3.0 out of 5 stars Factory Reloads February 27, 2012

By Gregory John Ranzoni

Platform for Display:Xbox 360|Edition:Standard

Fun: 3.0 out of 5 stars   

GoldenEye was the Nintendo 64's staple game for the console and sold over 8 million units, long before Halo and Call of Duty, Rare's GoldenEye could show that console based FPS games can be enjoyable. With the movement of retro gamming in the Video Game Community GoldenEye was an obvious game tapped for an HD remake for the current generations of consoles.

However GER is not a remake, it's a reimagining. Unlike the HD remake of the original Perfect Dark that was just a graphical up grade, GER was built from scratch.

Daniel Craig replaces Pierce Brosnan, in fact with the exception of M, the entire cast is replace, there's no Sean Bean, no Famke Janssen, no Izabella Scorupco, even Joe Don Baker is missing. Because of the recasting, the time line of the game is bumped up to the present, the game taking place sometime after `Quantum of Solace'. The order of the levels is also rearranged, the statue level is AFTER the archive level and the location of the secret GoldenEye Station is moved from Cuba to Nigeria and the motivation of Alec Trevelyan is changed from an Lienz Cossack that wanted revenge to an idealistic anarchist.

Outside of the single player campaign, which only takes about takes about twelve hours, I beat it in two days, there is also a selection of challenge maps: elimination, stealth, etc. Along with the usual package of multiplayer maps.

Dose this equal a bad play experiences? No it doesn't, GER is a good game, but it's not a great game

Some of the game play elements include the Halo "Two weapon" rule along with a pistol that Bond can not swap. The game contains a "classic oo7 Experience" difficulty where your health dose not regenerate and you must rely on body armor to get yourself alive. When Bond ducks behind any low objected for cover he will pop up when using iron sites on what ever gun is being used. There's a host of weapons to chose from, oddly very little gadget use (the most used gadget is of all things, a cell phone). Combat is both smooth and challenging. The games quick time events are somewhat confusing, using just the left and right trigger and sometimes the b-button, however they are thankfully few and far between. Stealth, although not emphases, can be an important part of the game, if you are sneaky and just used your silenced pistol, you can clear out a whole area that only has five or six baddies instead of shooting through twenty in a prolong shoot out. The tank mission is easier to navigate and officers more things to blow up and as dressing the graphics, although not as good as they could, are eye pleasing with smooth facial expressions.

Most of the issues that I have with this game are cosmetic and the ideal of "if it an't broke don't fix it." I did find this game easier to play then the original N64, but it negates the efforts of the pervious James Bond.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing of what was expected: They Stole the Good Name November 6, 2011

By Doug Buchan

Fun: 1.0 out of 5 stars   

First of all, I've had this game on pre-order since mid-year. The N64 version constituted my childhood. This was the first person shooter that we came home from school on Friday's just waiting to play. This was the all night pizza party/sleep over game. This was grade school bliss. To this day as a college grad we still sit down once every other month or so to play N64 Goldeneye. I couldn't WAIT for this game to be out on Xbox 360 and re-live the glory in high def.

So last night I unboxed Goldeneye, ordered pizza, had my friends over and we all anticipated reliving our favorite N64 game with new gameplay and hi def graphics.

The game started with no familiar intro or music. The menus we're re-done of course and looked good. Mounting excitement led to our first round of disappointment when multiplayer asked us to 'pick our class.' Huh? Goldeneye is supposed to have multiplayer weapons sets for the whole team, not individual classes! Where are grenade launchers or proximity mines, pistols or power weapons?!

Next we noticed that there were no 'game modes' like 'you only live twice' or 'license to kill.' So we thought 'ok, we'll do it manually.' But you can't even handicap your health down to 0 for a license to kill effect. So there's no old school game modes or even a way to re-create them!

So okay, no weapons we like and no game modes. But at least there's the characters right? It's GOLDENEYE afterall! SO we each have always played the same character. Odjob, Travelyen, Zenia, and Helicopter Pilot. Of the above, Odjob is the only one still existent. No Travelyan in GOLDENEYE?! How? He's in the movie!

And the final multiplayer nail in the coffin was the maps. Only one or two maps were the same. Facility was one of our favorite old ones and was in the new version. So we chose that map and our new character, weapon sets, and game mode (at least the map will be the same, right?). WRONG! The map isn't facility at all. It's a square room with ramps everywhere and two glowing plasma tanks in the center of the room. No thought, no effort, not even close to the Goldeneye story line or the N64 game. Terrible, lame, boring map.

So I'm already saying I'm going to sell this game....but wait. There's single player. Maybe that will be better.

I switch to single player while my friends watch to see if the game has a saving grace. The game starts with a tutorial level that you can't skip. Boring, lame, and unecessary. Then it progresses into the Dam level. Ok, good, so the level order is at least the same. But then the level starts and you're playing with an AI travelyan. He's guiding you and telling you what to do! What the hell? Thats not how it's supposed to be. The game play continued to deviate from the original and get worse as I played.

I'm so disgusted with this game that I feel bad even re-selling it. I've had it open less than 4 hours and I've already got it posted to sell. Shameful to use the Goldeneye franchise name on a featureless first person shooter. Stick to Battlefiled 3 and COD MW3 for your kicks this holiday season. Fail

3.0 out of 5 stars The nostalgia quickly fades November 20, 2011

By Scott Perdue

Platform for Display:Xbox 360|Edition:Standard

Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

I was super-psyched about this game since it was announced. Goldeneye 007 for Nintendo 64 was my bread and butter when I was a kid. I knew that this "remake" was going to be quite a bit different, but I welcomed that.

When I started playing, I quickly realized how much the game plays like Call of Duty. That's a good thing. Unfortunately, it's not enough like Call of Duty.

First of all, Bond's hand looks very smooth and cartoon-ish - obviously a remnant from the Wii conversion. The graphics are decent in general, but it seems like they could have spent a little more time on making something that's always on the screen better.

The campaign mode was pretty fun, albeit redundant. The stealth portions are a blast, but the rest is pretty formulaic: Enter room, tons of guys come out, kill them, proceed to next room, repeat.

My biggest gripe with the game is that it seems that enemies can shoot you through walls. Time after time, I'd duck behind cover only to continue being shot to death.

The multiplayer - the best part of the original - is a letdown. I had trouble getting a game together, probably due in part to the overabundance of game modes. If you're expecting N64 multiplayer on Xbox Live, think again. When I did get a game, it really wasn't much fun.

My recommendation: Rent the game, play through the campaign, then return it. If you want N64 nostalgia/multiplayer, download Perfect Dark from XBLA. It's what this game should have been.
