Nevetoss rates this game: 2/5A beautiful game with a unique spell system, Quest 64 seems to fail in all other areas. The story (or lack of) is absolutely horrific, the gameplay very quickly becomes boring, and there is so little to find that this game perhaps shows best why the N64 is without any RPGs that are worth playing. Although an RPG is rare enough to the N64 that this game is certainly welcome in it's library, it fails to even compare to the RPGs of the PSX, SNES, or GB series.

Chaos_Within rates this game: 5/5Works well all around and hours of good times to be had.
IAmGroot rates this game: 1/5I am Groot. (With all descriptions I add they involve the use of cheats. Why? Because I reveal the same information but how playability is affected when using cheats. You will see more as you read.) This game has its flaws already with lack of story, no extras for side quests etc. This game instantly becomes non playable with 1 cheat. Infinite health, the lack of difficulty due to never dying kills this game completely it has almost no playability and if you do play it through it has no replayability. I do not recommend cheats for this game even for a fun twist attempt.
lfz rates this game: 4/5Quest 64 is a breath of fresh air in the almost RPGless land of the N64. I'm not gonna lie, it's not the greatest of it's kinda and it has many flaws, but it still comes out as a pretty good RPG.
First the bad: there's no plot whatsoever. You're Brian, you're looking for your father, you're a sorcerer and that's pretty much it. All the rest is generic RPG cliches. The game features a nice 3D world but it seems awfully underpopulated, not a lot of NPCs or interesting things to discover. Development of the game seems to have been made in a rush and as a consequence things are quite linear.
What really shines in Quest 64 is the battle system. You're a sorcerer apprentice so you'll be using magic to defend yourself. Attacks can be choosen from four different elements (fire,water,stone and wind) as well as combined to create more powerfull spells.
As you level up you can increase your graduation in each of the elements to fuel stronger spells and combos, but that's not enough if you want to really become stronger. You'll have to search the big 3D environment for little white spirits that can upgrade your magic. Luckily the creators where a little more thorough in the dungeon design so this "quest" will be a nice experience.
It's a fun game. The graphics and music are nothing special, but are nice for an early N64 title. Give it a chance.
