James Bond 007: GoldenEye - Nintendo Wii

Multiplayer is what makes this shine
I almost want to say that to really appreciate this game, you need to have played the original GoldenEye for N64. In other words, I do have some bias because that was a pretty landmark fps game, and I found it a highlight during my college years.Jump ahead a decade and a half, and fps have come a long way, so this won't stand out like it used to.There are a lot of great fps games for the various systems, but this is the best by far for the Wii. There are some great customizable controls with the wiimote, which is the preferred method of choice by many expert users. However, it's not as confusing to customize as say on the game "Conduit", which is not as good as Goldeneye. It lets you control what you need. I purchased a classic controller pro to use for this game, and it's great, although as good of a controller as on the PS3, but it's cheap. The best players with the wiimote are better than the best with the classic controller. I can choose from a selection of various controller button options, but I can't customize each button. I wish I could, but I understand they are catering to people who want to get into the game quickly, and the options they have are some of the best, either left or right handed.The solo mission can be vary difficult when trying the harder levels. Very hard. And I can go back and retry missions, so playability is okay. But where the game really shines is in multiplayer. I haven't been this hooked on any kind of multiplayer game, and I think a large part of it is because you can earn experience points with each fight and raise your level higher. The higher you go, the more weapons and accessories there are that you can unlock, enhancing the fun factor. I find this factor singlehandedly the best thing they've done with Goldeneye. You can see your rankings with other players around the world. You can play with friends, groups, or just on your own. You can play with or against up to 8 people at a time, and the map selections are very good.Some subtleties--I like the fact that this game is about humans on a mission, with a storyline that is very familiar with the mainstream. I have no interest in humans fighting aliens or monstrous creatures. I take interest in weapons that are of the real world, and missions that make sense. This is just something that I can appreciate, as it bucks the trend.Overall, I highly recommend this game because of the multiplayer aspect, which lets you play continuously by moving up the ranks. That alone is worth its purchase. As far as controls go, I find the wiimote to not be as natural for me, and I use the classic controller pro. I wish the controller was a little bit more sensitive, but it does the job.

Fantastic, indeed!
Goldeneye's single-player campaign is fantastic. Its multiplayer, however, is only partially up to snuff.In the one player mode, you have several different difficulties, just like in the original. When you play on the lower modes like Agent, you have fewer objectives and I'd imagine that the enemies shoot a little slower or something. And on 007 Classic Mode, you have to make use of body armor to protect your health, again like the N64 game (although there aren't any health packs).There are two ways to progress through Goldeneye: 1) Sneak around. 2) Blow everyone to kingdom come. Option 2 ultimately results in a Call of Duty clone, and that's no fun. I really enjoyed the stealth elements of this campaign. It's very easy to get into the scenario, asking yourself questions like, "Will I get caught if I sneak this way?" or "Will I able to shoot this guard, then shoot the one watching him before he calls reinforcements?" I know that I felt nervous for old James more than a few times while playing this.There are only a couple of spots where enemies spawn infinitely, which is great because I've always hated that. You can clear the area of enemies, then roam around completing objectives at your leisure. This too is reminiscent of the original. The graphics of the campaign are good, too. They're not the best Wii has to offer, but they're certainly up there.The online multi-player of this game is where it falls a little flat. Black Ops Wii, which was released around the same time, is all kinds of better. I won't say that Goldeneye's multi-player gameplay is actually inferior, but the graphics and overall amount of options certainly are. In stark contrast to the campaign levels, the online maps are verging on N64 material. Heck, I think Perfect Dark looks a little better than this game's online mode. But even so, the maps succeed in the fun department. There are an abundance of sniper spots on these levels, and the aim assist makes killing players pretty easy.Goldeneye is the only Wii FPS with a local multiplayer of which I'm aware. There are probably others, but it's doubtful any of those can hold a candle to this one. Worthwhile to the max, yo!

Great game!
Great game! A very engaging re-imagined version of the N64 version. Some of the missions are a little short but still very fun. The music was a little disappointing especially compared to Quantum of Solace for the Wii where there was more of the traditional Bond music. All in all, great game!
