64...yes or no?

i played it for the first time yesterday...and im loving it, who else here cant see too much wrong with this game? ive actually became a big fan of it the last 24 hours, i just dont like the HUD too much. thoughts and opinions?

It is a brilliant game that uses the N64 controller VERY well. This is the game that truly got me into the series. Best track in the game is Qoron IV. Oh and them challenges are very frakking hard dude.

Glad to see someone loves WO64 as much as I do :)

My favorite physics of any of the games. Two problems with the game, so you don't have to discover on your own. Time trial is only one lap records(this would have been nice to be like xl). When you are in first place you pick up no more turbos, autopilots quakes bombs, which sucks, but when behind you pick up all of these. The tournament for 64 is weapons off because of this. I have a cheat code to make it fair for gameshark, but I do not know how to get it to work with player one and two, it always freezes up.

Yup the two problems you highlighted are what bugged me about the game. Also the corrupt save files. I must have done the Challanges all to gold at least three times!!! Very good game in my eyes.

It was Nintendos best match to comeback on when Sega and them were in were in the game console war with each other.

Assuming who all have played with the Sega Saturn version of Wipeout
and the all who played Nintendo 64 version of Wipeout

Freakin Neat I thought when i played it.
The same company who brought out to fighting gamers everywhere. Midway and Midway created Mortal Kombat for SNES/N64.

The game motivates speed, control, and grip.
And some of the same factors Wipeout XL for Playstation had.
cutting corners and real high fly action.

And holding the 64 controller was cool for players after the other games that were offered.
A lot of folks hold and play the controller different.

lol I still use both hands on the palms and the left for moving.

I love the game but still haven't had the time to finish it. Great physics and although the tracks are far from original, it feels totally wicked to race Karbonis in reverse at Phantom speeds in a Piranha II. Messes with my head every time!
WO64 is sort of a SE version of wipeout - you get hardly any original tracks, but you get to race classic tracks faster than you ever did before. The first four-player wipeout, that's probably the best reason to get it.

The weapons hand-outs are what really wreck the game though, I think, just like Al said. Not random at all, ugh. Well, I guess it's the game freezing that really wrecks it. Just when you think you've got that lap nailed, it goes and freezes up. AARGH!
Great game, yes, but spoiled by the weapons and freezes. And the Nintendo-ized screens. And lack of good music tracks (just not up to the quality of the other games' tracks).

I loved everything about WO64 and I still do - fav song: Goodnight Lover by Fluke...play that on qoronIV at phantom and its pure heaven...:hyper

WO64 is one of my all time favs for sure. There really is nothing better than flying so fast you can't feel your hands afterward.:g The weapons bug/glitch thing is the main detractor tho:(

as far as the game freezing and the corrupt saves are concerned, I really think it's just due to dirty cartridge contacts. I always kept my games and console clean (Q-Tips & Windex for cartridges, and a system cleaning kit for the console), and I even cleaned the pins on the memory cards. Never once did i have hte game freeze on me or get a corrupt save; I did accidentally hit my N64 while I was playing though, and the jostle must have interrupted SOME kind of data transfer because the music got scratchy. That was about all though.

i never quite liked the N64, it had some good games, thats for sure, but i never did like it, the controller felt too much like a toy.
