#47 Perfect Dark (N64)

"My name, is Elvis!"

 

Rare's GoldenEye 007 really showed that consoles could do FPS's. That was a great game.

Then Rare went and made Perfect Dark. Oh, what a game! I was so excited at the time, reading about it in games magazines and just waiting for it to be released. I was so hyped; and Perfect Dark lived up to it!

Oh, where to begin? Perfect Dark is such an amazing package. It has a great campaign with lots of fun and different levels; and when you're done with the campaign you have the enormous Multiplayer mode! Yes, it's ENORMOUS! There are many great maps; the arsenal is probably the best I've ever seen in an FPS, and every weapon had a secondary mode which made an already awsome arsenal even more awsome; you had 4 player splitscreen, which was awsome on my 14" TV and you could throw in bots as well! Man, those Dark Sims were scary...

I can't think of any multiplayer mode that I've spent so many hours in and had so much fun with. It really upped the bar for console FPS's!

Ay, I forgot to mention that you could play the campaign in Co-op mode or Counter-op mode! Co-op was fun but the Counter-Op was awsome! I wish more games had that mode.

 

#46 Mega Man 2 (NES)

"Kill Wily"

 

Mega Man is a great franchise and out of the few I've played Mega Man 2 come out at the top. It improved on the already great Mega Man 1 and offered some really great levels and platforming that was truly hard but not cheap. It was all up to your skills.

As with other Mega Man games it's fun to just figure out in which order to play the stages so you hopefully get an advantage over the next boss. Some bosses are tough, especially when you have to battle them all later in the game. I always die a lot but it's ok; it doesn't feel cheap and you don't have to start from scratch.

While the gameplay and level design are great, the music must be mentioned as well. The soundtrack is wonderful and features some of my most favourite pieces of gaming music! The Dr Wily Stage 1 (I think?) theme is just epic! I'm never in a hurry to clear that stage!

Mega Man Rock!
