Winback is good for anyone who liked Goldeneye.

Winback is a mix of startegy and pure insane shot 'em up action. Although the difficulty level is pretty steep I must say that this game is great. It has very innovative control. It is very easy to die so you have to be careful and avoid stupid mistakes. I recommend this game to anyone who liked the shooter aspect of Goleneye or the planning aspect of Mission Impossible. Winback is a great game.

This game is great, and hardly nobody knows about it. Koei has not given this game any hipe so not many people know about it! All the people that do have this game will know what I mean when I say its one of the best shooters since Goldeneye! Its the closest game to Metal Gear Solid for the N64. Its not a first person shooter, you can see yuor self on screen at all times. The controls are tough to learn, it will take you about a half an hour to learn but once you do its great. There is a-lot to do in the game that will keep you coming back and the bosses will give you a run for your money. The multiplayer is not as good as Goldeneye but it is good enough. There are a-lot of players you can be in multiplayer. Koei's WinBack: 11 out of 10

It's a cross of Metal Gear, Syphon Filter and Mission:Imp.

If you're a fan of Metal Gear Solid, Syphon Filter, GoldenEye 007, or Mission Impossible you'll love this game. This game has an excellent multiplayer, an even better story with one of the best plots ever and is plain out fun. If you buy one shooter this year by WinBack.

It was Awesome

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.

It's Ace Mate! #1

If you master this game, you win the title of the Champion of the Universe!

This game makes staying home on Firday knights worth it ;)

The Klingons must conquer shai-hulud, may they conquer the "great maker".

May the force be with you.

A top five game for the N64!

I just recently ordered this game. Now I have no life because I keep wanting to play this awesome game! The graphics are excellent. The gameplay is outstanding. It's in my top five games for the N64. Right up there with GoldenEye.

THE ONLY GAME THAT SUCKED ME IN!

I bought this game the weekend after i saw it at my friends house and couldn't think about anything else during that week. I played for hours non stop. I never got tired of it and gave me the real anti-terorist feeling instead of pulling out the "Golden Gun", and Killing everyone. This is a must get game or your shooting game collection won't be complete!

A good rental

This game is a lot of fun starting out, but after a couple of hours playing it it gets very monotonous. The levels all seem the same and take far too long to complete. The camera gets incresingly annoying along the way. Multiplayer is fun but gets boring fast. Rent it for a blast but I wouldn't recommend buying.

A few bugs but definatly worth it.

I played this game for 3 days straight and couldn't get enough. It was kinda quirky at first and getting used to the controls (especially the camera controls) takes some getting used to, but if your looking for a good action game that isn't tomb raider(tm) then try this. Someone out there finally used the N64 for something good. It has a nice little story combined with a new way to control a character. It is a really good game if you ever wanted to step in the shoes of a covert ops character and sneak around and take out the bad guys one at a time. No huge guns that can kill a small army with one hit just one guy with his very small arsenal of weapons. You can even get a bonus for only using your pistol. I would definatle pick this up for those people that love thier Bond movies and had fun with Metal Gear Solid(tm).

Wait for Perfect Dark

To sum up this game it should have been titled, GiveBack. Seeing as how I am about to give it back to the store I bought it from. It's poor on all accounts, graphics, game play, acting, camera work and above all AI. I have never seen such 'dumb' enemies. I have also purchased Medal of Honor for the PSX and it by far has the most intelligent enemies on a console game ever. If you are thinking about getting Winback, stop, rethink your decision and wait for Perfect Dark.
