7.1 out of 10

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mace pits ten main characters (plus two bonus and two more hidden) in a battle to recover the Mace of Tanis, a magical artifact that can restore order and peace to their lands which have run rampant with disease, murder and chaos. Behind this corruption lies Asmodeus, a dark magician who thrives on the anarchy and pain of the world and who, incidentally, also holds possession of the Mace. As expected, the best fighters from around the medieval planet (Europe: A.D. 1300) are gathered and dispatched on a quest to recover the mysterious Mace, and thus, the game begins.

Internet Reviews:

Mace: The Dark Age probably isn't going to blow anybody out of their seats. The graphics, despite a few minor drawbacks, are clean and good looking. The gameplay is standard and unoriginal, but once again, not bad. When it comes down to it, Mace has succeeded in beating Dark Rift as the best fighter for Nintendo 64, but that's nothing to celebrate. A little more time perfecting framerates and tweeking control could have gone a long way.

from Peer Schneider
This is a pretty good arcade conversion, but I think control, faster response times and smooth framerates are more important than background detail in a fighting game. Mace goes overboard in trying to give players more arena interaction -- but all that added glitz detracts from the fighting and slows things down. Still, a nice looking fighter with a decent fighting system, but nothing special. Rent.
