Goldeneye 007 is based on the movie by the same title. single player...you against the computer where you must complete numerous objectives to advance from one stage to another and fill up your passport of levels recorded by the difficulty.

The single player mode will keep you busy for hours, but the multi-player mode is what makes this game so awesome. Me and 3 friends back then used to spend hundereds of hours shooting and blowing the crap out of each other. i remember the time the four of us played on the bunker level with infinate ammo and yes...you guessed it...proximity mines (alot of proximity mines) so many in fact we spent hours just hunting them down as we moved in on each other with a pistol to hand. it got better thou, it got to a point that whenever we spawned our man veg got blown half way across the room before you even realised what happened and this was all too much for one friend in particular who decided to rip his 64 from the cables and launch it out the window and smashing his dads windowscreen. its them sound memories which did it for me!! There is a wide assortment of weapons to choose from and environments to fight in.

The battles can accommodate up to four players. The screen divides into two or four sections. This makes the field of view a little hard on the eyes, but i used a massive tv.

The graphics were the nuts in 1997 and the sound efffects were the best for shoot em'ups @ the time. but what I remember most are some of the AI features. Enemies would react to you in a variety of ways, most notably, they would hop on one leg if you shot them in the foot or stumble around dumbfounded if you shot their hat off their head OR shoot them in the man beans...many many times (never got boring). Furthermore, you could zoom in using a scope on your sniper rifle, taking out enemies from vast distances. That was the first first-person shooter that I saw with such a feature.

Every hardcore veteran remembers the time and pain of getting those two achivements INFINATE HEALTH and INVISABILITY. my god how many hours of my life did i spend trying to get those but heck that was all part of the fun.

There was a wide assortment of weapons, old, modern and sci-fi, exactly what you would expect from a 007 game. There were many cheats that could be unlocked by earning certain achievements in single player mode, such as infinite ammo and all weapons and the two hardest ones mentioned earlier.

To me goldeneye64 is the reason i love and play games like halo or cod, halo more so because i'm such a halo freak and devote most of my time to killing as many noob halo clans that call themselves names like xxxxsniperforeverxxx and xxiteabagyourmumxx.

In essence i know when i play a great game like goldeneye because i would rather stick it on for the day than eat,sleep,piss or acknoledge my girlfriend is even alive in the same room.

Goldeneye 007 is pretty good, I like the game story. Pretty good game and good job on the review.
