5.0 out of 5 stars Goldeneye all over again November 2, 2010

By Maximus

Platform for Display:Nintendo Wii|Edition:Golden Controller Bundle

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

When it comes to videogames, there is nothing I enjoy more than a good remake of a classic game. I'd rather have a remake of a superb, 13 year old game (like N64's "Goldeneye"), than a new and original but lousy one. This has been done a few times before with great results: PS1's "Resident Evil" was remade (from scratch) for the Gamecube in 2002, PS1's "Metal Gear Solid" was remade (from scratch) for the Gamecube in 2004 (under the name "Twin Snakes"), and PS1's "Silent Hill" was remade (from scratch) for the Wii in 2009 (under the name "Shattered Memories"). This remake of "Goldeneye" is just as good as those. However, this is more than just a remake of N64's "Goldeneye" from 1997. This is like "Goldeneye" + "all the other cool stuff from the James Bond-franchise" thrown together in the mix and shaken (not stirred). Classic guns (including the golden one) and characters from past Bond-movies are playable in the multiplayer mode. These characters include:

-Jaws (That big scary 7'2'' tall guy with metal teeth played by Richard Kiel in "The Spy Who Loved Me" (1977) and "Moonraker" (1979))

-Francisco Scaramanga (Played by Christopher Lee in The Man with the Golden Gun (1974))

-Oddjob (The Hawaiian guy with the lethal hat played by Harold Sakata in Goldfinger (1964))

-Ernst Stavro Blofeld (This is the Blofeld played by Charles Gray in Diamonds Are Forever (1971).... Not the Blofeld played by Donald Pleasence or Telly Savalas)

-Baron Samedi (That scary voodoo-guy with the peculiar laughter and face-paint played by Geoffrey Holder in Live and Let Die (1973))

-Rosa Klebb (The dangerous little lady with the red hair and lethal shoe played by Lotte Lenya in From Russia with Love (1963))

-Red Grant (That blond henchman played by Robert Shaw in From Russia with Love (1963))

-Julius No (Played by Joseph Wiseman in Dr. No (1962))

The multiplayer is split-screen just like old times (up to 4 players), but an 8-player online multiplayer is also available. The single player story mode pretty much follows the same story as N64's "Goldeneye" from 1997. The only big difference is that you will be seeing the face and hearing the voice of Daniel Craig, rather than that of Pierce Brosnan. Personally I would have preferred Brosnan. Also, the rest of the cast (except Judi Dench) has been replaced by new "actors". Trevelyan, Ourumov, Onatopp etc. have different faces and voices than you see in the movie. Also here I would have preferred the old cast: Famke Janssen, Sean Bean, Robbie Coltrane etc.. But this isn't enough to ruin the game. Like I insinuated earlier, this is a remake made completely from scratch. This is not the Nintendo 64-game just printed onto Wii-discs. So you will have the pleasure of seeing the best graphics around. You can play this game with almost every controller ever released by Nintendo since the release of Gamecube: The Wii Remote with Nunchuk, Wii Zapper, Classic Controller, Classic Controller Pro, and the Nintendo GameCube controller can all be used with this game. I'm a bit old fashioned, so I prefer using the Gamecube-controller. Some parts of the story in this game are actually closer to what happened in the movie than the N64-game ever was. Like in that park in St. Petersburg when the identity of Janus is revealed, this time you will actually be sitting in the helicopter when those two rockets are fired. And you'll have to find a way to escape, just like in the movie. Some changes are made regarding locations I might add. The things that in the movie happened in Monaco, are here happening in Dubai, and what usually happened on Cuba is now happening in Nigeria etc.. I think this game is perfect as it is. Would have been fun with even more than 8 classic characters in multiplayer though. I am missing the likes of Auric Goldfinger, and I wouldn't mind having seen some of the newer characters like Jinx from Die Another Day (2002) and Solange from Casino Royale (2006) if you know what I mean :-). This game also lacks some of the humour that made the original so great. The AK-47 is among the weaponry here (wouldn't be Goldeneye without one) along with MP5 and SPAS 12, but nearly all the weapons have fictional names. Another thing that would improve this game: The original N64-game hidden somewhere like an easter-egg (just like "Maniac Mansion" was hidden in "Day of the Tentacle", and the original "Donkey Kong" was hidden in "Donkey Kong 64"). For example, in a video game arcade cabinet standing somewhere in that nightclub in Barcelona. I would even say this is the game of this decade (the 00s) I have been looking forward to the most, and for good reason. Oh, and unless you have been living under a rock the last 13 years, you know this is a first-person-shooter. The Collector's Edition of this game includes a limited edition Golden Classic Controller Pro, so what are you waiting for???

P.S. Is it just me or did they stop making games like "Goldeneye"(N64) and "Ocarina of Time"(N64)? Miss those times.... Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing remake! November 2, 2010

By THE PROD12

Platform for Display:Nintendo Wii| Edition:Golden Controller Bundle|Amazon Verified Purchase

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

this is an unbelievable remake! it's got everything you could ask for in a 1st person shooter game, online play, multiplayer, a great campaign mode, and all the characters of the previous N64 version. i was absolutely addicted to the 1st Goldeneye so naturally i had to get this one. it goes without saying that i was very impressed and have yet to stop playing it. i would be playing it right now, but i took some time off to write this review. if you're gonna get this game, get the Bundle that comes with the limited edition. the Gold classic controller is KILLER for this game. it gives you that same kind of N64 feel to it and is much easier to use than the wii and nunchuk combination. FIVE STARS HANDS DOWN! get it! it's worth every penny!

5.0 out of 5 stars Goldeneye reduex...not at all. But definately worth playing. November 2, 2010

By Steven W. Johnston

Platform for Display:Nintendo Wii|Edition:Golden Controller Bundle

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

I don't want to get too in depth review, I'm just going to cover the basics. Firstly, the graphics are great for a Wii shooter and have not had any issues with framerate so far. Obviously, don't expect other console standards of definition, the Wii simply won't add up. Last generation of gaming was all about upgrading graphics, these days it's all about the interface. Every possible controller option is availible for gameplay, to include the Wii zapper. I've been using the gamecube controller because I simply don't like the feel of the classic controller personally. The gold controller is very cool little marketing tactic for developers, but not a real dealbreaker for investing in the game. The controls for gamecube or classic controller are very up to date with modern shooter standards, and feel very natural aiming, shooting, and reloading.

I've only played the first few levels before taking a break and writing this review, and I can honestly say if you're looking for a Goldeneye64 reduex, this is not it. The first level, Arkanglesk Dam, has a couple key points from the original plotted in an otherwise complete revamp of the level. The Facility has almost nothing relevant from its previous version except for crawling in the vents above the bathroom. This is all very good and bad in my opinion. It simply feels awkward playing levels like the Facility and having it climax in a VERY unfamiliar setting compared to the iconic 64 version. Then again, unless it was a complete frame by frame update, I think nothing would surpass the expectations of Goldeneye fans. This game isn't trying to outdo the original game, which makes it stand up above all other Brosnan-era Bond games.... Games like Rogue Agent were trying so hard innovate and completely stand out from the series, it became flooded with outlandish sci-fi overtones.

And now for the multiplayer, the real meat and potatoes of the game. Online matchmaking is very fun, once you tweak the controller settings. The up down/left right is terribly sluggish on the default settings. The game layout is very basic, again, not trying to over reach its capabilities. Activision enplaced the standard XP leveling and unlocks for multiplayer, wich I think was not needed for this game. Gaming is fairly fast-paced and pulled off well. I have not tried the local split-screen, and cannot comment on its features.

Overall, this game is definately worth picking up. Don't buy the game expecting it to be total remake, but a new take on a classic while maintaining the overall fun of the original. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Goldeneye! Done much better. December 3, 2010

By Mr. Audio

Platform for Display:Nintendo Wii|Edition:Golden Controller Bundle

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

Let me start off by saying that nobody was more opposed to this game more than I was, especially when I heard that Activision had their greedy hands in the project. I was disheartened when I saw the footage prior to it's release that made the game look like Call of Bond. The only hope that the game had was that Eurocom was actually developing the game who happen to also develop The World Is Not Enough for the N64 which was the second Bond installment after Goldeneye and was a horribly underrated game that deserved way more attention than it got. So upon it's release I found it for rent at my local video store and took it home to see how disappointing is was going to be.

What you need to know going into this game is that THIS IS NOT A PORT OR A REMAKE OF THE N64 TITLE!!!! This game is a retelling of the Goldeneye story. This means the some of the actors are not the same including Bond and some others since it is not based directly off the early 90's movie like the N64 Goldeneye was. If you never liked Daniel Craig as Bond, you're gonna be cryin' about it through the whole game and probably should not buy it. I personally think that Daniel Craig is the best Bond to date, so I have no problem with any of the recasting.

The game is 100% Bond. Never before have you ever felt more like you were playing as James Bond. Just like any Bond you have objectives that need to be completed in order to progress. The game like other Bond titles gives you freedom to do what you want to do, and not make you do certain things a certain way at a certain time like Call of Duty does alot especially in Black Ops. You are totally in control.

So you've heard the game is just like Call of Duty. It's not. Like I said the game is 100% Bond.... It does take many great things that were done well in Call of Duty that have been set as the standard for many modern first person shooters especially when it comes to controls. Other things include AAA voice acting and story telling, ducking to heal instead of a health meter, and checkpoints. All these things are expected in all modern first person shooters these days, not just Call of Duty. The controls are very similar to Modern Warfare Reflex which IMO has the best controls out of any first person shooter on the Wii. That is it. That's the only way this game can even be remotely similar to Call of Duty.

Now that we got that out of the way, I am glad to tell you that 007 classic difficulty is available right off the bat. This means you have the health meter and need to acquire body armor to help preserve the health you have just like in previous Bond games. I've seen some hate reviews that fail to mention this. The only thing about this game that is a little off is that if you fail to complete mission objectives you still get to continue to the next mission, but it knocks you down to the easy difficulty. The game will tell you that you have not completed enough objectives to continue, yet it lets you do so and knocks the difficulty down WITHOUT NOTICE. This has been done most likely because many gamers have become such crybabies if they get held back and have to do something all over again. This way the crybaby gamers can be stupid and think they're really awesome and brag how they beat the game in one sitting, and you can play the game with a great deal of challenge. Everyone's happy.

Multiplayer. It's just as great as it was back in the day thanks to the updated controls and more complex maps compared to the N64 version. I didn't care for the online because I don't think online is very much fun to begin with. 4 player split screen IMO is so much better since the people are right next to you that you know instead of some stranger on the internet.

In conclusion, this is a stellar game. Not just for Wii, but a stellar game period. I'm glad that Eurocom and Activision decided to go this route instead of giving this game a simple resolution and framerate bump like what was done to Perfect Dark on XBLA. Instead they made a great new game that is better than the original after you remove the nostalgia goggles from your face. Read more ›
