Its rather odd considering how many classic role playing games were spawned on the original NES and SNES systems. THQ brings us the first Action RPG available for the N64, and while comparisons to Zelda is imminent, Quest does boast being the first 3D RPG outing for the N64. Quest 64's story line is very light-weight and is really geared toward younger audiences. Graphics are lush, rich and imaginative. The battles are pretty cool stuff as Quest institutes a modified battle system, which is a hybrid of action and turn-based RPG's.
Animations are nice and fluid.
The main character however is not very appealing and you can't help but feel that there is a very shallow and generic quality to the character as well as the story line. Its a shame that a game that is as graphically lush as Quest features an uninspired story line and very shallow quests. The play mechanics are interesting and quite enthralling but the quests and story are so simple and straightforward that most seasoned RPG players will simply breeze through this. Quest could have been much better with more involved story line, longer main quest, and more sub-quests. Its would have been nice to have seen more items and weapons available.
