This game is OK. It would have of been much better if it had a mode with 2-4 players in it.
poor graphics, poor game play

This is one of the worst N64 titles I have seen. The Paperboy looks like a fat stick figure. You cannot control the bicycle well at all. You are restricted to viewing only one side of a poorly drawn street at a time, which is frustrating. Hitting the targets is only involves a little timing, not real skill. In ten minutes I was bored.
Gotta love the cheese!

If you loved original Nintendo games, and get a little nostalgic when you see blocky graphics, then you'll love this game. If you're looking for some new realistic game, then don't search the arcade section! (duh)

This game is an extremely sad game. One reason is that you only have one option in the game: Deliver Papers. They should have more options like multi-player(even though the graphics stink), create your player(stats,paper, etc), and many other interesting things. The levels are also boring with the same obstacles over and over. If you like paperboy on gmboy, or snes, stick to them. N64 version is much more worse

I am a huge fan of the original paperboy and spent countless hours and quarters playing it at the arcade. This game is a sad attempt at revamping the first that makes the original look years ahead by comparison. The graphics were horrible, the music even worse, and the variety and challenge non-existent. This would be all right for toddlers since even shiny objects amuse them, but if you're looking for something fun or simply trying relive the entertainment and challenge of the original, stay as far away from this one as possible.
gee what a game

I say the codes are awesome and has some great bonus levels and regular levels but you'll be dissapointed in graphics and stearing I'm a expert at N64 vidoe games and I say rent this 1 first at BB and if you LOVE IT buy it otherwise waste of money.

While playing the game you realize there isn't much variety. The bike is really hard to control. Overall though, the worst part of the game is that it is only a 1 person game. It would be better if you could race against another player and not just the clock. My 7 year old daughter doesn't even play with it, she prefers to try to compete with me or her dad. So, if you have a child that likes to play alone they might enjoy it. Otherwise it would probally collect dust.
