    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.

    I bought this game the first day it came out and I still enjoy playing it. This definitely is the best first person shooter.

    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!

    This is the best FPS ever. It practically made what most FPS games are like today. ALMOST everyone i know who has a Nintendo 64 has Goldeneye and thinks it is one of the best FPS games ever made.

    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.

    This is the best game ever made in the history of the world (with the execption of Duck Hunt for NES). It is just too good to believe

    the BEST game EVER MADE !!!!!!!! Goldeneye is far better than perfect dark and kicks the sh*t out of Halo & Half-life. Nothing will ever beat it !

    Would give it an 11 if I could. This game is one of the most revolutionary games ever made for any system. As you can tell w/ all of the great reviews, playing Goldeneye should go on your 'Things to do before you die' list. If you haven't played, you're missing out. The reason why this is a great game is hard to put your finger on, but I think it's the great story Would give it an 11 if I could.

In my opinion, this is the single greatest 1st person shooter game ever. I don't think anything will ever bring it down. Perfect Dark was a decent attempt to reproduce it, but the story was too confusing and wacky. MUST HAVE GOLDENEYE!… Expand

    Yes, the single player is great, ut multyplayer is where this gem is truy unvieled. In my (and just about evrybody elses) this is the best 007 game ever and second best first person shooter ever.

    Golden eye is the absolute best bond game that has ever been made and ill bet it still stands to be the best ever made for ever. The only thing that could make this game better would be to include the long lost cheat of all bonds.

    The year is 2006 and still to this day I have yet to play a game up to par with goldeneye (rainbow six vegas?). The only game you need for the n64. Graphics are dated by todays standards though gameplay and controls are top notch. Rumor has it this game will be going online through xbox live, hope it's true. Long live the king of fps!

    This game stole 3 years of my life. It still plays amazingly today (unlike Perfect Dark, which has aged badly). Perfection.

    I've never encountered a game that had me (and friends) coming back again and again and again with each experience being fun and different. Still the best game ever in my eyes. Newer games undoubtedly are technically better, but none have had the all round fun, challenge, excitement, all with that Bond cool.

    Goldeneye is the reason there are first person shooters on consoles. It showed that it was effective. Before goldeneye the fps genre was mainly a pc thing. halo fanboys thank the nintendo 64 for their success.

    I would have to rate Goldeneye as one of my top five games ever, and tht includes next-gen games such as Halo. In my opinion, Goldeneye kicks Halo into the dirt. Anyone who thinks that this game is overrated should take a reality check!

    This game was the best game on n64 when it came out and for that year, hence GAME OF THE YEAR. The first time I played it I was blow away by its graphics and how fun it was. This was one of the best fps out at the time and still is one of mine other than halo.
