    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.

    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.

    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

    The first serious and truly understand as a masterpiece FPS in consoles. There was moments of action, infiltration, you had to use gadgets and there were a wide arrange of different maps and situations. The multiplayer for 4 was one of the best things. Very hard game in the 007 difficulty.… Expand

    I spent so much time with this game its insane. I don't even know how many playthroughs and missions and multiplayer and hundreds of hours. All I know is that for me, this game was revolutionary are absolutely brilliant. Don't let ripoffs of the name on inferior titles deceive you...this game was outstanding and a masterpiece. Way ahead of its time. It's assuredly a classic, and I'm glad I can give it the 10 / 10 it undoubtedly deserves.… Expand

    Goldeneye certainly lives up to its FPS legend status and is a must for all shooter fans. Where shall i start? Satisfying if basic level design, superb graphics, AI which tries very hard and has some devekopers personality, great gadgets that dont hold your hand and let you use your imagination, excellent replay value with a still fun 4 player mode, cheeky and fun feedback from your HQ. Overall this game puts most last gen ( xbox / ps2 ) games to shame. Its not all great tho' - Weapons are quite poorly weighted ( a pistol will kill quicker than an AK47 or M16 ), there's certainly linearity of play which may put people off, its a bit too easy and some levels take only 3 mins to finish--and thats not a speed run attempt!! Overall a 94% personal score for me. This game has a lot of personality and is a must for any gamer, including all next gen boys looking for a satisfying blast of FPS heaven.… Expand
