GoldenEye 007

glockstararmani's GoldenEye 007 (Nintendo 64) review

The Gold Standard

Glockstar Armani presents this game with 4 "GLOCKIE" awards for:

*BEST FIRST-PERSON SHOOTER*

*BEST MOVIE-BASED GAME*

*MOST NOSTALGIC GAME*

*BEST GAME OF 1997*

This game is like tomorrow, on account of it NEVER DIES. It's amazing, it's spectacular, it's been talked about to death. So instead of regaling you with the same boring reviews that absolutely EVERYONE has already written about this, let me instead tell you 2 quick little fun anecdotes relating to it:

#1: I had a friend once named Rudy. For Christmas 1997, all Rudy wanted more than ANYTHING else was GoldenEye on N64. He wanted it so badly he could taste it. It was all he ever talked about for months & months. Since his family is from Jamaica, Rudy & his parents packed up and flew down to the Caribbean to spend Christmas with the rest of the family. On Christmas morning, Rudy's parents told him, "We got you GoldenEye. But it's back home. In Canada. And we won't be going back for another week". Needless to say, Rudy returned from the trip looking & acting like Gollum until he could get his hands on the game.

#2: A few weeks ago (April 28th, 2012, to be precise) I had a surprise birthday party at my place for my mom. My cousins and I got bored as the night grew on and eventually we dusted off the Nintendo and played a few rounds of GoldenEye. FIFTEEN years later, and it's still the go-to party game. That, my friends, is lasting appeal.

Before Goldeneye was released on the N64 there was no console shooter that actually played well. Sure, if you go back to the game now it has aged horribly, but at the time it was the best out there. While the graphics and sound were not groundbreaking, they were done well enough to still be impressive. The thing that really set this game apart was the tight controls, epic single player, and the insanely addictive multiplayer. This was the game to be playing with friends when it came out, and I s...

Game-play The Gameplay is based on a modern First-person shooter. The Gameplay has allot of missions and allot of action. When you play and beat the missions you get unlocks for the cheats. I think the gameplay is perfect because this game delivers almost every thing you want in james bond game. The AI in the game is smart for a N64 game im was pretty impressed.The Graphics is like the best part of the game because you can see every thing well and the guns looks pretty realistic.The Sound and th...
