GoldenEye 007: Reloaded [Review]

Overall Feeling: 

You shouldn’t let the name fool you or cloud your perception as GoldenEye 007: Reloaded isn’t as great as either of the things that inspired it, the 1995 film or the classic Nintendo 64 game.  As a James Bond adventure the reimagining of GoldenEye is passable to an extent but is lacking the character and entertainment value of the source material – which may not be real-world era gritty but still holds up well today.  Game wise GoldenEye 007: Reloaded is simply another average FPS game that maintains a consistent level of action which is hardly enhanced or is varied in any way.  It would’ve been great to receive a modern day version of GoldenEye that could live up to the original but instead we have a thoroughly average licensed FPS game.

The Pros: 

+ Original soundtrack is amazing.

+ It’s easy to blow through the game in one setting if you’re looking for an afternoon rental.

+ Daniel Craig is still a boss, even in video game form.

The Cons: 

- Missions are completely dull and in some cases are broken up in a weird way.

- Gameplay is responsive for the most part but it’s nothing we haven’t seen before (think CoD: 007).

- Reimagined GoldenEye plot has some nice beats but feels odd and well-known characters become mere throwaways.

- No major 007 style presented at all.

- Online modes are laggy and the net code as of now (at least on the PS3) is really poor.

Video games are in a way the last true source of creativity we have going on today.  Every now and then we get a film or TV show that breaks the mold by trying something different, but for the most part its video games that allow us to have our imaginations go wild due to the creativity that we’re experiencing and interacting with.

Activision Preps A Special GoldenEye: Reloaded Bundle For The PS3

Once again we’re getting a James Bond video game but there isn’t a whole lot of fanfare for it since it’s a mere HD port of an existing game. In a way gamers should still be excited that the recent Goldeneye remake is coming to the PS3 and Xbox 360 but personally I would’ve preferred an original James Bond such as the one Raven Software was formerly working on. But c’est la vie and having played a bit of GoldenEye 007: Reloaded I’m slightly warming up to the concept of spending some time with a James Bond FPS once more.

Truth be told, I’m a little torn up about GoldenEye: Reloaded. There’s a part of me, a big part, that wants to get excited again about the return of GoldenEye. I have as many fond memories of the Single Player Story (that I must have played through at least a couple of dozen times), and as many “Oh man! And this one time…” stories as anyone else out there… But it’s starting to feel like maybe we didn’t need a remake. The Wii port was an interesting take, and Perfect Dark on Xbox Live Arcade was a whole lot of fun for a while.
