    One can't go without mentioning the fantastic multiplayer mode. Unlike PC shooters, where ambush seems to be the name of the game, GoldenEye concentrates on fast, frantic fun. Everyone can see each other's screen, and radar is provided for additional assistance, so hiding is a virtual impossibility.

    Without a doubt, an experience like no other.

    This is probably the best game you can get on the Nintendo 64.

    We can say with a clear conscience that Goldeneye 007 is the best single-player first-person game on any system.

    Is Goldeneye 007 another great game by Rare, Is 007 the best first-person shooter on any next-generation system... my answer is HELL YEA!

    Fans of N64 and PC games used to compare Goldeneye to games such as "Half Life," which is remarkable because Goldeneye was not only older, but running on hardware that was vastly inferior to a $2500 PC.

    Would give it an 11 if I could. This game is one of the most revolutionary games ever made for any system. As you can tell w/ all of the great reviews, playing Goldeneye should go on your 'Things to do before you die' list. If you haven't played, you're missing out. The reason why this is a great game is hard to put your finger on, but I think it's the great story and addicting gameplay which seperates this from the rest. In my opinion, this is the single greatest 1st person shooter game ever. I don't think anything will ever bring it down. Perfect Dark was a decent attempt to reproduce it, but the story was too confusing and wacky. MUST HAVE GOLDENEYE!… Expand

    Mr. Koolaid is completely and utterly a waste of genetic material. Goldeneye is the reason that great games like Perfect Dark and Timesplitters exist! The great single player mode, the amazing multiplayer mode. Oh my god, how much countless hours did I play facility with dual RPC-90s and invisibility or throwing knives and invincibility. I miss it so bloody much.… Expand

    I don't think this game is highly overrated. Look at the average scores 96! Comparing this game to a PC game is a no-no, Goldeneye stands by itself as one of the most memorable gaming experiences for a long time to come. Shame that Rare didn't churn out sequels like Tony Hawk is diong for his skating game. This is the Nintendo 64 foo'!… Expand

    i mean wow this game hits a home run big time for 2 reasons one it takes a movie based game and does it way better then the actaul movie and 2 it made the stagnent FPS market fun again after all the doom clones. this game is just hands down lots of fun . outside of just a fun story mode i had so much fun just messing around in the missions with the cheats . plus you have the first real fun 4 player FPS multiplayer game . before Halo came out on the xbox this is what me and my friends would sit for hours and hours and play and just have so much fun doing it . this game maybe old and dated by todays standerds but i can still break out the N64 from storage and play this from time to time. that says alot about a game thats 13 or 14 years old now.… Expand

    I played all the missions literally hundreds of times. It's that engrossing of a game. Though I wonder if the sequel can even compare.
