GoldenEye: Rogue Agent

"*sigh* Another overlooked game."

Yet another overlooked good game NOT about Bond(gasp!), this is about Goldeneye and his quest... for revenge!

Story: 7/10 This is another revenge storyline, but it is a good storyline about Goldeneye's, uh, golden eye, how he got it, his alliance with Goldfinger, and the war between Goldfinger and Dr. No.

Gameplay: 9/10 Although it is ANOTHER 1st person game, it is done well. You can take hostages, throw people, melee(although this is basic, some games don't have it) duel wield(this is one of the first games to do so), activate traps AND use your golden eye(get where the name came from?) to activate machinery, deactivate guns, see through walls, put up a shield, super melee and throw people around! Come on, people! Learn to like this game! It's fun! Also the game is VERY stingy on headshots: shoot someone or get shot in the head, you/he/she dies.

Graphics: 8/10 The graphics are good, but some animations are blocky and there's a lack of lighting. There's also ragdoll! If you see my sig, you'll know I'm a fan of it.

Guns: 8/10 The guns range from basic, such as a pistol, SMG, or an RPG to the rare, like a minigun to the unique, like a rail gun that shoots through walls and a gun that disintegrates people on contact. In other words, the gins are original and basic at the same time! It's too bad there's no vehicles you can drive.

Online: 9/10 Like Rise of the Imperfects, the online is good, as it has different modes, different models and little lag, but with the lack of a substantial audience.

Overall: 8/10 Although this is another FPS, it does well to grab your attention, and keep you interested. The only lacks are a repetitive story and a mild lack of originality. I give this game an 8.2, rounding down to an 8. Why people don't play this game(the online is fun! Don't believe me? Try it!) I don't and probably will not know exactly.
