Everybody's favorite secret agent is about to finally make his long-overdue appearance on the Nintendo 64, courtesy of Nintendo and Rare. After almost two years of development GoldenEye 007 was recently shown to us at the EGM offices in near-complete form.
GoldenEye 007 is a first-person shooting game (similar to Turok or Doom) that follows the movie of the same name's basic plot and takes place in similar locations throughout the world. Each of the game's 18 stages begins with a detailed mission briefing that includes a list of objectives that must be carried out in order to complete the stage. The amount of objectives per stage will depend on which of the three difficulty levels you choose before play (obviously, the harder the difficulty, the more objectives). The cool thing about GoldenEye though, is that even if you choose an easier level and only have to do say, one or two things on a particular stage, you can still complete the other, more difficult tasks if you wish welcome feature indeed.
When you install the game you get 4.rar i extracted each to a folder and then read all the Readme notepads and none of those could tell me WHERE THE FUCK IS THE GOLDEN EYE ROM since you cannot do a simple setup to install the game ill rate it as a non existent one and since you considere putting random emulators on my computer funny ill rate it the lowest possible. Delete this site. 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.
And just like any super agent, Bond is armed to the teeth. Not only does he have the usual assortment of nifty gadgets from Q (pressing Start will pull up Bond's wristwatch, complete with a subscreen full of interesting items that can be used on the various stages), he can collect from over 15 different weapons including Sniper Rifles, Machine Guns, Throwing Knives, Hand Grenades and more. And since the game works with the Rumble Pak, you'll feel every shot and explosion in the game as if you were right there in the middle of the action (sorry if that sounds like a press release, but it's true).
Graphically, GoldenEye looks great, with the best use of textures yet on the N64, and a seemingly infinite horizon that you can look into (with hardly any fog, yawl). The music isn't too shabby either, with various remixes of the traditional Bond theme and music taken straight from the movie.
Also worth mentioning is the fantastic Four-player Mode, which came as a complete surprise-it's one of the best Four-player Modes of not the best] on the N64 yet. For more on that, check out the Gamer's Edge sidebar located on this page.
GoldenEye 007 is due out in August, and we'll be back next month with the lowdown when the Review Crew gets their hands on the final version.
