Paperboy on n64 doesn't seem to capture the success of the old arcade game and it's too short.

User Rating: 6 | Paperboy N64
By johnthegamegeek | Review Date:
Intro:
You play as, well, Paperboy throughout 6 or 7 levels of delivering newspapers throughout neighborhoods.

Game play:
Fun, but difficult at times. There's 6 or 7 neighborhoods to explore and only one boss battle. Also, the game says at the end to play on Medium or Hard to get more levels, but i can't seem to find it anywhere. But overall the game play is just right.

Graphics:
Paperboy doesn't look anything like the guy on the cover, he looks more like "Robert the Doll''. Everything along with Paperboy looks polygonal.

Music and Sound:
Music is decent. Sound effects are good.

Controls:
A for moving forward. L for throwing newspapers to the left. R for throwing newspapers to the right.

Lasting Appeal:
Not as good as the arcade original, but still, it's okay. 6 out of 10.

    Let me start off by saying that this game is a lot better than all of the bad reviews this game has gotten - It's a simple yet fun game. The graphics are very, very cartoony, but I personally, feel like it added some cre... Read Full Review
