    What a disappointment. The characters' appearances (aside from Daniel Craig) have been changed to generic models, completely unrecognizable aside from their names; presumably due to licensing issues. The single-player missions themselves have some infuriating level design choices and bear little resemblance to the original game or the movie itself.

The single-player missions themselves have some infuriating level design choices and bear little resemblance to the original game or the movie itself. The last level gives you a couple minutes to run across catwalks that collapse for no reason other than to slow you down, while spawning an infinite amount of enemies at you in a level with no cover. The chase across Cradle is now an annoying fight against an invincible character that's bookended by weak QTE scenes. Multiplayer is absolutely awful, nothing like the original. If you're looking for a nostalgic multiplayer experience, save your money and buy the XLA version of Perfect Dark instead.… Expand

    Reloaded is a good game... It's just a horrible GoldenEye game. For a "re-imagining", this game carry's absolutely no resemblance to the original. No nostalgia at all.

Multiplayer can still be fun, as long as you've never played Call of Duty before. Cuz if you've been a part of the CoD series, it will be impossible for you to play multiplayer without comparing... And trust me, CoD wins by a long shot. The only redeeming quality of Reloaded (I refuse to call it "GoldenEye") is the Single Player. The Single Player offers entertaining stealth and spy gameplay as well as a fun Special Ops type mode. But even so, it fails to impress.… Expand

    GoldenEye Reloaded is a game that you will probably either like or hate. If you expect it to be like the movie or the N64 game then you will probably hate it.

Of the James Bond games that Activision made, I would have to say that GoldenEye Reloaded is the best because it had the most replay value. The MI6 Ops missions were very well done. They included elimination, stealth, defense and assault. You get higher scores based on how quickly you complete these missions and on what difficulty you set the missions to and unlike the challenges in 007 Legends, these were pretty difficulty and rewarding once you got all 44 stars. I will say that the multiplayer was a disappointment to the Wii version's multiplayer. The shotguns are way over powered and are effective even at medium range, there is no host migration and there is a double kill glitch that allows gamers to get cheap kills. There are more multiplayer maps which is a plus but personally, I wish there was more focus on correcting the few issues that GoldenEye 007 Wii had instead. The single player is the same as the single player from the Wii version and if you can get past the fact that the story and cast is different from the movie then you might enjoy this one.… Expand

Overall, the campaign completely fails to capture the original intensity and feeling of the original. The Multiplayer is also a complete failure of a remake. It is essentially COD multiplayer with no balance whatsoever (you can have juggernaught and stopping power AT THE SAME TIME). The guns are all very easy to use, most having absolutely no noticeable recoil at all. The maps are also nothing like the original maps.

    I asked for this for Christmas and was so excited to play it thinking it was like the old N64 game. Much to my surprise it resembles nothing like the old version except for a handful of non effective features. I also haven't even played the multiplayer yet because there is no one online to play. I suggest people to buy the N64 game rather than waste their money on this awful "remake".

Activision are evidently cashing in on the good name of Rare's N64 game. However unlike the 1997 fps classic, this game is mediocre in every aspect. Since this game uses the same engine as the COD series you would have thought that the gameplay would be smooth and fluid. Unfortunately, the movement within the game is clunky and awkward. The sound is appalling as well. It feels and sounds as though you are firing toy guns. I can not emphasise how bad it is. Now lets get onto the multiplayer. How can they have messed this up so badly? It is a half baked copy of the COD multiplayer, but the matchmaking service is slow and confusing. Why didn't they just look at what works and copy that? I am in the UK on a fibre optic 44mb broadband connection and I have yet to find a server that does not lag. The game is currently unplayable online that is how bad it is. You can't run 4 paces without stopping. I myself play FPS on a pc and not on a games console. I would avoid this one at all costs. BF3 and MW3 are both better games. Battlefield 3 offers the best fps multiplayer experience. For anyone that wants to relive the nostalgia of Goldeneye - rent the movie or dust off your N64, because this one is a disappointment.… Expand

Levels are basic go from point A to point B not being helped by the fact the highly trained secret agent you control can't even jump, enemies spawn out of nowhere and can should through objects and surfaces you can't. Enemies also have the amazing ability to not notice you standing a few feet away, but when you have been detected all of them will instantly know where you are even if they haven't seen you. Secondary Objectives feel shoved in as filler and the MI6 ops and multiplayer feel shoved in and suffer the same control and gameplay problems as the underwhelming and laborious campaign.

I am a huge fan of the N64 classic, and before renting this one I was hoping for something very faithful to the original. In short, I wanted to relive the classic levels using the classic weapons with updated graphics and presentation. what i learned was that you won't be "reliving" as you will be experiencing something entirely new - a complete re imagination. that means that aside from the pistol, none of the guns or gun names are the same as before. the levels for the most part are different from their n64 counterparts save for a few similarities (the beginning of dam, the iconic statue in "statue"). this can be seen as a good or bad thing. It's good in its own right because it shows the developers used creativity and put effort into making the experience new. That's commendable. On the other hand, it looses some of the "classic" goldeneye feel, feeling like a goldeneye mod of Call of Duty. This game uses the same engine as call of duty, and has incredibly similar graphics and controls. The main difference is the implementation of stealth gameplay, which I really enjoyed. For certain segments of many of the levels, you'll be sneaking around. During these segments, you can see enemies as red dots on your radar, and you can go through and kill off the enemies one-by-one. if you get caught, more reinforcements are called and you will have a large firefight on your hands depending on how many enemies you were able to stealthily kill. i like this mechanic in the game. it's simple but it works.

    other highlights of the game include the ridiculous muzzle flash that was present in the 64 version, cool looking/feeling weapons, and a great bond presentation.

    things that will perhaps disappoint fans looking for the more a more faithful reboot include the fact that many of the levels in the n64 version aren't present at all, the levels are very much out of order compared to the movie/64 game, many major plot points were completely changed, and you the game isn't set up for the reticle-less point-and-shoot of the original (this would have been cool if they could have implemented as an option somehow).

This game is like a watered down version of Call of Duty. While I do enjoy the Call of Duty series, it has its limitations and this game included all of them. What the f*ck is up with these extra objectives? Thanks for not putting them on the map for me guys. There will be a small "i" for information symbol that appears next to the map when you are near an objective. You will pull out your phone, read the objective twice, go around in circles and if you are lucky find the objective. More than likely you will walk to far away and get to the next checkpoint, locking yourself out and having a "Mission Incomplete" to deal with at the end. While you will be able to go on you will find yourself swearing.

    The A.I. is covered in every other review but let me just say that it bares repeating how utterly inconsistent it really is. Sometimes enemies run blindly three at a time right into your gun. Sometimes a guy with an RPG waits until you are just in range and one-shots you. It is more annoying than anything when you come from a BF2 or COD game to this and realize they came out at the same time. Which brings me to my third and final point. I was hoping, albeit a little naively, that this game would be something different than the aforementioned juggernauts. I was excited at the prospect of Goldeneye being reinvented. I did read about it for the Wii and simply ignored it as Wii =/= FPS =/= Online play. The real let down was how they changed the story and the wonky objectives needlessly being placed in the game and then not showing up on the map.    … Expand

    This is an easy COD style game. Its redone, and changed the layout of the maps. Worse graphics and lower framerate than COD. Its not total garbage, it still plays. I expected more out of a goldeneye remake, but to regain the orginals legendary status may be impossible. The real problem is the foundation the remake was built upon - the Wii.

    What this game does is take the idea of Goldeneye and update it towards the new era, hinting and teasing the past game whilst giving you a whole new gaming dream. Those who are true fans of Bond games will appriciate this game. It returns the element of fun to the fps genre. Most fps games have gotten far too serious, just take a look at call of duty. They call themselves hardcore gamers when in reality they just spend all their time and effort in gaining a small star next to their name or something like that. G:R brings back the whole lets play games for fun thing. With its paintball features and that funny setting where you explode if you touch someone else it is truely an addictive game.

    I can not begin to express my disappointment with this game, what I was expecting was a reloaded version of the original 64 classic, what I got was a terrible exploitation of a name which a company simply knew would sell copies and whilst the game play in itself is not bad nothing can alleviate the acrid knowledge that this game will never compare to it's original namesake.

    Pathetic disgrace of the classic movie and game since it redo the entire story and removes all the original areas. Gameplay is just your typical Whack-A-Mole calladoody ironsights hide behind cover gameplay. As un-interesting game as can be.

The bad news is it has been put into the modern game level of intelligence, there is none. The graphics are better but this does not change the fact the AI system is very touchy and dumb. Several times I took note of how many steps it took guards to notice my gunshots as I found one step can be the difference between you taking out a target and the rest of the nearby soldiers (presumably telepathically) finding out where you are, the same goes for someone seeing you, one look and without opening his mouth or hitting an alarm a guard says "oh criminey here's a bad guy" and all of his are invited. On top of this issue there is also the call of duty style don't worry hide in a corner and your flesh will magically push the bullets out and mend itself leaving not so much as a scar mentality. Thank god they left in the option of having the original Goldeneye "bullet proof vests might help" frame of mind which actually makes the game a challenge.

    Speaking of the difficulty apart from a few moments of having to retry the same part over again a few times, while challenging the game play with a semi thought out plan was all but too easy. While health will not regenerate on classic 007 mode you can still take enough hits to charge a shotgun mp5 blazing and come out with barely a scratch.

    Overall fun to play, but if I wanted a game with a 90's AI system id play the damn original.    … Expand

    As someone who is a huge fan of the original Goldeneye 007 for the Nintendo 64, I was extremely disappointed at this adaption made by Activision.

To be perfectly honest, I would of thought it to be appropriate to have a shot-for-shot high definition remake of the original, which it isn't. The campaign gets bland after the second mission, once you realized the same gameplay is rebooted into different scenarios each mission. The gameplay, though, is playable, which is a positive, though you'd really check this game out to get the nostalgia factor, and not for a Call of Duty competitor that will outdo it, even though Activision is also a developer for the Call of Duty series, coincidentally. Then comes the multiplayer, which is one of the few bright spots of the game, although I feel like it isn't enough to keep you wanting to play it. Give the multiplayer a try, and i'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised at how fun it is. Then there is the Mi6 Ops, which is basically an objective based game mode where you can use powers from the original game (Painball, DK Mode, etc.). Although this sounds good, it just comes off as bland and repetitive. I wouldn't suggest buying this game under any circumstance like I did, but simply renting it and seeing if you get any nostalgia, although you most likely will not.… Expand

    The game just doesn't feel like the original Goldeneye game. I feel that they tried to hard to revive a classic and they have failed in doing so. I give this game a 3 based off the fact the graphic were good and the story was ok.

    In my opinion, Goldeneye 007: Reloaded is the best James Bond game on the Xbox 360! The gameplay is awesome and sound is pretty great. Only problem I had with this is I wish they added more spy missions, it feels like Call Of Duty at some times. Overall, I think this is a great James Bond game for any Bond fans

This is a solid game and i would recommend it to most bond fans and all shooter fans because it has for the most part it maintains that awesome story from the 1995 movie except its retold as Daniel Craig as bond with some events in the first and second act being switched around which i found to be an interesting take on the story that all bond fans know so well, and in most missions you have options go Call of Duty like Guns blazing (Btw, Goldeneye 1997 was the origin of COD) or go stealth with subdue tactics and p99 silencer or even both tactics in the same mission and you dont get punished for having a certain play style which i really like. and also to mention one more thing regarding single player, the graphics are GREAT for a 2011 FPS, there not the best ever but not to hot and not too cold and especially the faces of the characters, the designers put a lot of time into the character modeling. Kudos to the people who created and published this game and even Judi Dench and Daniel Craig lended their real voices in this game it made the experience feel more genuine. real quickly lets talk on MI6 OP's, its fun extra content that provides a real challenge if you want to get all 44 stars ( I know i haven't XD). but now ireally want to talk about what would really be on everybody's mind , the Multiplayer, and the main question is, is it better than the original?... No... but its still pretty damn good and fun. but the online conflict modes were crap, to much like Modern Warfare with the perks and lots of lagging and a questionable leveling system, but we dont get nostalgic over Goldeneye over the online because there was no online multiplayer, we get nostalgic over the split screen, and its so much fun even with just 2 people, added way more iconic characters, more weapons, more fun modes and goofying around like in the original. but noticed how i said in the beginning that i recommend this to ALL shooter fans but only MOST bond fans, that because the only people who wont like this game are the fans of the original 1997 game and that might be the biggest flaw of this 2011 remake due to its alienation of the original fans but hey this is still a more than proficient game and ill go as far to say that its a great A$$ game because there are countless nights where my buddies and I would be up until 1 or 3 in the morning trying to dodge Odd Jobs Hat XD, and even look at it this way, if you want the Glory of the 1997 game just go back and play it instead of this one.… Expand

    Having loved the game back in the 90s, I was disappointed with the remake. The graphics could have been a lot better, the multiplayer was great back then but with small, monotonous maps an a dearth of game modes is pretty weak by today's standards Surprisingly, the solo campaign is pretty solid, though the story is shallow. Luckily Daniel Craig lent his original voice and visual appearance to the game, so you can play a cool Bond character.
