I played Goldeneye mainly because that's what they gave me at the Science & Engineering Library. I have very little experiance with first person shooters (the only ones I've ever played are Halo and Halo 2, and I'm TERRIBLE at them), so it's kind of an adjustment for me.
So I'm at the very, very bottom of the learning curve, especially since I didn't find out that there was a control diagram until oh... about halfway through the hour I played for. So I was shooting blindly without a scope for most of the first mission, but I got it figured out eventually. The first level was not that hard, luckily (even though I finished it by accident). I actually liked how linear it was- clear one area, find the exit, clear the next area, find the exit, etc. Where I really started having problems was in the second mission, which was much less linear. The first-person view tends to throw off my sense of direction, so the lack of a map or spesific directions caused me to kind of run around aimlessly, killing anything that showed up. This got boring after the second time I died without progressing any further into the level.
