Poll: The 'New' Goldeneye game? Your Opinions?

[Sven_Untgaarde]

I understand that this is extremely late in terms of release date to the game, however, I'd like to get other peoples opinions on how they like the new Goldeneye game. Why i want to is because I myself have felt mixed feelings.

Now, i don't own a Wii (anymore). I mooched off my friend who downloads his games, and i bugged him constantly for the last 9 months to download. Finally, he downloads it, and I found it... interesting.

To sum up my opinion of what it is in two games, i'd have to say Call of Duty + Recent EA James Bond games (Nightfire, Agent Under Fire, etc). Although i find the latter category lack-luster, i still found the game pretty good. It still, however, didn't meet my expectations. Maybe i was expecting a gem-encrusted bar of gold, and my expectations were too high. Or maybe, I was actually disappointed because of the cut-and-paste styled EA Bond game-style.

Obviously, my favourite game to this day is STILL Goldeneye 64. Fallout 3 almost beat it, and Knights of the Old Republic came close (same with Star Wars Battlefront 2), but none were as fulfilling. However, that's just it: maybe I'm too nostalgia-filled to make a logical opinion. That is why I am asking you.

So? Your opinions?

They took out Brosnan and thats all I need to be ticked off. It's a great game and all, and I get the idea of paying homage to a legend among games but I'm still irked at that and the many other changes to update the game.

It's fun for a quick split screen game with my dad or sister, otherwise, I don't play it.

Yeah, it's a fun little game. It's not a great game by any means, but it's fun while it lasts and it does do something right: giving the player a choice between stealth and action. While the stealth options aren't quite as obvious as the run-&-gun options, they are still there and it's nice to see that being acknowledged.

Singleplayer: Lacks co-op, and at times it feels a lot like Modern Warfare. However, it's handled well, balances stealth and gunplay a bit, nice pacing, varied environments.

EDIT: Forgot, stealth is annoying too because if you balls up and an enemy spots you, you HAVE to kill him or face the gunplay. You can't go into hiding again and suppose the guard thought it was a trick of his eye, THEY'RE ALWAYS RIGHT.

Multiplayer: This is not that great. For one, Wifi battles are 4 vs 4. You read that right, 4 vs 4! It also does what's standard today of these FPSs: you start with crap weapons and level up (by playing multiplayer) to get better ones (but leveling up is so tedious and slow); so, it can be unbalanced at times when you're stuck with a pump-action shotgun and your enemy has a fully automatic shotgun. Also, the game modes and maps are limited, and never will feature new ones.

Split-screen multiplayer is saddening because, unlike Wifi multiplayer, you cannot customize your loadout, you HAVE to use some premade loadouts. Had tons of fun, but it needs a lot more improvement.

OVERALL: An okay singleplayer, disappointing multiplayer. Fun splitscreen, but could be improved. Not worth full price, but still worth getting.
