ok, im going to vote for perfect dark.. Has more guns, More settings, more everything.. Goldeneye was fun but only with 4 players and playing 1 hit kill or golden gun. But with Perfect dark, it's a different story. You could play with Speedsim, turtlesim, etc. The best n64 game for me :)

Well for me is Goldeneye, this game is just a classic and one of the best shooters for the consoles ever, it was a ton of fun to play with 3 other friends :) i have so many good memories of playing this also i played the campaign on every difficulty possible ^^.

Well I never beat the single player campaign of Perfect Dark because I couldn't get past the robot in the Chicago level but I think I preferred Goldeneye 007 overall, I just loved that game.

I still to this day cannot understand how anybody can pick Goldeneye over Perfect Dark. They use the same engine but Perfect Dark has a much more comprehensive multiplayer. I don't think there's much difference really in the single player mode between the games so Perfect Dark has to take the cake. Don't get me wrong, I love Goldeneye but Perfect Dark is Goldeneye plus a few years of advancement in the gaming industry for Rare which really shows. Although, they did go backwards with PD Zero.

As stupid as that may sound but I had much more fun in Banjo Tooie's first-person shooting multiplayer mini-games, like the mine, the sewers and the temple. Ice eggs, clockwork mini-bird explosives, mines, etc. and it even had special game-modes like some sort of "Insta-Gib".

For singleplayer shooters I'd say The World is not Enough was pretty good but Turok 2 was a bit better. Neither was much fun in multiplayer mode though.

There is another game, name's "Forsaken". I only had the PC version so if the N64 version of it was a really bad port or something that forget what I said, but on the PC it had a really cool multiplayer-mode. If the N64 version was appropriately well ported I'd mention that as one of the top multiplayer first-person shooters too.

Pefect Dark. Im not a fan of james bond movies i did enjoy 007 though.

Perfect Dark just proved that consoles had the power just as much as a pc ever did. and way more content :) only if it had online play at the time :(

man, you cant give up THAT easily, put a little more effort into your games. anyway my vote is perfect dark, the devoloper (rare) had obviously gone to amazing lengths to make this game incredible due to the sales of goldeneye that had come before it, i mean come on it shook the rest of the gaming industry to it foundations!!. (damn EA, wrecked it all with the sequel, mumble...)

Perfect Dark. It's Goldeneye 007 2.0. Perfect Dark had voice acting, cinematics, more weapons, extensive AI, more multiplayer modes than any FPS released today, customizable characters, stats, achievements, challenges, etc. People who pick Goldeneye over Perfect Dark must have never fully played Perfect Dark or something. Perfect Dark is pretty much the perfect console FPS. Halo 1-3 as far as I know know doesn't even have bots or AI. Is that some fail - or what?

Operation winback i think is overlooked, its basically Metal Gear Solid set in stages. But yeah perfect dark is great just because of the bots in multi.

Turok is more an adventure game than a shooting game. But yeah Turok 2: Seeds of Evolution was pretty good.

I spent LOTTT of hours playing Perfect Dark by myself and I didn't get bored. Goldeneye 007 was a great game when you were with lot of friends. The single player was good but Perfect Dark's single player was better :)

I like 007 GoldenEye, because 007 is one of my favorite games, and it has cool weapons.

Oh gee, it's been so long since I played either of those games.

But I think I had more fun with Golden Eye.

Golden Eye, because it practically put the console FPS on the map (PCs were FPS machines back then)

I honestly had more fun with goldeneye but it doesn't take a genius to see that perfect dark was most certainly the better game. I think the problem was that goldeneye could be a pick up and play game, where as perfect dark appealed more towards the skilled players.

they are both really awesome. i own both and have beate goldeneye a few times and made it to the end of the last level of perfect dark. but because of it's HUGE amount of combat simulator variety on it, i will have to go with perfect dark. goldeneye is still real great though. perfect dark just has more to offer.

Perfect Dark took everything that Goldeneye did well and added better graphics, more weapons, and improved campaign & MP, thats why it gets my vote, i feel bad for the people who voted Goldeneye based on the fact they never played PD, you guys missed out on a lot

Perfect Dark because it improved on Goldeneye in nearly every way. The only downside was the quite prevalent slowdown.

Goldeneye because it's one of the best split screen experiences of all time and I prefer the 007 setting. Another reason is that as life has gone on I've lost touch with the guys that I used to play with so thinking back to it appeals to my sentiments and nostalgia.

That's the same with me for friends and thinking back. Going from my previous systems I know who I hanged around with at that time and knowing that also tells me what games I played with them and how fun it was. This is true with my Super Nintendo days, N64, PSone and PS2 days.

Yes it was an awesome game. But what about Doom 64. But out of the list I got to pick Goldeneye 007.

Pefect Dark felt more like Goldeneye v2.0 minus the 007 licence. Which means the game is much better than Goldeneye imo, BUT it doesn't feel as origional.

Out of the two choices, I'd have to go with Perfect Dark. While Goldeneye will always be one of the games for the N64, Perfect Dark was just much more polished and featured a fantastic science fictino story. Not to mention that the multiplayer was done fantastically with all the different bot types and such.

I can't say I found either of those games much fun. And the multiplayer on both games was marred by a terrible framerate. I know it's the dumber option, but I preferred Turok 2. The levels were incredible fun and the violence was wonderful.

I chose Perfect Dark because its "Combat Simulator" mode still provides hours of fun for me and whoever else is playing with me.
