DESCRIPTION

The top-secret electromagnetic satellite known as GoldenEye has fallen into enemy hands. It is believed the Janus Syndicate, an international terrorist organization headquartered in St. Petersburg, Russia, has stolen the key to the device, which could render the world completely powerless. Your mission, James, is to infiltrate the organization, find out who is responsible, and prevent the satellite from being activated. Rare's third Nintendo 64 release is a first-person shooter based on 1995's GoldenEye, the film marking Pierce Brosnan's debut as James Bond. The action is spread across 18 missions, each with multiple objectives to complete, from powering-down a communications dish in Severnaya to photographing maps.

Nineteen weapons range from silenced pistols and sniper rifles to proximity mines and throwing knives. A red crosshair target helps pinpoint shots so you can draw as little attention to your presence as possible. To help you complete the different objectives, Q has supplied your character with an array of nifty gadgets. These include a covert modem, watch laser, microcamera, bomb defuser, door decoder, key analyzer, watch magnet, and plastique. After fulfilling your duties for Her Majesty's Secret Service, the one-player game is not over. Another difficulty level becomes available, offering new objectives to fulfill on top of previous ones. Enemy soldiers will also become harder to defeat.

The game offers a total of three difficulty levels (Agent, Secret Agent and 00 Agent) designed to maximize replay value. You can also challenge up to three friends in the multiplayer mode. Eight scenarios offer varied styles of play, from a standard deathmatch to team battles offering a choice of two-on-two, three-on-one, or two-on-one matches. Other modes feature Bond movie titles. In You Only Live Twice, each player is given two lives while attempting to be the last one standing. "The Living Daylights involves holding a flag for as long as possible. "The Man With the Golden Gun" has players searching for the pistol that kills with one bullet, while "Licensed to Kill" makes every shot fatal. Adjustable multiplayer options include time or point limits, arena location, weapons, and health levels. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“@pongsifu right--I cannot confess to understanding this idea.

I mean--I really s not hard to talk to women. I have been known to walk up to them all the time and chat it up.

What I do not get is why so many guys are so nervous and shy around women.

Women do not want the shy sensitive type.

We want somebody we can protect. THIS is why we go after assholes. It is this strange and odd desire to nuture.

It is pretty much akin to why some guys like the whole damsel in distress thing. It gives them the desire to nurture and protect the woman.

Though, just like how if a girl goes out of there way to get nearly injured, if a guy acts like a jerk too much, there is going to be no interest in the matter.

THIS is why the arrogant jerk wins out against te shy sensitive guy. We want to well--protect them from the stuff their social ineptness causes for them.”

GoldenEye 007 (N64) by: Vegeta

“The best FPS game for the N64 in my opinion. The levels were large enough, you had objectives to meet, and if you were good enough you could unlock two secret levels.”
