Honestly, maybe one of my favorite N64 games. I used to rent it a bunch as a kid.
It definitely has some fundamental control issues that are going to make most people dislike and drop it now a days.
However, it's almost surreal how much this game plays like a modern cover shooter well before the trend hit big. The game is just ahead of it's time. It definitely was better than what they were fully capable of on N64, so the PS2 remake is definitely the better version to play in ALMOST every regard if you don't mind the added bad voice acting. Personally, I like the look/aesthetics of the N64 version more though.
I'm curious if this game had influence in the industry where it counted? I've honestly never met anyone who has actually played it, but the concepts are too on the nose.
There's definitely a lot to love here especially if you appreciate cheesy late 80s and 90s infiltration squad movies. Or even if you're just looking for that off brand Metal Gear feel.
Also I love the music in the first level. It still pops in my head years later.
