If it was up to me I'd auto-add everyone who watches me to my friends list. I used to do that, until DA turned into the slower and clunkier version of itself that we have today.
Anyway, thanks for your interest! I don't post as often as before, but I Have no plans of stopping!
In fact, I would call it one of Rare's best, all consoles included (I think their brightest moment was with the N64 anyways).
The great art direction (the character renders sucked, but in-game they look fine), beautiful colors, varied environments, and amazing music convey an atmosphere like only a pre-2002 Rare game could; blowing up giant bugs has never felt so satisfying. Personally, I prefer it to Perfect Dark, Conker's Bad Fur day, and Banjo 1/2 (although those are all great as well).
Some have criticized the backtracking; you'll have to revisit the levels at some point to complete a certain quest. However, by doing so, you will continue to discover new areas within them, and the game is just so damn fun that it never bothered me at all. It certainly isn't worse than re-entering the same level several times in Mario 64 in order to search for more stars.
Anyway, this is one of my top recommendations for the N64. For action fans, this is a game not to be missed.
I'm quite close to getting it due to those good points and the fact that the ROM is only 20Mb (size is important, due to the caps imposed by Vodavillain who has monopolized internet. A new competitor with better deals has arrived, but the evil Vodavillains bound me with a demonic ''contract''
Unfortunately, I detest console shooters because they use controllers that are absolutely unsuited to shooters (why don't we try playing fighting games with tennis rackets next time?). I thought Goldeneye was $h!t (though, I did enjoy it back then since it may have been the first FPS I had seriously played [before that I had only tried out Quake at a cafe] and the multiplayer could be fun with the mines, well designed levels, one hit modes, e.t.c) along with the entire Timesplitter series (played to heck due to the worst game droughts ever, but never really enjoyed).
I also think that Killzone, Resistance, and other recent console shooters have reached a new levels of cr@piness (while a console shooter for me basically has no potential to begin with, they can at least have good art direction, story , atmosphere, e.t.c. Anything but gameplay basically. Of course, the Wii is excluded, for obvious reasons. Just to mention [and perhaps to show the extremes of my issues with ''normal console'' shooters] I thought that Red Steel was far superior to Resistance 2)
But I hate it when they make you play with 2 joysticks like in modern console shooters. Especially when the left stick is used for walking and the right stick for aiming. Because the left thumb is more precise and should be used for aiming in shooters since they're more about precision aiming than precision walking.
As for JFG, there are basically 2 types of controls that you switch back and forth between during the game. With the "regular" controls, it's similar to Zelda, except you can strafe and jump. When you hold down the R button the controls become similar to a well-done console FPS. The 4 yellow buttons allow you to walk and you aim with the stick to move your cursor and turn around.
You change between both of those by holding down R and releasing it.
More devolution?
Right off the top of my head I don't see any situations where two analog sticks are better than a single central one (though if I used my imagination I might)
May you have great fortune upon all of your creative endeavors.
