GoldenEye: Rogue Agent Reviews pour in

[Big Tuna]

Reviews have been coming in for the sequel to the great GoldenEye game, and it isn't looking very good. Gamespot gave it 6.3 out of 10 and IGN gave it 6.5 out of 10.

IGN's Review:

Presentation-7.0/10

Slick menus are coupled with a snore-fest of a story and empty, shallow characters.

Graphics-6.5/10

Holding up at 30 FPS on all three systems, Rogue Agent sports dull textures, level designs, and generic enemies.

Sound-7.0/10

Paul Oakenfold doesn't make his strongest case here, while some of the voice-acting is good.

Gameplay-5.0/10

The run and gun gameplay is decent, but the single-player experience is a slog of repetitive, boring levels with no climatic sections. The Goldeneye stuff feels like a second thought

Lasting Appeal-8.0/10

This 10-12 hour single-player game is better in the four-player multiplayer modes. Decent as a split-screen game or online for PS2 and Xbox.

Overall-6.5/10

I played a demo version and new it was going to fall flat on it's face.

I'm probably the only one alive to not like the original Goldeneye >_>

The original Goldeneye was one of the greatest games ever, making a(nother) sequel is a retarded idea.

[PkmnTrainerJ]

Goldeneye kicked ass, and I think it was a good idea to put a new twist on the sequel to it but I haven't played it yet so I'm not gonna judge it.

[apsham]

What the fuck? I thought it was pretty good actually.

The truth is, this game only shares the name with Goldeneye. It doesn't play/look/sound/feel like the original Goldeneye and it's just EA trying to cash in.

It was a bold move coming out a month after Killzone(PS2 Shooter GOTY) 2 weeks after Halo 2(XBOX shooter GOTY) and a week after Half-Life 2(PC Shooter GOTY) and it looks like it's hurting Goldeneye

GameSpot's review:

An uninteresting story and lackluster gameplay, both online and off, leaves Rogue Agent feeling rather flat.

GameSpot Score: 6.3 fair

Gameplay - 6

Graphics - 6

Sound - 7

Value - 7

Tilt - 6

Damn, and after seeing the ads I wanted to get the game.

[Hellfire]

don't listen to the reviewers. Check the game out first, as you might still enjoy it. I would suggest renting it or something.

There hasn't been a good 007 game since Rare lost the liscence.

I like how a 6 is considered bad....

[FunkAsPuck]

Its not like this had tons of hype behind it anyway.

I always thought the next gen Bond games sucked ass. Short, boring story mode accompanied by a very average multiplayer mode.

[apsham]

I just read the 1UP.com review and now i'm convinced. I'm glad I ended up not getting this.
