Using the name GoldenEye for this latest 007 game could be one of the most ill-advised choices in marketing history, since it beggars all sorts of unkind comparisons to Rare's seminal N64 title, which to this day remains one of the best games ever made.

The choice of name is all the more puzzling because the game has nothing to do with the film or, save the first person perspective, Rare's magnum opus. In fact the rather unlikely reasoning behind everything is that you are an evil ex-MI6 agent who after a fight with Dr No is given an, err??? golden eye by Auric Goldfinger.

The game's premise is such that all of Bond's greatest bad guys are still alive and caught up in a sort of underworld civil war, in which your character seeks to be the real beneficiary. Ignoring such nonsense though, and looking purely at the game, the AI seems quite good and the replacement of Everything or Nothing's "Bond Moments" with scripted "Death Trap" sequences is fairly amusing. Unfortunately though the developers seem to have forgotten that the original game was as much lauded (at least a year before Thief or Metal Gear Solid) for its stealth gameplay as much for its shooting and this element seems total absent from Rogue Agent.

The multiplayer is also unconvincing with no radar and rather sprawling level design. It might turn out all right when it's finished but at the end of the day this is no GoldenEye. -- David Jenkins

This is a very good game. This is very hard.But otherwise this is realy fun!!!!!!!The thing I like the most is that you can fire 2 guns at the same time. This casino level is very hard. The bit where you have to get all the volts and where you have to destroy doctor no's aircraft is so so hard I only just completed it. The bit where you have to destroy the normal aircraft is hard. The hardest levels are hong kong and the casino level. The fantastic thing is how fun it is. I recommend you buy this great game. Child wrote this review.

love it!love it!love it!love it!love it!love it!love it!love it!love it!love it!love it!
this is a cool game you cannot put it in words! for james bonds sake! buy it the best bit i think is that you can watch james bond fall with a helecopter landing on him but thats not the point its so much fun its just as good as from russia with love its heroic and i feel even today with the ps3 and x box 360 it is the best of the best of the best! its cool and GODLIKE! the god of all 1st person shooters.

This game is brilliant when I bought it I was really exited and I was not dissapointed when I went on it. I found this game really good as the wepons are great and I love the graphics it provides. On 2 player you can have all kinds of different areanas you see on films. If I was you I would buy this game and they are going cheap on this site now (and even cheaper on used) if I were you I would get it off used but make sure it works!!!

I completed this in no time and I'm a fairly lacklustre gamer.

The single player mode is sweet, but very short, with minimal plot to engage you. When the plot does finally arrive it's totally out of keeping with the usual Bond stuff, which could be interesting, but it's been written really poorly and bulked up with attractive graphics.

The two player mode is awful on the PS2. They might as well have not bothered. It's a grim state of affairs considering so many developments must have taken place since the original Goldeneye.

EA Games have proved once again that they are the king of the mediochre and are really just desparate to get your cash. The 'EA Games: challenge everything' moto is as under and unrepresented in 'Goldeneye: Rogue Agent', as it is in most of their range.

On the upside, there'll probably a million cheap, unwanted, second-hand copies on the high street very soon.

This game is really tough It's hard to get through the levels they are so long. But otherwise it rules you can have grenades, rocket launchers, pistols, machine guns you can even have 2 guns at the same time.
