This game goldeneye was one of the first games ive played when i was little.My siblings don't play it anymore so now its mine
Although it is a nintendo 64 game it is very challenging. O.K. graphics but very very fun. It does also have blood in it. Overall it is a great game. Buy it right now!

Ok, this game was good when it was released. It is probabley still better than most shooters today. The game is not that violent, just a typical shooter. The graphics were good at the time. One of the best shooters ever made!
Great game, great condition

This is one of the most fun games I've ever played. I bought it used and it came out of box, however the shipper said this so it was just like the shipper said. It worked perfect, no problems, nothing. Great condition, great game!
I've put more hours into this game than I think is possible to keep track of.

This game was certainly a welcome addition to the N64. When I first got this game as a kid, I was so excited because I loved James Bond. Luckily this is one of the few licensed games that will not smash your hopes and dreams, even more so, it goes far beyond what you could have hoped for. The graphics were great at the time. The soundtrack was straight out of the movie, which is good in my opinion. They really captured the essence of James Bond in this game, more than they have in any other James Bond game, and lets be honest here, a couple of the crappier movies as well. It also follows the storyline of the movie itself pretty well, but they still allowed themselves room to make the game a little more fun. There are tons of guns, and a couple neat gadgets as well. This game essentially perfected multi player for a shooter on a console at the time. That, on top of the campaign being so good it makes you want to play it over and over again on different difficulties, not only gives this game a bunch of re-playability, but is also the reason this game stands out so much, and is considered by nearly everyone as one of the best shooters out there.

I have fond memories of this game, and still get together to play it with friends.
Before GoldenEye, first person shooters were primarily PC affairs, played with a keyboard and mouse, and multiplayer required either internet or network capabilities, which, at the time, I didn't have. GoldenEye changed this. Just like Mario Kart, you could get four players hooked in. Except instead of bumping Bowser off a race track, you were running around and laying down the heat as Bond, or one of his allies/antagonists. There are plenty of modes, arenas, and weapons to choose from, ranging from deathmatch to 'flag tag'. And once in a while you have to play with "slappers only."
In addition to the Multiplayer aspects, it has an excellent Single-Player mode. It's mission objective based (meaning that failure is entirely possible), and as difficulty increases, so do the number of objectives and conditions you have to fulfill.
The music is also notable. Sure it's entirely synhtesized/MIDI, but in those days, that was the state of the art. The music fits the scenes pretty well, mostly being varied riffs on the classic John Barry Bond theme, some being a little different.
The game contains a nice variety of weapons and plenty of secrets to unlock ( by speedrunning levels while fulfilling all objectives).
Whether you've never played this classic or you're looking back on the 'good old days', you should play it. This
is Rare's N64 Masterwork ( Perfect Dark is pretty sweet, too).
A good experience

I am a major player of 007 games. I have played nearly every single one, but I have to say, GoldenEye is one of the best that there is, even years and platforms later. Even though I have a GameCube with all of the other 007 games, I still to this day find myself returning to play a round of Goldeneye.
GoldenEye has a great plotline (in my opinion, even better than the movie) and long missions, which allow a lot of replay value. The graphics are a bit blurry, but that is to be expected in an N64 FPS.
Overall, I love this game, and would reccomend it to any 007 fan.

Golden Eye 007 is still one of the best action titles ever created, along with the best licensed product ever released. The action is still superb and well-polished even since its release 10 years ago. The enemies are still smart, even with competitors like F.E.A.R. which have incredibly intelligent artificial intellignce. There are a couple of issues unfortunately; some targeting problems and odd save layouts. Other than those, this game is still one of the best shooters ever made. The missions are excellent, the enemies are cool, the weapons are cool, and virtually everything else about this game is superb and well-executed. Too bad Nintendo handed the rights of James Bond to EA.

I read this one guys review who said this is the greatest 1st person shot out. Well your wrong. First of all Halo is way better, also Call of DUty, and also the other james bond games. I am a fan of the James Bond games but not this one. I borrowed it from my friend. Theres no plot they just throw you in a mission and kill guys and do it again. It got so boring and easy so I quit even on hard mode. So if you see this game even for a penny just smash it with a hammer and dont make eye contact.
