Joanna D. gave it a7: Actually, Mr. Bond (and John P.), Goldeneye is not the reason Perfect Dark and Timesplitters exist. The reason Goldeneye/PD/TS exist is because of Doom/Wolfenstein. You can thank PC developers for what was accomplished by Goldeneye (as far as gameplay elements go, anyway). However, I still think that Goldeneye improved on the forumula with great graphics and decent multiplayer (for its time). On the contrast, PD brought to us multiple weapon modes (that were actually awesome), an interesting storyline (unlike Goldeneye), great music (Goldeneye was OK here), the 'laptop gun' (Goldeneye/other FPS titles had NOTHING like this), Psychosis gun (Again, GE/other FPS had nothing like this), bots (not in Goldeneye either--and, with some degree of uncertainty, other PC FPS's preceding PD), etc etc etc Goldeneye was great, but it wasn't the template for FPS's succeeding it. Rather, it was merely a way for console gamers to access what PC gamers had been playing YEARS prior. Perfect Dark blew Goldeneye out of the water because it was a new template for following FPS's, and because it extended FPS's into dimensions BEYOND gameplay (with its great story, voice-acting, and music). Try bringing a cogent argument to the table next time, Mr. Bond/John P...you know, other than 'Goldeneye is a superior game because mommy wouldn't let me play M-rated titles when PD came out'. Again, not denying that GE was a good game, but that it wasn't what following shooters were based on (THAT argument only holds true if you really ARE waste of genetic material).
John P. gave it a10: Mr. Koolaid is completely and utterly a waste of genetic material. Goldeneye is the reason that great games like Perfect Dark and Timesplitters exist! The great single player mode, the amazing multiplayer mode. Oh my god, how much countless hours did I play facility with dual RPC-90s and invisibility or throwing knives and invincibility. I miss it so bloody much.
James Bond gave it a10: Mr. Koolaid doesn't seem to realize that Perfect Dark was the follow up to GoldenEye, so OF COURSE it'll have more options, better graphics, more guns, etc. You don't have to be a genius to understand this, unfortunately Mr. Koolaid isn't even intelligent enough to get it. GE007 is without a doubt the bench mark for all first person shooters. It completely and single-handedly changed the way first person shooters were viewed. It wasn't just a run and gun sort of game if you didn't want it to be, you could act stealthily and slip in and out of cover, no one the wiser of your presence. Half-Life took this evolution of the FPS genre a step forward in its cinematic and ground breaking story telling, but GoldenEye truly is responsible for the beginning of truly immersive gaming.
Scotty P gave it a9: Goldeneye certainly lives up to its FPS legend status and is a must for all shooter fans. Where shall i start? Satisfying if basic level design, superb graphics, AI which tries very hard and has some devekopers personality, great gadgets that dont hold your hand and let you use your imagination, excellent replay value with a still fun 4 player mode, cheeky and fun feedback from your HQ. Overall this game puts most last gen ( xbox / ps2 ) games to shame. Its not all great tho' - Weapons are quite poorly weighted ( a pistol will kill quicker than an AK47 or M16 ), there's certainly linearity of play which may put people off, its a bit too easy and some levels take only 3 mins to finish--and thats not a speed run attempt!! Overall a 94% personal score for me. This game has a lot of personality and is a must for any gamer, including all next gen boys looking for a satisfying blast of FPS heaven.
Jeremiah T. gave it a10: The first person shooter that, made an impact on the consoles. Without 007, you wouldn't have Perfect Dark or Halo. The game is a load of fun and introduces us to some new original ideas. One of the best games on the N64 and possibly, one of the best games ever.
Axewhipe S. gave it a10: Still years after the release I play this game, although there are many other games out today, this was one of the best games ever and is still the best movie to video games ever & was revolutionary for FPS games alike. This game got me into 007 movies.
Bill J. gave it a10: This game has everything, invidivual music for every level, bosses, large levels, challenges, multiplayer and many unlockables. Will keep you hooked for months, possibly years! Buy now!
Mr. Orange gave it a10: This game did for console FPS what Half-Life did for PC FPS.
Mr Koolaid gave it a6: Perfect Dark has a much better storyline, far more multiplayer options, much more innovative weapons, and better music than Goldneye..it's not so much as Rare's fault as it is that it's a James Bond game. If your mommy didn't let you play Perfect Dark and you are thus biased, then get a life and quit spewing misinformed crapiola on the netz.
Josh H. gave it a7: It's a fantastic game, but Perfect Dark is still, to this very day, a much more enjoyable experience.
Tom N. gave it an8: A once great game forever to be remembered as the FPS genre's one and only true revolution, instead of evolutions made by Halo and Half Life. Goldeneye regenerated and reformed an entire genre all on its own and at time of release it surpassed all other shootemup games. However, by today's standard it is generally a poor game, and can no longer complete. Despite ageing badly and being nothing special by today's standards, it gets a good 8 considering what an important game it was. Kids of today will never see what the fuss was all about, but those who grew up with it will always remember how great a game it was.
Rich H. gave it a10: This game stole 3 years of my life. It still plays amazingly today (unlike Perfect Dark, which has aged badly). Perfection.
Derric U. gave it a10: Goldeneye will forever be known as the game that put the FPS on the map in the home console realm. The formula goes as follows: DOOM is to PCs as Goldeneye is to consoles. Anybody that even attempts to give the title to Halo must've only owned a PS1 back in the day.
Steven D. gave it a10: This game is the god of all games! Long live Goldeneye 007! They may keep making games but nothing will ever match to this! Long Live bond Long Live Nintendo!
Jason T. gave it a10: This is the best FPS ever. It practically made what most FPS games are like today. ALMOST everyone i know who has a Nintendo 64 has Goldeneye and thinks it is one of the best FPS games ever made.
Barry K. gave it a10: 1998. I spent probably half the year playing Goldeneye with friends. We set up 4 TVs with cereal boxes blocking off the other screens so we could be in stealth mode. Fantastic. No game since has come close to those sessions. About 4 years ago we had a replay with the old gang. It was just as good. I'm on revver.com by the way, look for kingstar!
Mayday gave it a10: The year is 2006 and still to this day I have yet to play a game up to par with goldeneye (rainbow six vegas?). The only game you need for the n64. Graphics are dated by todays standards though gameplay and controls are top notch. Rumor has it this game will be going online through xbox live, hope it's true. Long live the king of fps!
Jon H. gave it a10: Goldeneye ROCKS Goldeneye kicked the crap out of EVERY playstation title ever! And kicked perfect dark's .ss!
Daniel M. gave it a10: BEST GAME EVER!!!
BoB BoBBy gave it a10: HANDS DOWN the best multiplayer game ever! And one HELL of a single player game!
Daniel P. gave it a7: This game is okay, but it is oershadowed sooo much by Perfect Dark it's not funny. Perfect Dark's multiplayer KILLS Goldeneye's. It's single player is a bit better though.
James D. gave it a10: I don't think this game is highly overrated. Look at the average scores 96! Comparing this game to a PC game is a no-no, Goldeneye stands by itself as one of the most memorable gaming experiences for a long time to come. Shame that Rare didn't churn out sequels like Tony Hawk is diong for his skating game. This is the Nintendo 64 foo'!
Tyler S. gave it a10: Golden eye is the absolute best bond game that has ever been made and ill bet it still stands to be the best ever made for ever. The only thing that could make this game better would be to include the long lost cheat of all bonds.
Gustavo H.R. gave it a9: A genuinely memorable classic for the Nintendo 64. Better than any other title ever released for this platform.
Lawrence C. gave it a10: The game have the best cheats for nintendo64, is better than zelda.
Cameron S. gave it a10: This game is the best game ever!
John B. gave it a10: There's no doubt, GoldenEye 007 is the greatest game ever to come out for any system. For being a Nintendo 64 game it's awesome. The gameplay is sweet and as old as it is, the graphics are sweet too, and multiplayer mode is just as fun. Any person with a Nintendo 64 needs to get this game.
Jim B. gave it a7: First half decent FPS on a console. Highly ovverated compared to PC games of the same genre, level design and gameplay is 2 dimensional compared to Half-life.
Daryl W. gave it a10: This game is the best FPS ever! so much better than halo, which, to be honest is just retarded. requires skill and has the most amazing multiplayer ever!
Ben G. gave it a10: Still [2005] better than any first person shooter. Even better than Halo and Halo 2!
Michael J. gave it a 10: This game was "frickin' amazing".
Sam gave it a 10: Yes, the single player is great, ut multyplayer is where this gem is truy unvieled. In my (and just about evrybody elses) this is the best 007 game ever and second best first person shooter ever.
Robert A. gave it a 10: Best multiplayer game! EVER!
Sean B. gave it a 10: Would give it an 11 if I could. This game is one of the most revolutionary games ever made for any system. As you can tell w/ all of the great reviews, playing Goldeneye should go on your 'Things to do before you die' list. If you haven't played, you're missing out. The reason why this is a great game is hard to put your finger on, but I think it's the great story and addicting gameplay which seperates this from the rest. In my opinion, this is the single greatest 1st person shooter game ever. I don't think anything will ever bring it down. Perfect Dark was a decent attempt to reproduce it, but the story was too confusing and wacky. MUST HAVE GOLDENEYE!
Simon T. gave it a 10: An outstanding game which cobines solid 3D graphics and interesting gameplay. the multiplayer is also one of the most addictive ever! All in all a brilliant game.
James Bond gave it a 10: the BEST game EVER MADE !!!!!!!! Goldeneye is far better than perfect dark and kicks the sh*t out of Halo & Half-life. Nothing will ever beat it !
Robert C. gave it a 9: I played all the missions literally hundreds of times. It's that engrossing of a game. Though I wonder if the sequel can even compare.
Yanni T. gave it an 8: This game was way ahead of its time. I n64 was still as big as it was at its release than it would be considered the second best shoot em up game ever!
Nick D. gave it a 10: This game was the best game on n64 when it came out and for that year, hence GAME OF THE YEAR. The first time I played it I was blow away by its graphics and how fun it was. This was one of the best fps out at the time and still is one of mine other than halo.
Alex C. gave it a 10: I would have to rate Goldeneye as one of my top five games ever, and tht includes next-gen games such as Halo. In my opinion, Goldeneye kicks Halo into the dirt. Anyone who thinks that this game is overrated should take a reality check!
Stair S. gave it a 10: Sweeeetttt STUFF !!!!!
[Anonymous] gave it a 10: This game was made around 1998, but this game is still as good as ever! Shoot enemies dead, but you also need to complete espionage objectives too, sneak around, that sort of stuff. So good, only Perfect Dark can surpass it!
Brad D. gave it a 9: This game revolutionized the FPS genre. No longer are FPS's just DOOM and Quake clones where the goal is to anihilate everything in sight but to sneak around. I gave it a nine because although this game and Perfect Dark two of the greatest games ever made, nothing comes within 1,000,000 yards of being as good as half life is. (P.S. 1,000,000 yards = 1 point)
Sonnie S. gave it a 10: I would buy this game for $100 if i could, this is the best game i have ever played, better than all the old skool games and the 3rd generation games, it is the most addictive game i have ever played, i have never got bored of it, its a typical frantic game, you get killed and you get your friend back by killing him and so on, the multiplayer system brings this game to the top of the list and you will never find a reason to leave the game, a must for any gamer!
Uter gave it an 8: It's got great depth. The feeling of being bond is also done well. I think it is a bit over rated though. There are at least 10 better games on the system.
Adam H. gave it a 10: Amazing. ps roberto T is seriously bent this game kicks butt.
Ronald W. gave it a 9: A challenging, exciting, near realistic singleplayer mode and fun multiplayer mode. I would give this game a 9.6, but it wont let me, I just wish i still had it...(SIGH).
JK gave it a 9: Lots'o'funs.
[Anonymous] gave it a 10: Great game.
Bob gave it a 10: This is the best game ever made in the history of the world (with the execption of Duck Hunt for NES). It is just too good to believe
Roberto T. gave it a 0: This is the worst game i ever play it has no story and the targeting system stink and the movie stink i wish this game was never created stay away from this garbage.
Bennett M. gave it an 8: Very action packed and complex, but the replay value is below expectations.
[Anonymous] gave it a 10: One of the best first person shooters ever made, GoldenEye is bested only by its spiritual successor, Perfect Dark. The excellent story, unbelievable graphics, huge variety of weapons and multiplayer options, stealth gameplay, and objective based mission structure all combine to make this one of the best games ever. One of the N64's classics.
Ray P. gave it a 10: I bought this game the first day it came out and I still enjoy playing it. This definitely is the best first person shooter.
