Video Games : GoldenEye 007 (N64)

Rating: - Bored, very bored.
This game seems universally accepted as the finest fps of its generation, which is probably deserved as it invented many of the conventions that modern shooters still utilise.

However, for a number of reasons it simply wasn't for me. Firstly, as a cartrige based game it has none of the witty dialogue associated with the Bond franchise. Secondly, and perhaps the issue with all games of this genre, the gamplay is very repetative. Shoot, shoot, shoot, duck, shoot, die, switch off...and so on.

My advice: if you don't like first person shooters then there is nothing here for you, if you do, then you are bound to be shaken and stirred in equal measure.

Rating: - Like everyone else, I have my happy memories
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!

Rating: - I CAN'T FIND THE WORDS!!!
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!!!
