Nothing of what was expected: They Stole the Good NameNov 06, 2011
By Doug Buchan
"I'm awesome"
First of all, I've had this game on pre-order since mid-year. The N64 version constituted my childhood. This was the first person shooter that we came home from school on Friday's just waiting to play. This was the all night pizza party/sleep over game. This was grade school bliss. To this day as a college grad we still sit down once every other month or so to play N64 Goldeneye. I couldn't WAIT for this game to be out on Xbox 360 and re-live the glory in high def.
So last night I unboxed Goldeneye, ordered pizza, had my friends over and we all anticipated reliving our favorite N64 game with new gameplay and hi def graphics.
The game started with no familiar intro or music. The menus we're re-done of course and looked good. Mounting excitement led to our first round of disappointment when multiplayer asked us to 'pick our class.' Huh? Goldeneye is supposed to have multiplayer weapons sets for the whole team, not individual classes! Where are grenade launchers or proximity mines, pistols or power weapons?!
Next we noticed that there were no 'game modes' like 'you only live twice' or 'license to kill.' So we thought 'ok, we'll do it manually.' But you can't even handicap your health down to 0 for a license to kill effect. So there's no old school game modes or even a way to re-create them!
So okay, no weapons we like and no game modes. But at least there's the characters right? It's GOLDENEYE afterall! SO we each have always played the same character. Odjob, Travelyen, Zenia, and Helicopter Pilot. Of the above, Odjob is the only one still existent. No Travelyan in GOLDENEYE?! How? He's in the movie!
And the final multiplayer nail in the coffin was the maps. Only one or two maps were the same. Facility was one of our favorite old ones and was in the new version. So we chose that map and our new character, weapon sets, and game mode (at least the map will be the same, right?). WRONG! The map isn't facility at all. It's a square room with ramps everywhere and two glowing plasma tanks in the center of the room. No thought, no effort, not even close to the Goldeneye story line or the N64 game. Terrible, lame, boring map.
So I'm already saying I'm going to sell this game....but wait. There's single player. Maybe that will be better.
I switch to single player while my friends watch to see if the game has a saving grace. The game starts with a tutorial level that you can't skip. Boring, lame, and unecessary. Then it progresses into the Dam level. Ok, good, so the level order is at least the same. But then the level starts and you're playing with an AI travelyan. He's guiding you and telling you what to do! What the hell? Thats not how it's supposed to be. The game play continued to deviate from the original and get worse as I played.
I'm so disgusted with this game that I feel bad even re-selling it. I've had it open less than 4 hours and I've already got it posted to sell. Shameful to use the Goldeneye franchise name on a featureless first person shooter. Stick to Battlefiled 3 and COD MW3 for your kicks this holiday season. Fail

James Bond has left the building in this oneJan 26, 2012
By jrod I was so excited to see another GoldenEye 007 remake that I finally took a chance. I thought for sure Activision was to surely do this game right. WRONG! Where do I begin? This is Call of Duty on crack, and I mean that in a bad way. This in no way compares to the best shooter game known to man, Goldeneye 64 for Nintendo Let's start with the guns: They all sound like pea shooters. They don't have a distinctive tone what so ever and there was no wow factor for me. The graphics are decent but the environments are non-destructible, not to say the original was either on N64 but hell this is the xbox 360 / PS3 era......... we've come a long way since the original debuted in 1997! The computer AI is just horrid, where's the blood? Why does the AI appear out of thin air? How can the other enemies nowhere in sight hear a one shot kill from my silenced PPK? Multiplayer? Sucks The Campaign: I'm comparing this game to the original Nintendo 64 version since it is titled GoldenEye 007 Reloaded and the back of the case clearly states James Bond is back; let me say I was quite disappointed by this catch phrase. When they say James Bond is back they mean Daniel Craig (not Pierce Brosnan) is back in a mentally challenged version of the classic Goldeneye 64. All the characters involved in the movie and the original N64 game do not resemble each other. I think Activision tried to create a modern version of this game but failed miserably. The levels do not compare to the original but I see the resemblance of a few levels from the original. You can see I'm comparing this game to the original for the sole reason Activision claims this game is "Refined, Recharged, and Reloaded".
There is so much more I can say about this game and how much is sucks but I'm not going to waste any more time talking about how much suck is involved

No English Subtitles = game breakerDec 02, 2011
By J. Dixon
"Joe"
To start off, I'm proufoundly hard of hearing. Without English subtitles, I cannot understand the story in this "remake". Remember Splinter Cell? It had no subtitles, but you understood the story at least. In this game, no subtitles equals no understanding of the story. The only thing I do understand is the mission objectives.
Gameplay: Sneak doesn't always seem to work since enemies somehow seem alerted to your presence for some reason or the other (no cameras saw me either). Game is pretty fast paced and very linear. It is a decent reamke with HD.
One good thing which saved it from becoming two stars: Multiplayer is excellent, escpeically with friends.

DON'T BUY this shameless cash-in!!!Dec 04, 2011
By A. D. Anderson
"Flying Gamer"
I'm an old school gamer who has dreamt of a truly updated N64 Goldeneye 007 for years. I think the key point in understanding why this will never be is licensing issues. The Bond license was briefly awarded to Rare when Goldeneye originally came out. With that game's tremendous success, EA took over (or out-bid) Rare for the license. They then proceeded to milk the franchise, releasing several crappy to mediocre games in the years following Goldeneye. EA got rid of the license once the tit was dry, and in stepped equally abysmal "video-games-equal-cash" mega-corporation Activision. Board meetings took place and executives who have never gamed in their lives came up with a new way of taking your hard earned greenbacks. By "re-releasing" a new, "super-awesome" game with Goldeneye pasted on the cover, Activision had found a way of re-invigorating the dead franchise. By playing on our fond memories of former greatness, they tried to find a way back into our wallets. The only problem is that they don't care one bit about producing a quality product or doing the original justice. It's only about making money. By buying into the hype, by biting off on what you hope this is going to be, you are playing the fool. The only thing (and the best thing) you can do is NOT buy these crappy Bond games in hopes that Activision will sell off the license. Maybe it's devalued so much by now that Rare could pick it up again. And then we would be in gaming heaven.

A good game but not GoldeneyeNov 11, 2011
By M. Bradt It should have been so simple for this game to get a five star review but instead of giving the target consumer what we wanted the developer decided to tell us what we wanted. As far as singleplayer goes they could have done whatever they wanted with the story line, I don't care what bond is in the game (Craig, Brosnan...they could have Connery for all I care) What is important to me is the guns and multiplayer maps/options. I don't want six different versions of the same submachine gun (standard, laser sight, thermal sight, fancy triangle sight?) I want to dual wield RCP 90s and put so many bullets in the air the game lags. I don't want a crappy 2 or three shot underslung granade laucher. I want the six shot grenade gun from the original. I don't want to pick my characters weapon kit (from very limited options), I want to set the gun loadout on the start screen and have weapons scattered all over the map. I would and still do play the original but it you are going to make an update you could have done so many great things besides making the game visuals on par with the current standard. You could expand the original maps, like the facility, to include the whole map from the single player game. I used to do this way back in the day with my gameshark until it broke and my friends and I had some epic battles in the normally closed off back half of the map. You could add in bots for multiplayer like perfect dark did. Sure no computer is going to be as challenging as playing against your buddies but if you throw a few computer drones on everybodies team it makes for some wonderful chaos. Instead they decided to take out the over the top guns and the original levels...at least they kept the characters...but then they really didn't have a choice with that. In the end this game seems more like a knock off call of duty with bond characters than a remake of the classic Goldeneye...I bought it with high hopes but was dissapointed...maybe they will fix it with downloadable content *hint *hint.
