So, you are forced to find a more quiet part of the field before pausing. While it’s great for cinematic purposes, the flaw here is that while you are transitioning into the pause menu, you can still get hit and there’s really no way of avoiding it. Instead, it has that famous looking down at the watch and zooming in motion. The pause menu is also unique in that it isn’t just a simple menu that appears in the middle of the screen. This minimalist approach to a display, I felt, really worked well for this game because all you have is just the action in front of you. The only things that are on your screen are the weapons you are holding and a number for how much ammo you have in your clip and how much ammo you have total.

The meters only appear when you take health and disappear again after a moment. The orange-like meter on the left is your health while the blue meter on the right is the amount of armour you have left. This game simply has a health meter that mirrors the watch. Most first person shooters (and several third person shooters) have a percentage of health and armour sitting in the corner of the screen somewhere. One unique element of this game is the health and armour gauge. Occasionally, you are supposed to protect a character throughout a level while they perform certain tasks for you (which, I found, to be the more infuriating levels). Sometimes, you are to rendezvous with another character (like Valentine). Other objectives get you to disarm bombs or deactivate security systems. Some objectives simply involve not killing civilians or scientists. If you complete the level without completing all of the objectives (or failing an objective), you won’t get treated to the end cut scene and you won’t unlock the next level.ĭifferent missions require you to do different things. The difference is that you are also given a set of options that can dictate how hard or easy it will be to either take out guards or how much damage you take from each shot.

The 007 difficulty allows you to play each mission with the full compliment of objectives. An additional difficulty, 007, can also be unlocked. So, if you complete the first mission on 00 Agent, you have all three main difficulties become available on the next mission. If you complete a level on Agent, the next mission will become available, but only with the option of selecting Agent as a difficulty. I noticed that in the 00 Agent difficulty, you could find yourself almost emptying an entire pistol clip before taking down a guard unless you go for a head shot. Other changes are the enemies accuracy, how much damage they can deal with each hit and how many shots it takes to take an enemy down. Harder difficulties add more objectives that can be much more difficult to fulfil in the mission. In Agent difficulties, mission objectives tend to be fewer and easier to accomplish. While the level remains the same, many other elements change depending on the selected difficulty. In your first mission, the Dam, you are given a choice of difficulty: Agent, Secret Agent, and 00 Agent (easy, medium, and hard respectively). You select things with the use of a red cross-hair that is re-used in the actual game play. The game starts off with a menu system based off of navigable file folders. It would go on to be one of the most memorable N64 games ever made. While there is a trend that video game adaptations of movies were almost always a formula for making flops, this adaptation was completely the opposite.

Released in 1997, the game was based off of the movie of the same name. In fact, if you were around in the N64 days, chances are, you played Goldeneye 007 at least once. Perhaps one of the most played N64 games is Goldeneye 007. Granted, it’s not as high on the list of must-plays as the original Doom, but it’s pretty high up there on the list. By Drew Wilson When it comes to first person shooters, it would almost be sacrilegious to consider yourself a die hard first person shooter fan and have never played Goldeneye 007 for some.
