By the way, there are probably many threads that cover this already.
Letting it stay alive for a while though since the other one is merely a simple list ranking thread.
Keep this to more detailed discussion and it'll live.
It feels like a Bond film, you get tons of gadgets, the driving missions are cool, good voice acting (apart from Brosnans voice double), different paths through missions and the multiplayer is as good as Goldeneye (the original n64 version).
Recently I was at a friends flat which overlooked the Olympic stadium in Stratford.
It was the closing night of the Paralympics so could hear the action and see the stadium changing colours from the balcony.
I was more excited when I saw he had that game on an old N64 :D
GoldenEye 64-Everything or Nothing-Blood Stone
I love GoldenEye, because it was both my first Bond game and my introduction to the Bond-verse. It was fun, had great multiplayer, and dual-wielding rocket launchers was just the sh*t, hands down.
Everything or Nothing had a great story, an awesome voice cast (I want Willem Dafoe as a film villain, dammit!), great levels and level design (even though I hate the free-fall level, it looked awesome), and it was just overall fun.
Blood Stone has my favorite Bond, a great and more realistic story, awesome voice work (no character had a voice that didn't fit them, and a personal favorite of mine is the Russian cop/FSB agent Bond's talking to after the Pomerov situation "Do you know how much paperwork I'd have to fill out if there were WMDs here?"), gameplay that just felt right for Craig's Bond (specifically the takedowns) and it's MP wasn't that bad.
But my problem is that I love them all.
Just based on sheer Bond preference, I'd have to go with Blood Stone, but I do love GoldenEye's gameplay, and then there's EoN's voice cast.
I'm probably going to go with Blood Stone, but it's such a tough choice for me.
Every level feels like a different Bond film.
Enemies Vanquished: The Living Daylights/Die Another Day
Deep Descent: The Spy Who Loved Me
Double Crossed: You Only Live Twice. (Henderson scene if it was a full action setpiece!)
Countdown/Equinox: Moonraker/Tomorrow Never Dies
I could go on but I won't. Nightfire. It's classic Bond gaming, the Epitome of Bond games. Activision, you need to more than take notes, you need to retake the effin class! Forget CoD, it's Cookie cutter now, like New Super Mario Bros U or whatever. Ugh! anyway, Nightfire.
Sorry, I've been watching too much Game Grumps. :p
I'd say Goldeneye 64 or EON is a close second.
If you trace the history of the FPS Doom and Quake were pretty seminal, then GE64 which probably was only surpassed by Modern Warfare. And even then that doesn't really do the stealth stuff GE did.
The fact that it was a spectacularly good game in its own right means its head and shoulders above anything since. That it was frosted with Bond flavour icing just makes it even more perfect.
I like it too.
I like GE Rogue Agent, because it feels like 007 Legends for villains. :)
Thisn was the first Bond game that had it all apart from speech.
From the beginning to the end and the multiplayer option. This was the game everyone wanted and what every Bond game want's to be today !
It's gotta be GoldenEye. It's not only what every Bond game wants to be, it is what every 1st person shooter wants to be (in terms of the impact that it had on the video game community).
NICE ONE!
Totally agree with GE64. I still think it was the greatest game ever made for any console. The multi-player was the most fun you could ever have in a game, My friends and I spent countless hours playing it and I can still remember the maps to this day :D
Also have to give mention to Everything or Nothing which was a stunning game when it came out for the ps2. The graphics were breathtaking and the game play was awesome.
Because of the categories; Style & Charm, Brutality and Seductiveness etc.
The Q Manual was ace. And there wasn't much litterature on Bond as a whole at that time, actually !
I read the RPG was not bad.
Couldn't have said it better myself. :)
So it can be said that GE64 was the TB of Bond games?
