GoldenEye James Bond 007
Wow! Goldeneye puts all other first person shooters before it to shame. This game is just so cool, fun, and playable. It's everything you expect out of your average Doom or Turok game, but with the controls tweaked to perfection on the N64 controller and much more. Not to mention the ultra-cool James Bond, Goldeneye license. There's a great number of stages each divided into 3 difficulty levels. Each difficulty level offers up consectively harder enemies and more mission objectives. There's quite a variety to the objectives and each one is an amazing challenge. Some examples include Escaping from a Prison, Rescuing Crew Members off a Boat, and Chasing some Runaways in a Tank! And what shooter game is complete without loads of weapons. Some of the tools you'll find in this game include the classic PP7, Wrist Watch Laser, a Tank, Rocket Launchers, and lots of other authentic Russian guns and rifles. There's also 2 hidden stages and a number of secret cheats to acquire. Some examples include Enemy Rockets, Invincibility, Paintball, and DK Mode (Donkey Kong Mode). There's just so much to do here. Man, what more can I say? If you got an N64 you need to get this game as soon as possible. Try it for yourself and see what all the hype is about.
