I didn't have a PlayStation or Xbox until middle school and so this was my first real FPS experience. While the campaign proved too muddy and generic for a lot of players, at the time I thought it was super cinematic and exciting.
GoldenEye is of course a remake of the N64 classic and changes it into a Daniel Craig Bond adventure. It mostly follows the original movie with new cutscenes and set pieces and takes a lot of inspiration from Call of Duty campaigns.
But what really kept players coming back was the multiplayer. I put a lot of time playing the off-line split-screen mode with my friend Zac where we'd often run 1v1 golden gun matches or bazooka wars on Nightclub. This was a whole lot of fun and gave me a bit of nostalgic reverence for this admittedly flawed game.
Some people really got into the online multiplayer for the game as well, with the Wii pointer controls giving it a different feel than traditional controller FPS games. It was sort of fun but I never got any good at it and would find myself constantly obliterated in these matches.
