Fantastic game slightly let down by shitty writing that threw away every single iconic moment from the film.
>Great graphics.
>Great gameplay.
>Good voice acting.
But the writer, Bruce Feirstein, tried to "update" GoldenEye, and ended up throwing away everything that made it amazing. The film revolves entirely around Russia, the Cold War, and the treachery of the British during WWII. The game tosses all that out. Rareware
s GoldenEye game managed to keep more of the film intact than this thing.
>One half of everything is luck.
>And the other half?
>*sirens blare*
>Fate.
That's just a taste of what you won't be getting while playing this game. They even managed to ruin 006's speech in the park by removing all the grandeur and nuance and turning it into a little bitch session about rich people and banks.

Did you ever stop to consider the fact that maybe you just got older and more cynical?

story aside, the game is pretty great, shooting was rather unique and had good levels, MP is kinda weird and ran like at 20 FPS, but it was good while it lasted

How do you mean?

It was CoD but with a bit more effort and added stealth elements.
I'm sort of intrigued in picking up the 360 version for the upgrade in graphics and performance.

James Bond is a character that is meant to appeal to horny teenagers. Naturally, you liked the version more that you saw as a horny teenager.

It's a remaster. Running on a different engine. Mostly better graphics, but mirrors don't work anymore.

They didn't change Bond. They changed every single other character in the film. And the setting. And most of the major story moments. And basically every line of dialogue.

I don't see why people compare it to CoD when Eurocom had been making Bond games since 2000, and their GoldenEye played more or less the same as The World is Not Enough and Nightfire.
Was it the optional regenerating health? Was it the first person cutscenes? Call of Duty didn't invent those things.

Then you meet Xenia and realise they've totally ruined her character by stripping out basically every defining attribute.

It was the controls, linearity, and scripted events. Utilizing various gameplay tripes that CoD follows except with the spy espionage approach instead of a soldier in a world war.

Aside from aiming down sights, how were the controls "CoD-like"? And how was the game more linear than World is Not Enough/Nightfire? And the scripted events? Is Half Life 2 "CoD-like" now?
