GoldenEye: Rogue Agent infiltrates retail
EA's nefarious plan to put the James Bond-baddie shooter into stores nationwide comes to fruition.
Bad is the new good, apparently. Nearly two months after VU Games released Evil Genius, a PC sim that cast players as a Dr. Evil-esque criminal mastermind, another game that casts players as the villain has been released. Electronic Arts announced today that it has unleashed GoldenEye: Rogue Agent into unsuspecting stores nationwide. Available for all three major consoles, the game will retail for $49.99. A DS version is due out next year.
Before the game was announced, word leaked out that EA was developing a new GoldenEye game. At the time, everyone assumed it would be an update of the N64 GoldenEye, which is still considered one of the best first-person shooters of all time.
Then EA surprised everyone by announcing that GoldenEye: Rogue Agent would indeed be a first-person shooter and feature James Bond, but that players would assume the role of Bond's nemesis, a former 00 agent who crossed over into the international underworld. There, he mingles with classic Bond baddies like Auric Goldfiner, Oddjob, Scaramanga, and Xenia Onatopp in his quest for global domination.
GameSpot's full review of GoldenEye: Rogue Agent will be up later this week. In the meantime, read our recent single-player hands-on for more info on the game.
