Man. This game absolutely rocks. The controls are VERY simple, unlike other reviewers. The game features 15 multiplayer modes that are all LOTS of fun. The game design is PERFECT. Extremely detailed environments, next to zero fog. Even the weapon reloading sequences ROCK! Once you beat the game on any difficulty for the first time you earn lots of hidden characters for multiplayer and you get 2 new modes of play. This game will last you for months and is a must have!

Winback is the type of game that gives the user the complexity and great gameplay more game designers should take note of. This game embarks into a journey of a special operator that has to stop a terrosist organization. The multiplayer game is a wounderful additive to the greatness of the game. This game will be the game to buy on the 64.

I think the game has great grphics. It has one problem and that is the camera kind of gets in your way. I personally loved the game and it deserves a 5 star rating.

this is one os the greatest and most under rated games of all time. this is like a real life spy game with great shooting techniques and awesome moves for sneaking around unnoticed so that you can aneak up behind them and pick one of those terrorist jerks.

Jean-Luc andhis crew are trying to stop a group of terrorist in one of the most complicated but fun plots ever. It's a challenging game that makes you think strategically instead of just a game where you go and shoot everyone.

This is one of the all time greats!

Closest game to Metal Gear you'll find on n64!

I got this game because i have played and worn out the james bond games. This game was supposed to be a cool spy game, and it is. This game is, like mg a 3rd person shooter, where you play as a member of the swat team. There are also 3 different endings, depending on how fast you beat the game. The normal baddies are quite stupid, except the one that have knives, but the bosses are just plain awesome. Some have machine guns, rocket launchers, and even two guns. The only bad thing is that you only get 4 weapons in the game. BUT, THAT IS WHERE MP COMES IN. The multiplayer on this game is, to me, better that any of the james bond games. To start off you only get the five swat team members, and, yes only 4 guns. But, after you beat the game on hard, you unlock all the other characters, which fills the bottom half of the character select screen. It's awesome, you can play as banderas(my favorite) who has two guns! All th bad guys you chose have infinite ammo, but they cannot put there backs against the wall. This takes great strategy as to who you choose compared with who your friends choose. The only, i repeat, only thing this game could use in mp is bots, but aside from that, this is one of my top ten for n64.

Win Back -- The Modern Golden Eye 007

Win Back is a game that is a fun game that keeps your interest. Keeping with the spirit of Nintendo, since back in the day of regular Nintendo, this games provides a new and exciting look on N64 games. Its predecessor would be Golden Eye 007 (Game of the Year 1997-1998)Its a modern day version of this game. If you are looking for a game such as Golden Eye 007 this is it! The story line is the same old song and dance, but the action in the game is realistic! You have to use all of you skills and brains to suprise the bad guys. The multi-player mode is excellent. The Pros: the action, combat, millitary like maneuvers are whats key in this game. The Cons: the camera angles need work, but they surpass the requirement, a varitey of weponery would be nice, and the lack of different arenas to play in is the only down side. This game is Great! I would recommend it. Teens and Higher, its pretty realistic, but no Blood.

Mix Metal Gear Solid, with Goldeneye, and Syphon Filter

Good graphics, good sound, good control, and a great storyline is what a great game is made of. Winback has all of these. It's like Metal Gear Solid, only with less sneaking around, and more shooting. But it's still the closest thing to Metal Gear Solid for the N64. It kind of gives you a feel of Time Crisis, because you can peak around corners to shoot and then turn back up against the wall. The game has a very relestic feel to it, because you can roll out of the way of gunfire. Another relestic thing is that instead of running out in the wideopen with your guns blazing, you have to hide behind walls and crates to shoot. How you do that is you lean up against a wall, peak out and shoot, or duck behind a crate and then pop up and shoot. But if theres more than one enemy, you'll have to come up to shoot a few rounds and then duck back behind the crate or wall, so the enemy doesn't shoot you. If you try to go out in the wideopen and shoot, your going to die. The enemys aren't stupid like in most games, so you'll definitly have trouble on the hard mode. The graphics are good, but theres a lot of fog and breakup in the backgrouds. The character animation is great though. Sound is also good, but could have been better. The controls can be diffucult at times, especially when the camera is in the wrong place at the wrong time, which happens a lot. But you'll get the hang of it with practice. The story has two endings, so if you want to know how it really ends you should beat it on normal. It also has a big twist on the true ending that you'll be able to guess easily. So if you want fast-paced video game acton, go with Winback. It's the next best thing to Goldeneye, and one of the best action games around.

Banderas' Review of Winback Covert Operations

Winback Covert operations is the best game out right now for the Nintendo 64. You are a member of S.C.A.T. (Strategic Covert Operations Team). Your team has been mobilized to act against the Crying Lions. A terrorist organization that has captured a government base at Westham. The terrorists have used Gulf, a strategic weapons satellite, to destroy the center for space developement. Unless their demands are met, they will unleash the weapon again. Only 3 hoours remain until the Gulf Satellite is recharged. You and your team have that much time to infiltrate the base, neutralize the terrorist threat and regain controll of the Gulf Satellite. In Winback, you embark on a covert operation to take back the government base held by the terrorist group. Weapons at your disposal are: a .45 ACP caliber handgun, a handgun with silencer, shotgun, submachine gun, and a rocket launcher. You can also collect medical kits, ammo pouches, C-4 explosives, a bomb detector, magazines, shotgun shells, and a flashlight. Checkpoints mark your progress on each stage and the game has a save feature which you can use to record your progress at the end of each stage. There are also 6 verses modes in the game that can be played by up to 4 players at a time. They are: death match, lethal tag, cube hunt, quick draw, team battle, and point match. There are also 3 special modes that you can unlock in the game. You can also unlock hidden characters by beating the game on easy, normal, and also by getting a certain amount of points. When you get 31000 points you will have unlocked every boss.

Forget other games like Goldeneye007,or Perfect Dark

So your sick of playing PD or GE right.Meet Cougar,Jean-Luc Cougar,a SCAT agent forced to "Winback" the GULF satellite from terriosts called the "Crying Lions".Seem easy, don't count on it.Well a game that follows the genre Metal Gear Solid.There are so many stages in levels that you will be playing this game for a long time.This game beats GE and PD not just the levels but gameplay and graphics.Beutiful Worlds and backrounds and Music bring in the story of WinBack.Ok so it may have a limited arsenal,but you will use each of the weapons that you have at your disposal.Now there's a twist,you must aim to fire your weapons,I like the feature but may be fustarating at times.Now the best feature that i love is the "Hide`n`Shoot" feature. Which you hide behind a wall then turn and shoot.Just love the feature. Also Jean-Luc has some awesome moves,like the Matrix,well sort of.You will not be disappointed by this game. An award winner. This game won't get any dust at all!

I'll start off by saying that this game is extremely underrated. It is the best spy game on the N64 console since Goldeneye. Why people dont like this game is because they compare it to Playstation's "Metal Gear Solid." I must admit, MGS is a better game, but this is definately the best for the N64. The actions are movie-like, and easy to learn. The music is great, and the sound effects very realistic (boots clank when on metal, different guns have different sounds, etc.). I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes action and/or spy games.
