    None of this matters. Rogue Agent has it where it counts; in gameplay, innovation and just plain, flat-out devious fun.

    Environments, character design and voice acting are the big three standouts of the game, but at the core it is still just another first person shooter.

    Between the AI and the story you also will find hours of enjoyment out of this title. Even if you are not usually a shooter fan.

    Entertaining, but hardly groundbreaking. [Holiday 2004, p.64]

    Rogue Agent had the premise to be a great action title, playing the villain but it isn't. Rogue Agent is an average FPS, with an uninspiring single player, with decent multiplayer.
  7. GamePro

    Perhaps the best feature, though, is online multiplayer--at least for PlayStation and Xbox owners. The game's intensity is upped by the human competition, and the standard selection of gameplay modes.

    While the final cocktail that is Rogue Agent breaks very little new ground, the eye powers and deathtraps are extremely welcome additions to the shooter arsenal.

    There is some fun to be had both in single player and multiplayer game modes, but there aren't a lot of areas that Rogue Agent separates itself from the competition.

    EA still can't find that elusive GoldenEye touch in GoldenEye: Rogue Agent. But they finally seem to be on the right path to glory.

    If there had been a better variety of enemies and missions and if the story really fleshed out and brought to life a Goldfinger/No power struggle, we could have had the makings of a classic.

    Rogue Agent does do a lot of things extremely well, though. The enemies are realistic, ducking in an out of cover, constantly moving, even updating each other on what you're doing ("He's behind the bar!" - brilliant). [Jan 2005, p.130]

    Anyone expecting a game similar to the N64 version will be greatly disappointed because at the end of the day Rogue Agent is simply a mindless run and gun fest against reasonably smart AI.
  14. DailyGame

    A disappointingly repetitive and average ride at a time when above-average is a necessity.
  15. 3DAvenue

    Really only for the die hard Bond fans and those who just can't wait to get some Xbox Live 007 action.
  16. Extreme Gamer

    Your standard first person shooter which offers some new ideas over a familiar setting.

    Why is there so much hate for this game? Sure, you don't play Bond, but it is a good fps with nice ideas. Overall rating: 7.7.

    The moment I saw GoldenEye: Rogue Agent in the shop shelf, I was thrilled and expected a remake of the tremendous N64 GoldenEye game. QuicklyThe moment I saw GoldenEye: Rogue Agent in the shop shelf, I was thrilled and expected a remake of the tremendous N64 GoldenEye game. Quickly I realized that is wasn´t, but nevertheless it is a pretty good game. The shooter gameplay is fun, the graphics are beautiful and the game comes with a lot of innovative ideas. But it has some flaws that spoil a lot of the fun. The story is boring and the missions become repetitive pretty fast. But the couch multiplayer is highly addictive. A good game for shooter fans!… Full Review »

    Ce n'est plus ce JamBon qu'on con-trôle mais c'est toujours aussi nul, comme tout jeu dérivé d'une licence cinématographique... à l'origineCe n'est plus ce JamBon qu'on con-trôle mais c'est toujours aussi nul, comme tout jeu dérivé d'une licence cinématographique... à l'origine déjà assez consternante en soi, il faut bien le dire. Bien que -tout de même !- démouler un FPS aussi naze tient du tour de force vidéoludochiatique. Finalement en fait, EA fait de la merde depuis bien plus longtemps qu'on ne croit : cet affligeant triple Z en est la preuve merdoyante.… Full Review »
