GoldenEye: Rogue Agent
Description official descriptions
After being fired from MI6 for your ruthless behavior in an MI-6 simulator, you begin to work for Auric Goldfinger doing evil deeds. After the first mission (Which is the simulator) you are assigned a Goldeneye by Francisco Scaramanga who acts as the villain’s version of 'Q'. Your Goldeneye can do four separate things which are to see through cover, toss enemies around, use a shield, and hack into computers. The levels in this FPS are all basic run-and-gun style.

A mediocre shooting game at best, with some novel ideas...
The Good
I enjoyed the variety of weapons and the ability to dual-wield guns, as well as having the ability to use human shields, and toss people around by altering their magnetic fields... (what can I say? I'm a violent gamer!)
The Bad
The game had the traditional shooter's gameplay: shoot target A, move to point B, shoot target C...................
The Bottom Line
This game is OK, but it should be kept aside for multiplayer matches only.

For a cheap cash in on a classic it's not that bad.
The Good
Its Bond. Who doesn't love Bond? If you do there is no need to say more but if you don't it doesn't matter because this whole game revolves around a "Rogue Agent" cast out of MI6 for reckless and violent behavior. The games graphics aren't bad, there not great but there not bad either. The game features two control schemes "Classic" which is basically the Goldeneye 64 controls and "Precision" which is pretty much a direct take on the Halo controls. Being an evil character you get to take hostages and use them as human shields as well as many evil deeds. The game features a number of special abilities using the "Goldeneye".
Decent rag doll effects as well. The single player might be short but this game has full Xbox Live features to fulfill anyone evil needs. Even though it's a direct rip off of Halo 2 the duel wielding is great fun. The games A.I is amazing. It uses a new system called E.V.I.L.
The Bad
First thing this game has NOTHING to do with Goldeneye on N64. Its a cheap effort to mooch off the success of one of the greatest FPS games ever made. Although the graphics are decent they are a step down from Everything Or Nothing.
The controls are very sluggish and moving the guns around is excruciatingly slow.
Any Bond fan will tell you that the plot is all over the place. For starters according to the movies ALL of the villains should be dead. Not to mention they are all from different Bond era's. The back ground of the main character is never explained which is a bummer considering the games idea was very interesting and could have gone farther with the plot.
The Bottom Line
It's decent but is a blatant cash in on Goldeneye 64. It's good enough to buy but not before the price goes down.

The Good
Being the bad guy for once was an interesting touch. Working for the villain (Auric Goldfinger) was an interesting touch as well.
The Bad
This game is quite possibly the worst Bond game out there. Well, A View to a Kill is probably the worst so this is #2. Being the villain sounds like an interesting touch at first but after I beat the first mission of the game (Which is the MI6 training simulator mentioned in the plot outline) I felt like a critical element was missing from the game. A critical element that makes the game...fun. But, sadly, this game does not seem to have it. Throwing enemies off cliffs and taking them hostage to use against other enemies seems like an interesting concept at first but here - it basically...fails horribly. The missions have very little variety in them - they're all the same colors - just a dull gray and sometimes brown if you're lucky.
The Bottom Line
The game is basically just a run-and-gun shooter. Usually, you just open a door, kill everyone inside with the weapon you have, go inside another door, and do the exact same thing. Occasionally, you are given the chance to use your Goldeneye which comes with a feature that will allow you to toss enemies around, be invincible temporarily, hack into computers, and look through cover. The game feels like it could have been an interesting feature to play the bad guy, but here, the game play of the previous Bond game (Everything or Nothing) is missing. Compared to previous Bond games such as Nightfire or Everything or Nothing, this game is poor...and I'm being generous about my score!

Trivia
GoldenEye 007
During the games production, it was rumored that the original GoldenEye 007 video game would be buried within the games code and accessed via a special Easter Egg type of command. The idea was dreamt up by designers who felt that Electronic Arts was trying to piggyback off the success of Goldeneye 007 by calling their newest game "GoldenEye 2", which has no resemblance
Story
Although one of the villains from the James Bond film GoldenEye appears in the game, the stories have no real ties to each other. The plot of the film revolved around a weapon called the GoldenEye which used a nuclear bomb detonated in the upper atmosphere to create a damaging electromagnetic pulse on earth.
Title
The name GoldenEye was originally the name of Bond author Ian Flemming's home in Jamaica.
