Mace: The Dark Age (Nintendo 64, 1997)

This game was pretty good, it has a nice selection of awesome characters, each character has a awesome weapon too, brutal bosses, i'm pretty sure this game has fatalities too, but i havn't learned how to do them yet. Yes it is a bloody game but fun, oh yes and there is also secret characters you can unlock and play, The boss after Grendald, is a bad ass, he's huge,you can also fall in lakes of acid and get hurt from that. This game is just awesome, if you love V.S games i'd suggest this game for you.

I was suprized, I thought this was going to be an rpg type game reading the item discriptions. I was suprized to find that it's a one on one fighting game like mortal combat or killer instincts. But I did love the caricter designs and the fighting moves were what you would expect kind of dull. But graphics are pretty cool for a 64!

Mace: The dark age is a Fantastic game that has Huge enviroments,Great looking characters,Detalied graphics and interesting combo system. Mace uses Horizontal,Vertical and kick to attack there is also a 'evade' Button that allows the player to move away quickly or side step.

What I love about mace is how you have lots of room to move around in and the detail is Excellent for such a first generation N64 game. Combos are also fun to figure out, you can't JUST mash buttons and win like in other fighters. This is one of the only fighting game That I can say that ALL fighters are good. 12 fighters to pick from and 5 hidden in the game. Mace the Dark age has one of the best soundtracks in a fighting game, It's very dark,moody and gets you revved up to beat some rear. The first combatant is "Mordus Kull" The hard rocking guitar will having you banging you head. Good stuff and really sets the mood of a such a underrated game.

A game so great doesn't mean it doesn't have problems. The Computer is Difficult later on in the game and requires being "Cheap" in order to defeat them one character "Lord Deimos" is ridiculously cheap. The control doesn't move at respond too well when the graphics lag when there is too much going on but that fixes itself pretty quick. One last minor problem is somethings scenery can get in your way but this is rare but it will happen.

There were other fighters out for other consoles that made this gem overlooked (Soul Blade,Battle Arena Toshinden 2, Tekken ETC). I suggest anyone looking for a fighter that doesn't have restricted enviroments,Sweet Characters,Easy Combo system and Graphic Fatalites. You should really get this game for it's probably the 2nd Best N64 Fighting game (Killer Instinct Gold being first).

Try it,Jam it,Enjoy it.
