Nintendo 64 Rumble Pak Review

Holy cow, my hands are shaking!
Ah, I remember the day when I walked into Wal-Mart, saw Starfox 64 playing on the kiosk, and eagerly grabbed the controller... and to my astonishment, my hands were shaking with every explosion! I couldn't believe how much a simple battery operated shaking device could immerse me in the game, and it instantly ended up on my Christmas list along with Starfox 64 (which the the pak originally came bundled with, BTW).
Nowadays, the novelty of rumble has largely worn off, but it still remains an important part of gameplay in many genres. The shooter genre was somewhat revolutionized when gamers were able to sense every time a bullet hit them, and take cover accordingly without even needing to look at their health bar. Racing games let gamers feel the rumble of the rough off-road terrain every time they took a wrong turn... Rumble had existed before the rumble pak, but it was the rumble pak that brought this nifty technology to the console front, and made it a standard for every controller from that day forward.

good vibration
the cheap thing that the nintendo 64 didnt have was a rumple feature. But with this rumble pak, the vibration u get from it really depends on what game u r playing. Like in goldeneye 007, the more automatic weapons u get, the heavier the vibration is.
if u want the best vibration, i suggest get this pak and also buy Star Fox 64, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, and racing games.

I alway hated the fact that you had to snap on a rumble pak!
Yes!!! honestly i hated the fact that to get rumble you had to snap in your rumble pak, to get memory you had to take out the rumble pak!!! so even though i had a rumble pack ,i really never used it much, as for the batteries boy that really sucked,then the weigh of the whole thing took some time to get use to, it's not so special once you play with a cotroller with built in rumble / tremor / vibration.
N64 had it's time and when i had to use this technology i did!!!, now i think it sucks real bad, however it was blast kids i sure had my fun while it lasted!!!!,,, laterzzzz folks / gamers....

Cool Addition
The rumble pack was one of the greatest inventions to come out in the video game era. Now with the more updated systems the rumble function is built into the controller. That is not so with the N64.The Rumble Pack was introduced along side Starfox 64. When you get shot, hit someone, get hit, explosions, and many other actions will cause your controller to shake. It makes game playing a lot more fun. It's great in a football game where your sizing a guy up for a hit, you do it and then you feel the rumble. The controller will shake more if it's a harder impact. Lots of fun. There are some cons. You have to use batteries and you have to take it out to put your memory pack in. To me the cons don't come close to the pros and fun of the controller. If you have an N64 you must own a Rumble Pack. You won't regret it.

works well for me
Im glad i got this. It really makes me feel like im in the game. Its also small and fits perfect into the controler pak, and its excellent for any games, though please note that some games won't allow it, but any way, worth buying.
