However, this really needs to be said. I just think it is an absolute crime to go through Goldeneye on one of the easier skill levels (no offense intended to Russ Lapenna). I'm not saying that a person can't beat the occasional level at Agent or Secret Agent when the game just gets too frustrating. I'm talking about going through the entire game, learning most of the secrets, feeling the rush, on one of the lower skill levels. I started off at OO agent and kept going through the entire game, and when I finally did beat it, I knew that I had really accomplished something. The boys at Rare did such a good job, it seems a shame to not work through the game the way it should be worked through. If you aren't challenging yourself to an admittedly difficult game then why play at all. I really think the player loses something if they don't beat it at the higher level. This isn't Doom or Quake where changing the skill level only changes the damage or number of monsters. In GE, you have more tasks to do, greater challenges, etc. Besides, if you want to really see everything you have to beat it on OO. I know the game is hard, but people, you owe it to yourselves to to do it the right way.

They're in charge of the distribution, to a certain extent anyway 'cos Nintendo has a role in that too. The publisher forkes over the money so the developer can make the game.

Nintendo is supposed to bring the RPG players > back to N64, but if Quest 64 turns to be really crappy people would Nintendo never thought about bringing the RPG players back to N64. If they did, they would have bribe Square or Enix to make an rpg for them. and they would have made an rpg game themselves. Earthbound and MarioRPG2 are for little kids imo, but i'll still play them. Even if Quest64 is a sucky rpg game, Nintendo can't just say NO, we won't accept this game for N64. As for reviews of Quest64, EGM gave a review on the game. Not a preview. They gave a rating and wrote a few paragraphs on how bad the game is. If you don't trust their rating, that's ok. I beleive in EGM and they aren't really bias against any system. > you paid $7.50 for the movie? I paid $7.50 to see Godzilla.
