Goldeneye 007: one of the greatest games on N64.

Ok so everyone knows this game needs its own thread, so here we have it.

Discuss anything G007 (yes I made up that abbrev lol) you like; your fav levels, your fav villian, fav characters, best/worst levels, memories of the game, playing the 2 player with your friends and family, anything you like :)

Here is a bit about the game (from Wiki site) and its history for those of you whove never had the pleasure to play it:

GoldenEye 007 is a 1997 first-person shootervideo game developed by Rare for the Nintendo 64video game console, and based on the 1995 James Bond film GoldenEye.

This is the game that got me into FPS. It was some of the best times I've ever had playing a game. It redefined replay value IMO.

One of the few games I played over a year after buying it.

I love G007, it may well be the best FPS on the N64. Back then I played it so much that I unlocked the 007 difficulty and most of the cheats, which were all fun as hell to use.

My favourite level is the surface 1 level (snow, daytime) with all weapons and paintball mode cheats on: total playground (painting the side of the antenna station with the sniper rifle or laying hundreds of remote mines, then climb on the antenna and enjoy the explosion - and framerate freefall).

i got hooked to goldeneye and it is still played today, i have 2 copies of it as well as having to replace it several times before so ya i never played a good fps as good as these 5 games listed below

*goldeneye 007*

*perfect dark*

*timesplitters 2*

*timesplitters future perfect*

and duke nukem 64/totel meltdown (the ps1 and n64 version of duke nukem 3d)

I would have to agree it is one of the greatest games on the N64.

Completed it on 00 Agent getting all the cheats and levels. On the single player missions I always like playing the Facility level near the begining as well as the Train and Statue park levels (love the creepy music for this level).

The multi player was always fun, especially if you had the extra Aztec, Moonraker levels to play on. It was nice to see some of these levels again to play in Perfect Dark.

Goldeneye, now there was a game with a real magnum. It could shoot through walls but wasn't overly powerful. Certain games today say magnum and 44". all the time but they fall short when compared to Goldeneye's and the resident evil ones. I liked DK mode and playing through the games with different cheats. I'm not knocking the game but I loved the square fists and especially the guards. I remember messing with their AI difficulty in the options and in Aztec they just stopped, rolled to the left, rolled to the right, and just goofed around. This game was definitely made by the donkey kong people. If you turned the speed up in cradle bond would jump off the installation early before the heli got there, if you turned the speed down it would leave without him and he would plummet to certain doom only to make out really fast in the end. That always cracked me up. The weapons were surprisingly well tuned for their time. The chops were hilarious. It was like dislocating your arm and using the other one to swing it. Mission Variety and the tasks that increased or changed as the difficulty did made you seem more spy like. If you failed your mission you could simply take your frustration out on friendlies or the hapless civilians. Multiplayer was smooth and frantic at the same time it was perfect wether searching for the last remaining enemy(no screen peeking) or setting up traps the levels carried their moods over from the campaign. Character selection was pretty big as well at the time.

i loved playing in Bunker 2, with Infinte Health (cant remember cheat name) and letting the Bunker blowing itself up, and just running around while everything is exploding inside

I remember playing the game for hours with friends. We usually played Lisense to Kill, and everytime we killed someone we said,"GOTCHA". Good times. I do still play it from time to time, and consider it to be better then Perfect Dark.

I will always hold this game very close to my heart. This game was what got me into first person shooters. Till this day it is still my favorite FPS and I hope they release it on XBLA like they did with Perfect Dark. I never played Perfect Dark because I actually was oblivious to it's exsistence when it was released. I didn't have internet and I barely ever watched TV when I was younger (I was very active outdoors and was into sports) so I barely ever caught ads on new games or knew when new releases were out. I was 11 when Goldeneye came out. I just recently bought Perfect Dark for XBLA and I still haven't played it yet and it will be my first time playing it when I do.
