    Goldeneye is still the best shootemup of all time. I played multiplayer for hours on end for years.

    Jesus, I had completely forgotten about Rare. Knew a couple of guys who worked with them too, back in the day.

    How the mighty have fallen!

    I wouldn't be so sure. There's some Rare rumours in the woodwork about E3 this year. *cough* Killer Instinct 3 Natal *cough*

    Goldeneye is better than Quake 3 and you know it Jazzy!

    I wish more people could actually man up and agree with this. Sure you had great fun with it in 1997 but is it really truly still that good?

    Get 4 people into a room with an N64 and that question will answer itself.

    While I won't deny that the multiplayer is still fun I still think there are better FPS games on consoles that allow 4 player split screen since Goldeneye was released. Anyway Bomberman was better and allowed 5 players and try 8-16 people with a PC at a LAN party with better multiplayer games than goldeneye :P

    Three people bludgeoned to death with trident shaped wounds, and one left rocking in the corner.

    Hey don't get me wrong, I adored that game, played many many hours back in the day (an alarming amount considering I never even had an N64), but it has aged very badly. I trying to sit down and have more than one or two rounds would ruin the memories very quickly.

    My friends hated me, I was the first among us to start doing cheap tactics like detonating remote mines in mid air (a+b together if I recall), having Oddjob hiding in crates (shoot them so they explode but don't fall apart, then crouching and looking at the ground, inside the now clipable box) and the classic, proximity mines on the respawn points/armor/weapons.

    I truly loved that game :D

    It is so unplayable now its almost unbelievable. Slideshow FPS with any kind of action on screen.

    Do yourself a favour and leave this one in the past.

    Viva Pinata is awesome.

    I've heard great things about Nuts & Bolts too.

    Oh don't get me wrong, Rare still make good games. But they used to make the best games imo. I'd like to see them return to their former glory. They owned the N64,so many great games.

    Who gives a monkey's? It provided several years of top-notch entertainment. I don't care if I don't want to play it in 2010 - that doesn't erase those past years of fun.
