Super Mario 64 has become one of the most recognizable games of all time and one of the greatest games ever made.

Depth: This game has the challenge for the player to collect all 120 Power Stars, some stars are very difficult to acquire.  This is a very good challenge and once accomplished, the player will feel ultimate satisfaction, no doubt about it.  As a result from the 120 stars, the depth is phenomenal, it took me at least 2 months to finish the whole thing and collect all the stars. 10/10

Sound: The sound effects are generally typical for a Mario game, instantly recognizable. I never forget the time when I first heard Bowser's laugh, I freaked out and didn't touch the game for a few days, funny thing is that I was just starting up the game when it happened. 9/10

Story: Basically, Mario has to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser's clutches yet again.  Generally the same for almost every Mario game before and after.  It's become clichéd, but the story is still very fun. 10/10

Graphics: At the time of its release, the graphics were legendary, being the first Mario game to use 3D graphics and one of the first games on the memorable Nintendo 64.  Nowadays, the graphics have aged well, even put some of the current games to shame.  Super Mario 64 has a great camera system, why can't most of the current games have that feature?  Also, the animation of the game was spot on fantastic, one of the best I've ever seen in a video game. 10/10

 Difficulty: As I stated before, the game can be notoriously hard due to the challenge of collecting all the Power Stars, but the downside is the boss battles.  The bosses were way too easy (Nintendo does this flaw a lot), but they are still memorable.  I still remember being intimated when I fought the final boss for the first time, I had trouble getting into the flow of the battle, but, thankfully, it all worked out in the end.  7/10

Music: The music was really memorable, I remember every piece in the game by heart.  My favorite piece of the score was during the final boss, the music was awesome during and is the very reason why this battle is one of my favorite boss battles. Anyway, the downside is that some of the score is relatively the same in several levels, especially if certain levels repeats a certain theme (3 Water, 2 Ice, 3 Fire).  The music is still easy to remember and fun to listen to.  10/10

Addictiveness: Super Mario 64 will basically force the player to play and finish the game non-stop for at least a few months, even after the game is finished I still dusted of my old Nintendo 64, put the game in, and have a blast once again, even after I finished the game almost 17 years ago. 10/10

Final thoughts: Super Mario 64 is still one of my favorite video games of all time because of the awesome game play, revolutionary graphics, memorable boss battles, and tons of replay value.  Just a really fun game that will still be enjoyed for many generations to come.

Not a bad review in the slightest. I like how you list the positives and negatives in the game to form a final opinion, more reviewers need to do that these days. This has always been one of my favorite games as it is the first legit video game I have ever played. Seeing as you are relatively new here, I'd like to welcome you to the site and hope you have a good time in the future.

Nice review, NinjaX. You provided a good amount of detail so we know what the game is about and how good it is. Everything is spaced nicely, with good grammar too. Nice job.

Clayton 2 :  Thanks for the welcoming.  To tell ya the truth, I'm having fun with this site already, if only I can play PSX games on here, and some other disk based systems like the Dreamcast, this will be sweet. 

Thank you! Lol Thank you for praising the camera system on this game. I've always loved the camera system, but almost every review I've seen has talked about how annoying or awkward the camera was. I thought it was genius myself.

Anyway, rant aside, very nice review here. Good to see a quality review, especially from a newer member. Keep up the good work.

Cool review. This is my favorite video game of all time and I still can't stop playing it (mainly because I get bored and try to perfect my skills in the game). I never did get why Bowser was multi-colored and had a glow in the final battle, though.

Good job on the review It had a decent amount of depth detail and description about the game. keep up the good work. hope to see more reviews in the future
