me. I would give it 2.5 stars if I could.
This was in our four game rotation for n64 party time with my cousins. I haven't completed the campaign, but the PVP was so fun that I have to give it 5 stars.
I like this game. I played it too much but years and years too late. I didn't love the mechanic of different characters having different items. I know others do, but it just isn't satisfying for me. I love the tracks and the two players on one cart, but not the 5 stars that I wish I could have given it.
I only started playing this for the channel 3 events. It's such an incredible game and now it is free to play and cross-platform. I loved excite-bike soccer mode, and this just feels like a smooth modern and improved version of that.
This game was one I always had difficulty with getting to play. I had to blow on the cartridge and wiggle it to the tightest position against the front of the NES. I loved this game. The jogging in a pink suit chasing your trainer on a bike. The ridiculous size of all fighters except little mac. I remember spending countless hours trying to solve the puzzle of how to beat an opponent. 4 stars!
Loved this game! This was one I made sure to hunt down at a flea market. When it came out, it was around the same time I was getting into snowboarding. I'd rent it from the local convenience store for the weekend and try to play through it.
This game was pure silly fun. I remember the whole family getting involved for this game. Huddled around the computer waiting for insults and then for Santa to smoke them.
This was a game that never needed to be made. Who would think disney characters skateboarding is a good idea. However, it was good mindless fun with a peppy soundtrack. I really enjoyed skating around the disney worlds.
I was a pokemon blue player, so I only got this as an adult. The added mechanic of pikachu following you around was a fun addition to an already great game.
I like this game and it will hold my attention for a few months and then not again for a few years. It is effective at it's mission of getting me to walk more. It is fun, and not too challenging. For serious gamers, holding gyms or teaming up for big battles sounds fun, but I was only a collector or pokemon I saw on my walks.
I love most (maybe all) boxing games. This one I remember having incredible graphics compared to mike tyson's punch out on the nes. It was difficult but not insane. Great game.
This game drew me in for more late nights than I'd care to admit. I loved the game. I've moved on to Mario Kart as my main game, but this game is a great one.
Watching my father-in-law on the drums while my mother-in-law raps are the fun memories this game produced. It was revolutionary at the time and still a great game.
Such a great game. This was one I was envious of not having a PlayStation, but one that I always go to my older brother-in-law's to play it. I now own it for the GC, and it's fun and mindless (since I'm not obsessed about collecting all the gems).
This is a great game for what it is. I don't love the catching mechanic because I'm old school. It's an easier version of the original red/blue/yellow, but I love the graphics and the gameplay so far.
A pretty pathetic game. I played the snot out of it. I loved the Noah game on it. The David game was fun, but always glitched out when you got so far. The Moses game was fun, but was too hard for me as a kid. Didn't love it, and not sure why I played it so many hours.
A slightly better graphics Exodus (NES) game. I felt like this game was a lazy money grab. I still liked it, but really didn't have the same pull as Exodus did.
This game was actually great. I am usually quite skeptical of cheesy Christian reproductions, but this game was 1-part pac-man and 1-part problem-solving. It actually reminds me of later phone games. I remember it being really hard, but really fun.
Great game with a fun soundtrack. This is the current game that both my kids (5 and 7 years old) want to play with me when they are home with daddy. Loving this game.
I kept thinking that this game that was strickly PVP wouldn't be worth my money. I was wrong. I loved Overwatch. Had multiple friend groups that would play. Such a solid game!
How are there so few reviews of this game. I had it on an emulator while I should have been studying for exams 16 years ago. A great, and addicting game. I haven't been able to find the cartridge for a reasonable price yet. The hunt continues!
Super strikers on GC was one of my fav games on that system. I like this game. Rating could improve to 5 stars if I played it more or more DLC content keeps coming.
I love tennis and Mario. When I bought my switch this was a top 5 purchase for me. I've only played this game a few times. It just didn't grab my attention.
Great game. I played it the first time as a teenager at a fundraiser and they had a doubles tournament. When I was getting back into retro collecting this game was one that I bought and actually got a lot of play time out of. Solid addition to the Mario Sports.
This was a really fun game. The solo campaign had cars to drive and shoot missiles (and maybe a snowmobile), and lots of gadget use. The multiplayer was really fun too. It didn't take off like Goldeneye, but a really solid game
Comparing it to other mario parties is it's downfall. My kids had a blast playing this one, and it was always a fun time together. If 3.5 stars was an option, I'd pick it, but I'll round up.
I really couldn't get into this game. I think I had the other games, so it was a duplicate, except for the second super mario. And I didn't love the second super mario.
The hip music, the cheetohs, the skateboard riding, the tarzan swinging through vines, the riding a butterfly being chased by birds and shot by military missiles, how could this not be 5 stars?
I was a huge fan of this game when it came out. My frustration came with the constant nerfing of guns right after you get them, or max level increase at the same rate as you finally get that top level. I felt like I was being played, and if it didn't affect the PVP play, I wouldn't have minded, but I found it very frustrating.
Loved this game. I remember spending countless hours in my grandparents' basement playing it. They had the SNES, but our family only had the NES at the time.
I remember playing this countless nights while "On Duty" as an RA at my university resident front lobby. It was a really solid game! Glad it got added in here.
This was my cousins “go to” racing game on the 64. We loved the races and variety of vehicle types. The battle mode was fun., my favourite was the dinosaur eggs game!
I believe I started playing this after finishing dk64. I really loved this game. Campaign and multiplayer were great. I remember hoping for a sequel, but alas RARE/Microsoft…
