Nintendo 64 version

James Bond's 'Golden' moment in gaming history!

The Good
Its fast-paced gameplay and stealth missions honor Bond's cinematic heritage in this game, and the 1990s 64-bit era charm oozes out of this game in spades. The music, the action, the recreations of the movie, the new stuff they put in like the Rocket silo, the Aztec level and turning the satellite climax of the Goldeneye movie into a stage for a very impressive boss battle.

The Bad
It's more technical, but I wish that you could see James Bond holding more of the guns physically instead of the PP7s and other pistols. It'd be great if you could see his hands holding and reacting to the firing of an AK-47.

The Bottom Line
Want James Bond to have the ready-to-go entertainment value of Super Mario 64 and take what made Doom so great into the realm of 3D? Goldeneye has the answer; and IS the answer.
