I like this game because its one of the only RPG's on the N64. Innovative magic system, OK graphics, and its just fun. Bad things about it are it's easy, and it seemed short. You also can't buy items, which is a definite bad. But give this game a try.

As said above I really didn't like this game. For one the story just wasn't anything special. I mean your dad disappears and you have to find him and some other magical jewels. *Yawn* Secondly the battle system was HORRIBLE! I mean you're stuck in this big hexagon which if you position yourself wrong or if you want to hit the stupid monster with your staff and you aren't close enough you miss and get attacked three or more times and die and then you start all over again. That happens so often it's not even funny. The graphics are okay, nothing special though. The magic graphics were especially lame though. I mean they lasted for five seconds max.Thirdly the characters were boring, period!I mean the characters had no growth and were about as interesting as a piece of sand paper. Overall this game gave me several headaches and was just plain boring. I guess it's because I expected something more like Zelda and was disappointed. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, period.

Quest 64 is a Role Playing game that stresses 3d eye-candy, with little depth of story, plot, and no long lasting appeal (all three are essential, along with others, for a good rpg).
The main character only has one weapon and a few items which most of which repeat themselves in a pattern throughout the entire game.
There are no side quests or red herrings to keep you intrigued, no easter eggs.
The battle system first of all is the most boring turn based combat system ive ever seen. Oh and youll spend 80 percent of the game running around the countryside fighting monsters to build your levels (thats all the game's empahsis is on, building levels) and thatll bore you after about a couple of hours, off and on. The game's story seems to get loss in the building of levels after the first few hours or so.
The amazing 3d graphics are the only thing really good about this game, as its the only thing that really keeps it from getting one star. But still graphics dont make up for a game with such a linear monotonous flow.
I recently re-read some of the previous Nintendo Powers reviews of this game hyping it up as being as good as Final Fantasy series....that was a selling/promotional point more than anything else, since as the first editorial writer above said, "Quest 64 sinks in too many areas: (to paraphrase him).
If you can find this game used at a exchange store for 5 dollars nowdays then I would buy it, thankfully I only rented it and the guide, rather than pay 50 bucks for this game when it first came out, you should do the same.

This game as what I think of very poor graphics. I hate the way you have to fight every 10 seconds. The towns are so far apart, and there is so little detail about the town itself and people that live there. In Zelda (prefered over Quest) there was immense detail about the places. Although the world in Quest is bigger, it is by no means better.

I liked the game because it was not easy like Zelda I beat Zelda in a week this game on the other hand I ve had it for the longest time and I still have not beaten it thats why I like it

I write this review to warn anyone interested in buying this game. This game has the worst soundtrack of any RPG I've ever played, the worst battle system, worst plot development, and worst overall gameplay. I passed this game quickly, and was vastly disappointed with it. My mom bought the game for me and my brother, and she had no idea what she was spending her 75 dollars on. It's not worth anyone's time, and I only played this game because someone I love bought it for me...however, if you want to buy an RPG, save your money and spend it on something worthwhile like any of the FF titles or Zelda.

I remember playing this game when I was a kid and thats the reason I bought it. Playing it now really shows how much games have improved in the last 10 years. The game is really basic and you can hardly explore because you have to battle every 5 seconds, which gets really annoying. The good side of the game is that its a good way to pass time and remember the days when Nintendo 64 was the hottest thing around.

Very fun game....my husband LOVES IT!!!!!! He loves rpg games and this is one of his favorites!!!!

I thought it was weird.I rented it from Blockbuster for a few days. I did not really like the music and I did not like that i could not buy items and that the people just gave them to you when you were running low. Like I said I rented it and so I did not get very far but most of the reviews said it was boring, easy, and short. I would not recomend this to anyone but some people liked it so maybe if you want rent it. Don't buy it, rent it. If you buy it you will be disappointed.

This game is pretty bad. You battle to much. The graphics are great, but that's not what matters. The game gets very boring and I didn't see a story (there might have, but not to my knowlege)....
