  1. Magnificent. Until now, GoldenEye was arguably the best reason for gamers over the age of 16 to own a Nintendo 64. No longer.
  2. Simply the best game I have ever had the pleasure of playing.
  3. So damn close to perfect that it makes me want to cry tears of joy.
  4. 100
    It's a stunning achievement by any measure and stands as one of those rare products that delivers more than you paid for.

  1. Clocked more hours than any other n64 title, and wore out quite a few joysticks. It's a damn shame the sequel on the 360 didn't show new fps' how its done... Expand
  2. Otra de las grandes obras de Rare (si es que acaso alguno de sus títulos no lo fue). La combinación de Acción y Sigilo del juego, mezclada con la historia tan intensa hacen una combinación ganadora. Un juego realmente asombroso. Expand

    The multiplayer mode rocks. Countless options. But the solo mission is incredibly difficult and the whole sci-fi background turns me off almost completely. Controls are nowhere near as good as they were in the superior GoldenEye 007. Great graphics, good sound, not so much fun, not so much replay value. Expand
  4. I bought this game based on the positive reviews on Metacritic. However, the game does not age well. FPS's were not meant to be played with one joystick, and going back to that is just frustrating. Expand
