Command & Conquer 64

This is a Fantastic game! It's a live strategy/action game, which means unlike other strategy games that are slow and methodical and allow you a lot of time to plan your strategy and then you sit and watch a bunch of repetitive screen animations that you have no control over. Command & Conquer requires you to apply strategy continuously as the action happens in front of you. Command & Conquer also allows you to play either side, the good guys or the bad guys. There are 15 missions for the GDI side and 13 for the NOD side. Each mission has a specific goal that must be done to complete it, but any one mission can be beaten several different ways. The controls for the game are pretty easy to learn. The graphics for the game are great. There are up to three variations for each mission making a total of 50 different scenarios. This is not a game that you're going to beat in one day. It is a very challenging game, but at the same time a lot of fun. I've heard a lot of bad reviews about the playstation version, that is not the case here. I can't say enough good things about Command & Conquer for the Nintendo64. I can't wait for a sequel.

I got this game and I thought it was going to be just an okay game. Did I ever find out how wrong I was! The game is absolutely addictive! You can play as the Global Defense Initiative (GDI)the good guys or the bad guys, who are simply called the NOD. There are 15 GDI missions and 13 NOD missions. There are also two exclusive N64 only missions for each side. The grapihics are okay, but not anything real fancy. If you want to run the game in High Resolution mode make sure you have an expansion pack; this also makes the graphics better. Just remember to go to the opions menu and select High Resolution everytime you play because if you don't the game will run on Medium Resolution. When you use and airstrick for the GDI or use a lot of flamthrowers, flamtankes, or a Nuclear Missile for the NOD, the game play will so slow down to a crawl until the fire stopsm but after the napalm is it out the game goes back to its normal speed. When a soldier dies he spills over and a little pile of blood comes out and then it disappears along with the body. If you run over enemy troops with tank or something, you get a squishy sound. When a soldier dies you may hear a scream. These are the only violent grapcis in the game. The music is great at times, but some of the tracks are boring. This is the best strategy game for the N64! A little hint to help is that the NOD are great at whiping out infantry while the GDI are better equipped to handle tanks and defensive positions. When you are capable to produce tanks and vehicles build vehicles instead of infratry because a NOD flame tank or a NOD flamethrower can wipe out a lot of infantry with no problem at all. If you play as the NOD then build turrets and light tanks to take out the GDI forces. You can use a group of light tanks to run over infantry. Also another hint is that if you play as NOD build some recon motorcycles in the later missions when GDI uses ORCAs, they are kind of like helicopters, to harrass you and if the recon units are in guard mode they will attack the flying pests. This is definitely a must have since new N64 games are no longer coming out. Some of the later missions can take up to three to four hours to complete. Have fun!

The best wargame ever!

I was impressed with the diferrent weapons and tanks available. The idea of two fictional sides such as GDI and Nod is wonderful. The best weapon is the Nuclear Strike for NOD. It's the best wargame I've ever heard of. In my opinion it has better graphics than the original version on the PC.

Nice try,but it falls a little short.

This game was good on 64,but it was somewhat disappointing.I was disappointed at the way your commanders mouths dont move when they talk to you,you'd think they would have added that in. The 3-d animation is really good in some aspectes of the game,not so good in some others.The boxes with a black stick coming out is the best impression of a tank they can give you,frankly its insulting,and the controls are way to hard to master if you are in a heap of trouble.The N64 control is too small with not enough buttons for C&C.But it does have its advantages.If you dont have a computer,then get C&C,just to give a taste of C&C on PC.The thing that surprised me was the "ghost" cursor they give you.If you move the cursor over a hill,it looks like its climbing over a hill,I like that.I think that the game is a good challenge for people who beat C&C,its the same,but it will feel REALLY wierd the first couple of missions.But even with all that,I still like the game.

Good Edition of C&C

If you don't have a computer, this is the Command and Conquer game for you. While there are no new innovations to the classic CGI vs Nod stooryline and gameplay, the graphics and sound have been improved tremendously. The explosions and flames are particularly striking even without an expansion pack. The game has a great difficulty curve, earlier missions being easier than later ones. Conversion from mouse control to the N64 control is impressive. I found it easier to control than the actual keyboard/mouse combinations of the PC versions. Overall, Veteran C&C players won't find anything new here, but for those new to it, the game proves to be quite a find.

Great strategy game

Command and Conquer is the greatest strategy game I've seen for N64. This game allows you to plan and strategize as the action happens, unlike other slow, methodical, and totally boring strategy games.

Another cool part is you can choose which side to fight on: the good side (GDI) or the bad side (NOD). Every mission is complex, puzzling, and can be won many different ways.

Overall, this is a great game and a great buy.

Fun,but you don't do much

This game is fun and challenging.I like everything about this game,exept you dont do much.When enemies are right by your men,you dont shoot them,your men automaticlly shoot them.All you do is command your men.This game is cool because as you beat more levels,you get to buy better troops.You start out with minigunners and two trucks.When you get a big truck,you get to run over enemies.If your not aloud to rent games where you shoot the c**p out of people you'll be aloud to rent this game because you don't shoot people,you just tellthem to shoot people.

Stick to the PC

I have been a HUGE fan of Command and Conquer games ever since they first debuted back in 1996. I was pretty excited to see the N64 release only to be gravely disapointed. All of the levels were the same as the PC version, there was no multiplayer (best feature of C&C games!), and the graphics were 3D but screwed up! Using the stick instead of a mouse to control your units is so hard it seems useless to try. Why spend $ on a jacked over version of a classic when you can buy the perfected computer version for cheaper? The answer is you don't!

Great fun, but terribly addictive

Command & Conquer for N64 is a lot like the PC version, the big difference being the load time. I found the play to be challenging but arcade like -- its easy to just pick up and go. My only complaint might be the speed that the game can run at when a lot of things are going on at once (explosions, troop movements, etc.). Lotsa fun, lotsa good strategy.

fun, but a disapointment

This game may look awesome at first, but if you buy these war games for skirmishes (like me) then you will be VERY disapointed, there is no skirmish/free game mode! Not to mention the lack of multiplayer and choice of color. If you like awesome in-depth stories, this is THE game for you...
