Are EA finally done Pussying around?,
This review is from: GoldenEye: Rogue Agent (PS2) (Video Game)
To anyone expecting a resurection of the N64 great, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed with EA's latest offering. Simple as that. But anyone with an open-mind willing to invest a few hours in completing the first few levels of G:RA will be amazed at the return of some of the greatest venues/characters in the bond series.Okay the winning components may be looped together with some piecemeal and average at best cutscenes but this is more than compensated for by the intense gameplay. Without taking out too much of the surprise, EA have introduced some great enhancements to their bond formula such as the 'Goldeneye' artificial eye, which enables you to see enemies through surfaces (yes very farsight in Perfect Dark!) and deflect enemy bullets and the very sexy weapon handling scheme. The weapon handling has been made more realistic, as the player can only handle a weapon in each hand or one BFG. This can be frustating at first but the satisfaction of offing enemy troops with both a sawn-off shotgun and machinegun is second to none. So all in all the game is a winner but like most classic albums will take a couple of plays to really get into. Oh yeah multiplayer is worth 40 notes alone!

Not perfect but good fun,
By Lupinych (Warwickshire, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: GoldenEye: Rogue Agent (PS2) (Video Game)
I (foolishly) bought this game from a supermarket before reading the reviews on Amazon; when I did check the reviews my heart sank. However, whilst some of the criticisms (ie, those made in the Amazon review) are entirely valid, I still rate this game pretty highly.Whilst it's nowhere near as ground breaking as the beloved N64 game (of which I am a fanatical fan), it's still a lot of fun. It's smooth to play; the graphics are as good as any I have seen on the PS2; generally it is a very satisfying killfest. The controls - if you change the system from "Precision" to "Classic" - are pleasingly similar to the N64 game. The engine isn't as good, but then which game, apart from "Perfect Dark", does come close? Not many I've played. And therein lies the key: if you're expecting "proper" Goldeneye, you will be disappointed; but this is the PS2, not the N64, and this game compares well to the likes of Medal Of Honour, I reckon. The "story" is indeed a right load of old nonsense, the multiplayer levels ARE sprawling (and the lack of a radar is a real pain), and the absence of online capability is unforgivable - but 4 player split screen is still a blast. All in all, as long as you don't have hopes which are too high, this is a great game, a really enjoyable shoot 'em up. I've only played it on easy level and even then it's quite challenging. If the lack of online business puts you off, wait till it comes out on Platinum or buy it 2nd hand. I'm a veteran gamer and I like it - JUST DON'T EXPECT IT TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE LIKE "GOLDENEYE" DID!

More of a No, No than a Dr.No,

This review is from: GoldenEye: Rogue Agent (PS2) (Video Game)
I first inserted the Rogue Agent disc into my PS2 a week ago, and although I've been playing it on and off ever since, I'm really not impressed. Really and truly it's just a shoot 'em up/ Platformer. Having been a big fan of the last Bond installment 'Everything or Nothing' I was waiting with baited breath and itching thumbs to get my mits on what I assumed was the next installment. How wrong could i have been. Where 'Everything or Nothing' required strategy, skill and speed... Rogue Agent requires the user to have the ability to button bash R1 and L1 buttons. Not a bad game to pass the time; if it's raining, you've completed every other game in your collection and the TV's rubbish, but lets hope the next time the powers that be decide to stick the 007 tag in a game lets hope it deserves the stamp.. Rogue agent doesn't!
