Amazon.co.uk Review
GoldenEye 007 has been a huge success for Rareware, and it's easy to see why. More than a simple movie translation, this has earned its top-seller status on its own. Fans of Doom and Quake will recognise the first-person shooter perspective, but there the similarity ends. James Bond 007 has too much style to simply blast everything in sight and move to the next level. No, as 007, the player has a variety of different missions to perform, each with its own specific objectives. Each mission follows the film closely, and so Bond must use stealth and cunning as much as brute force. But if you see a Kalashnikov rifle lying around, by all means pick it up. Controls are easy to master, which is impressive considering the variety of actions the onscreen hero can perform. Bond can run and walk at variable speeds, duck, pivot, hide, attach mines to enemy helicopters, block doors from opening, and more. The optional auto-aim feature is especially nice. Of course, James Bond is proficient in a wide variety of weapons. You get to use them all, from the trusty Walther PPK (with silencer) to double sets of full-auto machine guns. The game's faithful tribute to the Bond legacy includes briefing dossiers on each mission, complete with wisecracks from Q and flirtatious comments from Miss Moneypenny. And the 3-D representation of locations and characters from the movie is very impressive. One of the distinguishing features of the game is the outstanding artificial intelligence of the enemies. When attacked, squads will rush to hit the alarm. If they make it, reinforcements come running. Enemy soldiers respond to being shot or blown up with chilling realism. According to Rareware, there are over 30 different animation routines that come into play, depending on where the soldier is hit. For those who prefer the challenge of human opponents, there are six clever multiplayer modes where up to four players can shoot it out, as teams or solo agents. With excellent gameplay, intelligence, and style, GoldenEye 007 is a first-person shooter that'll keep you coming back for more. --Jeanne Uy Pros: - Built-in save capability for up to four players
- Auto-aim feature helps novice players feel like a sharpshooter
- Rich, complex gameworld filled with detail and variety
- Great bonus missions
Cons: - Sometimes cinematic scenes for fulfilling mission objectives are a bit anticlimactic

Like everyone else, I have my happy memories April 27, 2008
T. Clarke (UK)
I have absolutely little to say that hasn't already been covered. But for those who want the most concise review possible...
- It's based "very" authentically around the hit 007 film Goldeneye.
- Each level is based around a certain part of the film.
- The graphics for the time were ground-breaking.
- It's been voted numerous times as The best multi-player game ever; something you can only truly discover after playing it.
- The replay value is excellent
- Plenty of cheats to unlock amongst many difficulty levels.
My own memories surround the multi-player death matches to which we would all insanely use our own tactics to gang up against other mates. Perhaps the reason this game stands out is because its so un-complex. In the same way that Mario Kart 64 had simple controls and arena's for Multi-player, Goldeneye follows in a similar trend.
I could go on forever - but i'm not! I'm just hoping to god this comes out for the Wii Virtual Console soon!

how can you define a game that marked a new era, a new beginning? A game that revolutionised the entire gaming concept with its graphics and gaming style? How do you put in words what you felt when you saw/played this game the first time? How do you do it?
The graphics were impeccable then. I remember how clear the detail was with the surrounding environment. The windows, the walls, the vehicles, the weapons... EVERYTHING! And that was not it! The storyline was so entertaining, the levels were so good you just wanted to play more and more!!! To top it up, you could play MULTIPLAYER against 3 MATES and you could UNLOCK carachters by completing parts of the game... this game goes BEYOND perfect!!!
Does anyone else struggle to describe this AWESOME unique game? :P
ahh... the good old days!!! :)
EDIT: the reviews are self-explanatory!!! you don't see many products out there that have a 4 star review as their lowest review!!!
