Goldeneye 007

Goldeneye 007: The minute I saw the silver Nintendo spinning I knew that
Goldeneye was going to be a great game, and I also knew it would soar up and
above Star Fox 64 on my Top Ten chart. Just the quality of the death throes,
and the fact that the environment takes real damage, makes this game great.
It's always the little things, the things normal people overlook, but when
you play the game, then you notice them. It's just fun to wander around and
shoot stuff and see what happens to it. Like if you shoot a gas can, it
explodes. There are also little traps in the game. Like in Servernaya in some
of the cabins there are little toys, but when you shoot them, a huge
explosion occurs and if you are too close you take major time damage.
Graphics: 9.5 The graphics in this game have to rank up there as
some of the best on the Nintendo 64. Walking around in the awesome
anti-aliases Goldeneye world is almost a treat. If you shoot someone
in the shoulder then they will grab their shoulder and stumble around
in pain, all very realistically, and without an unnecessary amount of blood.
Sound: 9.0 Also, some of the best on the system, the beginning
music is my favorite, and throughout the game there are variations
of the Bond theme, sometimes classical, sometimes hard rock. It
depends on the level. But for every level you are assured some nice music.
Replay Value: 9.0 The harder level setting you play, the
more cheats you uncover, and the cheats are some of the best,
some of the coolest, and the funniest I've seen in a while. The
overall game doesn't leave much to be desired, it's not one of
those games that you say, "I could of done better then that!"
Believe me, you'll have fun.
Cash Value: 9.0 This game is worth your money. Enough said.>
Overall: 9.6
