Retronauts had an episode on it. It was a very ugly game using the horrible donkey Kong country rendering technique so managed to look even worse than the first game on SNES. Also if you played it as a straight platformer it was very easy and could be beaten in 2 hours. It never clicked with me.
However the person on Retronauts said there was tonnes of hidden stuff in it. It wasn't about finishing levels but exploring them which would unlock lots more hidden stuff. The mechanics to do this however were kind of obtuse and you needed the manual to figure it out.
I'd like to try it again and play it properly but I doubt it will match the original.
It definitely got a euro release but reviewed poorly. Most reviewers didn't realise how to play it properly and said it was a game for babies. After hearing how to play it properly I can't really blame them for thinking that way!

I can see its flaws, but name a console FPS released around the same time that's still fun to play?
Disruptor on Playstation. Great campy sci-fi FMV sequences and a really fun, if basic, shooter which still holds up because it focused on the Doom template for the most part and played to the limitations of the system.
Think it was one of Insomniac Games first releases too, and it still looks half-decent.

Doom on the Saturn was indeed disgraceful but the plays ration port was great and doom 64 was really good.
I played turk on pc and n64 recently and was surprised it was quite a lot of fun.
Goldeneye on the other hand I find it hard to go back to. The framers is criminal and there's a few really badly designed levels. The tank level on particular is a total stinker.

It was no F-zero but I really liked it.
Was actually saying recently, the best Episode 1 based game was probably the arcade "Pod Racer" game, with the dual thruster controls.0 -

I was dumbfounded the PS2 kept the 2 controller port design after how well the N64 did. Meant the PS2 was never really used for multiplayer while the Xbox and especially the Gamecube was dragged out to every party.

Bomberman 64. A decent bomberman game. Lousy single player but who the hell plays that. the main issue is it's only 4 player. not a patch on 10 player Saturn bomberman or even 5 player bomberman '93 on the PC Engine/Turbografx 16.

Glover was one of the best and criminally ignored platforms on the n64. I'd take it over any of the rare games.
Also rocket on wheels was amazing. The team went on to make the sly racoon series.

Kirby 64. There's two types of Kirby game. When Kirby is tandard Kirby you get good games. When Kirby is weird Kirby you get exceptional games. Kirby 64 is unfortunately the former.
