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

Fun:
I'm really rather sick of first person shooter games. They are a dime a dozen and with all the Medal of Honor and Call of Duty games out there do we really need another? If you really want a cutting edge FPS with the 007 brand name then go for Goldeneye 007 - Collector's Edition (Wii). Rogue Agent is just a quick cash-in product.
There is a bit of a twist though. It's fun to play a villain, there's a little bit of RPG (only a touch) and the villains from the older movies (such as Dr No, Blofeld, Oddjob, Goldfinger and Francisco Scaramanga) come back, even though they are supposed to be very, very, long, long dead. But this novelty didn't last long and I quickly became bored of the game.
Plus there is too much going on. Hooked up to a home theatre this game is loud and thrilling but it will easily induce epileptic seizures so beware. Plus the targeting is terrible. If you have a gun that sprays bullets everywhere you will still have trouble killing a lone enemy in the distance. This got highly irritating.
As these type of games go even Die Hard Vendetta was better. Nice music though. Pick it up cheap if you must.

i thought that this game was good in some ways and bad in other ways for example,the graphics of explosions are brilliant and u beign able to be bad for once in a game but it onlyn took me 4 hours to complete on the hardest setting, but it is great fun to play all the less //(great when bond dies)//
the bad side is the time it takes to complete it and that u can re heal which makes it far to easy to win but then u do need it for the shere amount of enermies u face.
your eye is a brillient wepon letting u create force fields,gravitational pulls looking through walls etc it is great.
u can have about 200 wepon combonations and can also knock enamies unconsious and then use them ase a shield or hurl them into there mates well i wont spoil it any more for u but i hope u will now run out and bie the game just to experience the stunning game play...

this is not a sequel to RARE's goldeneye 007. whoever came up with aim control with a thumbstick should be shot in the knees, it is frustrating if you are used to PC FPS's like doom 3 and CS. i played for about 30 minutes and dont have a desire to turn it back on.
