    I suspect this will be one of the first titles to take a price drop, so if this time of the year is really punishing your wallet, you might want to wait, but for those who never got to play GoldenEye on the N64 or even last year on the Wii, you can now finally experience a bit of gaming history, freshly wrapped in a next-gen package that is so challenging, so fun, and so addicting, you might have trouble deciding what to play when all those holiday titles start stacking up.

    Even with all of the overly nostalgic conciliations, GoldenEye 007: Reloaded is a genuinely fun game in and of itself. Activision has made some incredibly intelligent decisions in their revision strategy (Daniel Craig is the first Bond actor who can believably kill a Russian since Sean Connery), but in the end, nostalgia just isn't a strong enough foundation to build a truly great game on.

    A good and entertaining shooter, although somewhat far from the best games in the genre. But the classy style of James Bond makes it special.
  4. The thing we love most about Golden Eye is the split-screen multiplayer. You don't see this enough in shooters anymore. Luckily Eurocom can be counted on to deliver the goods: four people can fight it out on one screen at the same time in several exciting modes. [December 2011, p.64]

  1. The Golden Touch - Goldeneye Reloaded. I've been waiting for an HD remake of the Wii version of Goldeneye for quite awhile and now that it has arrived. I can say I am not dissapointed. To start off the review the campaign is FUN. Something most games can't seem to achieve anymore. You can approach the game in 2 ways. Call of Duty run and gun or James Bond Stealth, sneak through vents and kill people will a silenced P99. The campaign is short and follows the story of the original Goldeneye movie. If you guys are looking for an N64 remake of Goldeneye. Look elsewhere, this isnt the real deal but its a good deal. The remake is the splitscreen multiplayer. Thats where the nostalgia is. Campaign is fun and has an engaging story. Now lets get to multiplayer. Call of Duty-esque but doesnt stop it from being an all out blast. Moonraker lasers, Golden Guns and all the classic weapons you've known and come to love. Hell you can even be Oddjob and throw his razorblade hat. Slappers? You know it. Goldeneye Reloaded has some of the most engaging and fun multiplayer on the market to date. So let me just wrap up this mini-review for you. - Buy this game. XienTEC Score - 90/100 (Fun, fast-paced and stealthy and great multiplayer) (XienTEC Reward) Expand
  2. I remember that I got a good deal on this game with the move and sharpshooter bundle so I just played it not expecting much, but I have to say with the move this was one of the most fun I have had with a FPS. I would of given this game a 8.5 because it was a lot better with the move, but if you were to just play it normally it probably would be that great of a game. maybe more of a 7 or 6. But for me they got the sharpshooter perfectly for this. Expand
  3. The HD version of Goldeneye007: Reloaded had great potential. Although it does have some descent meat-&-potatoes style FPS action, it ultimately doesn't deliver. PS2 era graphics and gameplay are the most immediate faults that leap out at you. These are quickly followed by clumsy vehicle controls, stiff aiming sensitivity and a non-existent online community. On the FPS-lite Wii, Goldeneye007: Reloaded makes a lot of sense. On PS3, however, the game is ridiculously outgunned by it's competition. Expand
  4. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Being a big fan of James Bond films, I was eager to play a James Bond game that was good; unfortunately the game does not do that. The story of the game is a non-copyrighted storyline of the original Goldeneye movie. What I mean by this is that the game developers have done little adjustments in areas, such as the villain's deaths are different, there is no WW2 style train etc. The biggest difference is that in one mission, while driving a tank, the whole of St Petersburg looks like the apocalypse has just began.
    Positives
    I like the fact that the game allows you to play as villains from the films

    Negatives
    Three/quarters of the game is using a mobile phone
    Graphics look poor in places
    When I was playing the game, I decided to do it on normal mode to get a feel for how difficult the game is. After completing the game (in one sitting), I only got a trophy for doing the game on easy so I had a look to see if the game had glitched. For some reason, the game had decided that in parts you will play on easy and in some you will play on normal
    There are a lot of glitches in the game, such as some guards can shoot you even though you are in an elevator, the main boss can dolphin dive through metal boxes etc
    The rating
    I have given Goldeneye 007: Reloaded a 4 out of 10
