    What a legendary and classic FPS, another masterpiece from the golden-age of Nintendo. I recently played through the game again, on the Switch, and I have to say, it still holds up really well. Multiplayer is a blast and the campaign is phenomenal.

    The classic analog stick FPS. Here's a secret: if you plug in a second controller, you can play with two joysticks for the single player mode. However, the right stick moves your vision up and down and strafe left and right, while the left stick moves your vision left and right and move forward and backward.

    When I was young, I was left with an n64 hand me down console. I hadn't ever played a fps to that point as I was 8 years old, And I felt how bad this game controls and didn't like it, I have given it some more chances over the years but till this point I still see it as clunky especially looking back. pretty cool tho

In objective terms, there is some needless frustration in the higher difficulty settings, which will stifle unlocking secrets and cheats—the only reason to play this game once its story mode has been completed. Barely repelling the infinitely spawning battalions of enemies is made worse by a stuttering frame rate, obviously the result of eschewing sprites in favor of polygons at the conceptual stage. Despite the highly praised effort from British developer Rare, it is clear that Konami would have done better with this material.… Expand

    Perfect Dark is better, and always will be. this is one of the best and top n64 games out there.
    But for its time it was great, but has aged terribly, compared to perfect dark.

    Everyone loved this game back then, but time moves on, and that age is gone.

DOOM, Shadow Warrior, Blood everything I knew about shooters has rooted in the idea that you went down a straight path with floating key cards that opens up the exit to the level. Goldeneye takes those rules and destroys them. You were no longer going down a straight path, you were now doing objectives. This game as a console shooter was so revolutionary that it provided a whole new standard for what console shooters should be able to do allowing games such as Uncharted 4 and Call Of Duty to even be on consoles. You can shoot enemies with a silenced pistol, a karate chop, an AK47, and with this wealth of tools it allows you to approach gameplay with these little nuances that make the gameplay so exciting like when you use the silenced pistol you have to aim carefully because if you miss it will alert the enemies to your presence, if you don't have any ammo for your guns you can karate chop your enemies for more, using the AK in missions with alarms and cameras the guards will run towards the alarms to set them off which will call in reinforcements and the cameras will more easily spot you. The gameplay of Goldeneye is so dynamic that in any second the player is making tons of decisions without even realizing it and all of them feed into the central idea of freedom. From the moment you start playing, you choose which objectives you want to complete in which order and which objectives from the levels you want to do. The train level really flies out of left field with these claustrophobic and close quarters spaces. the airfield is a nice contrast to this, sure you have these annoying turrets but the tank is really fun to use. So many things from this game have been permanently etched into my mind like the unlockables in the main menu, it's such a creative idea to even have these kinds of unlockables like the cheat codes and the secret difficulty. I've spent so much time replaying missions just to see the alternate dialogues you can get depending on how you approach a mission. The game has a incredible way of prodding your imagination with these atmospheric little touches like how if you shoot Alec at the end of the second mission, he will call you a traitor or if you kill the innocent programmer in the Control mission Natalya will show disappointment in you, it makes you think "what other outcomes could I possibly get?". To me, Goldeneye 007 is more than an important game. It's an infinity re-playable wonder with an air-tight foundation that has shaped my thoughts on what video games should strive to be. I love this stuff.… Expand

    Easily the best first-person shooter on the Nintendo 64, and one of the best games of its generation. I spent many hours with my college roommates enjoying the stellar split-screen multiplayer. The single-player campaign is brilliant fun, combining elements of stealth with good old-fashioned gun blazing action. The soundtrack is pure Bond. A must-own for every Nintendo 64 collector.

    This was my all time favorite gem of any console growing up. Every console FPS to date is measured on a scale with goldeneye being the benchmark. Replaying in 2018 in 16:9 on LCD TV and this game still amazes me how ahead of it's time it still is. THE masterpeice of all FPS.

    Goldeneye 007 is a fun n64 shooter game developed by RareWare. It has amazing graphics, wonderful gameplay, good controls and an excellent soundtrack. The game will keep you occupied for hours. A must have for any person.

    No joke, at this point in 2017 my 8 year old son regularly chooses to play this game over dozens of newer games on newer consoles. It litterally made him want to watch the original Goldeneye film the other night. The power of classic games.

    The graphics were amazing back then but obviously would age badly over time. The iconic soundtrack by Rare composer Grant Kirkhope is perfect. It matched the feel of being James Bond. Every stage theme sounded so exquisite. The story is extremely faithful to the film minus a few alterations to the plot. The gameplay was so addictive and fun. It made you want to replay it over and over. You were given more tasks on higher difficulties which made the game more fresh. The controls took a good bit of time to get used to but they are not as bad as avid gamers claim they are.

    Of course the famous multiplayer added by Steve Ellis himself before the game was released. It is one of THE best multiplayer games in video game history. Various modes, unlockable cheats, classic unlockable weapons and villains from the Bond lore in story mode made multiplayer a staple in the gaming community.

    The only things I hate in the game that could have easily been fixed was the poor frame rate, the stupid ai, unbalanced difficulty and terrible aiming system.

    A must buy for any gamer and Bond fan. A classic indeed.

    Back in 1997/98, GoldenEye 007 for the N64 was the most influential FPS title for consoles. To be fair, it still remains one of the most influential in the genre, period.

To be fair, it still remains one of the most influential in the genre, period. For its time, GoldenEye 007 looked great and the AI was fantastic. Enemies react to wounds on specific body parts, they try to dodge gunfire, and even raise alarm to call for help. The game offered multiple experiences from an easy play through to hardcore time trials, to custom created experiences. This also expanded into the created-on-a-whim multiplayer mode, perhaps the largest selling point for the title. Four ports on the N64 console meant easy four player matches, along with plenty of controller throwing.

    The music is well composed, taking hints from the original 1995 film but also originating and expanding. Realistically, they had to be creative. The game has more environments for Bond to explore than what the film had shown, including two flashbacks to the past with references to Moonraker, Live and Let Die, and The Man with the Golden Gun. Are you ready to take on Jaws and Baron Samedi? Can you even take them down? Ah, this game may be old but still, no spoilers!

    With a fantastic first player experience and an even better multiplayer mode, GoldenEye 007 is a classic game that cannot be passed up. During its time, people played this game religiously and it took years for it to lose any steam despite new game and consoles coming and even going. If you're able to, pick this one up and give it a shot—or maybe slappers only.    … Expand

    I see a lot of reviews mention the terrible controls: while they are not great, they do not make the game unplayable. Anyone younger than a certain age or who started gaming after a certain year will think they are terrible because they are not dual-joystick. Yes, we all know that the dual-joystick configuration changed the FPS genre for the better. Unfortunately, it didn't exist until a certain point. Also, anyone mentioning mouse-and-keyboard can shut up since comparing a console-only game to PC gaming is a waste of time. The controls are fine if you are a true gamer. It would be one thing if the game's control scheme was messed up, but you can't say a game is bad because the controller that was made for a console isn't great. That isn't the fault of the game. In any case, I played through this game this week, on my N64, on 00 Agent, and beat it all the way through. So, the controls definitely don't make it unplayable.

    The music is good and most of the levels are fun. It's definitely worth replaying if you liked it before, but I would also say it's worth giving it a try if you have never played it before (unless you are one of these idiots that can't play old(er) games because of some whiny complaint like graphics or something).    … Expand

    I grew up on this game and I still listen to the music today. Holy crap. This game, first off, follows the movie but also creates its own side story that goes well with the movie. It has great weapons, great level design, great gameplay, and great mechanics. I can't see a single flaw with this game.

    Without benefit of nostalgia goggles, a perfectly mediocre game.

    The AI is as crude as, say, Doom's, but much less responsive. Never seen characters flatly ignore so much carnage around them. Plus, the AI lacks any features that lead to interesting mechanics (c.f. Doom's monster infighting). They run up & shoot & no more. While it gets the job done, it's bizarre to see the AI praised.

GoldenEye did nothing to advance the art.

    Shooting is surprisingly satisfying for a game with no gore, thanks to varied, hilariously flamboyant hit reaction & death animations, yet the extraordinarily rapid infinite respawning of enemies quickly sucks all the joy out of dispatching them. Run-n-gun is quite fun here except that it's trivial, and the only real threats are (spawning forever) behind you. You need eyes on the back of your head. Stealth elements feel tacked-on, and just bog down the game. The counter-intuitive marriage of arcadey shooting (GoldenEye's light-gun game roots show) with stealth may be possible, but Rare botched it.

    Level design has a couple high points but through most of the game it's either too linear or pointlessly expansive, in the latter case mostly via extremely repetitious, boring, & constricted 90-degree-angle interiors. It's so easy to get lost, because everything looks identical. The few moments where there's real room for flexibility are welcome. GoldenEye kicked off the unfortunate trend of "realistic" level design and is one of the worst examples of its use. Objectives are mostly unobtrusive thematic fluff, but some of them are vague (copy the key?) or frustrating (the ole' escort-the-dumb-bullet-sponge objective again & again). Doesn't help that there's zero saving within missions, automatic or manual. Oh, and unmarked exits that abort your mission and force a restart, they're fun too.

    A constant bugbear is a low and wildly inconsistent framerate, where the drops often have nothing to do with the on-screen action. Even in 1997 this was no technical masterpiece. Aesthetically it's a mixed bag. Some environments play to the strengths of the hardware, while others are just awful. Throughout, the artistry behind textures is mediocre.

    Many fondly recall GoldenEye for its multiplayer. Can't comment on that. For certain, the single-player is far from timeless, versus its contemporaries & ancestors. GoldenEye's innovation and influence can't be denied, but glowing praise of its quality per se is even more dubious today. A console FPS, what'll they think of next!

    FWIW I first played GoldenEye around 2003, having been an FPS fan since the early 90s. I came in with enthusiasm & high expectations due to so much lavish praise, and left disillusioned. It's an instructive example of naivete about other peoples' opinions. There were legitimate reasons why people loved GoldenEye. Quality is bottom of the list.    … Expand

And that's what Goldeneye 64 is --- not a game but a cultural touchstone for anyone who grew up playing shooters in the 90s. When Goldeneye was released, using a PC was the only credible way to play an FPS. Sure, there were ports of Doom and Wolfenstein to consoles, but they were not worth their salt. Then came Goldeneye and the paradigm was shifted forever, paving the way for the likes of Halo and Call of Duty. Goldeneye was the first game to credibly use a gamepad to control an FPS. And while the sprawling maps and stealth mechanic of the single-player campaign offered hours of great content, it was the split-screen multiplayer that made this game a true classic. As a lifelong fan of James Bond who has been playing FPS since the original Wolfenstein, Goldeneye hits a sweet spot with me that few games have rivaled before or since. Is it as good as you remember? Of course not, the FPS genre has taken monumental leaps forward since this game was released and the clumsy N64 controller is a medieval torture device compared to modern gamepads. Is it still worth playing. Of course! Goldeneye 64 is like the Casablanca of video games. It may be old but it's still better than most of what has come since.… Expand
