Virtual Chess 64 could have been stunning; instead it's merely a video-game stalemate.

It�s a shame there aren�t any alternate boards or unique pieces here, but the standard Staunton set looks very nice. Utterly horrid music and about four hackneyed sound effects give you a great excuse to concentrate in silence. You can rotate the board, but only in one direction�why not use those other buttons for more complete control? The tutorial�s great but slow, and the fierce computer A.I. offers ample challenge to players of all levels. It�s a shame the chess clock sometimes freezes, and the four-player option is pointless.
