HERCULES: The Legendary Journey for the Nintendo 64 is a spin-off based on the popular television show, and it contains a grand story and setting befitting the original. The game is a platformer with characters and levels rendered in full 3D, containing locations straight out of the show. There are 12 levels to traverse, from Greece all the way to the top of Mount Olympus. You can play as one of three characters: Hercules, Serena, and Iolaus. Each one has unique abilities that help solve different puzzles, meaning that the player cannot always rely on the strength of Hercules to get through the game. The levels are littered with people to talk to and quests to accomplish, as well as items to find. HERCULES: The Legendary Journey follows the formula of the show and translates it perfectly to the cartridge, including everything from the characters to the locations to the guest appearances by certain gods and goddesses.
