GoldenEye 007 Vs ...GoldenEye 007 (Reloaded) - Master Of Annoyance - 05-17-2015 Well, it's been a few years since the "re-imagining" of GoldenEye 007 with Daniel Craig instead of Pierce Brosnan came into existence. Having played through both games again very recently and forming my own opinions, I got to wondering, which one do others prefer? The original N64 classic? The re-imagined one? I think, for the most part, this game still holds up to this day. Sure, basically everything about it is primitive compared to the technology available today, but I think it's still a very solid, simplistic FPS. Probably my biggest issue with it now is realizing after all these years just how much the enemy soldiers don't act like soldiers. They just blindly run towards your position to try to come get you and they don't take cover behind anything. When they do seem to be taking cover, I'm pretty sure it's actually the game glitching up and they're stuck on whatever it is they're behind (usually a crate). They're basically running sitting ducks, if that term even makes any sense. I remember when I first got the Wii version of this game back in December, 2010 as a Christmas present a couple months after it came out. I had no idea what I was in for. I eventually got frustrated with it, said something to the effect of "Bah! This is nothing like the original", and put it away for probably about 2 years (seriously). Fast forward 2 years later, I was bored. So I decided to give the game a chance again. This time around, I took my time with it, learned what I was doing, and finally was able to eventually get through the entire game. Once I got off my high horse, it was quite enjoyable. Now having played through both games, I can honestly say I ultimately prefer the re-imagining more. I'll always enjoy the original, but I think the re-imagining is a far better experience, at the very least for the superior enemy soldier AI that I talked about above. I think my biggest gripe with the re-imagining, however, is the storyline. Now I fully applaud them on the decision to come up with a modernized story, since things like the fall of the Soviet Union in the early 90s really would have no bearings on events taking place in 2010. But it's how they explained Trevelyan's motives behind his betrayal of Bond and MI6 that I have a problem with. Quote:ORIGINAL STORY See that? Alec Trevelyan actually has a reason to want to get revenge against England. Now look at what they cooked up for the modern day Trevelyan. Quote:NEW STORY Well....now Trevelyan's just a greedy bastard. What the hell? They couldn't come up with a new scenario that still had him seek revenge for his parents? I feel they got very lazy with this. So there's my two cents. What do you guys think? Which is the best GoldenEye 007? RE: GoldenEye 007 Vs ...GoldenEye 007 (Reloaded) - Ghenry - 05-17-2015 I don't see why people still care about Goldeneye when Perfect Dark is literally the gameplay sequel to it and improved everything about it. RE: GoldenEye 007 Vs ...GoldenEye 007 (Reloaded) - WeaponTheory - 05-17-2015 GoldenEye didn't age well. Reloaded, I only played the demo and thought it was neat. The controls were similar to Call of Duty, so that helped.

Very true, but I felt that if we added Perfect Dark to the discussion, then we'd pretty much have to talk about every James Bond game ever as well, and that really isn't right either. |
