What is the most ground breaking console video game?

[purbeast0]

I was just discussing this in an IRC chatroom, and my opinion on this is Mario 64 on the N64. This game when it first came out was the most ground breaking game IMO. it was the first game to truly utilize a 3D world where you could go anywhere and just had so much freedom. It was also the first game (i believe) to use an analog stick on a controller.

I remember the feeling I had when I played Mario 64 at Toys R Us a month before it was available to purchase at the little kiosks. I probably played it at toys r us for 10+ hours total.

No other game has ever given me that same feeling as I first had when playing Mairo 64. The game is just a masterpiece.

I'll say Super Mario Bros. because it helped spur the craze

I think it owes more to Doom and Quake than GoldenEye. It was originally going to be a PC game first, if you'll recall.

In recent time, I'd like to say Shemue. It was the first 'realistic' game.

Overall..hmm..Probably Super Mario Bros..or Mario 64.
