alright, face it, everybody loves blowing the crap out of people, especially me. this game is cool. i mean, the controls you start with are confusing for some people, but at least you can change them. I, personally think this game is a great first person shooter and would recommend buying it if you are a FPS fan

This game looks fun and has a great twist . I was thinking it was going to be a seque to the Goldeneye game for N64. I am now glad that EA did not do that. I think it would be fun to be a Bond Villian and glad you get to be one in the game. I think it is just as cool to meet villans from the Bond movies like Odd Job,Goldfinger,Dr.No and so on. Besides the fact your not Bond. I mean come on what would be more fun to do, "Save the World or Rule It"! Goldeneye:Rogue Agent is going to be sweet. I cant wait to buy it. Although I'm going to miss being Bond, but being a Bond Villian sound alot more fun. I hope you will wach the Bond movies and buy the other games 2.(...)

This game is the best. One reason, you can do things that you couldn't in other Bond games. When I heard of this game I thought it would be the Goldeneye for Nintendo64 only on gamecube. But I was wrong this game is the best if you can get any game this would be the best.

whooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

OK you have to admit that this game has it's good moments, but I would have thought that with the success of "All or Nothing" and the failure of Angelfire that all of the Bond games would have followed the obvious pattern of "All or nothing". The part that I really hate is the fact that you have to shoot the guys 10 or more times to get a hit and they run around like a bunch of panzies while you're shooting at them. OK, I expect them do do a certain bit of running around, but after a while it gets to be like a game of "ring around the rosies". While the game does have it's enjoyable moments, it's not as enjoyable as it could have been. Hopefully the next game, they'll do better.

The Generic first person shooter with a slight 007 twist

With the high-tech techno/rock/acid music pervading all the levels, the odd controls including the somewhat mandatory option to wield all weapons one-handedly (except assault rifles and rocket launchers) allowing for two weapons to be wielded at once, and the much harsher technological grittiness of the whole thing (insanely high tech items, weird futuristic weapons, cloned enemies that range from looking like SWAT team members to the Vin Diesel character Riddick), this does not feel like a Bond game.

I think, if it weren't for the slightly familiar "acidic" version of the Bond theme on the main menu, and the presence of Bond villains like Auric Goldfinger, Dr. No, Pussy Galore, Francisco Scaramanga, Oddjob, Xenia Onatopp and others, this wouldn't be a Bond game at all, but "Random Action Shoot-em-up 2004"

The "E.V.I.L. AI" I either must not have seen yet (I'm not completely through the campaign) or is so unremarkable as to be not there. It apparently consists of individual enemies shooting at you, then trying to run up to you to bash you over the head with their weapons if you aren't fast enough to shoot them. Since almost all of them wear high tech body armor, it takes quite a few shots from even a rapid-fire machine gun (resembling "Goldeneye 64's RCP-90") to take them down. There's no blood, no permanent bodies, and no realistic methods of death. Slain enemies take a second or two to keel over, in the same two or three motions of falling forward as if drunk, or keeling backwards.

It's absolutely astonishing that MI-6 would reject this guy (as seen in a cutscene) considering how much of an expert with guns this guy must be. He's able to wield two separate guns, no matter how big, reload them without dropping either gun for any reason, and can absorb unbelievable amounts of damage (on Normal mode!) and can even regenerate health and armor! In fact, the only reason I can see that he's been kicked out is because he let MI-6's golden boy James Bond die in a simulation where really there was nothing he could do---Bond was hanging off a ledge several feet away, and by the time Goldeneye reaches him, he falls to his death.

One thing about the game that is fantastic is the cutscenes. The 3D modeling is smooth and beautiful without being too gritty "warts and all" like Shrek, which would probably make this game 4 or 5 discs instead of 2. The story is actually a good one, which has Goldeneye working for Auric Goldfinger, starting off in a war with Dr. No, and actually making Goldfinger look not like a maniacal enemy seeking the world's destruction, but rather like a crime boss with his priorities in order. Scaramanga makes an appearance as the inventor of Goldeneye's eye implant (hence his name) which allows some mildly helpful, but ultimately unimportant technologies you really wouldn't need except for one or two instances in some missions.

All in all, aside from the cutscenes, story, and main theme music, you would never be able to tell this is a Bond game. There's none of that flair, style, or mood pervasive in all other Bond games. Even though you're playing a bad guy, you and your enemies seem of such high caliber, class, and technique, that it makes the franchise seem more like something out of a ridiculously complex spy movie.

Underrated

I read reviews and got a tad worried about the quality of this game. Well I got it anyway and I'm very pleased. It seems like a lot of people are complaining because it's either, not Halo or not the origianl Goldeneye.
The bottom line is, it's fun. No bots in multiplayer is a downer, I admit, but if you have atleast one person you can play multiplayer with then you'll have a good time. I'm not all the way through the game, but the single player so far is amusing me as well. And take auto aim off when you play, it's more fun.

A true fps

This game is a true firt person shooter. If you are looking for a richer 007 experience stick to everything or nothing but if you like blowing out brains from now until monday this is your game.

It's good to be bad.

Introduction:
Before getting this game, I checked for reviews on places like Gamespot or IGN. Both, and other reviewers, gave the game a terrible score. While I respect these reviewers, they got it all wrong. Goldeneye: Rogue Agent is an amazing experience, unlike anything you have ever played. However, it does not come without flaws.

The Good:
This game offers many redeeming qualities. DJ Paul Oakenfield's soundtrack is nothing short of spectacular. It has an exceptional dual weapons system, levels that match their movie counterparts, and spectacular graphics. (I have a gamecube) Furthermore, it has great "Goldeneye" powers. But above all, It has an amazing multiplayer experience; You don't need internet to realize it's full potential.

The Bad:
Unfortunately, this game is by no means perfect. It's AI system (EVIL) rarely offers anything special, despite the emotion it gives bots. And this game lacks something recent Bond games were proud to have- Multiplayer bots. But the most disappointing thing is the length of Single Player levels. There are only eight levels, but each one can take 1-2 hours, except the first. And doing well in single player is needed to unlock many MP skins, so many will find themselves playing uneventful levels over and over.

Conclusion:
Goldeneye: Rogue agent doesn't quite live up to its expectations. For the gamer playing for single player, this is not your ideal selection. But for a small group of people who want to have the greatest gamecube multiplayer experience ever, buy the game. And remember: Shake up the world, don't settle for stirred.

Ok game if you can find it cheap

I got this at the Blockbuster/GameRush store. The store in my area allows me to trade in games for used ones so I got this one. Having played "From Russia with Love" which was a great Bond by EA, I went ahead and received this one for a mere five bucks.

Well unlike the other game it's a first person shooter. Not really a bad thing but the game can get rather repetitive. The AI as others have pointed out could have used more work but in general a lot of First Person Shooters (especially the early ones) are known for this. The game also doesn't quite have the depth, replay value or creativity that the other game had too. On a scale of 1-10, I would give the other game close to a 10 and this game about a 5 1/2.

The graphics were easy on the eyes and boatload of movies were fun to watch. It was also a treat for a brief time to hear the voice of the great Christopher Lee.

The story is all over the place but if you're a Bond fan I doubt you'll care. You accidentally kill Bond himself then work for Goldfinder or Dr. No? Then along the way you meeet Bond girl Pussy Galore or something like that.

The story itself probably like the rest of this game definitely needed more tweaking. However, the levels/missions are long enough. For me for five backs it's a great deal. However, anything over that would be ridiculous.

If you are into FPS though, you'll want to pick it up.
