Games Radar UK (Pre-2006)

A great game, but it's never going to replace "Goldeneye" or "Perfect Dark." Both games do things bigger and better and more often.

Da Gameboyz

(Da Gameplay is) genius' I tell you. 007 is pure magic.

GamePro

Doesn't quite surpass the gameplay standard set by the recent "Perfect Dark," but it does have better audio and the graphics are a notch above its predecessor, "GoldenEye."

Hot Games

There are only about three really great N64 first-person shooters, and this is one of those three.

Game Fan

TWINE revels in fact that it poaches the concepts pioneered in GoldenEye, and N64 gamers should too, because we haven't had it this good since 1997.

IGN

If it's an incredible single-player mode packed full of spy gadgetry, stealthy missions, clever mission objectives and outstanding graphics that you're after, you can't do better than this Eurocom shooter, even if it does fall a little short in the AI and multiplayer departments.

Nintendojo

Its simplified approach and cool cinematic feel of the single player mode will whisk you away in no time at all.

Antagonist -- Ant.com

A well-crafted FPS that will satisfy the majority of bloodbath-seeking N64 fans. Its general entertainment value vaults TWINE into the upper echelon of N64 first-person shooters.

Spank!

An excellent homage to "GoldenEye" -- it doesn't really have anything in the way of new ideas but in some ways it's a more enjoyable single player game than "Perfect Dark."

CNET Gamecenter

If "GoldenEye" was the Sean Connery of Bond games, and "Tomorrow Never Dies" was George Lazenby, then The World Is Not Enough is a likable Roger Moore--showing its age, in it for the money, and prone to bouts of slowdown, but still sporting that old Bond magic.

Happy Puppy

The pace of the action is generally heart pounding, and that's a good thing. On the down side, the missions are either too short or too initially implausible.

Game Revolution

If there weren't so many better games of the same ilk, I'd definitely recommend this one. But there are, and TWINE isn't at the top of the stack.

Gaming Age

It has an awesome single player experience, decent multiplayer, steady frame rate and an extensive array of weapons and gadgets.

Core Magazine

Eurocom does the amazing by putting out a sequel to Rare's "Goldeneye" that actually lives up to the high standard set for it. What a shame that Rare's own pseudo-sequel, "Perfect Dark," already did the same thing at least twice better.

GameSpot

An engaging experience but fails to match the gameplay finesse of "GoldenEye."

Daily Radar

A passable shooter that will please Nintendo-owning fans of the genre, but it won't win any awards for originality, ingenuity or design.

Starfire gave it an8:
Once it came out, this replaced playing Golden Eye for me, with it's varied guns and exciting multiplayer- with or without bots. The graphics are also nicely detailed- though it has to be said that FPS have come a long way since this one and that Goldeneye was overall a better game. Still very enjoyable, though.

dotDragon gave it a5:
There's no reason to buy this game unless you've played through Goldeneye and Perfect Dark so much that you've got everything memorized. The controls are clumsier, autoaim is stupider, you often find yourself running out of ammo, and the in-game cues as to what you should be doing are often obscure at best. Oh, and saving is entirely memory pack-based--no saving to the game cartridge. Rare might have set the bar high, but that's no reason to buy this Bond game.

Yanni T. gave it a 10:
Everybody loves goldeney, they dont like this. In my opinion this games is exactly the same as Goldeney except for better graphics, gameplay, plot, and the shooting is much more realistic!

Uter gave it a 7:
It's quite a good fps. But for some unknown reason you can't look up or down. I have no clue why they would take that out - it just makes aiming tough. I would say though, if you liked goldeneye, you probably enjoy this one too.

Jose V. gave it a 6:
This was decent, but not great. Never in this lifetime would I say it was better than goldeneye or perfect dark. Some levels are kinda cheesy and it was easy to get through many levels. Don't pay too much if you buy it.

Chris J. gave it a 7:
Meltdown. Shouldn't be as hard... should have more guns.

Better graphics than the Playstation version, but Playstation has clips from the movie.
