Storyline

Why save the world when you can rule it? Cross over to the dark side of the Bond universe to experience life as a high-rolling, cold-hearted villain. As an aspiring 00 agent dismissed from MI6 for reckless brutality, you're recruited by Auric Goldfinger in a ruthless war against Dr. No for control of the Bond underworld. A brutal encounter with Dr. No costs you an eye, but Goldfinger's technicians replace it with a gold-hued, synthetic eye, earning you the name 'GoldenEye'.

Trivia

During the games production, it was rumored that the original Goldeneye 64 (1997) 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 64 by calling their newest game "GoldenEye 2", which has no resemblance.

Quotes

Goldeneye: [Listening to M]
M: Your tactics are inexcusable, an inappropriate use of firepower, an extreme body count, and unwarranted brutality. There's no place at MI6 for an agent like you. You're dismissed.

User Reviews

Generic first person shooter

I'm really rather sick of first person shooter games. They are a dime a dozen and with all the Medal of Honor and Call of Duty games out there do we really need another? The previous game in the Bond universe was Everything or Nothing, which wasn't a first person shooter, something new. But this one goes back to something old.

There is a bit of a twist though. It's fun to play a villain, there's a little bit of RPG (only a touch) and the villains from the older movies (such as Dr No, Blofeld, Oddjob, Goldfinger and Francisco Scaramanga) come back, even though they are supposed to be very, very, long, long dead. But this novelty didn't last long and I quickly became bored of the game.

Plus there is too much going on. Hooked up to a home theatre this game is loud and thrilling but it will easily induce epileptic seizures so beware. Plus the targeting is terrible. If you have a gun that sprays bullets everywhere you will still have trouble killing a lone enemy in the distance. This got highly irritating.

As these type of games go even Die Hard: Vendetta was better. Nice music though. Rent it to try it out first as buying blind would be a serious error in judgment.
