If we were to really get technical, the N64 controller only had one analog stick.

Of course, but as said there was a control scheme that took advantage of two controllers at once for what was essentially dual analogue control. You used both analogue sticks; one to aim, one to move.

I also think they have some problems with the brightness... everyone should adjust their setup when playing.

Again, it's the Wii itself, not the hardware. Certain combinations of cables and display devices can result in a very dark image that cannot be corrected by adjusting said display device. In my case, only component cables produce an image of the proper brightness.

Wow, I never even knew that was possible and I played the hell out of Goldeneye on the N64...

Did people actually do this? I've never heard of anyone that has ever done this before

The jump in graphics from the N64 version is huge:

We used to. We pretended it was a co-op mode too sometimes. =P

 

[MidnightRider]

Wonder if they payed IGN for that score

 

[KevinCow]

Hellz yeah, I just got first place in my first match online. Went straight from level 1 to level 3. :smug:

I'm much happier with the controls after spending some more time with it. I'm just going with the Experienced 3 preset, it seems better than any of my attempts at a custom setup. Still not perfect. I still don't like the way ADS feels, and the complete lack of pointing when sniping is disappointing. I'm also not too happy with how weapon switching works. If you're always going to have your P99 with you, I wish they'd just mapped that to its own button instead of making you switch between three weapons using one button.

 

[jufonuk]

What i was trying to say about review scores is at the end of the day, it is wether I like the game that counts seeing as I am buying it.

sometimes it is nice to hear you dont have bad taste I guess

Myself and others here are enjoying it. The score isn't that wild. Gaming Nexus gave it an A- and 1Up gave it a B+. The only mind boggling review is the 6.5 review from GI, but looking at their past reviews on MP Trilogy, CoD4 Reflex, and even Paper Mario shows how clueless they are.

Yeah, I just saw that. And the review was like only 2 paragraphs! It really sounded like the reviewer was so upset that Activision and Daniel Craig messed up the Goldeneye 64 game that he just wrote it off without even playing it!

Also, it's odd they gave Blood Stone a 7.5 and said that Bizarre nails the Bond franchise. Such a huge contrast from IGN!

Just finished playing a bit, my import arrived early this morning, but I've been studying all day. =(

I played up until the Facility end.

• Multiple difficulty levels. All difficulties have all objectives. Higher difficulty = more objectives must be completed.
• It's possible to complete a level without completing objectives and consequently failing
• Time Trials unlocked for each level upon completion
• Failing objectives but completing levels lets players continue on lowest difficulty setting if they wish
• Objectives so far seem boring. They are all ones that you just scan with your smartphone.
• Objectives are not placed in linear fashion.
• Multiple paths throughout levels. Developers have created environments to accomodate different play styles.
• Voice acting is superb
• Pointer controls are manageably but I prefer Classic Controller Pro.
• Presentation is, on a whole, excellent.
• The game generally does what "should've" been done with the original, but the original couldn't due to technical difficulties
• The atmosphere in the Facility is amazing. It actually feels like a facility, if that makes sense.
• The Dam level was completed in 22 minutes on hardest difficulty
• There is a 007 classic mode, which allows players to not regenerate health, akin to the original.
• CUTSCENES ARE NOT SKIPPABLE ON REPLAYS OF MISSIONS but I have yet to see if they are skippable on the Time Trials.

That's all for now. I need sleep. T_T

IGN doesn't mention how long the single player game is. They just say "a few hours" whatever that means.

Hopefully it doesn't mean 3-4 hours.

Turok was awesome back in the day. I remembered "The Big Cheat" for almost a decade after I stopped playing my N64

I must say, the game does look better in action.

Anything about the DS version yet? It is intriguing me very much

 

[scitek]

Not surprised you can't skip the cutscenes since it's using the Dead Space Extraction engine.

This game is out today?! And it is actually good?! Completely missed that fact! I have class tonight but will definitely pick this up and spend some quality time with it this weekend.

Is there online play? Does the Wii still use those stupid friend codes? Sorry, I'm so out of the loop.

This is getting pretty darn good scores. Looks like it will average 85-90, gotta say I'm happy that I risked using my Amazon credit on the Golden Controller bundle!

It's funny how this game is a 4-year late to the party for FPS gamers that have no experience whatsoever with wii pointer shooters.

hmm. they seem to praise the classic/gamecube controller, but i don't like the sensitivity :\

 

[Teknoman]

From the joystiq review:

The "50 dudes vs. James Bond" shoot-outs are the meat of the game, and unfortunately, that's where things get inconsistent. Occasionally, I'd be forced to shoot at the floor under an enemy or the just to the right of him for a kill. There are a few factors you can play with to try for a better result, like switching control schemes, finding a weapon with a reflexive sight or changing the placement of your Wii sensor. When things work smoothly, the feeling is quintessential Bond. When the controls start bugging out, it's infuriating -- I mean, you were pointing the gun right there.

I really dont like the sound of that. And the whole benefit (for me anyway) of playing an FPS on the Wii is usually the potentially awesome pointer/motion controls.

Can anyone else with the game comment on pointer controls?

 

[Fantastical]

I think I've seen enough to convince me to buy it. I'm wondering what GB will think about it. They seemed pretty down on it at first (like many, myself included) but the split screen multiplayer QL they had looked surprisingly fun (I think they were surprised too). Really, I'm just hoping the single player is good because the multiplayer seems really nice.

Yeah, I remember them on the Bombcast saying how they were perplexed that people clapped for it at E3. :lol I mean, surely they understand the power of nostalgia... and that was pure nostalgia. I don't think GB has anything against the IR pointer or anything.

 

[Bisnic]

So what the shit is wrong with my game? I load the game for the 1st time, i see the No Save Data warning asking me to create a game file.... and i'm stuck there. I press every damn button on my wiimote and nunchuck and nothing happen. I point at the screen and there is no pointer. WTF? My Home button still work and the Wiimote works just fine with other games & Wii menu. Did i just bought a broken game or what?

Do you have a Gamecube controller or another controller connected as the first player?

I'm kinda interested in it because

A) I think Ryan or Jeff mentioned in one of their commute vids that Alex might be reviewing it
B) They're going to be playing the game with Activision people for their TNT on Thursday, which will include prize giveaways. I wonder if they'll have the review up before then, because it would be hella awkward if they gave it like a 2/5 and then had people from the publisher there playing it with them.

Someone had this problem earlier. Do you have any GC controllers plugged into the ports on the wii? The game assumes you want to use them. Unplug them.

As I said in an earlier post the controls are good but can be skittish at times. What was mentioned in the quote you posted sounds like what I have experienced. I'm going to mess around with the settings to see if I can improve things.

I have the Wavebird wireless device connected to port 1, but the controller is turned off.

And yes that was the problem. Sigh.

Thanks, almost thought i had a broken game.
