Agree. Perfect Dark was a way bigger revolution (personally) than GoldenEye ever was. I loved making agressive bot game modes with absurd kill counts to win, doing that with friends...come to think of it very much like Horde mode way back in the day. "The remake on Marketplace is pretty much exactly the same as the original. I thought it was worth the download :)
GoldenEye 007
Game » consists of 7 releases. Released Nov 02, 2010
GoldenEye 007 (for the Wii and Nintendo DS) is a re-imagining of the 1997 Nintendo 64 classic of the same name (as well as the 1995 movie it was based off of).
Whats special about the Nintendo 64 goldeneye?
the funny thing here is that no one has mentioned how cinematic this game was. wemre talking about cutscenes integrated into the gamev that you took part in. remember when ouromov and his goons captured and executed trevelyan? sure there wasnt any voice acting at the time, but the game managed to take the most iconic scenes from the movie and portrayed them beautifully. it really was something else.
Golden Eye on the Nintendo 64 was just amazing. It was arguably the best FPS shooter out there at the time. The split screen multilayer mode was so much fun. I have a lot of good memories playing that with my friends. I heard this new Golden Eye that came out was pretty good, so I think I'll pick up a Nintendo Wii and get the new Golden Eye, along with some other Wii games.

lol true dat
" @Willy105 said:What kind of idiotic reasoning is that? Doom is pretty dated now so that must mean it sucks too." It proved FPS games were possible on consoles that were just as good as the PC, essentially. "HA! Uhhhh no. Not even close . People just have a lot of nostalgia for endlessly playing the four player multiplayer. Play this game now, it's totally outdated, clunky as all hell, and just doesn't hold up. Although multiplayer is still pretty fun. A lot of it is just rose-tinted glasses now though. People who STILL defend GoldenEye as being this amazing amazing game, even nowadays just have their head up their ass "
plus look what they did to the Facility, they really think their game is somewhat superior to the original to even redesign one of the all time favorite multiplayer maps, talk about arrogance...

It was great, although I wouldn't say revolutionary, for it's time and the console it was released on. Plus, it was one of the games that defined the N64 as the party system (along with such titles as Mario Kart 64). But please, let's not delude ourselves: It hasn't aged well.

As a kid, GoldenEye was so amazing because it was a game you could literally stay up all night playing against your friends (a lot of Mountain Dew helped out). I think I played that game almost every weekend like that until Perfect Dark came out. Although PD was a better multiplayer game to me back then (nothing beat having you and friends versus bots), GE was the one I remember most, but, like other posters have said, that's probably just because of nostalgia.
I've played the original Goldeneye in the past year and still fucking love it. Unsure about the new one but I'll give it a try with friends. Splitscreen ONLY. If I can't reach over and punch my friend for killing me with Slappers then I have no interest.
