GoldenEye 007: Reloaded

Goldeneye 007 is a great remake of the original. Although sometimes it feels more like COD than a 007 game, I've heard there is an option to change that. I was really surprised that this level of graphics could be accomplished with the Nintendo Wii. This is a great game for teens/adults who don't know what to do with their Wii. What I mean by that is some people criticize the Wii for being a console for kids and grandparents, but when games like Red Steel, Madworld, Resident Evil 4, and this came out, it was a nice surprise as being a game library closer to the Gamecube which wasn't a console advertised for being for grandparents or kids. I like how the motion controls are used. They are NOT clunky, rather well used. The multiplayer is a good time. The multiplayer in the original Goldeneye is better, but this is pretty fun as well. I don't have anything to say about the online features because I played this in 2021 and internet connection for the Wii died 7 years ago. Like I said, the graphics, look great for the Wii. As for the designs of characters, I don't have issues with Bond being Daniel Craig although Goldeneye is a Brosnan movie. Although a part of me thinks how cool it would be if they made Bond Brosnan and had voice acting by him. So I would've rather if they made Bond Pierce Brosnan. Other character designs are pretty standart which is fine. All and all, Goldeneye 007 is worth the average price it's going for in Ebay which is 20 dollars. Worth every penny and should be in your Wii collection if you like first person shooters or James Bond. I love this game even though I haven't seen any Bond films. A 9.5/10 in it's genre and a 10/10 overall.

I have seen the movie GoldenEye (which was awesome), but I never played the original N64 title. But hopefully, one day it will come on the virtual console. When I heard about the remake, at first I rolled my eyes, but I changed my mind when a friend told me how awesome it was.

The story follows the movie, mostly, they change some of the locations of some of the events in the movie, and I don't want to spoil anything for people who don't know the plot of the movie. One thing that was weird was the changing of characters. By this I mean, they got Daniel Craig as Bond and changed all the other character voices and designes. It doesn't take away or add anything to the game, it was just pointless and I wish they didn't change the designs and got the old actors from the movie, but the voice acting was very well done anyway.

The graphics are good for what the wii is capable of, there is sometimes a choppy frame rate, but it's nothing that will affect the gameplay.

You could use either the wii mote nuchuck combo, classic controller pro, or gamecube controller. I liked the wii mote nunchuck combo. For those of you who prefer dual analog stick aiming, use the classic controller pro and get the game with the gold controller like I did.

What I liked a lot about the gameplay was how you had to put a bunch of stealth in it and there would be some running and gunning in it, so the game was never boring. From what I heard, the levels aren't recreations of the original, so don't expect the exact same campaign. One thing that I don't like was that the game could be dark at times. Yes sometimes you were given night vision goggles but the darkness could still get annoying. The split screen multiplayer was so much fun, it's the best part of the game. You chose your character to play as and the weapon that they use, choose how the match will go and the arena, and thats it. The online mulitplayer was good, but not great. The lag could get very bad at times, but other times there was no lag and it was a lot of fun. Oh and the game is hard even on the easiest setting.

Good: Controls, Graphics, Single player, split screen multiplayer, online mode is fun when there's no lag, voice acting difficulty.

Bad: Too dark sometimes, minor choppy frame rate (in single player mode), the online mode isn't fun when there is lag.

Overall, "GoldenEye 007" for the wii is amazing, anyone who has a wii and likes first person shooters, get this game now. And those of you who don't want to get this game because you loved the original so much, give it a try, you might like it.

I give this game a "9.5 out of 10" (Superb)!

So why make a direct adaptation of a 15 year old movie that's quite literally NO ONE's favorite James Bond movie?

Well because they wanted to trick people into thinking it was a remake of the Rareware game

But the N64 version has practically nothing similar storywise to the movie while this game actually follows it fairly closely So that goes without saying that both games are unrecognizable from one another because obviously it plays nothing like it either.

But that's okay because it's actually pretty fun

It has bad gameplay decisions that definitely bogs the experience down like easy as sin Quick Time Events and the god awful final boss but nothing does that as much as the ridiculously long loading screens that happen every single time you die.

Games aren't meant to be easy And dying is key to getting better So you should probably try your damned hardest to optimize that

It turns a very smooth and fast paced shooter into a slog on the harder difficulties.

As a longtime James Bond fan with fond memories of the N64 GOLDENEYE from the '90s, I took a chance and picked up this game. My wife has had the Wii for some time now for her fitness stuff but I never touched it -- in fact, the last video game I'd spent any significant time playing was the original GOLDENEYE almost 15 years ago. I was skeptical of how well a FPS could work on the somewhat limited Wii platform, and am quite honestly not a fan of the controllers (the Remote and the Nunchuk thingee). However, using the Classic Controller (with View control set to "Inverse") made all the difference. So far I'm having a lot of fun playing this game! For a Wii title the graphics look great on our 56-inch TV. The changes to the original plot and the replacement of Pierce Brosnan's Bond with the likeness of Daniel Craig add freshness to the gameplay. So far the solo-player version seems a tad short but it's at least challenging, especially when playing at the higher difficulty levels. The real longevity of the game, of course, lies in its multiplayer capability and I'm looking forward to diving into that.

We didn't get a new Bond movie in 2010, but the revamped GOLDENEYE for the Wii turns out to be a decent substitute.

This was an enjoyable Bond game. One reviewer called it "Fun for the 007 fan who's a casual gamer," and I would agree with that. The learning curve in this game was very easy to cross, and while the gameplay and story aren't going to blow you away, you could definitely do a lot worse.
