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.

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).

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.

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!

Watch out Goldeneye, you've got a good rival.

This game is the best spy game in a long time. In Goldeneye, the enemies just stand there and shoot at you hoping to hit you. Not in Winback. The Terrorists will wait for you to show your head and then blow you away. And, Goldeneye's dudes will shoot at you if they see you or not. Winback's will wait until they see you. Winback: Covert Operations offers an exellent training program to teach you all you need to know how to do in the game. The "Crying Lyons"(the terrorists) show some artificial intellegence. Winback's multiplayer mode isn't as great, but offers more ways to challenge one another. Overall, if you were to buy Winback or Goldeneye, go for Winback. Goldeneye is horrible compared to Winback.

Winback

Winback is one of the and if not that the best game I have ever come across. Winback is an amazing Action game that gives you hours of endless fun. If you haven't played this game then I think you should start saving this instant!

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

Great Game

This game is great. It's somewhat realistic somewhat not, and its not completely impossible to get good at. It's realistic because you can only carry about 5 weapons at the max, unlike some games where u carry 8000 guns and 19,000 rounds. The health is the unrealistic part. It actually takes a lot to die but i dont mind that. It's a great game and i dont play many video games so for me to like it, it must be good.

Highly underrated game

Winback is one of the most addicting N64 games I have ever played. I just bought this game recently (2006) and have been spending many hours playing it.

This game is not for people who like easy to medium difficulty games. This game is hard--somewhat in comparison to Tom Clancy's Ghost Reacon for PC.

The game is a little brother to Metal Gear Solid. You rely on stealth and
accuracy to accomplish your missions.

The camera angles can get a bit tricky at times, but once you play you'll probably find yourself getting hooked on the game (as I did) and will become a master of dodging bullets in the "cat and mouse" style of gameplay.

You only get three weapons, but this isn't a bad thing, as it's all you really need to progress through the game. This game ISN'T a Goldeneye or Perfect Dark. Goldeneye and Perfect Dark allow you to move through the levels at a steady pace while shooting the enemy.

You must sneak, crouch, roll, and dodge bullets in order to kill enemy terrorist. You can use the camera buttons to check over your sides, to see if they're are any enemies hiding and awaiting you. This game focuses on realism, therefore three to five enemy shots (depending on the range) will get you killed.

If you don't mind challenge, and like stealth games where you assume the role of special operative/spy/merc/marine--any of these types, then you'll probably love Winback.

One con about this game is the save/checkpoints. They are too far between-- and this can get a bit frustrating when you've just killed thirty bad guys, and one gets the drop on you causing you to start all the way back. But the addicting nature of this game keeps you coming back for more until you've become a master of stealth.

Great game. I'm very glad I bought it.

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.
