Game
Synopsis:
GoldenEye closely follows the action
depicted in the
film of the same name. You control Bond through twelve
different
levels of action, all from the first person perspective popularized by
Doom. This game was (is) tremendously popular due to it's
incredible graphics, perfectly mixed background music, and faith to the
subject matter. The single player mode is great fun, but
cannot
compare to the hours of time one can spend on the multiplayer mode.
