Thank you Goldeneye 007 for saving the corridor shooter genre from becoming one of the deadest out there. Instead of bloodbaths and mindless shooting and finding keys like 99% of the other corridor shooters out there, Goldeneye tries to attempt something better. And it succeeds greatly.

You have to carefully think of how you are going to do each task. If you have to sneak into a building, you have to move quietly and dodge guards or at least take them out quietly. If you fail to do so, he might ring an alarm or call for help. Then, you'll have some trouble on your hands. If you are running through a place and there are civilians, you probably don't want to take them out 'cause otherwise you'll have to do the level over again. Not exactly Turok, huh?

The weapons are impressive. This is probably the only corridor shooter in which you actually use all the weapons. Instead of futuristic gizmos that don't do much, you have handguns, Klobbs, and sniper rifles, each fit for their own jobs. In addition, there are several gadgets you use such as magnetic watches and timed bombs.

The four player mode is definitely more polished than Hexen. You have several modes of play so you won't get bored at all (playing Man with the Golden Gun is a good way to get players to explore the levels).

All in all, this was a great game. It lived up to all the hype. You can't go wrong with it.

Overall: 9.4
