Goldeneye 007
Reviewed by Oddjob
Goldeneye 007. A true winner. i love EVERYTHING about this game,
graphics, sound, everything. It's been out for months now, and it is
the only game that everyone likes. Out of Rare (they made Donkey
Kong Country), Goldeneye comes out of nowhere with a bullet. Its
all here, the bond soundtrack, guns, sophistication, women, you
name it, its here. This is the one and only movie to video game release
that works. Maybe it is because rare took 2 years to make it-after
the release of Goldeneye in theaters. This game leaves nothing behind,
from the multiplayer mode (hours of fun) to the single player 20 level
bonanza.
Graphics 9.9 out of 10
Ahhhh, the Goldeneye graphic system. Imagine this: real time animation,
realistic character movements, and, for once, TRUE HIT DETECTION! Aim
for an enemy's head, and POW he is no more. Aim at his foot, Pow, he
hunches over. Shoot him in the butt-he jumps. Speaking of realistic
movements, enemies swat at flies, yawn, walk the halls, have a conversation
with another guard, sneeze (never seen that one, but I've heard it), and, yes,
even scratch himself. Hows that for realism?
Music and Sound 10 out of 10
The original Bond movie soundtrack, in all its glory. Enemy grunts,
explosions, gunfire, and overall sound effects are superb. All I can s
ay are two things: Play It Loud, and use surround sound!
Game Play-Fun 11 out of 10
The funniest game I have ever played. Mainly due to three things- advanced
AI, advanced hit detection, and the illusion that you really are Bond.
Rumble Pak 10 out of 10
Gunfire recoil, explosions, getting hit, its not the same game without
the rumble pack. Trust me. Oh yeah- buy lots of AAA batteries, if you
like this game as much as I, you'll need 'em.
Frustration
Ok, Ok. I'll admit it. I thought it was easy. I was wrong. Just try protecting
Natalya on 00 agent. Good luck. Or try Aztec on 00 agent. Not too mention
getting invincibility- just remember location, location, location. Have fun.
I threw my controller on the ground many a time- like I said- invincibility,
anyone?
Replayability 9 out of 10
Beat it on Agent. Beat it on Secret Agent. Beat it on 00 agent. No problem
here. You'll be playing for days-unless, of course, you happen to be God.
Game Value 100 out of 10
Yes, I know that says 100. BUY THIS GAME!!!!! Now!
Multiplayer capability 10 out of 10
Buy 4 controllers. Buy 3 friends. Have fun for days. My only gripe-why
can't you play all the levels on 4 player? Slowdown. *sigh*
Overall 9.9 out of 10
Best Game Of All Time? So far, yes. Play it!
