GoldenEye 007 is a 3D action game with very realistic graphics and intelligent gameplay. You are James Bond, also known as secret agent 007, and as you start this game you have 20 missions in front of you.

GRAPHICS: 5/6

GoldenEye 007 is graphically one of the best games that I've tried on UltraHLE. It doesn't really come close to Zelda, but it's still great. The characters are very realistic and the detail level is high.

SOUND: 4/6

The sound effects are very good and real. The sound skips and the graphics gets pretty slow when you are attacked by a lot of people, but otherwise it's great. The music is very good too, and you can even turn it off if you want to.

GAMEPLAY: 5/6

Definitely one of the best 3D action games, since it's not raw action all the time like Doom where you just run around and wipeout everything within 50 feet. Instead you need to think before you act, or you'll set the alarm off and you'll have 25 people trying to kill you within ten seconds.

ADDICTION: 6/6

Something very important for a game to be a good game is addiction. Without it, you quickly loose your attention to it. GoldenEye 007 has addiction, and a lot of it. I've stayed up too late too many nights, just because I wanted to finish one more mission.

OVERALL:

The missions are very variated, everything from using the camera to photograph a satellite, to escape in a plane. You can even drive a tank, and I tell you one thing, you feel pretty powerful with 60 tons of steel under your seat. Overall GoldenEye 007 is a very good game, one of the best I've tried with UltraHLE.

Golden Eye 007 is a N64 classic. It is very addictive, very good gameplay and the multiplayer gaming it's outstanding

This is the game that defined 'first person shooter' for me and my friends, who never really played games on computers. I was always a console person, I still remember playing 4 player GoldenEye back in the day... jeez, those where the days. Anyways, now I can play it on my computer and thats cool, but it's starting to show its age quite a bit... well, I mean, when theres a choice between Half Life 2 and Goldeneye, it dosen't stand much of a chance. Then again, I still play Super Nintendo, like, alot, so I guess I have a double standard goin on.

Goldeneye is awesome! I have been addicted since playing it at a friend's house one...two...three... a looooooooong time ago
unfortunately, the mouse doesnt work on PC (my view changes with buttons, which sucks A LOT)
I don't know a way to change this other than buying a pad and pluging it into my PC

try using n-rage's plug-in and also you need to press the tab button to unlock/lock the mouse
Goldeneye is a great game though not as fun as perfect dark, I still consider it as a must for anyone who owns the n64. cheers for rare for another great game arty:. (*sigh* those were the days)
