Goldeneye 64 - The first FPS Bond game

yea goldeneye was pretty good, i could never really beat it without all those cool cheats though.

I still play it on my PC using an emulator. Playing it with a mouse and keyboard makes it even better... Graphics-wise, it looks as good if not better than any PC FPS from that general time period. I like how it has a mix of mindless blasting and tactical elements. Moderns shooters seem to be either/or, with no good combo games. BTW, if you like Goldeneye 64, then also check out Perfect Dark, another great espianoge shooter from Rare. Except you play a hot chick in PD

especially multiplayer...

the N64 was probably my favorite console
and bond games are my favorite

when you put those two together...
it's amazing

Your right about the sound and gfx, BUT not for that time, for the time when 007-64 came out the graphics were the best out there, (becides hl although hl wasnt even planned to be a console game since they are strictly online play and single play.) goldeneye which was followed by the amazing game Perfect dark were probaly the best fps for consoles ever to come out, and the best ones that will ever come out.

Some people say halo is the best fps to come out for a console BUT the problem with halo 2 and halo 1 is that it is WAY WAY to easy golden eye and perfect dark on the hardest modes were almost impossable which made the game good because it took skill to beat, and on the easiest modes it even took 1-2 days to get past, some times even longer (there are people making mods for perfect dark and goldeneye for HL2) not to mention perfect dark had one of the most revolutionary playing styles in which before and after certian missions you could go into the main base and do extra training in which you would get a new gadget, skill, or weapon (the laptop turret was my favorite) that you could use to make the missions easier.

thoes games were the best fps console games, and probaly will be untill rare gets summoned by Microsoft, to do more than to only be used to make crappy cell shaded spinoffs of Rares once wonderful franchise (perfect dark) M-soft bought out the company RARE games, Rare made Donkey kong, which since its a nintendo trademark it is now made from new guys which only make konga games and not regular donkey games. But they also, as stated before, created the revolutionary games Goldeneye 007 and Perfect Dark)

Until next time I'm killer008r saying "Microsoft saved the world from playing more wonderful games made by Rare, Good Job Microsoft, You Should Feel Proud Of Your Self."

Man that game was so amazing back in the day. I used to love it and play everyday. When the 64 came out, I was one of the first people to get one and one of the games was Goldeneye. All of my friends and people I didn't know would come over everyday to play it. I used to love using those proximity mines and barracadeing rooms. Most the time I ended up killing myself though, but it brought me bundles of joy in the end.

Goldeneye was, and still is, a great game. Its one of my favorite games. I still have tons of fun playing multiplayer with my friends. Goldeneye and Perfect Dark were, in my opinion the two best games on the N64. I heard about the Goldeneye and Perfect Dark mods coming out for Half-Life 2 and I can't wait for them. Until then, remote mines on complex never gets old.

Expecially when you throw those remote mines on other people that can never get old. Then you have like 100 mines on them and they are running around and they don't notice and then all of a sudden BOOM! lol

Project 64 1.6 is currently the newest and best N64 emulator. Just remember to get good plug-ins... Also remember, technically ROMs are illegal unless you make them yourself from a cartridge that you already own. While Rare isn't likely to come beating down your door for using a ROM of GE64, it's always a possibility.

That said Goldeneye on PC can be a lot of fun, especially if you have a good Keyboard/Mouse configuration. In fact FPS games are usually better on the PC.
