I had this years after it came out and have to say it is as good if not better than Golden eye. The Controls and layout are the same but there the similarities end as the plot pulls you into a world of spying and killing.
Each level is different and offers a nice set of challenges ranging from rescuing hostages with a sniper rifle to sneaking around a base. Weapons wise there are some interesting type which all are balanced and work well when you go for the multiplayer game play, my favorite being the laptop gun which doubles as a weapon emplacement to which you can leave around as a nasty surprise.
The Multiplayer side of the game is where the parties at as this offers all the thrills and tactical fun for 4 a side shoot-em-up and i can say the amount of swear words uttered by my friends after getting killed only adds to the need to keep playing.
Graphics for this game are better then most of the earlier Nintendo games but not by much and this is due the memory upgrade you will need if you want to play this game. But so worth it to play such a top notch game. If you want to collect Nintendo 64 games, please make sure the console you buy has this feature as the memory upgrade is rarer than gold dust.
All in all this is a nice addition to anyones collection and I have to admit to playing it now and then even though i bought years ago.
