GoldenEye Rogue Agent review:4 stars (Great game, poor controls) - I have to say this game offers up just about everything I like in a first person shooter; great graphics, a wide array of weaponry, and just the right amount of strategy and innovation. The dual weapon system, while a bit hard to get used to at first, allows your character to have surprising versatility, but not without limitations. Unlike other FPS games where you can carry a complete arsenal of handguns, rifles and explosives, Goldeneye can only carry up to 2 weapons at once, and ~3 clips of ammunition for that weapon. Early on you have to learn to conserve your ammo, as well and picking and choosing which weapons to pick up and which to leave behind.Unfortunetly, like many games for the Gamecube, this one suffers from a very severe gameplay flaw. Even with nimble hands and hours of gameplay experience, it's impossible to make up for a controller that is just so unintuitive. The game offer 6 different controller modes, but all of them are clumsy on a controller that lacks true dual analogs. Making use of one sensitive analog stick and one, less-sensitive "c-stick" will only get you so far, and it will have you pining for the days of the surprisingly fluid controls the N64 offered you for the original Goldeneye game.This seems to be an issue with just about any port or cross-platformer; independant developers just can't come to terms with a controller that seems like it was badly designed on purpose. However, there is hope on the horizon; the new Nintendo "Revolution" gaming console will be backwards compatible, and Nintendo is working on new "revolutionary" input devices that will hopefully allow for greater precision and intuition than their current monstrosities.This is a great game, and it's a blast to play head to head (although the multiplayer aspect is somewhat lacking). However, if you have an Xbox or PS2, you might find your controller situation a tick more satisfying.4 stars (A Great Game- But Has Some Faults) - Great game on a whole but there are a few faults: The missions are way to long- it would have better if there were many shorter missions instead of a few long ones. There are no computer controlled AI bots in multiplayer. You are not really a 'evil' person as the game might suggest as you fight other evil villians- the most evil thing you can do is to take an enemy as hostage. The 'shoot-everything-that-moves' gameplay that each mission consists of, from beginning to end, can get borring after a while. The game itself has no real plot.

On the possitive side: The excellent multiplayer mode that supports up to 4 players (human controlled) allows you to play on a large selection of beatifully detailled maps from the single player missions and different James Bond movies- it is much better than the multiplayer mode on 007:Everything or Nothing which is embarrasing at best. There are many ways to fight opponents incuding: machine traps, a large selection of weapons, and a golden eye that has 4 modes. You can hold two weapons at a time and try different combinations. The weapons themselves are great, with a large variety including some that can shoot through walls and some that can disintegrate your opponent. In the game you can fight with and against various characters from the James Bond movies making it more interesting and enjoyable.

In general GoldenEye: Rogue Agent is a good game, a twist from the normal James Bond game series. It is in first-person, which in my opinon is better than third-person for shooter games. This game is a must have if you're a James Bond fan or action gamer. 1 stars (Rewards Villainy) - Unlike the other Bond games, this one requires the player to choose evil and betray colleagues to win points. Stick to the Bond-as-Hero or Bond-as-Team-Player games.
