Binding: Game Cartridge EAN: 0045496870072 ESRB Age Rating: Teen Label: Nintendo Manufacturer: Nintendo MPN: 87007 Platform: Nintendo 64 Publisher: Nintendo Studio: Nintendo Editorial Review: Editorial 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 recognize 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 James 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. James 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 Moneypenny. And the 3-D representation of locations and characters from the movie is very impressive. The Rareware team spent time on the set with digital cameras, and it shows. 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:

Rating: - Great game, great conditionThis is one of the most fun games I've ever played. I bought it used and it came out of box, however the shipper said this so it was just like the shipper said. It worked perfect, no problems, nothing. Great condition, great game! Rating: - I've put more hours into this game than I think is possible to keep track of.This game was certainly a welcome addition to the N64. When I first got this game as a kid, I was so excited because I loved James Bond. Luckily this is one of the few licensed games that will not smash your hopes and dreams, even more so, it goes far beyond what you could have hoped for. The graphics were great at the time. The soundtrack was straight out of the movie, which is good in my opinion. They really captured the essence of James Bond in this game, more than they have in any other James ... Read More Rating: - Nobody Does It Better- The Defining Console ShooterI have fond memories of this game, and still get together to play it with friends. Before GoldenEye, first person shooters were primarily PC affairs, played with a keyboard and mouse, and multiplayer required either internet or network capabilities, which, at the time, I didn't have. GoldenEye changed this. Just like Mario Kart, you could get four players hooked in. Except instead of bumping Bowser off a race track, you were running around and laying down the heat as Bond, or one of his allies/antagonists. ...
