   Excellent game indeed. Who cares about the story when the game itself is fun as hell? Story mode has great amount of variation and the higher difficult level, the more objectives and other level chances you get. Challenge, Arcade Leagues and Mapmaker add A LOT of play time to the game, which will already have more than enough of play time, because the single player and multiplayer are great. The only bad things are weak weapons in the multiplayer and lack of checkpoints in the Hard difficult setting (You might be forced to do the entire level, if you die). Other wise, it's so damn good game you will be spending few years at least playing it before you start to get tired of it. Must buy game.… Expand

   Framerates are good, even in 4-person split screen, but this doesn't save this shoddy title. Look in the credits and you'll notice there's no one with the title "Designer" and it is completely obvious. The storyline is trite and amateur, even by gaming standards. The levels are of an embarassing quality and a thoroughly amateur design. The AI is passable but uninteresting. The character models are alright, but the animations are weak. I read all the reviews and was expected something of an exceptional quality (and always prepared to settle for just "OK") but not only was I disappointed, I was almost angered. Yet it's difficult to be mad when you are laughing at something so bad. Free Radical Design, and the sites that gave this much above my generous "6", should be ashamed. This feels like a game built in nine-months. As a game developer myself, it's extremely rare for me to return a game, but this one is going back to EB immediately.… Expand

   This game is good until you get to Atom Smasher on the hardest setting. Then you see all the grief the programmers loaded into this game. I beat both Golden Eye and Perfect Dark on hard without cheats but I've yet to beat Atom Smasher and have gotten to where I don't want to (it is simply not fun). I've decided this will be my last title from the programmers who created Golden Eye. I see they've lost all their creativity and are flat out using malicious tactics to make a game hard. On Atom Smasher you are timed because there are 4 or 5 bombs you must deactivate one after the other (only you must get scientists to deactivate most of them). The game play is so poorly done and so random that I was killed in 3 gun shots (I suppose 2 or more of them were to the head). This is crazy considering you have to fight 2 or more people at one time (so that makes it impossible to head shot everyone before they shoot you). Also, some times when you shoot some one the cross hairs will show you are over their head yet they won't die in one hit (This happens about 5 percent of the time). So, they expect you to be perfect when they aren't. What is worse you must use a magnet to diffuse one bomb by lifting it from its moving platform and by dropping it into a hole. When the magnet decides to lift the bomb is totally random like so much of this game. If random makes a game hard (and I mean by uncontrollable random) that is ridiculous. I want a game that can be mastered, I don't want to do the same crap over and over again because someone with a tiny imagination succumbed to randomness and flat out surprises, that is simply a waste of time. On the whole I would say these games are progressively getting worse. If I have to be a bot with picosecond reflexes to beat a game on hard its simply a waste of time. I have to overcome enough crap and grief at work. I don't go home to play games for more of it. There are other bugs in this game (which as a software engineer I can tolerate) but when hard setting is as difficult as this it is unacceptable. This game is best enjoyed by people who have no desire of fully beating a game and possibly by those with inhuman reflexes.… Expand
