The first person shooter has never been one of the better genres in my opinion, so after playing Doom I was more than skeptical of playing Goldeneye, which looked like just another boring third person shooter. After all, most movie games stink, so why should this game be any different, right? That's until I actually played it. Talk about great surprise, not only is Goldeneye 007 the best movie game ever, it is also one of the, if not the best, Nintendo 64 games out there (yes, even better than Mario, Zelda, and Banjo) Only FZero X and Revenge are better, in my opinion!

GRAPHICS (8/10): The graphics are very realistic and lifelike, and it feels that you are actually part of the James Bond action. Howwever, there is some breakup, especially when there is a lot of action on screen at the same time. The enemy are designed very well, but sometimes look grainy, especially when viewed up close.

CONTROL (10/10): Using the analog stick akes a while to get used to, but overall the control is a lot better than the control in Zelda or Mario. I like the fact that it is easy and comfortable to switch between weapons by simply pushing the Z trigger. Great overall control in a superb game.

GAMEPLAY (10/10): The single player mode is fun, and is a lot more fun than most of the first perso shooters out there. There are a lot of objectives to complete, including finding keys and launching rockets. The stages are varied, so there are diffrerent things to do in each stage. You won't be bored by just mowing down enemies like you probably usually are in most games like this. Despitre the GREAT single player mode, the best part of Goldeneye is multiuplayer mode. Yep, you and up to three friends can blow the brains out of each other in multiplayer mode, and you can play several different modes within multiplayer mode which is really cool.

FUN FACTOR (10/10): Still skeptical about Goldeneye 007 being "same old, same old?" Trust me, this game is far different, and fa better than most first person shooters. Throw your copys of Doom and Wolfenstien away (or at least into the closet!!)
