GoldenEye 007 (N64) is a far more complex and methodical shooter than COD. COD is simply Doom with a shit load of QTE. I remember IN 1997 reviewers were questioning if GoldenEye was an FPS or an FPA as no other FPS featured such elements of strategy and innovation prior to it. There will never be another to break through like it.
007 games have been hit or miss, Goldeneye of course was awesome, I also enjoyed World is Not Enough, Everything or Nothing was also cool and I think Blood Stone was underrated.
well in the new movies' defense, the flemming bond novels lacked the gadgets and stealth so commonly seen now. The novels were more about bond solving problems by being a gun wielding badass not a sly gadget utilizer
Considering Daniel Craig's bond reboots the franchise with casino royale, it's quite impossible for him to remember past events with other bonds as its A DIFFERENT UNIVERSE
The game instantly showed its age upon release. The shadow resolution was jagged AF, Them frame dips made aiming twitchy along w/ animations, pacing issues, poor online w/ severe unbalancing & grinding for XP. I wish they'd stop with rushed and unoptimized title's to bring 007 back to its former shell of glory. 6.8/10 for me.
If there's anyway of making this game into at least a six is this: - Make each movie sequence a standalone game with a length of at least four hours, kind of like a collection of sorts -If you're not going to do the first one, then at least make a better story for this; maybe have to where Bond is reliving these things because they taught him to be strong and that he can survive this or something like that. There's two ideas, though I may have more. At least Activision lost the Bond license.
well, even 'better', Casino Royale, Quantum and Skyfall are all 'prequels' to the rest of the 'old' Bond movies, so Bond as in Daniel Craig cant remember anything cause it hasnt happened!
I have played this game since I was ten years old and I enjoyed it. The only problem I had with it was the availability of the DLCs. I tried for many months to get the Eve and Patrice Multiplayer DLC pack but no such luck and I had an Xbox 360. I got everything else through cheat codes.
you say that, and i somewhat agree with you. But, like me, go back and replay Everything or Nothing - the rose tinted specs are in full swing as the gadgetry in that is purely optional and more often than not most missions revolve around you getting from one to another shooting umpteen henchmen. No, what was good about those games where there production values and game variety - which is missing here sorely
This has has such a lot of unfairly bad reviews, I admit its not amazing but I actually think it's quite good and deserves a better score. If you like shooting games and James Bond then you'll love it.
They should give bond back to EA. Activision just wants everything they publish to be like CoD. But when you try to combine James Bond with Soap Mactavish,you get crap.
Yes it can, this one is so unplayable and glitchy it's terrible. Blood Stone may not have been a good Bond game but fuck was it more stable than this one.
I haven't seen many of their other reviews, so I don't know how often they compare them to CoD, but you gotta admit, it looked a lot like it. Anyways, they were probably trying to show how bad it is by comparing it to one of the worst and most simplistic games of all time; Call of Duty.
I had fun binge playing 007 🔫🧑🏾📺🎮🛏🤵🏼but the stealth missions were terrible I had to replay it over over over again, the plot was not confusing to me I seen all the movies so I already know what was gonna happen but not everyone binge watches 007, I was definitely feeling like a “commando” than a super spy, the previous bond games were fun than this one, the campaign was way too short boss battles were silly and pointless, the guns was ok to me but it should’ve sounded more realistic and great job doing the review about 007 legends
Good game but no one can replace Connery, Moore, Dalton, and Brosnan in these missions with Daniel Craig's likeness. I understand that he's current Bond but he's not the best. That game is not good enough for the 50th Anniversary. I've seen all of these movies. I can't believe what was done to them in this game. I guess that makers of this game acted on their imagination rather than anything else.
007: Legends uses the Call of Duty engine just like GoldenEye 007 Reloaded before it. After all they share the same publisher as the Call of Duty franchise. You should do your research.
The problem with Eurocom is that they made many very good games - nothing spectacular. GoldenEye 2010, whilst good (due to excellent Wii mote) was too similar to COD and this is simply rubbish COD DLC. I feel for the team as they clearly were not given the time to create a quality title.
Initially,I thought this review was a bit harsh & over the top...but the more I got into this game,the more I realized that GT's review is SPOT ON...this game is a f**king disasterpiece! To add more insult to injury,my copy of 007 Legends is defective,as it doesn't save my progress correctly(the elevator melee scene in the Goldfinger area),as after the save,007 is inoperative & I'm stuck in the scene that follows. I'm glad my copy is defective,because the idiotic melee scenes are intolerable.
go with your gut people if you like james bond pick it up remember this is just a persons opinion i baught this for my nephew and i gotta say im not that big of a james bond fan but i liked this game
This is sad. Here I was hoping to get back into my old 007 passion but it's not even the classic Bond. And with all the reviews I've seen on gameplay, this game seems like a waste of money. I hope there's another spy game in the near future.
It would have been better if they had used the original character in the movies, but hey nobody's perfect so I guess that they had to do something to get this game out to us gamers only trouble is that this game is waaaay too buggy and cumbersome wish they would do an HD remake of the n64 Goldeneye again...
Daniel craig is my favorite bond. I'm getting this soon. Remember people, reviews give you some insight, but its just an opinion. Don't let a score decide if you are going to purchase it, take their opinion, what you see, and your interest in the concept be your deciding factors. Happy gaming!
I was really enjoying the game, until the effing ski chase! How the bloody hell are you expected to finish it? I've tried the ski chase about 40 times, and I get no...satisfaction, as Mick Jagger would say. Thumbs way down for this level!
really guys, like call of duty is any better. It has the same problems as this game, just look at mw3, its brutal. The 007 franchise practicaly started the fps genre with goldeneye, so stop saying it's coping CoD.
Microsoft u own rare and have a lot of money buy the bond video game and say here rare u were good at bond before now we will make you better make me a new bond that cant be dissed because activation is too lazy to separate there FPS'S
The problem is that Rare are not Rare. All staff involved in their pioneering days have long since left. All that remains of that iconic British studio is it's name. Even the designers in Rare now are typical corporate american glut, looking for a generic quick fix.
just bought golden eye reloaded for ps3 because im bored of all the crap on my ps4 and xb1... definitley an awesome game that scratches that bond itch in all the right places...
I love how they call it a COD clone. You wouldn't have COD if it wasn't for Goldeneye 64.
Um, no.
Umm yes. Goldeneye 64 made shooters popular on consoles. End of story.
YOURFACEOUCH"Ummmmmmm" yes... Wiilover07 is right if you knew anything about the history of games.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who knows this.

Nightfire was also great. I'd argue that's the best Bond game after GoldenEye
AJK90
was that the one from EA? Haven't played it yet may try to look for one now that you mentioned it.
Yeah that was for the PS2. I found one on eBay for $10. Definitely recommend it
Blood stone was highly underrated for sure!

Giving it a 3.8 is being too nice. This game deserves at -10 out of 10.

I am so happy that Activision has just lost the 007 licence
"Goldfinger" should definitely be made into a fully-fledged HD game.
Its sad that Activision use the licence as a cash cow considering if done right you could make Jame Bond into a really good game.
The game is descent, and like he said, it's more that James is a commando rather than a spy. But other than that, I think the game's pretty good...
Left clueless?! Who the fuck buys a Bond game without seeing the movies...
What happened to good Bond games?
Like Goldeneye and Nightfire?
So...they have Craig's likeness, But they don't use him for the game?? That's unexceptable in my book.
Die Another Day?! Over 20 Bond films, this game has five levels, and they waste one of them on Die Another Day? Was there no better choice?
die another day was an anniversary movie, that's why (20th movie) and die another day isn't that bad
+joshfish2 its terrible and dont try to deny it the could have easily put in The Spy Who Loved Me or
leon floyd I will deny it, because it wasn't that bad, I have my many reasons, if you want to hear them anyway
RIP Eurocom. You never got a chance
It desnt expect you to gawk, it expects you to cry. That is a genius line
"Go after him James... Get the tampon." 4:00
I mean, this looks like a game that would have been fun to finish in a weekend
Sadly it is and it literaly pans me to say it since bond is my favourite thing ever
GoldenEye for n64 was truly the best bond ever
well, even 'better', Casino Royale, Quantum and Skyfall are all 'prequels' to the rest of the 'old' Bond movies, so Bond as in Daniel Craig cant remember anything cause it hasnt happened!
some or good but also did you not forget the blatant steal of Bloodstone's score?
I have played this game since I was ten years old and I enjoyed it. The only problem I had with it was the availability of the DLCs. I tried for many months to get the Eve and Patrice Multiplayer DLC pack but no such luck and I had an Xbox 360. I got everything else through cheat codes.
If N64 Golden Eye realeased in 2012, it would still be much better than this
He's using a Lumia 800, my man.
you say that, and i somewhat agree with you. But, like me, go back and replay Everything or Nothing - the rose tinted specs are in full swing as the gadgetry in that is purely optional and more often than not most missions revolve around you getting from one to another shooting umpteen henchmen. No, what was good about those games where there production values and game variety - which is missing here sorely
I couldn't tell, but one of the best newer ones is the Bond game before this one, it's called Blood Stone
This game shouldve came out years ago for the PS2
for me, the hard parts are the stealth parts ... ironically
it is published by activision. its basically lower class "dlc" with a more classic shooter feel
This has has such a lot of unfairly bad reviews, I admit its not amazing but I actually think it's quite good and deserves a better score. If you like shooting games and James Bond then you'll love it.
Stay for the Bond theme, leave for the game :P
This is a great concept.... But buy did they fuck it up....
It's sad.
Rare was amazing during the snes andn64 era..
This is all true there are a ton of glitches and other things almost like the game was made over a period of one month
They should give bond back to EA. Activision just wants everything they publish to be like CoD. But when you try to combine James Bond with Soap Mactavish,you get crap.
2:35 I can't focus in the mission bond
Yes it can, this one is so unplayable and glitchy it's terrible.
Blood Stone may not have been a good Bond game but fuck was it more stable than this one.
i started this game last night. I had so much fun
I haven't seen many of their other reviews, so I don't know how often they compare them to CoD, but you gotta admit, it looked a lot like it. Anyways, they were probably trying to show how bad it is by comparing it to one of the worst and most simplistic games of all time; Call of Duty.

It's made by the same company,we expect that kind of stuff.
LOL THEY SPELLED LICENSE WRONG

How about
Call of Bond: Spy Warfare
I he like how he talks about the AI as if its the much different to COD AI
to be fair they are both FPS that are published by the same company.
007 Legends is not that bad
So what about wolfenstien 3d and doom?
If you want a stealth film, watch James Bond, if you want a stealth game, Play MGS.
they drop the licenses they didn;t loose it
Bond of Duty: Modern Borefare
so...a must have then.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare games has explained
Initially,I thought this review was a bit harsh & over the top...but the more I got into this game,the more I realized that GT's review is SPOT ON...this game is a f**king disasterpiece!

go with your gut people if you like james bond pick it up remember this is just a persons opinion i baught this for my nephew and i gotta say im not that big of a james bond fan but i liked this game
look anyone whose ever shoot a shotgun. u no there's like no kick.. and the ROMER on the streets is guns like mp5 and I think aks have like no recoil.
This is sad. Here I was hoping to get back into my old 007 passion but it's not even the classic Bond. And with all the reviews I've seen on gameplay, this game seems like a waste of money.
I hope there's another spy game in the near future.
Wow, a game that is worse than cod? Now THAT is an accomplishment
It would have been better if they had used the original character in the movies, but hey nobody's perfect so I guess that they had to do something to get this game out to us gamers only trouble is that this game is waaaay too buggy and cumbersome wish they would do an HD remake of the n64 Goldeneye again...
well I am just happy they don't have it anymore
Actually it's a Sony XPERIA.
ACTIVISION, please go back to what you did for Bloodstone, as much as I liked the original Goldeneye, James Bond works better as a 3rd person game.
Hoe to finnd Wi-Fi hack data link time perss button
why do i have to cry why why why
it has no killstreaks, and has a more slower paced feel playing online.
i had fun with this one. 7/10 for me.
Eurocom should've stuck with Wii exclusives after they branched off they got worse
Sony Xperia in Xbox version too ^_^
Looks like a Mod for Modern Warfare
Yeah, I agree. Remixes like the Goldfinger, OHMSS main themes and "Space Laser Battle" from Moonraker are my favorites.
I like 007 Legends
It's true that the game is very simple... But I like that! It's like watching the best scenes of the movies and interacting through them easily!
um.....yes they do
Daniel craig is my favorite bond. I'm getting this soon. Remember people, reviews give you some insight, but its just an opinion. Don't let a score decide if you are going to purchase it, take their opinion, what you see, and your interest in the concept be your deciding factors. Happy gaming!
yea (i cant beleave that im saying this) EA TAKE BACK THIS IP AND FIX THIS FRANCICE (sorry bad english)
I was really enjoying the game, until the effing ski chase! How the bloody hell are you expected to finish it? I've tried the ski chase about 40 times, and I get no...satisfaction, as Mick Jagger would say. Thumbs way down for this level!
...happened YET (forgot something :-p)
really guys, like call of duty is any better. It has the same problems as this game, just look at mw3, its brutal. The 007 franchise practicaly started the fps genre with goldeneye, so stop saying it's coping CoD.
Buy Bloodstone instead.
this man gets it
the golden eye remake was pretty bad.
Is this game good or bad reply back
CoD 1 ???
Some please tell me how to download the dlc!
type "g3tb0nd" in the cheat code menu. You will also get a walther ppk
+WH250398 what about the skyfall missions?
Clorox Bleach
Will unlock also!
Quantum of solace is the best game In my opinion
I'm CoD, Just CoD...
this is the worst Bond game yet. So warning to people who enjoyed the movie skyfall like me, DON"T BUY 007 LEGENDS!!!!
if your gut is telling you to get this game, you dont have much of a gut.
It's better than Rogue Agent.
Even blood stone are better!
Microsoft u own rare and have a lot of money buy the bond video game and say here rare u were good at bond before now we will make you better make me a new bond that cant be dissed because activation is too lazy to separate there FPS'S
The problem is that Rare are not Rare. All staff involved in their pioneering days have long since left. All that remains of that iconic British studio is it's name. Even the designers in Rare now are typical corporate american glut, looking for a generic quick fix.
that's because this game adopted too much of cod.
call of duty bond opps
It's like Destiny but better.
just bought golden eye reloaded for ps3 because im bored of all the crap on my ps4 and xb1... definitley an awesome game that scratches that bond itch in all the right places...
i guess
Game Developers: Those hacks?! PFFT! We can do better!
*FAIL*
