Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Using the name GoldenEye for this latest 007 game could be one of the most ill-advised choices in marketing history, since it beggars all sorts of unkind comparisons to Rare's seminal N64 title, which to this day remains one of the best games ever made. The choice of name is all the more puzzling because the game has nothing to do with the film or, save the first person perspective, Rare's magnum opus. In fact the rather unlikely reasoning behind everything is that you are an evil ex-MI6 agent who after a fight with Dr No is given an, err… golden eye by Auric Goldfinger. The game's premise is such that all of Bond's greatest bad guys are still alive and caught up in a sort of underworld civil war, in which your character seeks to be the real beneficiary. Ignoring such nonsense though, and looking purely at the game, the AI seems quite good and the replacement of Everything or Nothing's "Bond Moments" with scripted "Death Trap" sequences is fairly amusing. Unfortunately though the developers seem to have forgotten that the original game was as much lauded (at least a year before Thief or Metal Gear Solid) for its stealth gameplay as much for its shooting and this element seems total absent from Rogue Agent. The multiplayer is also unconvincing with no radar and rather sprawling level design. It might turn out all right when it's finished but at the end of the day this is no GoldenEye. -- David Jenkins Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Significantly undervaluedYes, as you probably know, this game has no real relationship to Goldeneye on the N64. It was probably a huge mistake of EA to attach the Goldeneye name to the title, from the start this created an impossible comparison that EA could never really hope to match. This has led to Rogue Agent being cursed by an entire generation of gamers when, in fact, it's a very good game. It actually has more in common with last year's Perfect Dark Zero and the now standard Halo than Rare's classic Goldeneye. Rogue Agent isn't particularly original but then it doesn't need to be; The level design is competent and entertaining, the enemy AI is excellent and the graphics are nothing amazing but very nice. This game can be very rewarding if you approach ...

This game is so shockingly poor it's beyond me how some people have posted postitive reviews for it. The level design is awful - bland and void of any surprises or ingenuity. The controls leave little to be desired - unresponsive and innacurate. The graphics are poor - they lack the polish and detail found in superior games (Half-Life 2, Doom 3, Chronicles Of Riddick etc). I'll admit some of the AI is reasonable and the enemies can present a challenge but they disappear as soon as they die. I don't even mean they drop to the floor and disappear gradually ... Read More: Rating:  - Extremely Underrated!This game does have a very solid story line which i for one have been waiting forever to come across. The idea of two different Bond film villains and their minions in all out conflict...is superb. The MI6 Agent who lost his eye becomes reckless and leaves MI6 to seek revenge. He joins Goldfingers organisasion and even gains a replacement for his human eye...the 'Golden Eye'. A robot eye designed to aid you in seeking your revenge. It can see enemies lurking behind objects, it can tamper with electrical equipment etc...the idea is sheer genious. The range of weapons and the ability to choose which hand to pick up a weapon and use it is great. It brings an almost endless choice of weapon combinations. The fact that you permanently have a gun either in ... Read More: Rating:  - Pony and trapI was excited when i heard that this game would be true in spirit to GoldenEye 007 for the Nintendo 64 - which was, at one point in time, the most fun that four people could have together with their clothes on. I was massively disappointed on this count. So, forgetting any link to the N64 GoldenEye, implied or otherwise, how does this game stack up when evaluated on it's own? Pretty poorly. The story, such as it is, is unengaging and hard to swallow - all the Bond villians together getting stuck in at a 'who's the evilest' competition - and doesn't pull you through the game like a story should. The graphics are quite good in places, particularly the character models. The sound is also pretty good, with good music and sound effects - enemy speech is a ... Read More: Rating: - Load of rubbishi bought it the day it was released in high expectations of it being a great game. Later that day i played on it, for the first and the last time. The game has a bad storyline, poor choice of weaponry and bad title name. Goldeneye has nothing to do with the game! |
