Silicon Valley: Creativity and Innovation at its Best

As soon as Spacestation: Silicon Valley was inserted in my Nintendo 64, I really had no idea what to expect. I had read some articles in the past on the game in my favorite magazine, N64, and it seem to be shaping up to be a good game. However, I never thought that SSV would be one of the best games I had ever played. Well, SSV is just that: one of the most original, twisted, challenging, and addictive games available on the market today. Some, if not all gamers, have never even heard of the game. Well, to start, let me give a brief background on how the game begins, and how it is played. The game starts off with an introduction scene, in which a news station reports that SSV, a huge floating space colony, is still missing in space (making it 1000 years since it vanished). They have sent out various crews to find Spacestation, but have come up empty handed. Here, is where Evo (you), a robot, and Dan, the companion, come into play. They are a bunch of space freaks, who happen to accidentally crash land in SSV after arguing about what music to listen to. The landing breaks Evo into pieces, which float off into space; except for one key piece: the piece that is used to posses other robotic animals. This is one of the most created aspects of SSV, and there are more than forty different animals you can take control of. As you may have guessed, each animal has its own abilities, ranging from the classic water spray the elephant has, to the exploding brown mines the rat releases (or are those mines...). Animals have advantages and disadvantages as well. For example, the turtle may in fact be slow, but it packs a powerful cannon that fires long range. The game is divided into four unique environments: Europe, Arctic, Jungle, and Desert. There are nine levels in each world, which each have objectives, along with four bonus rounds (including my favorite, kangaroo boxing!). The objectives of each level are found before you select the level and vary greatly. Whether you are "collecting heads", or "gaining access to the King Rat's lair", you will surely have a fun time doing all the objectives. The objectives may sound easy, however, once you get well into the game, the difficulty bar rises, and suddenly the game gets much more challenging and the puzzles become tough as nails. With over forty levels, and forty animals, the game never gets repetitious, and the game will always have you coming back for more. In addition to to the non-stop gameplay, there comes the music in the game. SSV has possibly one of the best music sound tracks to this date. In fact, if you let go of the controller for a moment, the animals begin to groove themselves! Cheesy 70's style elevator music fits the game perfectly, and you will often find yourself humming these addictive tunes, even when you are not playing. Spacestation: Silicon Valley is an animal filled fest, and is nothing but pure gold when it comes to video games. Words simply cannot due justice for SSV. So, if you own a Nintendo 64, you should most definitely buy one of the most overlooked games of all time: Spacestation: Silicon Valley, by Take 2 and DMA designers.

It's out of this world!

I do not like this game. The directions are hard to follow and I did not like the graphics at all. I do not recommend buying this game.

This game is a cute, easy single-player game

This game is a funny, single-player game. I like the fact that you can do almost anything you want, I mean , you have a mission, but you can mess around with things just for fun. It can be boring because ther's basically no adventure or excitement at all.

It's really fun!

The Hippo is my favorite character. I love his attacks and I think he's fun to be. I like that you can turn into all the animals you beat.Some of your favorite animals are in it. And who is this mysterious juggling bear on wheels? I am always trying to catch him in the engine room. He seems to explode whenever I catch up with him. And if you press A at the start of the game where the D guy gets destroyed by dogs, the mysterious bear rides over him. I love Kangaroo too. It's a fabulous game.

It's very...interesting

Now this game is really wierd. It's a sort of cross between traditional platform jumping action and puzzle game (think Chip's Challenge). There are many very challenging levels. When I say challenging I mean it's really hard. I've been stuck for hours on a single level! Definately not a game for little kids.

The graphics, while simple, are very clean with little or now slowdown. Sound is quirky and fun...it's definately not annoying, and will appeal to everyone.

I haven't finished the game yet (due to it's difficulty, which I already mentioned), but it's fun in most cases. But sometimes you can examine a level very carefully and still not figure it out. It's fustrating, tedious, and a bit boring at times.

This isn't a game for everyone, so you should at least rent it first. I think it was way overrated by others, but it's still an above average game from a 3rd party company.

Imagine a robotic petting zoo located in outer space!

You are a mobile microchip that can enter inactive robotic animals and assume control of them. You use these robo-animals to collect different objects and deactivate other animals. This game is in 3D, and it requires thinking to figure out which robo-animal is needed to achieve your objectives. You can become a chopper bunny, a ski husky, a king penguin, a cool cod, and many more. Very interesting, love the variety of robo-animals, and not too difficult to complete levels.

The best game I have ever played, period.

I consider myself a hardcore gamer and have played many types of games on all the current systems, from Legend of Zelda (N64) to Half-Life (PC) to Metal Gear Solid 2 (PS2) to Halo (Xbox) to Shenmue (DC). Space Station Silicon Valley prominantly stands out in my mind as one of the most original and creative games I have ever played. Granted the graphics do not stand out; however, most hardcore gamers would agree that gameplay is by far the most important element of creating a superb game. Space Station Silicon Valley is that game.

OK,But Nothing Great

This game sounds entertaining when you hear about it, but once you play it, the game gets boring fast. The first few levels are easy and entertaining,but the upper levels are incredibly hard. The game is challenging, but the graphics aren't anything spectacular. The way you become new animals is morbid. If you want a good game, go play Zelda64 or Donkey Kong or Harvest Moon. This games awful in every sense.
