Reviews - GoldenEye 007: Reloaded (2010) Discussion

Wow, I have a totally different take. I'm glad they didn't fall into the trap of making it "exactly" like GoldenEye. The same game again? How boring would that be. My N64 still works, I can play GoldenEye any time I want already. If this were the same it would have totally been a waste of money. With a completely new story and all new levels it provides a very good single player campaign, which is totally unlike most fps games (the exception being CoD.) As for multiplayer, the absence of having to listen to Squeaker teens (ie. those who realize they sound like kids, so up the profanity quotient to compensate) and douchbags who routinely screw up multiplayer experiences for other gamers is a huge plus for GoldenEye. It saves me the trouble of having to mute everyone all the time. All it lacks is AI bots for local or invite-only multiplayer. So it still is not Perfect Dark, but it is right on par with GoldenEye.

I agree with cahmbersjad, this is a great game. Sure they take some liberties with the story which I can understand bothering some people, but if they had just made the exact same game with updated graphics, it would not be worth a $50 purchase. Even the Facility, my favorite level from the N64 game and one of my favorites from any game I've ever played, is changed up completely but it was still done very well so I can't complain too much. Also, yes, in multiplayer it does take too long to level up and there is some brief lag sometimes so that would knock my score for the game down a little bit. I'd say 8.5/10. It's a great game but not quite at the level of the top FPS of this generation like Modern Warfare, Halo: Reach and Killzone 2.

The level design is a lot better this time around, and fighting in the tank this time around is some of the most fun I've had with a game this gen.

The game just needed a fresh coat of paint, enhanced graphics, destructible environments, better animation (ie. what the bad guys do after you shoot them), some bonus levels, and more multiplayer options. If this was the case, along with online mulitplayer, the game would have been well worth the $50, and the game would have been a success, rather than a flop.

Um... All of this is in there. The graphics are enchanced, just because it's on the Wii doesn't mean the graphics aren't better than the original. Granted there's only once piece of destructible environment, but there's some bonus levels (For example, you go into a nightclub, and James' reaction to the vodka is pretty funny) there is better animation (though sometimes it seems like the victims are over acting) and there are more multiplayer options, and the improved mechanics add to the experience. Being able to actually snipe in mutliplayer is amazing, I could never do it in the original game.

And I still say, I have an N64. I can play Goldeneye 64 any time I want. I would not have bought the new Goldeneye if it were the same game. There would have been no need.

Just helping out the ESOL or pre-teen. That's "You're a moron."

Yeah, as a general rule when you throw an insult around it's best not to do something that can cause the insult to be turned around on you. Besides that part of the post I also think it's laughable that somebody who is posting on a message board thinks they know more about game design than the team who made this game which was received well by critics and vast majority of people who have played it.

Half of the fun of playing the original is that it is a bit on the crappy end. Your argument is ridiculous. By your logic, nobody plays the original Super Mario Bros. game because we have SMB Wii. Same goes for Zelda, Metroid, and a plethora of other games. They are two different games and should be assessed accordingly. The original is quirky and pretty crappy. You can run through doors, the animations are entertaining, and the game is pure clean fun. The new games follows the same story, has some of the same level concepts, but is still a different game. It's been adapted to the newer standards of FPS games and should be assessed as such.

I personally enjoy the original more, but that's more because of the nostalgia instead of the actual game quality. Still, there's no law against enjoying the old AND the new.

Never played the original GoldenEye, but I love the Wii version and can't recommend it enough. have already gone through the single-player campaign twice and am working my way through a third, while dipping my toes online from time to time.

This game is an incredibly polished and well-balanced title that's easily worth the time and money. It's one of the few times a third-party Wii developer actually makes an effort on the system, and the quality shows.

Is this game better than Bloodstone?

Haven't played Bloodstone, but the majority of reviews out there say that it's inferior to Wii GoldenEye.

I have played both. Bloodstone IMO can't really be compared as is a 3rd person game and thsi is 1st person. Both are good games but if I had to choose one I woudl choose Goldeneye.

I think it updates the story really well for todays time and really feels like another Craig 007 entry.
