Central to the game is Bond's Rolex watch - as well as having the usual Bondian functions like magnets and lasers, it also acts as the interface through which uses his other kit.
An example; in the first bunker level, Bond is equipped with a mini-camera and a key-copying gizmo which have to be used to complete the level. Press Start and Bond holds up his arm to show the watch, which then zooms in so fast you worry that he's going to knock himself out; flick to the equipment screen and choose the camera or analyser, then unpause and use the trigger to operate the chosen gadget.
In a well thought-out touch, using the weapon select button then automatically brings up your last gun without having to go back to the watch.
This kind of clever design, making the barrier between the player and the action on screen as thin as possible, is obvious all the way through Goldeneye. It's rare no pun intended! Even the control system can be tailored to your preferences. The default setting is perfectly usable, but if you want you can reconfigure the controller to mimic the system used in Turok, or even use two controllers, one to move and the other to aim!
The only quibble I have is that the aiming crosshairs default to an aircraft-style reversed control pushing the analogue stick up moves the sights down, and vice versa but again, this can be rectified in a couple of seconds.
Not all games are as flexible with their controls! One unavoidable thing about Goldeneye which some people will have a problem with is its genre. It's a first-person shoot-'em-up, but that's about the only point of comparison.
Think how awesome Doom looked compared to Wolfenstein 3-D, its predecessor. Then think how awesome Quake looked after Doom. Now think how awesome Quake looks against Wolfenstein. That's Goldeneye Rare's game is so far ahead of everything else, in terms of looks, playability, design and sheer quality, that it makes the competition look positively sick.
It's hard to imagine how Ocean's oft-delayed Mission: Impossible can hope to match this. Why's it so good? It's mainly because two-and-a-half years, some of the best programmers around and a shitload of Silicon Graphics kit, along with the hefty coffers and perfectionist demands of Nintendo, mean that excellence is pretty much guaranteed as standard. The delights are in the details - shots ricocheting away with a movie-style 'ptang! All these things are evidence of the immense amount of time and care put into the whole package.
Oh, and then there's the multi-player option, of course. If you've ever played Doom or Quake in deathmatch mode, you'll know just how much fun hunting down and killing your friends can be. Goldeneye is just as much of a thrill as either of these, and the amazing thing is how little the gameplay is affected by having the screen cut into halves or even quarters. The level of detail is only slightly lower than the normal game, and though the frame rate is reduced only really obvious when fast turns reveal a slight jerkiness , it's still just as fast.
There are more options than you can shake a Walther PPK at - if you want to fight using rocket launchers, the laser guns from Moonraker or even the quaintly-named 'slappers' bare hands! See the 'Get Coltrane! Although the usual caveats about N64 multi-player games apply like the one about needing a Really Big Telly — I mean it! If you thought that Mario Kart's competitive nature brought out the worst in people, just wait until bullets enter the equation!
Okay, time for the other shoe to head groundwards - Goldeneye isn't perfect, and it does have faults. The absence of a map, or even a compass, can make some levels slightly confusing, and the fact that Bond's top speed like Mario, the analogue stick is used to control how fast he moves is more of a Bill Clinton jog than a bullet-dodging sprint means a certain amount of trudging on the outdoor levels.
The enemies are not even worthy of the term 'halfwit' either, lining up to be shot and often running headlong into doors that have already closed giving rise to the otherwise unseen problem of polygon clipping, arms, legs and faces pulsating through doors in a way that James Cameron would probably want for the next Terminator film!
Weight of numbers more often decides Bond's fate than any clever tactics on the bad guys' part. Losing all the weapons you've collected at the start of each new level, even when it follows on directly, rankles, but the one truly annoying thing about Goldeneye is that the weapons select only works one way, and there's a delay on it as well. You press the button and nothing seems to happen, so you press it again, only for the top gun you wanted to flash past and be replaced by Bond's well-manicured but not exactly hot lead hands.
You then either have to use the watch to change weapons letting the enemies pop away at you freely for the couple of seconds it takes to appear , or else peg it away, madly hammering the A-button until the weapon you want reappears.
But even taken all together, these faults are trivial, and don't detract from the playability of the game as a whole.
And it is playable. Boy, is it playable. We're talking entire-day-of-work-lost playable something which no N64 game has managed before , followed by take-it-home-and-play-until-4am-without-managing-to-write-a-single-damn-word-about-it playable. Mario 64? Amateur hour! Goldeneye presses a silenced Walther against the plumber's head and slowly squeezes the trigger. It's tough, as well. While most Nintendo games are on the easy side, even on the simple Agent level it should be a good couple of days of solid work before you see Goldeneye's game over sequence, and then you've still got the more complex and rewarding Secret Agent and 00 missions to complete!
Not forgetting the deathmatch games. And the secret levels. And the cheats. This very magazine stated in issue one that Super Mario 64 was "the world's best videogame", and who am I to argue with my own mag? Well, Goldeneye is even better than Mario Even Oddjob could figure out what that means!
A Nintendo 64 without Goldeneye is like James Bond without a vodka martini - buy it as soon as you can, and save the world from unworthy bit games! From the screens we have seen thus far. GoldenEye simply looks incredible. The graphics in the game are what the Nintendo 64 will become known for-non-jagged. Sure, that sounds like a mouthful, but whether it sounds like hype or not. James Bond. We do know that the Russians are involved and that gamers will find themselves snooping around a military installation as well as other areas.
The animation of the characters looks rotoscoped for realistic actions. Supposedly the actors from the movie have been digitized onto the polygons in the game to make them look like the real actors. Plus, the environment will be like the movie. For fans of the James Bond saga, the Ultra 64 will enable you to take the place of the famous risking your life while working covert for British intelligence.
GoldenEye is a first-person game where you are in search of the unknown party who is in control of GoldenEye, the satellite that is capable of rendering any computer system inoperative from orbit.
Grab your wits and begin your quest, but remember to keep an eye out for the believed-to-be-dead agent who is not working with you, but against you. If GoldenEye is anything like this year's much-anticipated movie release, Nintendo will find little objection by players who are looking for a first-person title with a twist.
Grab the keys to your BMW packed with all of the necessary spy equipment and try to save the world from almost certain doom. For game players who are spies at heart. GoldenEye gives you a chance to get your feet wet in espionage, challenging enemy agents in games of secrecy. GoldenEye is a first-person walkthrough game that allows you to search through random enemy-occupied structures and clear them out. This title doesn't appear to be neither a first-person shooter nor an adventure game.
Not only is GoldenEye 10 times better than the movie, it's also 10 times more realistic. No other first-person shooter demands this much stealth and strategy. Instead of storming enemies like a space marine, you must sneak up on them or pick 'em off through your sniper rifle's telescopic lens nothing's more satisfying than capping a guard from yards away before he can trip the alarms-and this blood-soaked fun is from squeaky-clean Nintendo?
Developer Rare has packed everything that's cool about into the game. You get the gadgets including his wrist laser and spy camera and the guns everything from Bond's trusty PP7 to the Moonraker laser rifle.
But this silicon Bond is more of a bad-ass than the movie version ever was. The 20 missions are crammed with objectives, and the environments are highly vaned, from jungle to caves to a moving train. Even better are the insanely fun Multiplayer Modes, which allow for team play, the ability to play as villains from the films and too many other options to list here.
Despite a little choppiness, it's more fun than four-player Mario Kart 64! This is absolutely the best first-person game ever. I've always been a big fan of James Bond, so when I heard about this one I was excited.
I'm happy to say that GoldenEye is the best game based on a movie ever. In fact, everything about the game is awesome, minus one thing: the sluggish frame rate at certain points in the game. Other than that, it's a keeper for sure. After all this genre is my forte. For once, a game offers more than just: move. GoldenEye's enemies behave realistically, the missions give the game depth and it has awesome multiplayer options. I'd buy it solely for team dethatching.
I'm hooked. I'm sold. I'm In love. Sniping, peeking around comers and secret levels, weapons and abilities all make GoldenEye a smash hit. I was very impressed with the Four-player Mode, even if the precise aiming took some getting used to right Hsu? If you only buy one N64 game, make it this! Unmatched multiplayer action and superb one-player game - you are James Bond. Brilliant levels, detailed scenery, breathtaking weaponry and a perfectly judged difficulty curve.
It doesn't get much better than this. The tag might be essential considering the '95 Bond movie has long gone from the local cineplex, but Rare is enjoying unrivalled support from the movie makers. Film set blueprints were provided to help construct levels, while the actors' features appear as texture maps on polygon characters.
Not surprisingly the graphics are stunning, and as with Donkey Kong Country , Nintendo is obviously grooming Rare for N64 success in the same way Namco work with Sony. The most impressive aspect of Goldeneye is the way the characters move within their environments and actually react to your presence.
Fire off some shots at a group of guards for example, and they scatter in all directions in a blind panic before collecting their marbles and shooting back. The game is claimed to closely follow the movie's plotline, with a variety of different game types, but so far all that's been shown is the opening assault on a Soviet bioweapons plant. Nothing on Robbie Coltrane or that shocking Russian accent though.
GoldenEye takes the form of a first person perspective Doom-type game, with some unbelievably gorgeous graphics. One nice touch is how the analogue joypad allows players to vary their pace, with a careful tip-toe movement making less noise and less likely to attract patrolling guards! You can duck and climb ladders and are also only allowed to carry a realistic amount of ammunition and have only two weapons to choose from, as it would be unrealistic to lug eight AKS around for use later on.
It has also been revealed that you can pilot a tank, boat and a helicopter, and there's even some loose talk about famous old Bond villains popping up in bonus sections. Prospects: "Bond, what you do you think you're doing? Best game on the N64 and quite possibly one of the best videogames games of all time.
Rare's stunning lames Bond game is a winner whether you play in the one-player adventure game or the friendship-wrecking multi-player deathmatch. If you own an N64, then you have to have this game or else face social ostracisation and the taunts of small children in the street. To get back into the air conditioning vent in the Facility, stand on the toilet underneath.
Now hold Left-C until your player ducks, then hold R and left on the control stick. When your player returns to the vent, release C and R and press forward on the control stick.
This is a useful technique for the multiplayer game, especially for chasing people who've regenerated in the vent section. If you're using proximity mines, make sure you plant some while you're up there to kill anyone who regenerates in there later on. Use the Invincibility cheat on the Silo level, and place Plastique on a wall. Shoot at it and you'll become a living fireball. Kill your enemies with the flames that follow you around.
If you don't want anybody to know that you have the token in Flag Tag. Question: I'm playing GoldenEye and I've got stuck on the first level!
How do you get to the dam to bungee jump off? Answer: Assuming that you've cleared the first two 'areas' with the two sentry towers, you've probably come to the green gate where the lorry stops. This is actually where most people get stuck. Look to the right of the gate and you'll see a red switch on the wall. Walk up so that you're stood right in front of it and press B.
The gate will now open and you can progress. Nearly all gates are opened like this, however some will also require you to possess keys or security cards which you should have found elsewhere in the level. Question: How do you take the picture of the video screen and copy the GoldenEye key on the first bunker level in Severnaya? Answer: This will be the first time on the Agent difficulty setting that you actually have to use items from your inventory.
To copy the GoldenEye key, first make sure that you've picked it up Doh! Once the key is in your possession, pause the game and push right on the Analogue to enter your inventory. Move down the list until you highlight the 'Key Analyser'.
Push A to select the item and then unpause the game. To use the Analyser, simply press the Z trigger as if you were firing a weapon. When the 'Objective Complete' message comes up, press Z again to replace the key. The same process applies to taking a picture of the video screen. This time, select the camera from your item list, stand in front of the screen and press Z to take the picture. Question: On the Silo level, I've taken a picture of the satellite, but when I finish the level, it says I've failed that objective!
What's going on? Answer: Another common error that some people make is to mistake the rocket at the start of the level for the satellite. The satellite is actually in the last of the numbered rooms - room 4-A1.
The satellite looks like a silver cylinder with blue solar panels on either side of it. Repeat the process you went through to take a photo of the video screen on the first bunker level. Question: How do you confront and unmask Janu on the Statue Park level on difficulty. Answer: Once you've met Valentin in the cargo container, exit and head over to the opposite wall. Turn left, so you're heading in the direction you were originally going away from the entrance , and follow the fence until you come to a gap that you can go through.
Follow this path to the back of the area, and you'll find a large statue with scaffolding around it. Walk up to the statue and turn around. Several men in black suits will walk out of the shadows and up the hill towards you. It is imperative at this point that you do not attempt to shoot them. Wait until Janus starts talking to you. Put your gun away when prompted to do so, and stand still until he has revealed his identity.
Once the 'Objective Complete' message has been shown, you can blast away like crazy, if you really want. However, it is probably quicker just to run out of the area and head back towards the entrance to the park where Natalya will be held captive. Rescue her, get the black box and leave the level by walking through the gates. Note that you must not shoot at anyone during this very last bit of the level in fact, you must put your gun away.
If you don't, you'll be so full of lead you'll be able to sharpen your head and use yourself as a pencil. Everyone knows that Bond, James Bond, British secret agent , is the most famous international spy of all time with Austin Powers in a groovy second place, baby!
Here's the story if you haven't seen it: a nasty, radical group of mostly Russians -- the Janus Syndicate -- has stolen control of a sophisticated electromagnetic pulse-shootin' weapon satellite: the GoldenEye. The Janus Syndicate plans to use GoldenEye against the city of London to scramble all the computers and electrical equipment in an effort to cover their tracks after stealing tons of money through illegal electronic transfer. They must be stopped, James!
In the one-player version of this game, you take on the role of Through a series of missions given to you in messages from Q.
Moneypenny, you must defeat the Janus Syndicate by performing specific mission tasks, gathering objects and information, and wasting all the bad guys you see since you ARE licensed to kill If you've ever played Doom , Myst , Duke Nukem , etc.
Sounds simple enough, so what makes GoldenEye better? The first-person 3D shooter interface has been done to death -- so much so, that when I got GoldenEye I wondered how it could possibly be interesting enough to hold my attention any longer than Jim Carrey can act serious. All I can say is, after only 20 minutes of playing the ultimate super-spy, my cheeks were hurting from my new permanent grin.
Without a doubt, this is one of the most well-thought-out videogames I have ever played. It's similar to all those other 3D shooters out there, but with an intelligent twist: you don't just run around pummeling everything you see. InGoldenEye you have the freedom to make whatever choices and mistakes you like, but you also have the responsibility to respect your surroundings and carry out your mission with not only speed and accuracy, but also stealth and smart thinking.
