GoldenEye007 for me is a source of good memories for me when i was younger. A friend of mine owned this game and we would spend hours in the multiplayer mode hunting eachother down in various levels of the game. However, I never had the chance to play the one-player mode of GoldenEye007 and go through each of the missons that were part of the GoldenEye movie. So when i checked out this game, i was intent on playing the one-player mode to see what it was like. (although we were only permitted to check out one controller at a time, so one-player mode was my only option)
So i started to play the first coupple of missions and i was remembering the controlls for walking, exchanging and firing different wepons. This game requires smooth controlls to be able to aim and shoot right, and if you have a stcky button or analog stick on your controller, it makes the game that much more difficult to play. (which was sadly the case in my experience)
The level design for this game is fun, and couppling it with the FPS style of gameplay gives you the feeling of sneaking around an enemy Soviet base, even though the graphics for the enviornment appear reppetitive, and the characters look somewhat blocky.
The major downfall for this game is the faulty AI. There were times where the fact that the AI for certain characters kept glitching took the fun out of the game to the point where i got annoyed and wanted to turn the game off. One such example would be the several "Rescue Natalya" missions. After being descovered, dieing, and loosing the mission countless times, its disheartening when you have completed all the objectives and you are making your escape with Natalya when she gets caught behind a box or some piece of the environment, running in place, and gets caught in an explosion, or is descovered and killed by the enemy, when you are a few steps from finally beating the mission.
For this factor alone made the game a lot less enjoyable.
