GOEMON'S GREAT ADVENTURE is the second game featuring Goemon to hit the Nintendo 64. This time, the characters are in 2D, though the backgrounds are 3D polygonal renders. This results in a unique view, featuring pseudo-3D gameplay, without the frustrating issues that bad camera angles can cause. The story involves the evil Bisumaru, who has taken control of a machine that summons ghosts. The four heroes, Goemon, Yae, Sasuke, and Ebisumaru must fight through many levels to stop her. Gameplay consists of mostly running and jumping to different platforms, but it also involves solving puzzles that use each character's abilities in a different way. The game features music and graphics that perfectly represent what is being conveyed, resulting in a fun experience. GOEMON'S GREAT ADVENTURE is unlike any other title on the Nintendo 64, combining elements of classic 16-bit titles with the flash and flair of other console offerings.

Pros: FUN, great graphics, sound, playability. Retro, but new.
Cons: If you dont like 2d platformers, stay away.
This game is fantastic. It's got all the fun playability of the Legend of the Mystical Ninja for the SNES, but with the N64's graphics.
I loved the previous SNES version, with all the mini games, great bosses, and of course the 2 team co op, with piggybacking. Pure genius. The first Mystical Ninja game for the N64 was a first person deal, and didn't have the charm of the old 2d versions. This on has everything you loved about Mystical Ninja, and more.
For starters the main characters are back (4 in total if you your not familiar with the Japanese versions of the Goemon games). You get to use each, and they all have different weapons, power ups, and uses. All control and play like a dream, and you can do 2- 4-player coop. Hard, but fun.
There's a ton of levels here, each with multiple exits, and hidden things. On top of that there's a constant day/night timer, and at nighttime each level has some subtle differences. You could play the first level of this game (5 or so subsections total) for weeks and not find everything. But there's so much more.
If you like platformers, or are just looking for something completely bizarre and unique, you can't pass this up. You can find it in bargain bins sometimes for like 25 bucks. It's a crime if you don't pick it up.
