When it came out, there was nothing quite like GoldenEye 007.
20-something years later, there's still nothing quite like GoldeEye 007, for better or worse.
This was the game all the stinky boys played, huddled in front of the biggest TV any of our parents had. We brought our Nintendo 64's to school and played it there.
While it's far from perfect, it's hard to think of any other games except for Perfect Dark that scratched that same local multiplayer FPS itch on N64.
The graphics were just fine for the time, and the controls felt pretty awkward no matter which control scheme you used, but the gameplay was (and is) addictive, and there are so many variations on the James Bond theme song, and most of them are still stuck in my head.

If it wasn't for GoldenEye 007 I truly believe we wouldn't have first person shooters like we do today. So for that, this game is legendary. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
