Neither I nor my 9 year old son liked this game. Out of all the many N64 games I've played, this is the only one that has literally made me sick with the eye movement required to play it. The graphics are poor and seem too dark which makes it hard to see things. [...] Without question, the worst N64 game I've ever played. [...]

This makes Doom look like brain surgery.

I could only tolerate this game for a total of 5 minutes before I started having suicidal tendencies. When I think of the mediocre graphics I would rather play with a card board box.

Don't buy this game!

This game is bad, simply bad. The graphics are either too fuzzy or too pixilated. The gameplay is awkward, and the sound is uninteresting. I bought this game thinking it would be similar to the PC version, I was sorely mistaken. Don't make my mistake if you're interested in this type of game get the PC version of the sequel.

an absolutley tasteless game with horrible graphics

You'd have more fun playing a homade version of Pong made from 2 pencils and a hockey puck.You are a guy who hasn't shaved in god knows when, smashing grunting bulls with drawn on animated wepons like:a wand, your fists with spiky gloves, and a mace.The object of the game is to hit every thing that comes into your range of sight, and if your blind, you'd just smash everything. I'm not being blunt either. And in the intro, a stupid and extremely idiotic guy says "greetings, mortal." The only thing that makes him immortal is because he has gone through puberty 19 times because he reminds us of our garbage disposals. Hmmmmm... I wonder if he has discovered his smelly armpits. He's probably too busy to explore puberty because he's exploring his own small dark world of grunting psychos and drunk bulls. For all you people who like the game, it would be mor educational to stare at a piece of paper with toenail clippings on it. And to all of the people who do not have it, we reccomend not getting it. Trust us. P.S. The only reason we have it is because we got it from "Santa"

2 and a half stars

I really wanted to like Hexen 64. It's like a fantasy version of doom, and the storyline and atmosphere are damn good. You can play as a weak but magically powerful mage, a strong but magically weak fighter, or a balanced cleric. But this game has waaayyy too many problems. I didnt' even experience the jumping bug in the editorial review either. The first couple levels, i was hooked. It reminded me of warcraft II: trying to save your homeland from impending doom by ringing the bell and such was awesome. And the fact that the enemies teleport in only adds to the gameplay, as you never know whether you've cleared an area or not. The items are cool, and the mazelike and puzzle aspects woulld've been where it really shined, had they been done right.
unfortunately, not the case. Firstly, the horrible graphics reminded me of jurassic park on snes, as the entirely identical backgrounds provided with not-so-great maps caused me to get lost over and over again, thus killing the mood. Also, in the 4th level or so and on, you hit a switch, and it could open something up on a random spot in ANOTHER LEVEL. This caused me to give up, as i have no interest in searching a level over and over for some obscure doorway or whatever. Also, when i cheated to find the later levels wikthout said searching, i found the end-game bosses to be clones of the you!!! this is just lame imo, they couldn't even be bothered to make up cool end-game bosses? Also, jumping sucks ass in this game, so save often.

A classic, yes... but...

Short and simple. Playing this game reminded me of the first games to come out when we crawled out of DOS and jumped into WinDoze. A decent enough first-person shooter - but the graphics are bad enough that I haven't played it ages. What a waste for a 64 bit machine.

not the best or worst corridor shooter

Hexen 64 might not be the best Hexen game there is, but it's not as bad as most people say it is. The graphics are definitely subpar when compared to other Nintendo 64 corridor shooters because they're pixelated when you get close to the walls and other objects. The sound is decent, but nothing special.

The gameplay might not compare to others such as Goldeneye or Doom 64, but it's not that bad. It's fun to play 2-player and try to get through the levels. The control is also good. Hexen 64 isn't at the top rank of the corridor shooters, but it's not the worst that's ever been made.

Decent corridor shooter

"Hexen 64" isn't the best corridor shooter for the Nintendo 64, but it's not as bad as some people might say it is. The graphics don't even compare to the other corridor shooters for the system, but some of them such as the caves and the level with the star bridge aren't bad, even though they're somewhat pixelated when you get close to certain objects. The sound effects and music are good enough, the control is well done, and the game can be fun most of the time.

The best thing about "Hexen 64" is that you can play a 2-player game where you and somebody else can both try to pass a level. You can choose from certain characters such as a wizard to try and make your way through the challenging levels. I wouldn't recommend buying "Hexen 64," but it is a good game to rent.

Its an OK game, lacked in the weopons area

This game was really fun, except for one fact, the WEOPONS! They should have made more then 4 and i mean come ON! The weopons themselves also lacked in alot of areas. the 1st 2 characters' weopons are up close, and the last guys' stupid wand is more then weak. then he gets the frost shards which is more then annyoing,because you have to fire simutaneosly at a guy till they freeze, which they ALWAYS got in my way. the fighter is too up close if you ask me, but his last weopon is probably the best in the game, but the clerics last weopon shoots souls? whats up with that? and the mages last weopon has to be the worst because you ALWAYS miss and it costs you alot of mana. but the mages 3rd weopon was cool, but tottally inaccurate. the cleric actually gets a spell for a 3rd, but it's HORRIBLE it should take 2 or 1 shot to take down one of those 2 headed guys, but it takes 3 to 5 shots to get em down. the fighter's hammer ALSO goes up close but then OH MY GOD IT ACTUALLY SHOOTS AT A GUY WHAT A MIRACLE!!! So if your looking for a game that has alot of cool weopons n stuff, stay away from this game! but if you could careless about that, and is looking for a strategy challenge, then buy this right away.

pre turok in my mind but not as good a solid 3 stars because it is harder than turok
