I've bought this on release date and I have to say that I'm impressed, although I was quite sceptic about it before I put my hands on it. I think it catches enough of the classic GoldenEye's atmosphere to remind me of the good old days while it still adds many modern features. The single player mode is fun and entertaining, but I have to admit that I'm not that far because I became addicted to the online multi player right away
And obviously I'm not the only person on this planet who thinks so, IGN gave it 9.0/10.0 and it scored 81/100 on Metacritic.
To me it proves once again that the Wii's Remote + Nunchuck control scheme is the superior method of playing First-Person games (what's more intuitive than aiming directly at the screen?).
Especially since you can directly compare this control method with the dual-stick style in this game.

Has someone else here played it yet? What's your opinion on the game? Or want to share some classic GoldenEye memories?

By the way, if someone plays it online and want to add me to their friends list, here is my code:

I honestly find it better with mouse and keyboard, i find i can "dive into the game" much more easily, but thats also because of sitting closer to the screen i believe.

I havent played it yet but i think i will^^

Yes sure, the distance to the screen is a factor here. And most people (including myself) have first played First-Person games on PC so it still feels natural. But after gathering experience with Wii shooters I have to admit that's I my preferred control style at the moment.

I think wii is more for the , hallmark type family. You know, stay at home mom, dad comes home at 3, you have 2 brothers and 2 sisters.

You always have someone to have fun on wii with, because wii isnt really fun by yourself. Its more the, humor factor that keeps you playing.

Me? i like a good in depth experience, with experience and in-game money involved. You have to earn everything you get.

I guess its mainly because ive passed to the stage where if i play someone in a game i play competitive, its natural.

Right now im playing a free game called A.v.A(alliance of valiant arms) and im eating it up. You literally have to burst every set of shots or you will miss. Most new people put it down after reaching Sergeant because of the learning curve.

Ive played pretty much all major fps and all free fps.

CoD 4 9/10
A.v.A 8/10
MW2 8/10
Cod:Bo 6/10 (on pc at least, so many lag problems for so many people, and its not system specs)
Combat Arms 5/10
Warrock 3/10 (full of hackers)
Crossfire 3/10 (hackers)


Sorry, took this thread off topic :3


[edit]

Also about free fps's

Stay away from the ones that focus on spending real money to get better weapons, like,
Warrock
Soldier Front
Gunz???(havent played in forever)

AvA does let you pay for some things, but nothing game breaking. Mainly just skinned versions of weapons with no stat change.
And some hats.

Its not like warrock where, you spend money, you get a gun that has 100 rounds and kills in 2 shots. And if you run out of ammo, oh lucky you, you have another primary thanks to premium

I preordered this game I was so excited for it. This game is worth every penny. The single player mode is amazingly fun.

I have to say though, it's a pretty big disappointment that they don't have the classic maps in multiplayer. :/ But that's the only negative. The game is a blast. I started by playing this game with the Classic Controller Pro. I finally tried using the WiiMote + Nunchuck and I will never go back. It's very well done and the controls are so intuitive.

I love playing this game on single player and being as "spy-like" as possible. Crouching behind things, sneaking up behind the baddies and breaking their necks, peaking around corners and nailing people in the head with the silenced-pp7. Good times... good times...

Not true, it always depends on the software (the games) and not the hardware!

Although you don't pay for anything in GoldenEye, it has a similar leveling approach like Modern Warfare, with experience points and such.

Quote: "youre rating a game, and giving it a thumb down because of HACKERS? then it is the people you are rating, not the game itself"


I agree with you, but creating a game that is to easy to hack is a design flaw.

Quote: "it's a pretty big disappointment that they don't have the classic maps in multiplayer"


Yeah sure, classic Temple and Facility would have been awesome. But I have to say that I still like most of the new maps and they are mostly well designed.

Exactly what I feel too. It's really a lot of fun, and the game has a really good pacing. The whole atmosphere changes once you decide to go all Rambo
Do you play online too?

I had to walk for about 2 miles in the blasted rain to get the golden controller version because there's nothing but Pony Princess Fitness games in my local shops.
Im not totally comfortable with the wiimote/nunchuk method at the moment, but then again I had to learn to play N64 Goldeneye and N64 Turok all those years ago, so I can learn this now.

If you are comfortable with FPS games on PC I recommend you to tighten the controls (dead zone etc.) a lot to get more responsive aiming. That helped me a lot.

Like going from a N64 to a PS2, I'm so sad they released it just for the Wii. I really wish Nintendo (the selfish company they are) didn't stop Microsoft. I wish they would have made it for all consoles.

I can't even comprehend why you think MW2 is better than BO, even with all of BO's glitchiness. MW2 was a piece of garbage on so many ridiculous levels, it makes me want to just throw it away every time I even attempt to play it.

Black Ops is balanced at least. MW2 is glitched and about as balanced as an elephant on stilts.

@Master Man Of Justice, yeah... I guess you just forgot to list counter strike and TF2 on your list....
seeing as:
Quote: "Ive played pretty much all major fps and all free fps."

and you are only going off multiplayer, or otherwise your list is 50 games short, just for current titles.

The animation and acting in the new 007 look amazing. Textures in general seem to have taken the hit, but in general looks amazing. I'm not much of an fps gamer, but I am going to nudge a freind of mine strongly to get this.

So if you then consider MW2 to be not that much different than the first MW, then there is one game with 3 different outlooks! One might even think they are just mods And they spent several millions on development...

Yes, that's my impression too. And I'm not talking about the "technical" way of beautilful (increased numbers of polygons, resolutions, etc.) but in a more artistic way. Like very nice animations, cut scenes, atmosphere, even the sound design is great.

Sorry about the off-topic stuff about those other games. I didn't meant you DJ Almix when I wrote

I was talking more in general and since it seems that we both don't really like that franchise it's all good now

Cool, so if you like it, I wouldn't mind having a match or two

I haven't played this yet but I'm dying too.

The only thing I don't like is that Daniel Craig is Bond in it. I know he's the new Bond (and IMO one of the best if not the best) but Pierce Brosnan was Bond in Goldeneye. It just bugs me lol.

Toasty, im guessing you dont understand what im saying.

What im saying is, AT LEAST MW2 works on pc.

Yes we all know that all the latest cod games are clones of cod 4.
Yes, i didnt mention tf2, yes ive played it, yes its fun.

No i didnt mention singleplayer games because the simple fact of minimal replay value, unless its sandbox.

It seems that a person cant have an opinion on this forum without being wrong.



And yes it is a valid reason to judge a game by abundance of hackers. They need to get a good anti-cheat that will update regularly. Otherwise the game is worthless to play.
Im not saying the game was never good. Im saying even if it was, doesnt mean it gets to keep the awesome game title forever.

I never liked using the Wiimote for FPS games, maybe I just need to calibrate it better and get one of those handgun attachments. The best FPS controller I've used is a FragFX on the PS3, a nunchuck and mouse controller. It makes a notable difference, and although the mouse is not quite as good as a PC gaming mouse, I do find myself aiming much quicker.

The thing I remember about the N64 Golden Eye, is how much fun it was, even compared to modern shooters. If it's got that same feel to it, then I'll buy it. They should have made a golden gun accessory for the Wiimote, they could have even made it come to pieces like the real golden gun - IMO those gold controller look terrible, like some cheesy It-girls handbag, or a cheap christmas toy.

OFF TOPIC RANT AHEAD!

Quote: "Both are awful. They are literally just the same two games, with different outer packages."


You have GOT to be kidding.

MW2 was just a broken trainwreck of a game. There were no dedicated servers, the guns were all uber-powerful making the gameplay revolve around who has the best connection, there were loads of BS features such as ridiculous knife-lunging, unlimited noob-tubes, ARs that could out-snipe sniper rifles, and rampant quickscoping and camping. Not to mention the nuke-boosting, noobs running Marathon, Lightweight, and Ninja with an UMP45, and the ridiculously overpowered killstreak rewards.

Black Ops, on the other hand, is a triumph when you consider just how much the fanbase criticised and how much Treyarch listened to that criticism. They balanced Last Stand, removed people who abuse the knifing system, made nearly every single weapon equally useful against another and made all the perks relatively balanced. They made killstreak reward kills not count towards the next killstreak reward tier which makes a lot of people happy and makes it actually difficult to get to the higher killstreaks. And I haven't even mentioned the campaign that actually has a story, the amazing zombies mode (where you can kill zombies as JFK shouting out "ICH BIN EIN BERLINER!" which just never gets old) and the wager matches which are immense fun.

I have generally found that the kind of people who say "They're the same game!" are either fanboys of a competing FPS (inb4Halo) or Wii fanboys. Not to say that I am dismissing you as either of them but if you think they're the same game you need to get your facts sorted out.

I'd say ever since COD4, the modern COD games are too damn similar. I'm not saying that they aren't improving - but you just listed a bunch of multiplayer tweaks that could have been dealt with in an update. The zombie mode for instance can really do with some new features, maybe bring it into it's own game more, instead of just a zombie grind.
Personally, I think Fallout New Vegas tears it, and every FPS released in the last couple of years apart. Very different games, but I don't read comments every 5 minutes about how awesome, win, epic, and incredible F:NV is. Black Ops is not the only game - I mean what if the next COD game is even awesomer, then COD15 is even awesomer than that - hell peoples heads may just explode with awesomeness. Get over it! - enjoy the game while you can, because there will be another, awesomer COD in 6 months time, and posts about how much better it is than Black Ops.
Personally, I'd like to see some other games get some attention - if you only like Black Ops, then that's fine - although I might suggest manditory sterilisation for all COD fanboys.

Toasty, i like halo but i dont own it or play it often. I have a wii, but i only use it for netflix nowadays.

I didnt say it was the exact same thing, i said it was a clone, by which i meant, the same engine, reskinned with some values changed around.

I bet the only real hard part they had to do was implement the halo style camera in the engine.

Cod4 was revolutionary. You definitely can not say that about these new Cod games coming out.

Yes, sure its still fun, Yes they've made some good improvements.
To me that doesnt mean every single CoD game deserves all of what it gets.


edit:
And i forgot to say,
Mw2 can be changed very easily to make it balanced, infinity ward just failed at it this time.

All they have to change is probably 5 values per gun.

Me? I like a game where each gun a different playing style, it has uniqueness to its own.

M16A1:
RoF : 950 rpm
Accuracy: 5/10
recoil: 6/10
ammo: 20

That would be what i call balanced.]
High RoF(like in real life)
Average accuracy so if bursted, can be effective longer ranges.
Decent recoil so they cant just shot 20 bullets in 2 seconds all accurately.
20 round clip like they used to make,making spraynpray less common.

I'd say screw the attachement, never liked that stuff. Instead tweak your settings to the tightest, so you will get really precise aiming (if the game allows you to, some older ones like Red Steel don't). Then it's just a matter of practice, but after a while I felt that it's the way to go.

Quote: "The thing I remember about the N64 Golden Eye, is how much fun it was, even compared to modern shooters. If it's got that same feel to it, then I'll buy it."


In my opinion it definitly has that feel, but refreshed. The single player campaign and gameplay is awesome as far as I am right now. And I even haven't touched the "Classic Agent" mode yet
And the multiplayer is lots of fun too, but I didn't have the opportunity to play it locally yet, just online. But that got me addicted right away.

Quote: "They should have made a golden gun accessory for the Wiimote"


I could imagine that some company is about to release such a thing.

Quote: "I have generally found that the kind of people who say "They're the same game!" are either fanboys of a competing FPS (inb4Halo) or Wii fanboys."


I don't think anybody here said they are the exact same game. But for me the little change that there is doesn't justify buying the newest version every 6 months or so. And I just hate the word fanboy, I would never ever call somebody like that. Everyone has a favorite and for me fanboy is an insult.

Quote: "I think Fallout New Vegas tears it"


That one was great and had some really innovative aspects to it.
Right now I wouldn't buy another military, some kind of special forces vs. terrorists game again, I'm just as tired of them as I am with WWII shooters.
The next big thing in my opinion would be id's Rage!

Now the plot thickens, the fps decreases, and the awesomeness goes through the roof.

off topic rant..., agian lol but maybe not a rant..

nononononono, I dont like any specific FPS games, and i usually dont play consoles that much.
But i must say, MW, MW2 and Black ops are basicly the same games...

I just wait for the time when they will start making WW2 games again, (World at war is the best COD game i've ever played) Thats, what they should be spending their time on, since thats what they KNOW HOW TO DO.

With comparisons, it's a good idea to check out MAG on PS3 as well, if you can. That's probably the only online FPS on PS3 that I got into recently. Bad Company 2 is great, but I find that all Battlefield games get a bit samey after a while, no matter what they do to mix things up. I am looking forward to the free online Battlefield game though.

WarRock should just give up, it will never be the game it's trying to be. It's like America's Army - these games aren't fun to learn, so people tend to be terrible or great - there's no middle ground, and middle-ground is where I live.

Halo:Reach is a bit of a turkey IMO - it's Halo, nothing more, it's not even as good as Borderlands IMO. All the mystery in Halo was stripped out, all the idea of a struggle - we ended up with another grunt grind and should come to terms with it. Ideally, they'd just re-make Halo for the 360, with new visuals and tweaked level design to cut down the repetitiveness. It's epic, and still is, far more epic than any of the sequels and I miss that. I miss having 200 flood potatoes chase me around, and I miss the freedom Halo had.

you are aware of that he only enlisted PC games right? (all of those work with PC anywhow) so Halo doesnt really fit in there =3

Quote: "it's not even as good as Borderlands IMO"


now u sort of compared it to a totally other genre....
And borderlands is a co-op game only, basicly. Borderlands WORKS on SP, but it isnt GOOD, no actually it is plain bad. It is the same old grind, bosses are either too hard or too easy, enemies are generalily easy.... and the story, huuuga worthless D:

so this would mean, that Halo Reach is, totally worthless and unplayable in singelplayer and barely playable in MP?

I'd say it was a fair comparison, considering that I only ever play Halo games in co-op. My brother and I whizzed through Reach, double quick, and wondered what all the fuss was about. With Borderlands, we set up the projector, got snacks, and it was our life for a good couple of months. Let's not get into genre's of FPS, I'm talking about enjoyment and value for money here.

With Borderlands it feels like your going towards a final goal, working towards something. With Reach, I had no idea if I was on level 4 or level 24 - the storyline consists of Spartans getting themselves killed, trying to be martyrs, avenging each other, and trying to look tough while wearing OTT armor. I do not recall very much about Reach, there's nothing memorable at all. Yet I can remember all of Borderlands, all the funny dialogue, all the epic ant battles, racing around that track, and all the different tactics that we came up with.

I have played practically every FPS, and I know what I like, and truthfully I felt let down by Reach, actually I didn't expect it to be the best game ever, so lets say I felt ripped off by Reach, and it's 1/4 length storyline. I've probably only uncovered 1/3rd of FalloutNV, completed it in 60 hours. Now 60 hours of Halo gameplay would be great, but it will never happen, 60 hours of any other game is unheard off, yet Bethesda manage it every time - I played Oblivion to death, I played Fallout3 to death. If you weigh up the hours of gameplay versus price, well Bungie, EA, Dice, Treyarch - they all deserve a dry slap. I can see why some games have their fanboys - because the poor blighters can't afford to buy other games, not for 10 hours of fun.

Phew, I think I need a coffee before I rant my bottom jaw off it's hinges!

ModEdit: Not helping.

On-Topic:

I played the game for a while and here is my verdict:

Gameplay: 8.5/10
Graphics (for a Wii game): 10/10
Comparison to old Goldeneye: 8/10

I only played FOR like 20 minutes, so this isn't exactly an indepth score.

THANKS SO MUCH for getting back on topic!

That scores you gave are pretty much like my impression. Glad you like it. Played online yet?

Now the plot thickens, the fps decreases, and the awesomeness goes through the roof.

@DJ Almix; Dude, are you serious? You really consider that a flame war? I'm scared to think how you'd react to an actual flame war, that was a serious discussion by all accounts...

Well it was leaning towards there, it's really obvious what it's heading towards.

Not, that seems hard to. Is it odd having everyone use a Wii mote while playing?

I tell you what though. Playing Goldeneye made me get my N64 out again. I miss having those unique N64 versions of things.

BREAKING NEWS: UN Secetary General Ban Ki-Moon has announced that any person who uses the phrase "For a Wii game..." is to be marched to a secure facility and fired out of a big clown cannon into a giant pie. When pressed for details, it was revealed that depending on the level of irony expressed, the guilty party may be forced to wear a green curly wig and oversized trousers. The filling of the pie, however, was not disclosed.

@DJ Almix - You were one of the people to feed the "flames" as it were, so acting as the impartial person here is quite hypocritical.

1 - Let the mods look after the boards, posting things like "Can we please get back on topic" or "Stop flaming" actually makes the situation worse not better.

2 - Forum topics just like any other form of discussion will often deviate from the original topic, this is not a bad thing. You can join in with the new discussion or just add to the original discussion as you please. Not everyone has to follow with the main topic of the thread.


If people start acting out of line, the mods take no greater pleasure in issuing out a swift yet efficient punishment in the form of a ban, slap, back handed compliment, a rude word exchanged across the dinner table, practical joke, custard pie to the face, a "flick of the V's" or treacle poured through the letter box. (We are fans of alternative forms of punishment)
