Well this game is pretty much a totally linear shooter.It's all First person.The goldeneye is kool you get upgrades as you get further into the the game.You can see through walls,you can disable enemy weapons,and control out of reach switches,and you can have a shield which absorbs all bullets and is resistent to all guns but the OMEN Rifle.And finally you can use magnetic force to throw an enemy or pull him to you,which instantly kills him. A total of 4 goldeneye upgrades. The only negative about the eye is it's power drains very,very quickly.You have to crouch and wait for it to recharge ,which takes too long to recharge.I wish the charge lasted longer .I rented this game and beat it in 3 days on Normal setting.The first levels are pretty easy .But as soon as the OMEN rifle appears it gets harder and harder.This rifle can take you out in one shot even with your goldeneye shield activated. This game is a straight forward shoot everything that moves,totally linear,no vehicles to drive,no bond gadget type things,except for your eye.The Goldeneye.It's kool to use your eye to see through walls and use your rail gun to take out a hiding enemy.Also you can double weild weapons,there's many good combinations that work very well.The story line is pretty kool,but no real big plot twists.The graphics are bright and colorful.I like the fire dragon level ,pretty kool.This is just a basic no brainer shooter ,with the additon of the goldeneye.Which is kool but quickly drains of power and slow to recharge.But this game is still fun and exciting shooter,with some nice graphics,although the wall designs are old school blockyfeel. Remember first doom game wall style.But some levels are very colorful sometimes I wanted to take a minute to look around and take in the eye candy ,but enemies were coming at me all the time.Most of the weapons work well if combined right.Some weapons freeze an enemy then you can walk up to him and use him as a brief shield.The A.I. seemed a little smarter than most games I've played they would say things like he's reloading ,advance to his position,or he's taking cover,or he's using his shield.And I played it on NORMAL mode.There's also ONE LIFE mode after you beat it on HARD mode.All in all a solid shooter thats just straight one way to go linear FPS.

This is the latest bond game from EA games and maybe one of the best when it comes to graphics and game play, Though I wish you could drive a tank or a car in the game. The game starts out really easy than in the middle you start to die a few times. The weapons are really cool and there are some strange ones as well. AI is done very well, you can hear enemies talk about what guns you have and your current position. It gets kinda scary when enemies shoot rocket launchers at you. You have to shoot down too many helicopters throughout the game, it isn't too bad though. Also, there are weapons laying around everywhere, and your standard pistol never runs out of ammo which is kinda cheap. I like throwing people off buildings and taking people hostage. Overall, it's an excellent game with superb graphics. full out shoot-em-up game. The game also has a really cool sniper rifle, which is my fav. weapon.
People hate that it takes a few seconds to reload, but when you think about it, its more realistic. And when you have a gun that requires 2 hands, you cannot throw a grenade or use your other hand which is more realistic as well.
Very cool game, buy it!

Great first person shooter awsome weapons the duel weapons,one in each hand works alot better than it does in halo 2.I like the health recharge as in halo.The enemy inteligents is great they charge when reload,duck or roll when you throw grenades and lots of other intresting stuff.You will never find yourself short on weapons or ammo you get them early and often.Bottom line I had a heck of lot better time playing this than the over rated Halo 2(i did love halo 1 and still do).If your a shooter fan ya better get this one!

This game is more like an arcade game, it could have been better, if it wasn't rushed.

This game is just a shooter. No thought whatsoever. Just kill as many guys as possible...BORING. I threw it away after 3 hours of play. SUCKS! I'd give it a zero but there is no zero! Don't waste your time on this one!

While they have taken a name of one of the James Bond films, you do not play as Bond, but an ex-MI6 agent. In this game, take several of the James Bond films and put them into the same year, meaning multiple bad guys and characters are in this from different films, including Goldfinger, Dr. No, Miss Galore, Oddjob, Xenia Onatopp, Scaramanga, and a few others, including James Bond.

Story: You are an MI6 agent. 3 years ago, you were shot by Dr. No in the eye. Since then, you have sought vengeance and resort to violence and brutality to get what you want. After an evaluation at MI6, you are dismissed and you accept an offer from Goldfinger to join his organization. You are given a cybernetic eye implant from Scaramanga (Goldfinger's Q wannabe) that is golden in color, hence your new code name GoldenEye. You are tasked with multiple missions for Goldfinger, but you find out you are betrayed in the end.

Gameplay: You perform 1st-person shooter type missions in multiple locations throughout the 007 world, including the Dam, Casino, Octopus, Volcano, and many others. Your cybernetic eye is a weapon and you get upgrades almost every level from MRI to Telekinesis, and multiple hacking upgrades and a computer virus. You get standard weapons from the Bond series and you can use multiple weapons to get to your objective. You take on baddies such as Xenia, Oddjob, Dr. No, etc.

Conclusion: while the game is fun and enjoyable, it is short lived and mediocre. The game plays like it was trying to build on the success of the original Goldeneye game on the N64. It falls short in almost every aspect, but being in the 007 world is still fun and all the characters make the game unique. A sequel was planned but soon cancelled from the poor sales and reception of this game. A game that goes through the various 007 world from all the movies does sound like it could be an awesome game, but this isn't what fans are looking for. Maybe on the Xbox 360 or PS3, they can make an RPG type Bond game that goes through all the movies, villains, locations, lovers, etc. Worth playing through once, but I didn't want to play it again. Almost no replay value.

I am an avid video game player, so please take heed to my words if your thinking on purchasing. Even though it is a James Bond game, it absouletly sucks. I ahve probally played every game out there, and this low on the list
It's like they took F.E.A.R. and made it James Bond, and added a little daylight and took away the girl and blood. This game lacked everything a action game needs. Lame, lame, lame.

Ok one of my fraternity brothers bought this game and I had asked for it for christmas. I played a few levels in first player and it seemed promising. Then some of the guys brought their controllers in to play multiplayer. This is where the game really let me down. The levels are choppy and the controls are very delayed.... not the fast action of Halo. There are some neat traps within the multiplayer levels but doesn't make up for the terrible game play. Main idea of this review is to let the other people know that they should stick to Halo or better yet Halo 2....

This new Bond is stupid. You're not even 007 to start with. Also it just does not ring true with the Bond theme to be bad, James Bond is supposed to be the good guy, while in this, the main highlight is shooting innocent people. The pathetic idea of dragging in two ancient Bond villains, who died, to war against each other is so incredibly moronic that it ruins the entire gameplot, reducing it to mindlessly shooting random people. Extremely disappointing, permanently damaging Bond's reputation.

It's a decent james bond game, WAIT, O YEA, You're not James Bond! That Blows! Apparently you're some bad MI6 agent with a mysterious gold eye that has special powers. Thats kinda stupid but I do have to give them props for bringing it back to FPS instead of that third person crap. This isn't as good as the N64 version, actually this game has nothing to do with the original goldeneye. Pros: 1. Its back to a FPS 2. Good Songs 3. Xbox live 4. Duel wielding Cons: 1. You're not James Bond 2. Its not really spy, its more run and gun 3. The story line sucks 4. It has nothing to do with the original goldeneye
