Product Description

Product Description

Stuck on a level? Looking for more game lives? Don't run around like a headless chicken--hack your way to freedom! The GameShark Pro adds new life (or lives, as the case may be) to your N64 carts, allowing you to play with infinite health, lives, ammunition, and all the hidden characters locked away in the programmer's vault of fun. The simple interface displays available preprogrammed codes for thousands of games. New codes and games can be added on the menu system (using the high-score-style letter and number scrolling for each character--tedious, but effective). Just stop by the GameShark Web site to grab the latest codes, often available just days after a game's release. A new feature allows any Metnick wannabe to hack codes of their own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Use common sense when using this, July 14, 2006

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: GameShark Pro (Video Game)

Everyone who has posted bad reviews here has no common sense. If you read the manual that comes with it, it Clearly explains that games that are very highly detailed (such as Perfect Dark, and the Zelda games) require special keycodes to make the N64 boot up with the Gameshark. You'd have to be completly illiterate to not catch on to any of this.

Secondly, the Gameshark can do much much much more than just giving ypu infinate lives or infinate ammo. If you study the manual and follow the examples of how to use the built in code generator, you can actually do all sorts of things like making your own customizible weapons, or making enemies not be able to move while you are facing them. You can use a gameshark to make your character fly at the push of a button, or you can use it to load objects into a level that you wouldn't get in that level.

In Perfect Dark, I was able to make a grenade launcher that fires toilets.
In Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, I was able to make Link's bow fire 5 arrows at the same time, and have them explode on contact.
In Rainbow Six, I was able to give the hostages guns and let them shoot terrorists.
In Goldeneye, I was able to walk through the locked door in the facility multiplayer level and play multiplayer in the entire facility level!
In Command and Conquer, I was able to build both NOD and GDI units and structures without having an mcv.

You can do anything you want with one of these!

The point is, don't buy something and not know how to use it when you complain that it's broken. And what's even funnier about these guys that say their gameshark's broke, is that the only way to break one is to load in a keycode for a game you don't have. And if you actually load a keycode, huge text apears that says "ARE YOU SURE YOU HAVE THIS GAME?" just to make sure that you aren't going to break the gameshark.

So take my advice and read the manual before you try something you aren't sure about.

If you're looking for fun or just a way to get by a level or hard part in a game this Gameshark Pro is the best out there! You can enter codes for games, You can create your own codes using the code creator, in some cases you can even edit your game (which may not be good!) This is the best piece of plastic I've seen! It helps your gameplay a lot on almost any game!

3.0 out of 5 stars It's OK...when it works, December 27, 2000

Ok, this is pretty fun when you first buy it. You can moonjump in Zelda, get infinite ammo in Goldeneye, infinite energy in Mortal Kombat 4, etc. But be cautious. Mine broke one month after purchase. I didn't misuse it or abuse it, but the screen went black one day and stayed that way. You can send it back to Interact for an upgrade, but that's about all. Buy this at your own risk. And I recommend getting cheats off an OFFICIAL website when you use the Gameshark. Invalid codes can corrupt it forever.
