This game is awesome. It is Bond first person shooting at a whole new level.Instead of being Bond you are a agent hired by goldfinger that was released from MI6 for killing Bond (I didn't ruin anything. It happens in the first cutscene.)
The game allows you to dual-weild weapons, much like Halo2&3.This really helps when you are out-numbered(which is most of the time).Don't let that drive you away from this fantastic game. It is pretty easy on the easy difficulty and gets harder as you progress into one-life mode.The missions are kinda lengthy but not much longer than Halo.Also the check point places are brilliantly placed.
Multiplayer is awesome. You can't use bots but you can play online.It is also fun blowing away your pals in split-screen.

its a good game but is this all they could make up

This game was preaty cool. In the game you work for goldfinger and Odd Job versing Dr No. That seemed cool but it didnt fell like the other James Bond games as before. But what made me mad was when I heard you work for Goldfinger I thought you were going to be the villian but no that would make it to fun and thats not what they were going for. Also the graphics suck. But still it was a good game, like you get to use a goldeneye which you can use to fight people. I never beat the game I got stuck on the last level and thats because I have no patience. So if you want to try this game I suggest you rent it.

Fun, but I've seen better

When I first got this game, I was addicted to it. I only wished I could play multiplayer more often (there's no bots).
Listen, I wanna give this game a four. It's just so fun! But there are numorous things that hold this game back from glory. Here's the breakdown:

Good:
.All the weapons you would expect, as well as some suprises
.For the most part, good multiplayer maps.
.Once upon a 2004-2006, there was online for this game
.DUEL WIELDING!!!!!!!!
.Uplink, Golden Gate Bridge, and Funhouse just rock

Bad:
.some glitches (no game freezes so far though, and one glitch is really interesting...see my discussion "GoldenEye Glitches")
.Single-player gets repetitive after a while, some levels too long
.thanks to the great planners at EA (yeah right), online has been shut down for PS2 as of 11/17/06 (PS3 launch)

You may notice the lack of "bad" things. The reason I give this game a three and not a four is because there isn't anything in this game that another game doesn't do better. But this game is still really fun, and you should rent it (for GC, PS2, Xbox). Peace out :).

Granted, this is a very fun game, but it doesn't really make sense. It is pretty innovational that you can play as a rogue 00 Agent against the MI6. This is one of those games in which you have to not pay attention to the storyline and just play the game.

A lot of things don't make sense. First of all, all of the characters in the game were killed by James Bond in the movies. Next, if you are playing as a Bond villain, then why are you trying to kill other Bond villains. You can't even call this a "Bond" video game. He is killed (?!?) in the opening cutscene of the very first mission. The Bond villains don't even mention his name at all. The story is somewhat strange. And finally, the gameplay is very linear. Unlike in other Bond 1st-Person video Games, instead of being allowed to go around and accomplish other objectives, the only thing you can do in this game is go forward along the path of enemies and just kill. That's all you really have to do in the missions, just kill, move on, and kill.

On the good side, the graphics are pretty good and the weapons are interesting. One thing EA brought back from Goldeneye for N64 is the ability to carry two weapons, and not just two of the same kind, but two different kinds.

All in all, this is an average "Bond"/"Anti-Bond" shooting game. My advice is to enjoy it and accept it for what it is.

Give it up EA,This game is not as good as the original Goldeneye!

The World Is Not Enough=Was OK(I mean the N64 version)
007 NightFire=KRAP
007 DAD=Worst game EVVA
Agent Under Fire=Trash
007 Everything Or Nothing=Good game
007 From Russia W/Love=OK
GoldenEye:Rogue Agent=Trashy and Very TRASHY!

Just give RARE back the 007 Licence EA you guys suck at making Bond games most of the Time,You may be good at making other games(BLACK is brilliant,NFS is great,MoH is also good etc,etc,etc) But Bond is not 4U!

Peace Out.

It's a really good game -- you should get it!

From my 12 year old son: It's got great graphics and I like how you can hold 2 guns at once. The guns are really cool. It's just the best game -- you should get it!

Great $20 game.

This is a great FPS game. You can hold two weapons at once, allowing combinations that can be fun and helpful. Unlocking items can be difficult if that's what you're going for. Overall, it's a FPS Bond game. Working as a Rogue Agent is a little more appealing than saving the world, but that's just me.

I just don't get it?

I really don't get,all these review shows and magazines say this game isn't very good. Well I think it is very good. First off, the gameplay is awesome. I mean,duel weild mombas and you can take on a whole level. Who doesn't like shooting guys through the wall with mag-rails and your killer golden eye. Towards the end (or what I think is the end)is really hard. your trying to take on roomfulls of enemies and a boss(well a semiboss). Thats the weird thing is that the semiboss dudes are harder than the actual bosses. X-whatsername is like so easy, just take her sheild down and shoot her in the head a couple of times and she falls of the dam. That brings me to my next point that is the story doesn't really make sense either. what's up with killing oddjob? The multiplayer was supposed to be the best part in the original,but it ain't that good in this one. I would recomend this game for PS2 owners who can't get mature games(like me).

INTENSE FPS ACTION AT A NICE PRICE

I was playing REVENGE OF THE SITH and got a little bored with it. I said to myself, "I need to put down this lightsaber and get me some guns." Even though I bought this a while ago for 50 bucks, it was just sitting around the house because I put so much time in on KILLZONE. I looked at the manual for the controls and popped it in. I wasn't expecting much. Not too many people liked it. Well, I have to say this one is definitely a lot of FUN!! And guns are way better than lightsabers anyway.

I've never played GOLDENEYE for N64, so I can't say how it stacks up. I thought EGM magazine said it was the same engine. I don't care, I'm having a blast with this!!

The character was a little clunky at first, but I got into the OPTIONS during PAUSE and ramped up the SENSITIVITY for the X and Y axis almost ALL THE WAY. Now the action is fast and I'm moving well. Getting a handle on the controls EARLY is essential. You can only carry one weapon in each hand at any one time and some weapons require 2 hands. 2 handed weapons have a ZOOM feature as well as the SNIPER RIFLE. You also need to pick up weapons that are dropped, very quickly and on the fly. Grenades look weird, but you can throw them far. The animation makes it look like you're throwing a candied yam. Yay. You can only throw grenades with your left hand and only when your left hand is empty. So I learned very quickly to drop my left-handed weapon and throw a grenade, then pick up the weapon again in my left hand in one quick movement. Again, learning the controls early is ESSENTIAL. I've never played an FPS with 2 handed weapons, so it was a nice change to have 2 triggers on the L1 and R1 buttons. Very nice.

The difficulty of this game goes up very quickly in a short amount of time and the game is hard going in places. Firefights are intense and cinematic. Keeping a cool head, using defilade, and reloading constantly is a must. The game is designed nicely to give you the proper cover in most situations. Someone here complained about the difficulty. It is hard and I would recommend the EASY setting for newbies. But, if you're an FPS veteran, you'll find that wading through the enemy is at times fast and furious. At other times, bumrushing the enemy will get you killed. The reviewer below said you'll kill at least 100 guys a level. I just completed the VERY LONG Hong Kong level last night and clocked in 262 kills. Wholesale slaughter at a very decent price.

You'll also receive BONUS POINTS for imaginative kills and taking enemies hostage for defilade is very cool. Enemy AI can be very smart or very dumb. Just like in real life. Enemy death animations are stylish and real looking. However, the game doesn't feel realistic, but more like a cinematic anime cartoon. Okay by me.

Health regenerates when you're hiding and you can pick up the armor from dead enemies if you haven't unloaded a whole clip into them.

Most of the weapons are standard fare. Don't forget to use the 357s. They have some punch I was not expecting. But, there are some clever weapons too. Some guy was shooting green darts at me, so I killed him and picked up his VENOM PISTOL in my right hand. I shot the next enemy with it, paralyzed him, then took him out with the uzi in my left hand. Very Bond.

One of the coolest features is the GOLDENEYE. With 4 different devices that you earn along the way. After completing 3 very long levels, I acquired 3 of them. One of the EYES sees through walls, stairwells, and objects. Which is very handy at times. Especially when you're looking to see how many enemies are hiding behind that barricade. And when you're using the RAILGUN which shoots through walls. Other times you won't need it. One of the best is the HACKING EYE, which can be used on the machine environment to kill, disable enemy weapons, or move objects. A welcome feature that makes you feel like a hightech killer. Mastering their use is essential to mastering the game. Learn to use them early.

I think the graphics are awesome. They can be a little trippy or weird at times. Not as good as the cell-shaded look of KILLZONE, but very anime none the less. My favorite environs so far where the Bathhouse in Hong Kong, the Snowdome, and the Vegas Casino.

The music is incredible and gives that cinematic Bond feel to the proceedings. Make sure you check out the song in the ending credits. Very funny lyrics. "I wanna stretch my limo." Use the THX PRO LOGIC if you have it. The surround effects work GREAT. The game also has a WIDESCREEN setting.

Why does everyone compare every game to HALO!?! Is this the only game people play? Okay, your loss.

I haven't played the multi-player and I don't have broadband for online play, so I can't comment on those functions. But, if you love FPSs this may be right up your alley. IT'S DEFINITELY FUN!! And the PRICE IS RIGHT!!

ENJOY!!

yeah, this game is pretty awesome. This is pretty much what u do for all the levels- get an uzi in each hand and just blow dudes away left and right.Seriously u take on about 100 people in each level and amazingly win.But if u dont no what yur doin u will die real quick. There some real hard levels but this game is great to play with a friend when ur hanging out. The two player is about the coolest for any shoOter iv ever seen. U have a choice of at least ten awesome places and u can modify what guns u what, time,# of kills blah blah.U can play it for hours just going one on one . THe weapons are the best part of the game to me. Heres a little bit of your arsenel-uzis(probably one of the best guns in the game),assualt rifles,rocket launchers(1 hit kill),lazer rifles(one hit kills),remote detonation bomb pistols(u shoot a bomb on someone and then press fire again to blow thier hineys sky high),grenades,mag rails(these babies jsut pretty much just shoot rails of steel at people and impale the mess out of em,one hit killer), and of course the famous goldengun, in multiplayer.one more thing-if you have seen the matrix u no the part where hes on the helicopter and hes coming to save morpheus and he has like a minigun- well theres one just like that in the game. yeah didd i mention u can have a gun in each hand,which is so awesome its unbelievable.if u buy this game, which u probably will if your reading this, the best gun combo is definately a mag rail and an uzi. another good one is two pistols,just taking em out old western style.
ok so

PROS-Gansterfabulous rambo scarface gameplay.Lets be honest though its so impossible to kill like twenty dudes in the same room with u, but in this game u can do it with ease.

-one on one showdown awesome multiplayer(the best iv ever seen since the original goldeneye on that little ghetto N64.

-AWESOME GRAPHICS

-supergangster arsenal of firepower

-youll play it for hours with friends

-little hint- the best multiplayer level is the funhouse if u buy this game

CONS-some of the levels are really hard on one player.youll be stuck in alot of situations where its u against like twenty guys with assualt rifles all in one room and all u have is a little sissy pistol. u litterly have to avoid most of that gunfire and whoop one guys butt real quick,steal his gun and then try to take out like the other twenty guys. it will take u twenty trys sometimes just to get thru one section of a level.

-there arent that many health packs. u pretty much have this one little bar of health and u have to be real careful or youll die real quick. but ur health slowly regenrates, and there is armor u can take off jacked up carcasses u have demolished(just kidding the dudes dissapear once u waste em)

well thats about it. all in all this is a great game to get if your just starting off with a ps2 or ur a old veteran. its the funnest game i have to play with friends so get it fo sure.
