    Mr. Koolaid is completely and utterly a waste of genetic material. Goldeneye is the reason that great games like Perfect Dark and Timesplitters exist! The great single player mode, the amazing multiplayer mode. Oh my god, how much countless hours did I play facility with dual RPC-90s and invisibility or throwing knives and invincibility. I miss it so bloody much.

    One of the best first person shooters ever made, GoldenEye is bested only by its spiritual successor, Perfect Dark. The excellent story, unbelievable graphics, huge variety of weapons and multiplayer options, stealth gameplay, and objective based mission structure all combine to make this one of the best games ever. One of the N64's classics.

    1998. I spent probably half the year playing Goldeneye with friends. We set up 4 TVs with cereal boxes blocking off the other screens so we could be in stealth mode. Fantastic. No game since has come close to those sessions. About 4 years ago we had a replay with the old gang. It was just as good. I'm on revver.com by the way, look for kingstar!

    Goldeneye will forever be known as the game that put the FPS on the map in the home console realm. The formula goes as follows: DOOM is to PCs as Goldeneye is to consoles. Anybody that even attempts to give the title to Halo must've only owned a PS1 back in the day.

Newer games undoubtedly are technically better, but none have had the all round fun, challenge, excitement, all with that Bond cool.

    But playing the singleplayer mode is only one side of the medal. In times of no Internet for the average mortal human and good old couch gaming GoldenEye was the most exciting FPS multiplayer games. Split screen hindered sneaking action, but on quite huge maps it's always better to find each other than to wander around all alone. This game has a huge variety of guns and gadget put together in selectable weapon sets, partiality not balanced, but in a console gaming environment you are always free to apply house rules -- even health could be modified to give experienced players a handicap and keep balance. Most game types offered an interesting mixture of challenge and team dynamics. +++
    Even cheats in this game were a nice nice gimmick as few of them also applied to the multiplayer mode and they did not make you a lazy player as you had to unlock them as "achievements" in the singleplayer mode.

    All in all this game is still awesome besides its graphics compared to modern games. FPS games today are trying to much to have fancy leveling and unlocking systems while GoldenEye has almost everything a FPS game needs to be fun and innovative.    … 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

    The game that introduced me to FPS gaming.
    I still call it a god of video games and one of Rare's master creations.
    I guess anyone who played this game would believe me when it say it was pretty much flawless. Even recently i've hit up a few N64 games and this is definately one of them.

    The story is pretty much identical to the movie, the action is insane (AI is funny to look at today though lol), a great wide range of levels with heaps of variety, missions are very challenging and I still wonder how I 100%'d the game back then.
    What I admire most about the game, is the unlockables. Remember the days where you played instead of paid? this is a prime example. (yes I got this off a meme I come across haha)
    You EARNED your cheats
    You EARNED Aztec and Egyptian
    Ill never forget how hard it was to unlock invincible on Facility. Beat it under 2:05 on 00 Agent!!
    But for every cheat you unlocked, you were always satisfied and felt some sense of achievement.

    This was the reason why many shooters exist.
    It is a fantastic game and there was never a dull moment.    … Expand

    Ok I want to first say that Goldeneye IS the reason that Perfect Dark exists. I've read of couple reviews here it seems some people are completely unaware that Perfect Dark is in fact a Rare game (just like Goldeneye) and that Perfect Dark came out 3 years after Goldeneye using a modified Goldeneye engine.

I've read of couple reviews here it seems some people are completely unaware that Perfect Dark is in fact a Rare game (just like Goldeneye) and that Perfect Dark came out 3 years after Goldeneye using a modified Goldeneye engine. Perfect Dark is literally a copy and paste game that improved on everything Goldeneye did so downgrading Goldeneye because you think Perfect Dark is better is just plane asinine. Of course it's better it came out 3 years afterwards and is made by the same damn company!

    Anyways now onto Goldeneye.

    In my opinion Goldeneye is one of the greatest console shooters of all time. The countless hours my friends and I spent on this game playing 4 player split screen on a 26in tube. "You're screen watching!" Who didn't shout that while playing this game? Now it'll be hard to convince a 9 year old today that this is an amazing game that is an absolute blast but for those who truly appreciate video games and the time when video games brought friends into your household for hours and hours of shooting glory defending a bathroom, this is a timeless classic. Sure the graphics are completely outdated and you only have one analog stick to use but sometimes you have to step back in time and appreciate a classic that helped launch console shooters into the future.    … 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.

It ranks up with "Grand Theft Auto III", "Metal Gear Solid" and "Halo" as a truly astounding action title. If you own the N64, you should grab a copy. It's an essential for action fans. 10 out of 10

The game offered multiple experiencesBack 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. 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 remember the first time I saw Goldeneye 007 it looked so different from what I expected a shooter to be.

You were no longer going down a straight path, you wereI remember the first time I saw Goldeneye 007 it looked so different from what I expected a shooter to be. 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
