Aidyn Chronicles: The First Mage for N64

This game is so terrible, its not even funny.
The game is a RPG with Quest 64 battle elements. Monsters appear in the overworld and when encountered, the game changes to a battle area in which each character and each monster has an area in which you can move and do actions.
Now, you would think this game would be awesome. It's LONG (100+ hours), lots of variety in characters, good graphics (for its time), and a HUGE overworld.
THIS GAME FAILS SO HARD
First off, if someone in your party dies in combat, THEY ARE GONE. FOREVER. The worst part is that THQ removed the item that revives dead characters right before release. FAIL
Second, in my experience, the stats system is fail. I was about 5 hours into the game, and I got to a boss fight that was nearly impossible for me. Why? My main tank had like a 10% chance of actually hitting the enemy, whereas the enemy had a 90% chance. It annoyed me to no end that I couldn't kill a simple monster and lost a character because attacks would always miss.
Third, the story is so bland. It turns into a quest to find the main characters
true name. I read the ending on wiki (can't post it here, don't want to spoil the game on accident), but I was amazed at how bad it was.
Basically, I hate this game with all my heart. It frustrated me to NO END that I stopped playing after about 20 hours.
