I have to start by saying that the original Goldeneye 007 game by Rare that came out on the N64 some 13 years ago is heralded by many (including myself) to be the best FPS of all time. It had a great single player campaign and an equally as good split-screen multiplayer, made so many innovations to the genre (eg) dual weapons, stealth, artificial intelligence, death animations, and it had a finely tuned difficulty curve that satisfied elite and novice gamers alike. With this new version Activision have looked at what made the original so great and tried to emulate it aswell as modernise it. So staying are the 3 levels of difficulty (plus a time trial mode), ...  Read the complete review

GoldenEye on Wii has a lot to live up to given it's ancestor on N64, and in most respects, the Wii version does itself justice. The one-player story really captures the on-edge feel of many modern 007 films, and the fact that there is a marked difference between difficulty settings means the game can suit any ability.

There is also a good range of weapons which is better than the origional. ...  Read the complete review

Before I start this review, I have to say that I am writing this as someone who has never played the Nintendo 64 game and who is not a fan of shooting games. I have owned a Nintendo 64 since it's early days, but, as I said not being a fan of shooting games, it never really appealed to me. As I am still not really a fan of shooting games, the Wii version never appealed to me when I first saw about it either, but I was convinced to buy this by one of my friends and to be perfectly honest, I'm really glad for it. There are three main modes on the game: Mission mode, Multiplayer and Online Multiplayer. First of all there is mission mode. This is ...  Read the complete review
