The single deal-breaking issue with the original Goldeneye on N64 was the game’s control scheme.
Rare has had an astonishing journey since being founded in 1985. But of the 125 titles released to date, which are the 7 best Rare games?
As Microsoft takes popular Xbox exclusives to other consoles, James Bond FPS Goldeneye 007 should get similar treatment on PS5.
Maybe it is time to just let Goldeneye go. People keep e-begging for this game and it came back in various iterations; remastered and original and in the end it was just meh. The game was a product of its time like Perfect Dark and Timesplitters.
Want to know what the best selling N64 games of all time are? Here's the top ten list, with many fan favourites and a couple of surprises.
Never understood what 64 meant. Can anyone enlighten me? All I know is my neighborhood friends and I used to play the crap out of it. Favorite games were Cool Boarders, Mario kart 64, WCW vs NWO just to name a few. Man life was simple and good.
It was ok for the time, the only way you'd get superior controls is by playing on PC with a mouse, the same still stands today though. I think Goldeneye and Perfect Dark were the last games i enjoyed before i didn't really enjoy playing any FPS with a controller due to getting used to my PC controls.
Never cared for the original N64 controller. Im glad this game has more modern control scheme (on XB) as it makes it feel more natural.
1.2 Solitaire for the win!

It’s amazing how these old games were setup. I never noticed this when I originally played around 25 years ago… but this is a game where you play each level multiple times to understand the layout, objectives, enemies, etc. I’m on the 6th level after 6 hours trying to complete everything on 00 Agent difficulty.
My buddy came over excited to play and he just bitched about the controls. Yes, the are not tight. It’s something you learn as you go. I aim when someone is far away otherwise shoot from the hip (for the semi-auto aim). It’s different, not easy to pickup, but definitely fun. He and I beat 2 levels taking turns
