I just recently ordered this game. Now I have no life because I keep wanting to play this awesome game! The graphics are excellent. The gameplay is outstanding. It's in my top five games for the N64. Right up there with GoldenEye.

If you're a fan of Metal Gear Solid, Syphon Filter, GoldenEye 007, or Mission Impossible you'll love this game. This game has an excellent multiplayer, an even better story with one of the best plots ever and is plain out fun. If you buy one shooter this year by WinBack.

I played this game for 3 days straight and couldn't get enough. It was kinda quirky at first and getting used to the controls (especially the camera controls) takes some getting used to, but if your looking for a good action game that isn't tomb raider(tm) then try this. Someone out there finally used the N64 for something good. It has a nice little story combined with a new way to control a character. It is a really good game if you ever wanted to step in the shoes of a covert ops character and sneak around and take out the bad guys one at a time. No huge guns that can kill a small army with one hit just one guy with his very small arsenal of weapons. You can even get a bonus for only using your pistol. I would definatle pick this up for those people that love thier Bond movies and had fun with Metal Gear Solid(tm).

This game is the best spy game in a long time. In Goldeneye, the enemies just stand there and shoot at you hoping to hit you. Not in Winback. The Terrorists will wait for you to show your head and then blow you away. And, Goldeneye's dudes will shoot at you if they see you or not. Winback's will wait until they see you. Winback: Covert Operations offers an exellent training program to teach you all you need to know how to do in the game. The "Crying Lyons"(the terrorists) show some artificial intellegence. Winback's multiplayer mode isn't as great, but offers more ways to challenge one another. Overall, if you were to buy Winback or Goldeneye, go for Winback. Goldeneye is horrible compared to Winback.

This game is o.k. Take my word for it, that's all it is, o.k.! Well I didn't want to give it a two or three, because it does have goodpoints, but it's not nearly good enough to get a four or five, those ratings are there for games like Goldeneye! I rented the game yesterday, and I got frustrated, because first of all, you have to have a "controller pack", (I always called them memery packs), but anyway, that's what screws you, because once you turn the game off, you have to start alllllllllllll over again, which sucks, believe me! Second of all, ... the camera views will definetly screw you, and I use that word loosely, because when your in a bad position, like in front of a bad guy, the camera won't give you the angle you want, no sirre, it gives you a behind the trees view, giving you a better chance at getting shot. And the third thing, which might be worse for some people, theres not much you do but go around shooting people, which is cool, but it gets old, and it gets old fast! I wish it had objectives like in goldeneye. But if your looking for a game that will be awesome at first, and then screw you, get this game. Ok, so maybe I am too hard on this game, if you've got the time to master the controls, and get used to the camera view, ok, get winback, but if your looking for a cool first person shooter, get goldeneye! It's the best game yet! Believe me, I'm a 14 year old critic/gamer, just like you, and I read these reviews just like you, so go back and look at what I have said, because I'm sitting here typing this review so you wont throw your money out, like I would have if I had bought this game, before renting it. Thanks for reading my review, I hope it helps you in making the right decision!

Winback is one of the and if not that the best game I have ever come across. Winback is an amazing Action game that gives you hours of endless fun. If you haven't played this game then I think you should start saving this instant!

Winback is a mix of startegy and pure insane shot 'em up action. Although the difficulty level is pretty steep I must say that this game is great. It has very innovative control. It is very easy to die so you have to be careful and avoid stupid mistakes. I recommend this game to anyone who liked the shooter aspect of Goleneye or the planning aspect of Mission Impossible. Winback is a great game.

Winback is the type of game that gives the user the complexity and great gameplay more game designers should take note of. This game embarks into a journey of a special operator that has to stop a terrosist organization. The multiplayer game is a wounderful additive to the greatness of the game. This game will be the game to buy on the 64.

Man. This game absolutely rocks. The controls are VERY simple, unlike other reviewers. The game features 15 multiplayer modes that are all LOTS of fun. The game design is PERFECT. Extremely detailed environments, next to zero fog. Even the weapon reloading sequences ROCK! Once you beat the game on any difficulty for the first time you earn lots of hidden characters for multiplayer and you get 2 new modes of play. This game will last you for months and is a must have!

This game is great, and hardly nobody knows about it. Koei has not given this game any hipe so not many people know about it! All the people that do have this game will know what I mean when I say its one of the best shooters since Goldeneye! Its the closest game to Metal Gear Solid for the N64. Its not a first person shooter, you can see yuor self on screen at all times. The controls are tough to learn, it will take you about a half an hour to learn but once you do its great. There is a-lot to do in the game that will keep you coming back and the bosses will give you a run for your money. The multiplayer is not as good as Goldeneye but it is good enough. There are a-lot of players you can be in multiplayer. Koei's WinBack: 11 out of 10
