About

GoldenEye 007 is a first-person shooter video game developed by Rare and based on the 1995 James Bond film GoldenEye. It was released for the Nintendo 64 video game console in August 1997. The game features a single-player campaign in which players assume the role of British Secret Intelligence Service agent James Bond as he fights to prevent a criminal syndicate from using a satellite weapon against London to cause a global financial meltdown. The game includes a split-screen multiplayer mode in which two, three, or four players can compete in different types of deathmatch games.
GoldenEye 007 was developed over a period of two and a half years by an inexperienced team led by Martin Hollis, who had previously worked on the coin-op version of Killer Instinct. It was partially conceived as an on-rails shooter inspired by Sega's Virtua Cop, before being redesigned as a free-roaming shooter. The game was highly acclaimed by the gaming media and sold over eight million copies worldwide, making it the third-best-selling Nintendo 64 game. It received the BAFTA Interactive Entertainment Games Award and four awards from the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences.
Retrospectively, GoldenEye 007 is considered an important game in the history of first-person shooters for demonstrating the viability of game consoles as platforms for the genre, and for signalling a transition from the then-standard Doom-like approach to a more realistic style. It pioneered features such as atmospheric single-player missions, stealth elements, and a console multiplayer deathmatch mode. The game is frequently cited as one of the greatest video games of all time. A spiritual successor, Perfect Dark, was released in 2000, while a reimagining of the game, also titled GoldenEye 007, was released in 2010.

GoldenEye 007 (1997) reviews and comments

I wanna like this game. I really do. I know that it was a pioneer in console shooters. I know without its impact some of my favorite games never would have happened. I know that it had to do the best it could with the god awful n64 controller. But man does this game blow. Even just controlling the game is such a nightmare that it's near impossible to enjoy the rest of it. I wish I could give a better review of this one, but it has just aged too poorly. I barely got an hour in. 
Gameplay 7/10. Graphics 9/10. Soundtrack 8/10. Storyline 8/10. OVERALL 8.0/10. (A 8.5)
«Can’t stop playing»
Bester multiplayer ever. Period.
