GoldenEye 007 Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
GoldenEye is the type of game N64 owners have been waiting for since they finished Mario 64.
It’s good to see you again, Mr. Bond. After more than 25 years, GoldenEye 007 has still got the same magic that made it such a seismic event upon its release in 1997. This Xbox version might be missing online multiplayer and cheat codes, but don’t let that put you off. It’s still utterly wonderful.
When GoldenEye 007 works it feels like one of the best shooters on DS, but the combat blemishes are frequent enough to become quite maddening. Still, players able to look past occasional hokey weapon damage and pinpoint enemy accuracy will find a lot to like here, especially if they happen to be a fan of Ian Fleming's most famous creation or are just looking for a handheld shooter not named Call of Duty.
GoldenEye 007 is a bit ropey in places, especially during multiplayer games, but the single-player campaign is simple fun and the online play is surprisingly entertaining and thorough.
GoldenEye 007 on the Nintendo DS is a better multiplayer game than it is a single-player experience. But ultimately it’s not a good replacement for the Wii game, nor can it stand up to the classic Nintendo 64 original. It's definitely the weakest entry in N-Space's DS first-person shooters -- Call of Duty: Black Ops, released in the same window, looks to be the better FPS option.
