I like all the leveles that you can choose from. The different guns,difficulties,and easy to open codes give you many different ways to play.So over-all Goldeneye 007 is the best game I own.
Multiplayer isnt bad, Single player totally blows

This game is supposed to be a spy infiltrating a bunch of places following a guy thats going to jam all the computers in London creating global chaos. Yeah right, more like Bond running around like Rambo gunning down Russians without a hit. I'll admit the multiplayer is good, they should have added more maps and better ones. The guns are real but where did they get these names! KF7-Soviet, D5K deusch, PP7, DD44 Dostovie ? They really are supposed to be (in order) Ak-47 or AK-74, MP5 , PPK and I have no clue what the last one is. In short the game is good for the first day or two, but then it goes downhill from there.

Admittedly, Goldeneye 007 started it all. It may very well be the first FPS that was ever created.
There is nothing better than being Bond - brandishing the many weapons at his disposal (and this game has a sizeable arsenal), the Q Gadgets (who can say that they don't think the Watch Laser isn't cool?), and rubbing shoulders with the beautiful women that Bond attracts.
Goldeneye is a great game and will undoubtedly live within the sacred halls of the videogame museum (where other awesome videogames like GTAIII, Super Mario Bros., and GTA: Vice City live) forever. However, it is a bit dated now.
The graphics that seemed cutting-edge in 1995 now appear somewhat blurry. The character models - especially the faces - look blocky and unrealistic.
The music hasn't changed in ten plus years- I still find myself humming the "Statue Park" mission music. The sound produced from firing your weapons also sound awesome today. But the sound effects - especially the grunts and cries of dying enemies - are repetitious and unrealistic. In my opinion, the lack of voice talent also handicaps Goldeneye.
Multiplayer is still just as fun as it was ten years ago. The lack of suitable AI so that you can take on the "computer" by yourself makes multiplayer useless if you are playing Goldeneye alone. There are only a handful of multiplayer modes to choose from, and the combinations of weapons available are small. It would have been better had Rare allowed the player to at least customize which weapons they wanted to use within multiplayer.
In case you think that I am someone who has taken it upon myself to review Goldeneye without playing it, Goldeneye was my favorite videogame for a very long time. However, better videogames that fix the problems associated with Goldeneye have been released. Perfect Dark takes everything that is fun and "cool" from Goldeneye and enhances it. Goldeneye was a good game for its time, but Perfect Dark has all but completely eclipsed it with better multiplayer, cooler weapons, and sharper graphics.
goldeneye 3 stars

When I first got this game it was really fun. About 1/2 way through, the missions started getting impossible. It's like it jumps from easy to hard in 1 mission. And you'll notice on the back of the box it says "Smart enemies". A bag of peanuts is smarter than those guys! They stand there forever and after a good 20 seconds they notice you and start firing. This game is fun the first time around but after that it just gets BORING. If you are concerned about how to spend your money, don't buy this game.
IT'S OKAY, BUT IT'S NO REAL SPY GAME!

The game is so unrealistic. The men look like muscle men and they act so dramatic. If your right next to one they would miss if they shot at you. Well, the men are really detailed, but to detailed that's why they look like muscle men. Also there is way to many men, they just keep on reappearing. It is pretty fun, but if you want to play a real spy game play Mission:Impossible.
Sucks!!!

The movie "Goldeneye" was a box-office hit and now it comes to nintendo. Every wonder how James Bond found Natalia, how Xenia died, or how Bond killed Trevalyn. Now you get to do it yourself. You travel to Siberia to recover blueprints, go on a battleship to save hostages, launch a space shuttle, and shoot all the bad guys you want with over 30 weapons from Gernades, lasers, all handguns, machine guns and rocket and nuclear bombs. Try out the game to see what you would do if you were Bond. Here's your chance to be 007.
Difficult

I had to use a Gameshark to get the extra levels on this game. It's tough. It shows you just how hard it would be to be a secret agent.
There are two features about this game that I really like. The first is what I'd like to call maim-ability. If you shoot someone in the leg, they'll hold onto their leg, same with the arm, the head, and even the groin. Before this game, the most you could hope for was that characters would bleed when they were shot and fall down when they'd die.
Still maim-ability doesn't mean that when you shoot them in the leg they won't be able to run again. They'll limp for a few seconds and then be as good as new, except take a lot less shots to kill.
Some of the tougher characters take a lot of hits before they're even to the point of getting to maim-ability. You have to shoot the boss of the game 10 times in the head before he even shows signs of weakening.
The second thing I like about this game is the spy feel of it. You go on missions, and you work with gadgets (although some are indeed lame). But the cool thing is, on some missions, you've got to be really quiet and sneaky. You sneak down halls and pick off unsuspecting guards one by one with well-aimed shots. Of course, if you get bored of that, you can always make a lot of noise, have a bunch of guards come after you, and blow everyone away.
This game is pretty realistic. There may be better games now, but during its time, this game was cutting-edge stuff. It's worth remembering, even though it was hard as heck. I usually just like playing the easy levels and maiming bad guys quietly.
Great game, but...

Goldeneye is a great game, but lacks originality in 1-player mode. After playing a few scenarios, you will realise it is very repetitive, but multiplayer is a different story. With 3 other players firing at you from all angles, the pressure is really on. I git an N64 for £50 here in England, with Goldeneye, but I would happily pay another £50 for Perfect Dark, if it ever comes out over here! Goldeneye doesn't have an enormous variety of firearms, but enough to provide a challenge in both modes, so all in all, Goldeneye rox, dude - buy it (from Amazon preferably) if you haven't already got it...peace out...
