Very, Very Bad
Virtual Chess 64 is really one of the worst N64 games ever made. I have always enjoyed playing chess, but I would much rather play on an actual board than in this game. First of all, I could never figure out how to change the difficulty level of the computer. To this day, I have never beaten the computer on any level or even been ahead of it. I'm not an incredible chess player, but I am really not that bad! Whether I selected beginner, level 1, level 2, or any level up to 10, the computer always played perfectly and made the same moves.
When I first started playing, I was looking forward to the virtual graphics. In order to see the small movies of one piece comically taking another, you must play in 3-D mode. However, in 3-D mode, the viewing angle is so slanted during regular play that you can barely see many of the pieces.
Overall, Virtual Chess 64 is not very much fun at all. Anybody interested in playing a fun electronic chess game should get Chessmates, an extremely fun and educational chess computer game.
