    The characters, levels, and game modes are entertaining enough, and it's got just the right sense of humor. I really can't recommend it for solo players, as most of it's solo modes are aimed towards unlocking multiplayer content.

    While the environments are beautiful, the hackneyed time-travel story line feels shoehorned into the experience... [which] ends up feeling a bit half-baked. [4 Oct 2002, p.158]

This is not a classic of the genre, but junk that no one needs at the moment. Terrible shooting, a very boring main story with minimal gameplay variety, and unbalanced arcade levels for me personally made the passage of this shooter simply unbearable. I do not recommend anyone to play it these days, especially to buy for backward compatibility. Glory to Ukraine! Full Review »

    The Goldeneye spin-off series with a big cult following.

    This game is amazing. One of the best multiplayer games of all time.

    The graphics are good. The music by Grant Kirkhope is perfect. The sound is good. The gameplay is very addictive as it mostly comes from the multiplayer. So many match types and multiplayer characters to play with. The story mode, arcade mode and challenge mode gives the game so much replay value to unlock maps, 100 characters, match types and cheats.

    The only things that let the game down is the cataclysmic aiming system and over-sensitive controls, boring story mode, unfair ai and broken friendly fire and health mechanics.

    It is still a great game. I highly recommend it.
