THE GOOD:
Bond Story, Driving Missions, Cool Visuals and Music, Awesome Multiplayer

THE BAD:
Repetative, Boring at Times, Flat Missions

SUMMARY:
Goldeneye. The name itself reminds Bond fans of so many things. First off would most likely be Pierce Brosman's first Bond movie, whom people believe could be the best Bond or a better Bond then Connerry himself. But for gamers, Goldeneye is quite possibly the best FPS ever created. Bringing PC joy to the TV, Goldeneye was a truly revolutionary game to the FPS genere. But after the rights were sold to EA, the games that came out have come no where near what Goldeneye was. In fact, most were downright awful. Is this the change in the system? Is this the game you'll remember? You wish.

First off, we have an origional Bond storyline. That's right, origional. No longer are the Bond games contained to already made storylines. And to say, it is very interesting and captures you at times. Also, a new addition to the games are driving missions, which are the absolute highlight of the game. Shooting missles from your car has never been so much fun. Watching the effects is downright sweet.

To add to that, the graphics do look pretty good. Sure, at times the game looks quite bad, but in general, its OK. The music and effects are also very good and very Bond like. However, the voiceovers are not all that great. Bond looks like Bond, but doesn't look like Bond. What gives? But in the long run, it's good. Another great thing about the game is the multiplayer. Split-screen action, of course. It can great pretty chaotic, but it is really fun.

Now, for the bad. The game can get repetative. You shoot. It's a shooter. Go figure. But it still does get old. Sometimes, you'll turn off the game just cuz you're done with shooting. Also, the missions themselves are about the same: Either kill someone or something, find something, go somewhere, or protect something. That's basically all you do in the game. Driving missions are your saving grace, but they don't come in frequent enough.

All in all, this game is not what gamers have been craving. With Goldeneye still on the brain, this game is a disappointment. Even without it, it still ain't that good.

GC  Meh. Simply Meh. 3.2

THE GOOD:
Death, of course.
Pretty good guns.
Cruise control, I mean you use the car.
They actually talk for once.

THE BAD:
The graphics could use some work.
Man, is selecting the weapons hard or what?
Same plot for about 6 levels.
The plots suck as well.
MULTIPLAYER IS A PAIN IN THE ARSE {mentioned in the comments).

SUMMARY:
Man, why did this game come into mind? Sorry, but it's okay in my opinion but could use some more, uhh, better graphics and they have the Golden Gun but it's just the PP7 all over again. Rent it for $5 and waste your life playing it because it's a pain in the arse.
Multiplay SUCKS! Easy difficulty and they're standing there letting you kill them. Hard and they hunt for you. Play if you like 007, if you can.
I'll hunt you down if you buy it, because it's only good to rent it.

GC  Okay Shooter 3.0

THE GOOD:
This game has good graphics, except for the faces, there it's probably okay at best. Plenty of guns to choose from, everything from machine guns to rocket launchers. Well designed levels and an excellent storyline. Battle mode feature is good for multiplayer action.

THE BAD:
When playing multiplayer mode with computers, they can be kinda idiotic at times. Like standing still aiming at you, for seconds, giving you ample time to shoot them. Of course that's only my experience, because I always set them on the lowest setting of difficulty. Also, this game has kinda poor replay value.

SUMMARY:
This game probably isn't a must buy. I wouldn't even recommend wasting $5 on renting it, let alone buy it. The only reason I got it was for a Christmas gift. I'd gladly trade it away for $15 to anyone who wants it.

GC  First Bond to drive through a whole city 3.0

THE GOOD:
~Neat looking levels
~Action pact
~Driving missions

THE BAD:
~A lot of things
~It feels fake

SUMMARY:
Well I would like to say. whoo yeah whoo, Game cube has a game where bond gets to drive through a whole non linear city, great hey. Well this game is not as bad as what most people say, really I think that they are just saying what everyone else thinks, though I think that this is a very average game.

At first this game makes an appealing presentation but is ruined by the game play. The graphics are great though Bond doesn't look like any of the bonds at all.
The levels are visually colourfull and can draw you into it.

The music isn't anything original as a lot of the time it is the same duh, duh, duh... duh, duh, duh, etc. Damn annoying theme tune. Sounds are ok, not great.

One of the levels is wherew you drive around a whole city which is fun, the driving levels are fun but the shooting ones are very dodgy and are not as fun.

Multiplyer is fun for a while but there is only one good MP level, there are many different optiions for your MP so it is kind of fun.

Over all this game is average and has an ok replay value, though I recommend you rent before you buy.

GC  Bond games still lacking 3.0

THE GOOD:
*Q-Hook
*Q-Jet
*decent multiplayer

THE BAD:
*very few bots
*controls
*needs more multiplayer characters

SUMMARY:
Bond games still have not been getting that much better. Sadly(or maybe not so), I play Perfect Dark 64(my favorite FPS game) more than Agent Under Fire. It some really cool gadgets(Q-Hook makes you like SpiderMan) and some decent levels, but it is still lacking more than three bots. PD64 had 8, even if you had 4 human controlled players. Also, a few more multiplayer characters could've been nice. Still a decent game to get, but I'd wait for Nightfire or Perfect Dark 0(though you'd have to buy an X-Box if you dont have one).

GC  007: Agent under Fire(for Gamecube) 3.9

THE GOOD:
Single-player mode, guns, cars, cheats

THE BAD:
Multi-player mode, point system, game too short

SUMMARY:
Graphics, graphics, graphics. This game looks great in both single and multi player modes. There is a fair amount of guns in this game, but the ones you get are all you need. You still has to scroll through a list of items but it's a little more organized now: left and right on the control pad scrolls through equipment and up and down scroll through guns. The car missions are fast-paced and seizure-inducing and has a selection of weapons to use.

One of cons is the point-system; you earn points for Accuracy, Ammo Effiency, Health remaining, Enemies Subdued, and Time among other things and if you get enough points, you earn a medal and possibly a new cheat. The single player has 12 missions which makes it kind of short which leaves you to improve your points on the other missions after you beat them all. The multi-player isn't too exciting. Maybe because I've been spoiled on Perfect Dark There are a lot options though. Overall, it's an equal balance of pros and cons, and I recommend to people who liked Perfect Dark and Goldeneye from N64.

THE GOOD:
The selection of guns, the levels, multiplayer, the items, the ability to play computers in multi-player, the controls (you can change them), gold and platinum medals, and the graphics are great.

THE BAD:
Not a lot of stuff is bad about this game.

SUMMARY:
This a great 1-player and multi-player game. I love to play all the missions and get the gold and platinum medals. I also like the multi-player. There is a good variety of levels, a ton of guns, and some cool options. I love to play this with my friends. This is a must-have for a you people who love the shoot-em-ups.

THE GOOD:
I have to admit that I wasn't expecting much from EA in comparision to previous and exceptional Bond on N64. They did a very good job though following many of the previous features of the first Bond as well as adding several more. I would have to say that the best adds are the car chases and the gunner levels where you man a assault rifle and take out cars, helicopters, and any other obstacles that get in your way. There are a few more gadgets along the way as well that add some fun to the missions. I haven't got to play the multiplayer with anyone yet (looks like fun), but you now have other aditions to that as well, such as protect the V.I.P and bots.

THE BAD:
I think they could have put some more time into the controls though. They take a little getting use to, and even now I wish at times that they could be different. Switching through your guns and gadgets can be a pain in the butt, especially when your under fire or your trying a time. They could have spent more time on the guards responses and sounds. They get stale after awhile.

SUMMARY:
Besides that, it's a great game that I find my self playing the single player pretty regularly after buying it a month or so ago. I look forward playing the multiplayer.
