    Not owning a Wii, I was excited to journey through the nostalgia that is Goldeneye 007: Reloaded. This is essentially the HD version of the remake which initial debuted on the Wii. I was pleased to see this was not simply a reskinning of the N64 Goldeneye game, but a remake in a present day setting with some welcome diversions from the N64 game's faithful adherence to the movie's story.Not owning a Wii, I was excited to journey through the nostalgia that is Goldeneye 007: Reloaded. This is essentially the HD version of the remake which initial debuted on the Wii. I was pleased to see this was not simply a reskinning of the N64 Goldeneye game, but a remake in a present day setting with some welcome diversions from the N64 game's faithful adherence to the movie's story. The shooting mechanics are solid and there are plenty of weapons to play with, but the SMGs and assault rifles feel very samey. Bond's smart phone allows him to hack doors and turrets or take pictures to complete various secondary objectives. The level design is linear but there is often at least one alternate route through an area. You can go in guns blazing, sneak past, or a mix of both. For example, one level on a naval vessel allowed me to either burst through a door and face down several guards with an automated turret, sneak through a side entrance and evade patrols, or crawl through an air duct, hack the turret, and watch it massacre the guards. It's refreshing to see an otherwise linear shooter with a cinematic flair allow for a bit of player choice. The game is a decent length similar to the original N64 game, but there is little in the way of replayability. There is a difficulty setting where your health does not regenerate and you must manage armor, and outside of the MI6 missions (think Call of Duty SpecOps), the competitive multiplayer mode is rather weak. While it's not yet difficult to find a game, lag is ever present, and the game seems to suffer from framerate hiccups in large matches despite the singleplayer portions having no such issues. Buy this game if you are a FPS or Bond fanatic. Otherwise, don't expect lasting appeal.… Expand

    The HD version of Goldeneye007: Reloaded had great potential. Although it does have some descent meat-&-potatoes style FPS action, it ultimately doesn't deliver.

    GoldenEye Reloaded is an excellent remake of the title appeared on the Nintendo 64 and Nintendo Wii, for all the 007 fans will be a godsend, thanks to good multiplayer segment and restyling more than good.

The title of Eurocom, if put under the magnifying glass, achieves high ratings but will pay a total of perhaps the output side by side and see him compete on blockbusters like Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3, which in comparison makes the title Eurocom little thing.
    But if you're among the fans of British and want to give a chance to this pearl gaming, you will not regret!

    While I loved GoldenEye on the Wii, the $60 retail price for this release does not include enough to be justified.

While the game itself is great, those who have already purchased it on the Wii will find very little reason to repurchase this in HD.… Expand

    Goldeneye was great at N64 and was good at wii. But on PS3 it is difficult to find a online game, it seems everybody is playing COD.

    I enjoyed a lot two years ago on wii and there were lots of people playing online. On PS3 I feel alone trying to match online games

    Comparing this to the original N64 version, it is a definite upgrade in terms of graphics and gameplay.

However it deviates alot from the script and almost seems to completely rewrite it at times. Ok fine, so Brosnan was replaced with Craig but although his likeness is there, that's not even his voice. Bummer. The character models look a little weird too. Bond himself looks good but all the others look like they could have been pulled from a Gamecube game. Then again considering that this was a remastered port of a game made for the non-HD Wii, that's entirely possible. Good thing though: lots or replay value in the form of multiplayer, Mi6 ops, and tons of modifiers and cheats to customize gameplay.… Expand

    The original Goldeneye is a masterpiece of gaming and will go down as one of the greatest shooters of all time. This game? This game is a generic Call of Duty-esque cover shooter that fails to be Goldeneye and is a slap in the face to the original game. This game will never live up to Goldeneye and really should just be it's own thing.

    I don't know what was supposed to be reloaded in this game, but if this was supposed to be an improvement over a previous game, then I am frightened to see its source material.

GoldenEye 007 Reloaded as all of the elements to be a great Bond game. The controls are surprisingly spot on and all of the missions seem pretty well-thought out. But there are so many things wrong with the game; sometimes it's annoying to play, other times its downright unplayable. The voice work is awful, and it is obvious that both Craig and Dench were forced by their companies to act this out and tried to phone their performances in as best as possible, ending up with robotic voice overs that seriously impact your sense of immersion. The gameplay is faulty in many areas other than the gunplay. Awkward grenade indicators cause extreme confusion and lead to countless unnecessary deaths. In addition, the level design is extremely poor, either holding your hand along the yellow brick road, or placing you in a war zone against hundreds of enemies. One level I had to give up on because I died ten times in a row. Ten times. The level provided no sufficient cover, and every time I tried to hide and regain health, I was greeted with an onslaught of unavoidable grenades which caused a truck, which was the only possible cover, to explode, instantly killing me. On top of this, the game is unbelievably repetitive, making you feel like you're playing the same level over again with a different backdrop to hide its similarities. But perhaps the game's greatest fault is that I never felt like James Bond. Unlike Uncharted 2, which allows you to play though incredible scenarios, GoldenEye plays its most exciting moments in cutscenes, forcing the player to take a backseat while the real Bond does all the dirty work. This is a monumental letdown and a testament to the wasted potential that this game has to offer. In short, the target is in sight but there's no way to reach it. The good Bond game is there and I love the polished controls and some gunfights. But the repetitiveness, lack of immersion, and infuriating gameplay segments cause 007 to fail the mission and never truly reach his potential. Agent down.

    5/10

    There is nothing special about this game. I experienced nothing new. Just another FPS. Almost nothing that felt like a James Bond experience.

    Making Bond games as CoD clones perplexes me. Sure he needs to get into a gun fight every now and then but it's also about detective work, cool gadgets, exotic location and fast cars. I don't recall any of that existing in this game.

    I find it funny some hard core fans of the original title complain that they replaced Pierce Brosnan with Daniel Craig. But the thing is you only see Daniel Craig's face one, maybe twice, and there is almost no voice acting.

    I hope someday some developer will give the Bond IP the proper love it deserves, like how they did with the Batman Arkham series.    … Expand

    Meh 5/10 very very very mediocre.
    The first one for PS2 was a f*cking million times better, though I absolutely LOVE the gloves (yeah I'm a sucker for characters wearing gloves in FPS) and the stealth takedowns with a chop to the throat.

    It is a title that takes advantage of its origins, but doesn't depend too much on nostalgia to win the interest of the player.
