GoldenEye: Rogue Agent

"Who needs MI6 When you can be a Rouge Agent"

Who needs James Bond and MI6 when you can be a rogue agent? It's a lot more fun working for the enemy.

Game play: 8/10
The game play is quite fun and has what some other first person shooters don't have, but it is also missing what other first person shooters do have. It's got long missions, a good story, the power eye & a different but good gun system. With the mission's there are only 8, but they are long. As most game's the further in the game you get, the harder it gets. The mission's are backed up by a good story line. Work for Gold finger and get paid. It seems simple, but there is a twist in the game which changes it. A major thing that stands out in this game that other fist person shooters don't have is the eye power. The eye power greatly affects the game play in many ways. With the gun system, it was different to any other I had seen before. Instead of running over a gun and automatically picking it up, you can only carry 1 or 2 guns depending on how big it is. Picking them up is also different but that doesn't matter. A fun thing to do when there are lots of enemies is to take hostages. It would have been better if there were more guns. There are also rogue bonuses like on other James bond games, the more wreck less you are, the more bonuses you get for performing those moves.

Multi-player: 8/10
The multi-player is very fun, it would have scored higher but it lacked some qualities. It had some very good 2 player maps, but not many good 4 player maps. If it had online play it would be even better. Apart from that the multi-player is really enjoyable.

Graphics: 9/10
The graphics are very good and create a fun environment to play in. The guns, the enemies and the levels all look stunning. Explosions also look good.

Sound: 8/10
The sounds are basic but good. The background music is slow or fast depending on the situation. If there are no people, there isn't much sound. If a whole lot of people come the music will change. The bullets sound like real guns so that ads to realistic game play.

Replay Value: 8/10
Once you beat the game, do it on a harder difficulty. It's got a high replay value because it's very fun to replay.

Rent or buy?
If you don't like first person shooters much, rent first. If you really like first person shooters then no doubt about it buy it right away.
