The gameplay can be a bit wonky, and unless you understand Japanese, you will need to occasionally look up translated pages to understand how to play specific missions. But despite some jank, this game tries very hard to imitate the anime original, and in most cases, I believe it succeeds.

The models for the Eva Units and the Angels are all remarkable for a N64 title, and the small details within each mission and special scenes that can be triggered make the whole experience worthwhile. I wish the game were longer and the gameplay more consistent, but I imagine it might have grown stale if it was nothing but the 1v1 battles.

If you are a fan of Neon Genesis Evangelion, give this a shot. At worst, you'll be bored. At best, you'll have a fun time reliving key moments from the series.
