Pros:
- XP level system.
- Customize weapon attachments to your guns.
- Training mods (special gadgets/perks) to make the game easier for you.
- Some vehicle missions which change up the pace of gameplay
- Music match the flow of gameplay.
- MI6 missions are back.
Cons:
- AI is horrid. All that is scary about the enemies is that there are a lot of them and they seem to have extraordinary good aim. I have seen them run into walls.
- Boss fights are basically just fistfights which are too easy, boring, and repetitive.
- There is no storyline. If you haven't watched previous James Bond movie, you are left clueless with what is going on.
- Skyfall DLC was the weakest mission of the game and too short. And they made us wait for a boring mission to download too.
- Sometimes the game doesn't tell you what you need to do so you are left wandering around figuring out what to do. This might result in multiple reloadings.
- Loading time too long.
- Graphics have not changed since Goldeneye Reloaded. It was average back then, poor now. It's like graphics between the PS2/PS3 era.
- Voice acting is bad. Daniel Craig's voice is not even in the game.
- Poor stealth mechanics. You can't even hide the bodies of enemies you taken out so enemies will always find them them and be alerted of your presence. This problem is compounded by the mandatory stealth areas which makes them harder than they should be.
- Boring, repetitive puzzles.
- Numerous game glitches.
Multiplayer:
Pros:
- More variety of weapons and gadgets.
- Weapons have more kick to them
- Finally have host migration, party system, and team balance.
Cons:
- Maps are few and for the most part are boring compared to Goldeneye Reloaded.
- Grenades were weak in Goldeneye Reloaded. Now they are a little bit too strong.
- Shotguns are still overpowered as they were in the previous game.
- The MJR (RPG) is back in the game. It still puzzles me why they still put this weapon in the game since It takes the fun and skills out of the game.
- The Milltek is added in the game. It is a grenade launcher that has 6 rounds in the chamber. One shot is usually enough to kill a person or two. It is basically a noob tube on steroids. It takes the fun and skills out of the game.
- No new game modes. The same game modes are back, but some with different names.
- The game lobby has been reduced from 16 players to 12 players. I don't know about most people, but I like having more players in a game.
Final opinion:
The single player is forgettable and worst than Goldeneye Reloaded. The multiplayer is improved from the previous game, but is still lacking when compared to other similar games out there. This game is not worth the full $60 purchase. There are better games out there worth your money and playing time.
