Donald Duck Quack Attack / Goin Quackers review on the nintendo 64. Recorded using a dazzle and on original real console hardware and game cartridge. - Hry
Good N64 graphics .
I played this when I was 5. I had a ton of fun with this game, even if I was too young to be good at it.
Hans Emil Eid ah man 5 years old!? you're making me feel old :)
Lots of criticism, but gotta say seems pretty good to me.
+Kevin Cheng I haven't played it since I was a kid, and I had it on PS2, so my judgement may not be the sharpest, but I have some really awesome memories with this game, it was great fun and I'd love to have another go at it one of these days.
+Kevin Cheng Same here.
Agreed, I feel like I had a pretty good sense of what was good and was sucked ass on the N64 as a kid, and I remember having a lot of fun with this game. Oh well, to each his own.
He doesn't bring up any good points
You did a whole quack attack review without uttering the words "crash bandicoot rip off" once, impressive :D
But did you ever play mauai mallard on the mega drive back in the day? No one ever mentions that one.
***** hehe well i thought id let people use the crash rip off in the comments below, my misses is a ps1 fan and thats one of her fav games. don't think i played maui as a kid i loved tazmania though and i think thats perhaps the first game i completed on my own
*****
Mauai is well worth another look, it used the same engine as Aladdin, so has some awesome animation.
But Taz-Mania? You must have had the patience of a saint. I know what pad I used to play that game as a kid, as they're all covered in teeth marks :D
haha its funny as a few years ago i went to play it again and i couldn't handle it for hell. i remember beating it and asking my dad what i had to do next and he's like errr its finished :) god i must have only been 6 then maybe a year younger
Yeah, I can't play it now. Even the frame rate feels all jerky on it.
I loved this game as a kid and fully finished it but that was on the Dreamcast. I still remember the game being difficult to control but i loved it anyways. Haven't played it since maybe for the better...
hold on to those dear memories :)
This game was my childhood. I remember playing it on PC when I was 5-6. I loved it.
Howd i never seen this game before!! Cheers duuuude. Great video as always.
I hope we see a new Donald Duck game in the future. This game was my childhood dude.
I loved this game as a kid in 2000! I didn’t have a memory pack either so I could never save my game, but I still at 7 years old managed after trying over and over again to get to the final boss in the game :) good memories on a Saturday after the morning cartoons on Cartoon Network were over...I also played this game on the game boy color!!
Anyway, Glen, great review as always and thank you for being here for us N64 lovers :)
thank you :)
It is found that when the transparent plate with photo-detector matrix is installed before TV screen, the shooting game gun, which projects light beam through LED lense, could work on LCD/OLED screen with instant and precise aiming.
A good Crash rip-off that i really enjoy to play
Must say, you're pretty harsh on this, but it looks really good in your footage.
I can see why a teen or adult gamer first playing this would be disappointed but for me as a 5-6 year old (who hadn’t played Crash as I was an N64 kid) this was fun! While it doesn’t hold up as well today the way Quackshot or Ducktales do, I think it’s still a perfectly inoffensive game.
Quack shot was one of the first games I ever got given as a gift. Still one of the best Disney games and I’d love a sequel!
@@n64glennplant if Ducktales got a modern remake surely Quackshot can get either a sequel or a remake!
It was one of my favourite games on the N64, i think the controls were alright, but i may be wrong, haven't played it since i was a kid. Sure the later levels were hard, but i had a ton of fun (and sometimes frustration) playing through the whole game.
I LOVE GLENN PLANT
haha thank you :)
I played it when i was 10 or so and i tell you it was hard enough for me, but not too hard and i feel like that was the age group that this was aimed at.
Also: isn't that a little bit much critisicism for the game? It might be my nostalgia glasses but i felt like it was a solid game and i remember the soundtracks to this day.
Donald Duck Quack Attack is one of me favorite childhood games, everything was perfect on the Pc, sad that they fucked it op on the N64
played this on dreamcast and loved it
I did play it on the dreamcast, I did find it quite an easy game. Controls were quite good despite the analogue stick on the controller being not the best in the world.
I always loved this game...
Nice review, Glenn. Never played this.
might want to stay clear....goes for around 12 loose so miles better games to get instead!
I think this is the first game I've ever played,I must have been 5 but I still remember it perfectly and I gotta agree with you:this game was way too hard for me when I was a child and I actually stopped playing it because of the frustation but I still had lots of fun.
Game of the childhood :P
I grew up with this game. So I defend it. On the Nintendo 64 as well.
nice video glenn!
thanks:0
I guess I'm in the minority on this one, because I played it as a kid and really enjoyed it. I enjoyed the fact that the game actually talked at the important parts, unlike so many other games that were just text. I liked that there were 2 different types of platforming modes. When I discovered the time trials, I got determined and that was a challenge. I also didn't find the controls to be all that hard to use. My only issue was I didn't have a memory card to save it, so I would leave my N64 on for days because I didn't want to lose my data. Actually considering all I put my N64 through as a kid, I'm surprised it still works. But back to Goin Quackers. I really liked it. At some point I'll buy one of the many other versions and compare it to N64, but as it stands, I thought it was actually quite good.
yeah i think its down to age etc when you first played it, i never got this as a kid but if i had maybe i would have overlooked some of the striking flaws a little more easily
Ah memories.
I played this on the dreamcast recently. Its a really fun game
I remember seeing a commercial of this game back in either between 2000 and 2001, which I wanted it for the PS1, yet I never got the game until about late last year I think, and I agree. The game is really a poor man's Crash Bandicoot, as it plays almost exactly like Crash Bandicoot on the PS1, due to the gameplay, hub structure and level designs
thats what i said to people above before i read this post! hah great minds think a like :)
I just got this game recently, enjoyed it and felt that it controlled better than a lot of other N64 platformers. I was quite taken aback by your dislike of it. I wonder if Playing Powerpuff Girls prior had anything to do with my initial positive perception of it.
+GameEnthus not so much of a dislike but I didn't feel it offered too much. Like others pointed out it often feels like a poormans crash bandicoot
I completely agree that it is a Crash rip-off. I think that's what I liked about it. I never played much Crash so I was okay with it but I can see how that could turn others off. Either way, your videos are great - keep up the good work.
i only played the sega genesis game and its fantastic, great review
quack shot was amazing!
I only played the N64 version when I traded in the Scooby Doo: Classic Creep Capers for it. Compared to scooby doo's akward controls and camera angles I had no problem with this game and think it was entirely aimed at kids with linear platforming and simple secrets.
Hey Glenn this is random but is there a way to replay missions in Jet Force Gemini?
good question but i don't know the answer off the top of my head, I'm not a huge fan of the game so haven't played it in probably 5 years
Another great review GP! I wonder why they changed the name in the states. I would have bought Quack Attack, but Goin' Quackers just sounds like you'll be frustrated. Oh and the camera on the American version was rubbish.
Don't see why people have problem with this game being copy of Crash ? They made good copy so it's a good game.
On the subject of Disney, what do you think of the Castle of Illusion remake?
can't afford it yet but id really like it! i think it looks good IMO
I never knew this was on next gen consoles. Yes, everything after N64 is next gen in my mind.
I own this game on PS1 and PS2. I've yet to try the N64 version...
i loved this game! totally forgot about it
It looks ok to me; never played any version of this game. I'm getting it whether it's shit or not as it's part of the NA library :/
My friend had it for PC and we had a blast
Kinda miss playing this 😢
I love this game I played it on my pc and I am still playing it on the pc and on my ps1 emulator
I figured it out! You should give it another chance. I did and I'm addicted
stay tuned as I've a cool episode of the beta project coming out today which is a very cool game you should check out
For a n64 title the graphics look quite good
Looks pretty good and fun actualy.
I would say its a okay Plattformer i renember how often i was in rage because it was so hard back then. I had no memorypack so i started everytime from the beginning. Once i made it to the 3rd Boss that was a hard piece of work and it tooks hours for me.And guess what i died. Donald Duck was always my favourite Disney character and after playing this game, i understood why he is so angry all the time.
I haven’t played this version but I’ve played the GameCube version which I love
This game is completely harmless. It does an OK job at everything, but it's full of charm to me.
I know that you only really do N64 reviews, but I'd love to see if the GameCube or PS2 versions were better, and if the PSone version was worse.
I was replying to this comment, but then i realized it is 7 years old... from the old days, The Atari days.
This game was a nightmare to beat because of the sluggish controls. It took me 6 years to beat this game cause I never had a game pack for the N64 so after I completed the game, I was like, "that's it, I'm never playing this game again!"
Point on CG the N64 never had CG cut scenes for almost every game.
The main competition was PS1 and Dreamcast at the time not the that's practically nextgen to what the N64 was not fair to compare. Dreamcast at the time was a new console and while I did have it no one else did most people at the time had the PS1 or N64 if comparing to the PS1 edition then that version had worse graphics than the N64 it was always a toss up whether you wanted smooth filtered graphics or CG cut scenes.
While the N64 game didn't compare well to the Dreamcast , Gamecube , PS2 they were on more powerful hardware.
But then again you are right it didn't compare well to the other platformers on the console either
Disney games were great when Capcom or Sega developed them in the early '90's, but by the time this game came around, Disney games no longer had the pedigree they once did. Hell, not even Rare could make a great Disney game, as we saw with Mickey Speedway.
This may sound stupid, but this game was actually the very first item I bought after I signed up for an account on eBay! (that was sometime in the middle of 2012)
It was a game I missed out on as a kid, so I was very curious about it and interested in seeing if it was any good. Anyway, I enjoyed it for what it was, but you were right about it being too easy and the controls being occasionally frustrating. And that's unfortunate, being that I really wanted to like it more :\
whoa that was an interesting choice, I've done that also though...picked up weird games i never got around to as a kid....sometimes you win sometimes and more often than not you loose and get a dud game
*****
To me, it wasn't as much of a dud as it was just okay. I didn't think it was anything new or special, but I didn't hate it either :) Anyway, I picked up some better N64 games later on such as Duke Nukem Zero Hour, Quake (the N64 port is actually very underrated IMHO), etc. So, it's all good :P
they are all games im keen to get around to reviewing
Do you have to have the expansion pack for it to work
+Leonard Muscarella no
I've never played this game, but it looks a lot better than the review makes it sound. The levels don't look non-challenging, the level design don't look basic at all, and I didn't see a single example of bad controls.
I had this game on the ps2
As an N64 magazine you will no doubt remember there was the Nintendo Official Magazine. As a rule of thumb I would buy two magazines each month: the NOM and N64 Mag and would often compare reviews. If both magazines gave positive reviews to game, it was must buy. Slight discrepancies would need mulling over. But on a number of occasions, they were widely differing opinions where one would give a game an overwhelming positive review and the other completely slate it. NOM gave this and Tarzan a 90% whereas N64 magazine and several others completely slated it and rightly so. It was times like this that made me realise not only how biased NOM were but how great N64 mag were. I can understand NOM being the official magazine having some obligations to certain games in order to flog "perceived" popular games. But it still baffles me to this day that they would give this game a 90% (fulfilling their "Awesome: Must Buy" criteria)
Yeah you know if I remember correctly NOM also did a block on conkers bad fur day due to its adult content. If I remember they either refused to preview or review it or something like that
***** Re: CBD, I'm not sure I remember their stance on that although I vaguely remember them giving it the 90% + rating as an essential buy. But it says a lot about the credibility of their reviewers/writers if they could place the likes of Donald Duck and Tarrzan amongst the essential must buy games on the system.
I remember the Dreamcast version being rather good, actually. It even had true widescreen support, which was fairly unheard-of at the time. Let's face it, though: you didn't get an N64 for the multiplatform games - especially not those that were substantially better on other platforms. Quack Attack and Rayman 2 are two cases in which the Dreamcast versions obliterate the comparatively poor N64 ports.
What are you smoking? Rayman 2 is best on the 64.
What, with the horrible MIDI'd music, graphical downgrades and missing content?
I don't know how it's "missing content" or downgraded graphics if the N64 version was the first version of the game ever released. The Dreamcast and PS1 versions are ports of the N64 game.
Actually, the PC and N64 versions were developed simultaneously, and the PC version has the original soundtrack and graphics fully intact. If your entire argument was that the N64 version was the "best" version purely because it was the "first" version, then you're seriously misguided. Ubisoft exclusively uses the Dreamcast version as a basis for the newer ports of the game, albeit missing some optional mini-games.
Only the best because nobody cares about the Dreamcast.
Hey pal :-) great review.i agree These games were at their best in 2d. I think the fact that they are remaking the old games in hd I.e ducktails and castle of illusion proves it :-)
thanks fellas, yeah i haven't played either of those remakes yet but i think i want to !
This game was a game that i would play it a lot, but this only appear at the last years of the N64, And unfortunately i already sold my N64 for a quite time after this game release.
its like crash but with donald and poor controls ....still worth a play as always though!
Im 9 and I got an n64 on ebay and got some games and I like this 1
ah glad you like it! and you've started being an n64 fan young that makes me happy :)
Don't look at it like a Disney game, look at it like Crash Bandicoot for N64
Amo esse jogo fechei duas vezes
I did play it on PlayStation 2
I bought the n64 game as an adult. it was actually pretty hard. I gave up and sold it eventually
I thought I was the only one haha I played this game as a kid but got a game over in the third section/world (Magica) and would have needed to start the game from scratch, which was extremely frustrating (even more so considering this game is targeted towards children). For games aimed at children there should be an unlimited amount of retries/replay's otherwise it will get frustrating and unrewarding since the progress is just wiped out.
Chato! This game is great!
Love your channel.
plus good review
thanks kev
Was that music from tarzan untamed? I think it was!!! :D
JohnDman2020 not sure if it was used there too but the music here is from the game for sure
this game is good
i did know it, but it looks like crash bandicoot 3 of sort, right? i guess it looks better than ps1...or gbc XD
nice review as always, shame a game that should have been good but failed to live up to it like so many titles on the N64 ...yeah the glory days of the 16 bit era
yeah the 16 bit ere had its fair share of crappy games but there so many more to chhose from
i must get the new duck tales and mickey to check them out
awesome review bud.
sucks to hear the controls are bad, as i have always thought it was a good looking game. i'll prob still pick it up though, if i find it for a good price
yeah here in PAL its not all that cheap to get but certainly not a rare game by any means
Didn't find the controls bad at all. it's pretty basic movement. A to jump, analog stick to move.
The PAL PS1 and PS2 versions are cheaper.
I don't experience any problem with controls
I have no memory of this game! i want to try it out.
The problem doesn't seem to be simplicity. Simplicity allows versatility. What seems to me to be the bigger problem is that they used two styles, the more traditional 2D view and the Crash Bandicoot 3D style, which while simple had them designing two different kinds of stages rather than focusing on one style.
yeah, crash had both styles as well remember and that worked well, here it just seems like a poor mans crash (even though the actual cost was far higher!)
Great review Glenn :) It's such a shame that so many Disney licenesed games always get such a lax production, long gone are the days of Ducktales, Aladdin,Lion King and Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers! I'm so glad I had Banjo, Mario and Conker and managed to miss this game when I was a kid, can you imagine if this game was your first experience of a N64 platformer? ;P
man you'd never go back to the console again....it was ported to just about every console of the time though so it had like 5 versions on the market
***** Thats crazy is'nt it? Like 5 versions of this mess! It's insane how blind and greedy some companies are, you'd think they'd want to make something that would best represent them as oppose to knock out mindless tat! ;)
plus GBC which is actually a pretty decent but short game version
YoloGamingShow Eh.. The PS1 version was pretty decent. It was an easier Crash Bandicoot clone, but a good one nonetheless. The main problem with Disney games of the time was the easy difficulty. Otherwise they had some decent games. Toy Story 2 is pretty good for a PS1 game. It has a Mario 64 feel to it and a great sense of scale. You should try it. It also has a ton of versions.
toy story 2 n64 is already captured ill probably get around to writing the review for it in february after star wars month ends :) but yeah i agree about the difficulty of disney at the time
I demand remake for Wii-U
Yes switch 🙏
Ok why do you say its 2.5 d and not 3d...??
Because it’s 3D graphics but the playing field is always 2.5d
This one looks interesting. Sort of a combination of Rayman and Crash Bandicoot. Too bad it couldn't be as good as either.
yeah i think it tried hard to be crash but with rayman style graphics....and didn't pull either styles off
I played this one
You forgot to say that this game is an crash bandicoot rip-off
I remember I wanted this game when it came out. But never got it I felt disappointed cause she didn't buy it for me
this game is not bad, it could have been better and it should have. However this game reminds of the Crash Series Games on the PS1.
yeah they clearly wanted it to be along those lines but sadly crash is a lot better
I got this for 5 bucks here in the states, that it was going to be awful but it was some what enjoyable for the price I got it at. Of coarse at the time I didn't know there where better versions, but still I enjoyed it for 5 bucks :)
for 5 bucks any game is enjoyable. okay maybe not superman 64. or carmageddon 64 :P
***** Agreed. Any game but THOSE two are enjoyable for 5 bucks.
We might get another Donald Duck game man who knows. As long as they make it better than this game that's all that counts man. I've actually never heard of this game until I saw this video. It's too bad you don't recommend this game because it's based on a Disney character and just about everyone in the world absolutely LOVES Disney to death because of it's funny classical characters and moments. Maybe I should play Mickey Speedway USA then if this is the case.
The logo makes it look like there's a swear word in the title.
It's seems more of a n64 port problem.
this game is hard due to crappy controls? what game are you playing?
the only cheap deaths in this game was against the first boss
Lol really? I kept dying on that when i was a little kid but playing it recently i DESTROYED that boss and i was like WOW. I actually struggled against that? I must've sucked more than i thought but good to know that's not entirely true
Alex Fraser
I would GO 5-10 times before I would beat him
the others are just a joke really
Im glad i avoided this game back in the day. Its a shame though cause Donald is probably my favourite Disney character. Quack Shot was good but the best Donald game imho is Donald in Maui Mallard. Nothing beats Donald Duck as a ninja!
i don't think I've played that you know....
*****
You really should try it sometime. Though i think the eu version is kind of rare these days.
like most things super nintendo, the prices are crazy right now
***** Yeah i just checked ebay and my god a lot of sellers are insane... Maybe i should quit my job sell my snes collection and get rich! +_+
id estimate that my n64 collection is around £2500 ish now on private sale market ....i saw conked at 200 CIB last week and i felt sick....so many rip off resellers
it meant for kids
was an ok game =)
worth a play if you like crash games but not really for everyone is this
aye
Did you know that game made in morocoo by arabs developer in ubisoft casabalanca ?
a good game but for me its not quite up there as a classic
yeah it doesn't excel in any department
Crash Bandicoot anyone?
Too bad it's not a great game. I think if I played your video with the sound off, I'd want to buy it, the visuals looked like a promising 2d/3d platformer. I guess it got dumbed down for the young kids, the likely primary audience.
yeah the visuals are quite nice with the expansion pack but the controls are very sloppy and the camera doesn't help at all
So this is basically a bad version of Crash Bandicoot.
Quite a few similarities
It was too easy this game
Donald Duck is my favorite Disney character. Shame he never gets any good games...
have you played quack shot? thats awesome
I haven't, although I've heard of it. I'll have to check it out.
dude trust me you will friggin love it...one of the best games on the megadrive
Right on, I'll definitely give it a shot
Unfortunately, I don't think Quack Shot came out in North America. I played Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow on SNES a lot as a kid, it is pretty fun, and quite challenging.
Have to say that the music from this game got stuck in my head quite a few times... So I don't really know how it's not memorable.
Also, if the game is so easy, why in the gameplay the person playing never has more than just a few lives? :P
