Nice try,but it falls a little short.Jan 02, 2000
This game was good on 64,but it was somewhat disappointing.I was disappointed at the way your commanders mouths dont move when they talk to you,you'd think they would have added that in. The 3-d animation is really good in some aspectes of the game,not so good in some others.The boxes with a black stick coming out is the best impression of a tank they can give you,frankly its insulting,and the controls are way to hard to master if you are in a heap of trouble.The N64 control is too small with not enough buttons for C&C.But it does have its advantages.If you dont have a computer,then get C&C,just to give a taste of C&C on PC.The thing that surprised me was the "ghost" cursor they give you.If you move the cursor over a hill,it looks like its climbing over a hill,I like that.I think that the game is a good challenge for people who beat C&C,its the same,but it will feel REALLY wierd the first couple of missions.But even with all that,I still like the game.

 The best wargame ever!Nov 17, 1999
I was impressed with the diferrent weapons and tanks available. The idea of two fictional sides such as GDI and Nod is wonderful. The best weapon is the Nuclear Strike for NOD. It's the best wargame I've ever heard of. In my opinion it has better graphics than the original version on the PC.

Good Edition of C&CDec 25, 1999
If you don't have a computer, this is the Command and Conquer game for you. While there are no new innovations to the classic CGI vs Nod stooryline and gameplay, the graphics and sound have been improved tremendously. The explosions and flames are particularly striking even without an expansion pack. The game has a great difficulty curve, earlier missions being easier than later ones. Conversion from mouse control to the N64 control is impressive. I found it easier to control than the actual keyboard/mouse combinations of the PC versions. Overall, Veteran C&C players won't find anything new here, but for those new to it, the game proves to be quite a find.

Everybody Wants to Rule the WorldNov 18, 2001
By Joshua Swanson
I got this game and I thought it was going to be just an okay game. Did I ever find out how wrong I was! The game is absolutely addictive! You can play as the Global Defense Initiative (GDI)the good guys or the bad guys, who are simply called the NOD. There are 15 GDI missions and 13 NOD missions. There are also two exclusive N64 only missions for each side. The grapihics are okay, but not anything real fancy. If you want to run the game in High Resolution mode make sure you have an expansion pack; this also makes the graphics better. Just remember to go to the opions menu and select High Resolution everytime you play because if you don't the game will run on Medium Resolution. When you use and airstrick for the GDI or use a lot of flamthrowers, flamtankes, or a Nuclear Missile for the NOD, the game play will so slow down to a crawl until the fire stopsm but after the napalm is it out the game goes back to its normal speed. When a soldier dies he spills over and a little pile of blood comes out and then it disappears along with the body. If you run over enemy troops with tank or something, you get a squishy sound. When a soldier dies you may hear a scream. These are the only violent grapcis in the game. The music is great at times, but some of the tracks are boring. This is the best strategy game for the N64! A little hint to help is that the NOD are great at whiping out infantry while the GDI are better equipped to handle tanks and defensive positions. When you are capable to produce tanks and vehicles build vehicles instead of infratry because a NOD flame tank or a NOD flamethrower can wipe out a lot of infantry with no problem at all. If you play as the NOD then build turrets and light tanks to take out the GDI forces. You can use a group of light tanks to run over infantry. Also another hint is that if you play as NOD build some recon motorcycles in the later missions when GDI uses ORCAs, they are kind of like helicopters, to harrass you and if the recon units are in guard mode they will attack the flying pests. This is definitely a must have since new N64 games are no longer coming out. Some of the later missions can take up to three to four hours to complete. Have fun!

Great strategy gameAug 09, 2001
Command and Conquer is the greatest strategy game I've seen for N64. This game allows you to plan and strategize as the action happens, unlike other slow, methodical, and totally boring strategy games.Another cool part is you can choose which side to fight on: the good side (GDI) or the bad side (NOD). Every mission is complex, puzzling, and can be won many different ways. Overall, this is a great game and a great buy.
