I know i am using the kids review form but i couldn't be bothered to type in my email adress and stuff. Goldeneye Rouge agent is a great game.
It features a realistic artificial intelligence called E.V.I.L, its really good but I guess I could say that it has a few thing that could be improved. But one thing that has definately been improved is this bond game. Its really changed in a good way from the other games. This is by far my best bond game.
Now, lets get on to the graphics and physics. The graphics is really good, especially on the weapon such as guns and grenades. The physics are great. I mean you wouldn't expect a bond game to be this good but here it is. One thing I really like which is sorta physics is all the traps.
Theres lots more I would write but I have to go now. I'd reccomend it to a lot of people.

SLOPPILY MADE

Im sorry but are did we play the same game. This game was not what I expected. For all the hype about this game I expected it to be "game of the year." But the graphics are extremely poor. With the technology today the graphics SHOULD have benn much better. Also, there is "auto aim", for those of you who don't know what that is, it is a system where if you shoot NEAR a bad guy he will get the full efect of shooting him square in the chest. I hate that. Bottom line, this game COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER!

I own a huge library of Gamecube titles, mostly purchased used, and not once until now have I ever thought of trading in anything I've purchased. This is a bland, generic shooter that EA slapped with the Bond license for a quick cash-in.

On some level I can see what EA was trying to go for here. GoldenEye: Rogue Agent is a throwback to early games like DOOM and Duke Nukem where the player goes around killing enemies and blowing stuff up with less emphasis on story and structured mission objectives. Toss in some modern play mechanics with dual weapons and the ability to take hostages, and the game plays reasonably well from a control standpoint. The problem is that this is supposed to be a James Bond-related game, and except for a few disjointed cutscenes featuring familiar Bond characters, there's really nothing 'Bond' about this world at all. You're supposed to be evil, but you don't really do much that feels evil aside from triggering some environmental traps that I suspect Bond would use if he had the chance. The other problem is that the levels are simply big to the point of being mind numbing. The layout is fairly linear, and there's not enough going on to sustain the run-and-shoot gameplay. I can't remember the last time I got bored in the midst of a room of thugs trying to kill me.

There's a decent multiplayer experience here because the guns and control are decent, but there's so many more games that are worth your time that there's no point stopping for this one. Hard to recommend even to 007 fans.

Great game

I have to say this game offers up just about everything I like in a first person shooter; great graphics, a wide array of weaponry, and just the right amount of strategy and innovation. The dual weapon system, while a bit hard to get used to at first, allows your character to have surprising versatility, but not without limitations. Unlike other FPS games where you can carry a complete arsenal of handguns, rifles and explosives, Goldeneye can only carry up to 2 weapons at once, and ~3 clips of ammunition for that weapon. Early on you have to learn to conserve your ammo, as well and picking and choosing which weapons to pick up and which to leave behind.

Unfortunetly, like many games for the Gamecube, this one suffers from a very severe gameplay flaw. Even with nimble hands and hours of gameplay experience, it's impossible to make up for a controller that is just so unintuitive. The game offer 6 different controller modes, but all of them are clumsy on a controller that lacks true dual analogs. Making use of one sensitive analog stick and one, less-sensitive "c-stick" will only get you so far, and it will have you pining for the days of the surprisingly fluid controls the N64 offered you for the original Goldeneye game.

This seems to be an issue with just about any port or cross-platformer; independant developers just can't come to terms with a controller that seems like it was badly designed on purpose. However, there is hope on the horizon; the new Nintendo "Revolution" gaming console will be backwards compatible, and Nintendo is working on new "revolutionary" input devices that will hopefully allow for greater precision and intuition than their current monstrosities.

This is a great game, and it's a blast to play head to head (although the multiplayer aspect is somewhat lacking). However, if you have an Xbox or PS2, you might find your controller situation a tick more satisfying.

This is a horrible game!

I had been looking forward to this title since it was announced. However, upon playing it I was horrified to see it was a cheap version of Halo 2. The dual weapons, the recharging health, even the weapons and controls are alike. I was hoping for a classic Golden Eye or Nightfire type multi-player gameplay, but this more like a generic run and gun game. There are no bots, you can only carry two weapons at a time, you can't aim at all with most weapons, and there was no jump button. The powers you do get are stupid and pointless. The level design and graphics were terrible. The colors were like a cartoon and the game itself was glitchy. It seems EA just rushed to get this out and took little time with it. They probably spent more on advertising than the game itself. I rented it with my friends and played two matches, then we played 007 Nightfire. If you like Golden Eye you are better off just getting a N64 [...]

Okay, bad pun. It's becoming a bit of a trademark for me AND I'M STICKING TO IT!!! Now that I got that outta my system, let's move on to the review. First off, it was a longshot on EA's part to name the game after the most influential Bond game to date. But to keep the purists from pouting, I'm setting the record straight: this is NOT, in any way, related to "Goldeneye 007", movie or game. OK! Now on with the REAL review:

Story: You are a former MI6 agent working alongside James Bond to storm through a ramsacked Fort Knox, base of the legendary Auric Goldfinger. But don't get too comfy w/your partner, as he gets killed later in the beginning. That's right, folks, 007 dies a fiery death and you're held responsible; so you get canned. Ain't that a b***h? Liberated from your duties (and your eye in an explosion), you remember an offer you got from Goldfinger earlier. Welcome to the family. Now you're caught up in your new boss' feud with Dr. No. You get to work alongside villains such as Oddjob, Pussy Galore (I had a joke, but I'll restrain myself for the kids), and Scaramanga, who sets you up with an ocular implant known as the GoldenEye. Get it now? Problem with your new role as Lt. Bad@$$ is that you spend most of the time fighting Dr. No's cronies. What, no innocent civilians? Police? But I haven't gotten too far in the game, though.

Gameplay: One of the few similar aspects of Rogue Agent to its alleged predecessor is the emphasis on double-weapon combat. In fact, this makes up the majority of the gameplay, so if you don't have at least one other gun in hand, you can kiss your tail goodbye. This is because the AI is hard as hell, not to mention suprisingly intelligent. However, you'll find the same types of adversaries throughout the game, which kinda boggs down the fact that you are constantly taking on these scenic, exotic locales. Nevertheless, the enemies, as I've stated, are pretty darn strategic. They'll warn their comrades of what weapons you obtain. I doubt this does them any good but still, that's responsive. They also duck outta the way if a grenade is thrown, and use cover. A LOT. In fact, you'd better be dependent on using cover yourself, since you'll be under massive gunfire. Fortunately, there are several weapon combinations, ranging from two-armed assault rifles to one-fisted shotguns. No inventory, except one handgun and grenades, so you'll be constantly changing weapons as your enemies drop them, adding to the strategy. Some will be useful in conjunction with your ocular implant, which receives upgrades in abilities throughout the missions. To add to the "evilness" of the whole package, you're given the ability to use human shields. Simply knock an opponent senseless and push A to grab him by the neck. And when you're done, just throw him at the others. Cool AND strategic. Some may be weary of the straightforward but explosive campaign mode. That's where multiplayer hits. The (TO BE CONTINUED)

Wish it had more

This game really needs more guns and some more levels. Its cool though that you team up with 007's old enemys. Rent this game or buy it when the price goes down.

Great Bond Game

This isn't the best Bond game, but yet, a great game. I like the duel weapon feature that EA Games added in also. It could be a little better by not having the levels so long. Hong Kong was much too long. The levels that were perfect were Fort Knox, Artic Enterprises, The Casino, and Crab Key. Of all, I think Crab Key was the best because of the nice placing of checkpoints, and of the great combinations of weapons. (MAGRAILS ARE SWEET, DUDE!) The other thing is that I think it is to cheap that on the last level, one shot on you with the OMEN XR, you get erased from history, you gone, you dead, you... you get the idea. EA Games has done such a great job with this Bond game. I can't wait for the next one! Bravo!!!
