Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
No controller-support at all? Seriously? On top of that, the game doesn't run/start properly on a Windows 10 64bit system. Please GOG/Ubisoft: Fix this! Such a good game doesn't derserve a PC-port with such technical issues.
The game plays excellently on Windows 10 for me, I don't know about the issues someone else was talking about, GOG seem to have either patched and fixed it now, or my PC config is good. The graphics are superb clean, it's a joy to be able to play it again on a modern pc.
The game is one of your usual platformer adventure games popular at the time, in full 3D unlike the first game, with a very unique and incredible atmosphere, visual design and music; so it stands out a lot from most platformers. The gameplay is nice and fluid, consists of collecting various things, jumping, hanging, avoiding, fighting enemies; the story is fantasy though fairly simple and very suitable for children, so if you have kids they will love this game. I however was scared ****less from the robot pirates when I was a kid, hahah. Very fun game, fun adventure and unique experience.
I first saw this game when we were allowed to play on the computer during Elementary school. I was amazed by its visuals and the dark premise it set. I got it later when I was in middle/high school and loved it. It is a great 3D platformer that really gives you a sense of exploration, even though most of the levels are linear.
The game is divided up in 15-20 levels (can't remember right now). Each one of them is very unique and almost all of them have 50 lums to collect. There is one level where you have to save a whale underwater, there is another where you run away from a pirate ship bombing you, there is another where you ride a walking shell (missile). The levels are very memorable and have a real charm to them.
There are some issues with this version. It runs using a Glide wrapper called nGlide. Although it allows you to run it on modern systems, the Glide version of the game graphically looks inferior to the DirectX version; considering it looks worse to Direct X 6, it is no wonder they lost the war. If I remember correctly, the lums looked more detailed in the DX one. That being said the game still looks as great as an N64 era game should be. The controls on the PC version aren't remappable, the manual even proudly states this. As far as I know, there is not true analog control support so even if you remap the keys via ds4windows or joy2key, it will just emulate the four directional arrow keys.
If you like 3D platformers like Super Mario 64, definitely give this a try. You won't be sorry.
