It's a bit of a clunky, odd game, but behind that rather awkward initial impression lies a real gem in the rough. You wouldn't expect the platforming in this game to be a lot of fun just picking up the controller, but it actually is surprisingly fluid and ends up catapulting the game among my favorite N64 games. The setting is great, too, with unusually cinematic cutscenes (for an n64 title) driving home the atmosphere. The game does have some rougher spots, but if you do not let them deter you, you are in for a great experience with some pretty memorable encounters.
