    Goldeneye may be dated but I would never call it an unplayable mess. For shame Retro, for shame.

    It was such an awesome game when it came out, especially the multiplayer which used to be funny as hell. Proximity mines littered all over the place used to cause random mayhem.

    It's dated with those old frozen cube faces on characters and shoddy fps but it's far from unplayable. I still play this the odd time on a 64 emulator, cleans the graphics up hugely (from being a blurred mess) and the 4 player multiplayer is still great fun.

    So....any reviews yet?

    As it stands, treyarch for me has made the best FPS for Wii (Prime is still the best FPA though) so I'm getting more and more inclined to save my dough for Black Ops Wii for Xmas. Strange thing is, either way I'll be supporting Activision, where is Kirby's Yarn Nintendo????

    True, even more sceptical too when IGN were given the World First Exclusive Review. Either way, gonna wait and see, that said from the promo videos Activision were trying to instil the image that Eurocom were heavily focused in developing this game. So fingers crossed, the review metascore is something along the IGN lines.

    Framerate in the IGN review looks very choppy, distracting even, even in multiplayer and the lack of a chat function is slightly offputting as I love team based games online.

    Use what you think is best. It's getting good but not great reviews.

    Here's hoping the wiimote and nunchuck control variety is good - that's the best way to control any FPS game. Classic controller is supported though.

    From the videos I've seen so far this looks a very nice title. Love the brutality of the shock troopers that try to flush you out when you get a little too overt. Definitely going to get this sometime, prolly for Christmas. Looks a lovely re-imagining. One thing I cannot understand is why people are criticising the game for including COD like elements. It's a shooter, no harm is copying formulas from the best, that's what all good (and bad) video games do. The exaggerated stealth over the top action sequences is perfectly in keeping with the bond theme. Natalya looks real nice too.:o The only downside I can see is the lack of gadgets. MP looks alright, the lack of voice chat is annoying, but I've coped before. (Vent to the rescue hehe)

    Click on the youtube tab in the top toolbar and only insert the numerical code after ?v=

    In your case

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ii3D69Z3x4

    would become [*YOUTUBE]4ii3D69Z3x4[/YOUTUBE] (without the *)

    and give you

    The frame rate is pretty good most of the time on single player! :) The game is defiantly a worthwhile purchase :)

    I got this yesterday, I even took the day off to get it early and it's deadly! Single player is great fun, I think the fact that each difficulty adds more objectives like the old game is a great idea.

    Multiplayer is great craic, killing someone with oddjobs hat is great fun! If anyone is on the fence about this game I think you should get it, if you like call of duty and the original Goldeneye this is a great hybrid of them.

    Has anyone got this on the DS.Don't have a Wii & I can't find any reviews of the DS Version.I imagine cause the DS tech is a bit like Nintendo 64 that it'd have a good version.

    Fantastic game. Possibly one of my top Wii games this year.

    7/10 with the Wiimote

    9/10 with the controller

    I dont think there is a DS version of this, AFAIK, the new DS one is a DS version of Blood Stone

    [edit]
    Looks like I was wrong!

    Just finished the campaign today and I loved it :D I really liked how you could chose to sneak around the level or go in a massive firefight :)

    I also prefer to use the wii remote + nunchuck combo since it is faster and more accurate than using a regular classic/ gamecube controller.
