Platform: Nintendo Wii | Edition: Standard Edition
Manufacturer's Description
Bond is back and so too is the most influential first person shooter in console history. Years before Halo, GoldenEye on the Nintendo 64 was the multiplayer game of the age. Many games since have tried to emulate it but until now it's never had an official update.
Despite having been in business since 1988 this Derby-based developer is something of an unsung hero. They specialise in licensed games and have worked on everything from Lethal Weapon to Batman Begins and Ice Age. They have also created a number of different James Bond games.
 GoldenEye returns, except nothing is quite the same... |
 The multiplayer mode has all the classic villains and guns |
 The updated story mode looks and plays better than ever |
 Silenced weapons and new stealth attacks are essential |
Although the basic design of the original game is maintained this is no straight remake, with every element of the design and graphics revamped and improved for the modern age - with a new cast including Daniel Craig as Bond. With plenty of surprises for even the most avid fan of the original this still manages to retain the unique mix of action, stealth and world-beating design.
Of course GoldenEye wouldn't be GoldenEye without its multiplayer mode, with the classic four-player splitscreen mode back and playing better than ever. For the first time though there's also an eight-player online option, for the ultimate Bond experience.
Key Features- Dr Yes: The best Bond game ever, and one of the most beloved first person shooters of all time, returns with a whole new makeover and mountains of new features.
- Thunderball: The ground-breaking single-player mode returns in a way you've never seen before, with new story elements, new moves, and some of the best graphics on the Wii.
- Screen Giants: The classic four-player splitscreen multiplayer returns with all your favourite, levels, weapons and classic Bond villains such as Odd Job and Jaws.
- Golden Gun: Use the controller of your choice from a Wii remote to a Wii Zapper, Classic Controller, GameCube joypad or even the limited edition Golden Classic Controller Pro.
- Hollywood Talent: Daniel Craig takes the role of Bond, with Judi Dench as M. Plus the original film's script writer Bruce Feirstein is back to update the story for 2010.

I thought the game was brilliant. My mum bought it for me and from the first day I got it I loved it. Missions are very good and action packed and they are hard but if you like challenges this is the game for you. but If your mum is a bit cautious then you will have to check with her before she says yes [infomation for mums and dads] the game has no blood or bad language. Ok that's all from me, have a great time playing the game. P.S I think that it should have been a 12

I am the stereotypical Nintendo Wii casual gamer. I put my hands up - I'm not entirely green, but I don't know a great deal about video games. More experienced gamers might think that is very apparent from my review, but there must be lots of Wii owners like me out there: we play Super Mario Kart / Galaxy with the kids and a bit of Wii fit when we're feeling guilty - and that's about it. As a big James Bond fan, I thought that it was high time I reclaimed the Wii for a bit of grown up fun. This game is a reworking of the classic, genre defining Goldeneye game originally seen on the N64 - that's why it's Goldeneye and not a more recent Bond film. This time around Daniel Craig has stepped in as Bond (something to do with licensing agreements) but everything else (as far as the film is concerned) is as it should be.
The first thing that struck me about this game were the production values: A proper James Bond soundtrack provided by David Arnold. The voice talents of Daniel Craig and Dame Judi Dench. Even the titular Goldeneye song has been re-recorded by Mrs Lewis Hamilton, Nicole Scherzinger. These production values continue as you play the game - When you enter a night club the song playing is Samantha James - Right Now which is a Hed Kandi classic. And what follows is an incredibly atmospheric slow motion shoot-out to Billie Holiday's The Man I Love - "One day he'll come along, the man I love..."
I'm playing the game with the Nunchuck and Wii-mote. I tried a Wii-Zapper (the gun) but didn't think it really added anything and went back to the standard setup. You point the Wii-mote around the screen to look and target your enemies and use the joystick on the Nunchuck to move around.... Read more ›

Goldeneye for Wii is a brilliant game and a must have for any Wii owners who want a decent shooter.
Yes, the N64 original was a great game but the Wii version is just as good and now with the added bonus of online play. I have owned the game for a while now and before writing this review, I dug out my old N64 and played the original to ensure my rose tinted glasses were sufficiently removed.
Goldeneye Wii is a remake to a certain extent in that the story is pretty similar and the gameplay (which made the original so good) is excellent, but this new version has been made in the mold of the new Bond played by Daniel Craig and you vistit mostly different locations. You can use the Wii remote & Nunchuck, Wii Classic Controller or a Gamecube Controller and modify the controls almost endlessly which is a great feature. The graphics are pretty good, the levels are fun (although one or two more would have been great) and the online play is very good. The only issue I have found with the online play is there is an occasional time lag/jerkiness (although this could be my internet connection) and sometimes you are kicked out of games when the host player quits. The offline multiplayer is also great fun, just like the N64 version.
Overal, the game is a great success and a very much needed addition to the limited amount of good adult games available on Wii.

My 11 year old son had been on at me to get COD 4 for ages. Like any responsible parent I looked around trhe reviews and asked teenagers that I happen to teach for their advice. Basically the reason why I have not got him COD4 is because it is graphically violent and has loads of swearing. There was no way that I was going to get COD4 which left me with areal dilemma. I frantically seaached and came across Goldeneye. It says 16 but I plumped for it having read other reviews. I am so glad that I bought this for my son. There is shooting (which is what he wanted) but there is no swearing at all and hardly any sign of blood. My son is two days into his game and he absolutely loves it...and so do I. Parents who let their kids play COD4 should be ashamed of themselves. This is exactly what I wanted for my son - loads of guns, shooting etc but without the glorification, swearing etc.

Many websites say that there are 5 top action games for the wii: Goldeneye, COD black ops, COD modern warfare 2, COD world at war and Star Wars the force unleashed 2. Out of those, I'd say this game is the best. I never liked the force unleashed, COD games are brilliant, but only on PS3 or Xbox. They're simply not for the wii. But because this game was designed for the wii, it works great with it. The wii is a good platform in many ways, but alot of its games ae very cuddly and nice. Soon, i (like many others) began to crave a bit more action and shooting, and because i don't have an Xbox or PS3, I was delighted when this game came out, as this was the best A/S for the wii. For singleplayer you basicaly play james bond in the storyline of Goldeneye, split up into 6 missions. There are some differences, of cource, but it generally sticks to the plot. For multiplayer, you have lots of different modes to play around with online and offline. Offline is good, and I don't have the online but i know that it is fine but you get alot of freezing because of the wii's limited processing power. There are only 2 bad points to this game; the first is the darkness, sometimes you literally can't see at all, even when you have a decent tv and ajust the brightness settings. The second is easily avoidable, and that is that YOU MUST GET THIS GAME WITH A CLASSIC CONTROLLER PRO. You can get it with the game in the limited edition or buy it seperatly, (if you do this just remember that you have to get the pro,'cause the normal one doesn't have all the buttons needed in this game) it doesn't matter, but its so important that you get one. The normal cofigureation sucks, you can't aim properly and if you don't hold wiimote stock still, you spin around like crazy.... Read more ›

Great Fun
Don't let the 16 cert put you off, this game has limited violence and no bad language. A 12 Cert would be more appropriate
