I thought this game was great.  I got it right after it was released and was blown away by the lush tropical graphics and game play.  You had huge areas to explore and a large weapons arsenal at your disposal with plenty of ammo.  This is definitely one of the better games in the N64 library.  I replayed this again in 2017.  It was exactly twenty years since I beat it the first time and boy what a stroll down memory lane it was.  Even though the graphics were a bit dated it was just as much fun the second time and you can't say that about many games.
