the world is not enough January 9, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The only good EA Bond game that I've played. It's nowhere near any of the classics, but it could at least hold its own against other games of the non-classic variety.
The singleplayer mode is good. Some levels are bothersome, but overall, it's fun. Good levels, nice guns, decent a.i. The movie's plot is told very well, from getting rid of Davidov to swimming through a sunken submarine to finish the baddies and save the world.
The multiplayer is great. It's not quite as option-packed as Perfect Dark, but it's good. My major complaint is the whole GOOD and EVIL thing. Each character is either GOOD or EVIL, and GOOD characters can't fight each other. It's annoying, but there are at least plenty of characters to choose from(and even more to unlock) that it hasn't bothered me more than a handful of times.
TWINE has some of my favorite multiplayer levels ever. A hedgemaze, two small bases connected by a skyrail(this level is done better than it's Nightfire counterpart), and one of the coolest, a blackbird jet and a cargo plane connected by a fueling line flying in the air. It's fun to go out on the wings and try not to get blown down by the wind, or to go on top of the cargo plane to snipe people off of the blackbird below.
The bots are generally pathetic, though. If you're accostumed to instinctively circle-strafing, the bots don't present much of a threat. I played an entire game without using weapons. I just got really close to the bot and circle-strafed while punching them, and they didn't even get a hit in.
But that's only like half of the bots. The other half are okay.
I was also upset to find that there's no way to setup the controller so that you can use the up and down c-buttons to look like in Goldeneye. Instead, they are for jump and for crouch. No way to move jump and crouch to up and down d-pad. I need my freelook more than I need jump and crouch in multiplayer. O well.
Overall, this game is actually really fun, but the few flaws really stand out and keep it from being classic.

this game is great except that some of the levels are very confusing.the multiplayer gives it 4 stars because you can play by yourself with 3 bots or 2 players with 2 bots or just 2 players there are many many characters to choose from.
Addictive game; frustrating at times. August 5, 2003

I loved this game because once you start playing it you can't stop playing it, but most of the time it can be somewhat frustrating, especially the last level. If you loved Goldeneye, then you'll definitley love this game.
 Bond is Back August 5, 2003
In the sequel to GoldenEye for N64, 007 proves that nobody does it better. Again. As you turn on the console, you will note the first of its flaws. You must sit through about 10 seconds of credits to EA games and MGM interactive. The second thing is, unlike its predessesor, it doesn't have a gun barrel scene (not even in the first level cutscene) which could have turned out beautifully and instead goes right to the title screen. The options include: Start Game (14 total levels), Load/Save Game (yes, you will require a memory pak to save your progress, another flaw), Options, and Multiplayer (10 open levels, 4 locked ones).
Single Player:
General-You will the selection of three difficulty levels: Agent, Secret Agent, and 00 Agent. 00 and Secret Agent will not have as many bod armor vests and the enemies' bullets will hurt more. The cutscenes have spoken dialogue, a welcome improvement as well as appropriate body movements and gestures.
Gameplay-You will begin almost every mission with your Wolfram P2K, by pressing B+Z, you can silence it as well as change other weapons to secondary fire mode. Your hands will look realistic and not flat, like in the PSX version (though this version's backgrounds are not so detailed). You can watch Bond do the reloading instead of hiding the gun, reloading sounds, and it comes back into view. The guns are accurately articulated and the firing of the weapon will look convincing (even more so with the optional expansion pak). You can jump, crouch, strafe, even swim in particular levels in addition to running and shooting. No vehicles will be driven, though there is a first person skiing level which is designed much better than the one in the PSX TND game. Finally, Q-Branch has equipped you with top of the line gadgets one of them including the Tazer/Dart/Laser/Grapple watch, the pen grenade, covert modem, data scramblers, finger scanner, and more. Over 15 different weapons included.
Multiplayer:
In this game, you can play multiplayer alone with the new-to-Bond AI Bots. They are pretty stupid but even so can present a good challenge. There are different sets of weapons and game modes.
In conclusion, a worthy sequel to GoldenEye.

Missions are intriguing and absorbing. Needs better graphics of people however, but has definatly earned it's 5* ranking. 2 player mode is dissapointing, and more types of weapons are needed. Conversations and messsages are excellent. Follows plot most accuratly and has awesome movie clips.
