Bubsy 3D is a product of its time that has overtime been mistranslated as one of the worst games of all time. While this game does have its issues, you need to take into consideration when this was made. For a game released in 1996, it's a good effort. The level design is open and varied, the soundtrack is good, and the environments are basic yet sharp, clean, colourful and easy on the eyes. My only legit gripe with this game is ground navigation. Turning is stiff and makes collecting atoms, and ground roaming harder than it needs to be. Thankfully when the game focuses on platforming, the jumping feels good in practice, and the ledge grabbing is very useful for reorienting the character in a direction. The camera is a little disorienting, but after a while it makes depth perception a non-issue. Couple that with well animated cutscenes after every level and high replay value, and you have a decent game. It's no Mario 64, but it's adequate.

South Park 64 is a game with good ideas but pales in execution due to its rushed Christmas release. The game is hampered by boring enemies with repetitive patterns, uninspired level design, and you get too much ammo even without exploring. Resulting in a game that's easy shovelware at best that only diehard South Park fans would get a kick out of. The only positives are good control, faithful graphics and writing (although it's rarely funny like the first 2 seasons), and a fairly smooth performance. The multiplayer is the best part, a shame you have to unlock every character by wasting two to three hours of your life in single player, or you can just use cheats. Mediocre at best, although it is one of the better aging Nintendo 64 games unfortunately.
