I like the James Bond movies (Pierce Brosman is my favorite 007). I don't have played this game yet... But the GoldenEye Cover looks pretty cool with explosions and that stuff... But I wait for the review before I decide if I buy it...
Hopefully it'll come out for VC
@ LGamer: You've never played it?! Oo
...and you need to wait for another review of it to decide whether to get it or not? There's like hundreds of way positive reviews all around the internet. Go get it now.
I have played this game. If you would like to read it, this is my review.
ONE word describes this game: awesome.
Explosions, guns, fighting, guns, bosses, all of this just like the movie, and more.
There are, I believe 30 levels. The levels are sweet and they have beautiful graphics for the 64. The game also has fun cheats, which you can use with the four player. And the multiplayer levels are cool, too. The guns, from the M16 to the super-powered Golden Gun, are sweet too.
So, this game, if you are thinking about getting this game for the N64, get it!
I feel that this game is better than Halo 3 in my opinion.
-Rally
I still play in on the old N64!
2nd best shooter i've ever played in my life on any platform
(nr. 1 = Perfect Dark )
@nasachi GoldenEye started it all and is way better than Perfect Dark.
great game!
i have golden eye and perfect dark, and golden eye is better. when you think about it, golden eye was the first popular fps, and it single handedly started the first-person shooter genre!
@marioman5: single-handedly my foot -- Wolfenstein 3D and Doom came long before Goldeneye.
WAIT IS NOT COMING OUT FOR VC?????!!!!!
@ruthlesscoolman: of course not... this is a retail release.
beastly, just beastly.
@ marioman5
....come again? Check your (gaming) history books again, please. Wolfenstein 3D had that honor.
You're all wrong, Maze War came first
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maze_War
I beleive Mrioman meant that Goldeneye is what started the FPS multiplayer craze, at least for consoles.
then cam Halo
Great game:) when is it coming to VC?
I have GoldenEye and still play it to this day
