Goldeneye SP vs MP impressions

After watching all the videos released on Goldeneye Wii, I noticed that I am very impressed with the SP and the MP I think looks promising, but I am less impressed then I was with the MP. I am hoping my concerns are dashed when the game launches. What do you guys think, so far? Is the MP and SP meeting your expectations judging by the videos released?

both of them are lookin good to me

Maybe I will change my mind when I play the multi, but does the running kind of bother anyone else? Also I hope the controls can be more customized with the bounding box and such. I like them really tight (advanced).

The single player will be good... I hope

Both look quite decent, especially compared to other Wii FPS offerings. I wouldn't expect either of them to be mind-blowing, but at the same time you'll likely get your money's worth out of this game.

There is a new trailer up on IGN "Launch Trailer", and it does indeed get me hyped for the game :P. I think reading reviews that will hopefully be out soon, will give us all a good idea what we are getting here. I like the maps and ideas of MP but I hope playing it is actually fun. I will have to wait and see.

I think the running looks perfectly fine. Great even It's becoma a staple for FPSs lately but I love it. I think it will work perfectly for Goldeneye's MP matches.

I think the game as a whole looks absolutely fantastic. People's initial complaints came from Activivsion's poor choice of showing only the Split-Screen matches for several months, making the graphics look weak. But now the online and campaign stuff is really starting to shine. One of my most hyped games all year!

Haha I like running too, I just thought it seemed a bit odd, but the more I watch these vids, the more I think it looks pretty great. I am loving some of the modes, and Hero looks really fun. Lets hope this game can deliver with the overall experience and be something to remember....or at least a solid start to FPS bond games on the Wii/nextgen Wii and even better, the 3DS :).

I am more interested in the singleplayer but I am sure it will be short. That is too bad. The original game took awhile to beat on SP on all difficulties plus getting the cheats. I have a hardwire connection so I cannot play online. Do they even still sell those adaptors?

....the nintendo wifi dongles? You can just buy a router, but yes I think they do. Also, the game has lan which is awesome. The SP in this I am guessing will be about as long as the N64 one, and it does have multiple difficulty levels, but IDK if it has any cheats or unlockables through SP. I thought you could unlock something, I am not sure what though.

I think both look good but the game takes a serious hit in 4 player multiplayer though. Online looks good though and I like the few modes we've seen so far. I hope there are more. I'm looking forward to the single player due to the revamped story. That objectives are added depending on the difficulty level should make things interesting. Do many games do this now?

I just wish I knew if the modifiers were included in the random online matching with voting for different ones the way you seem to be able to vote on maps. Also if any patching was in and how well hacking will be addressed.

First time I've seen those MP videos and I just have to ask: Why would they add a Golden Gun mode? That mode was fun because in the 64 game it took significant amounts of hits to bring someone down. With GE Wii it only take 3 shots to bring someone down anyway so whats the point?Arc2012

I don't have expectations for this game.

This game is weird and mishandled everywhere from production to development.

I am glad they have it, but I do agree to an extent. I hope you can adjust your life in lan or something. IDK maybe its just me, but it looks like the health is more CoD like, rather then Goldeneye, Halo, Timesplitters, and perfect Dark. We will have to see though :P.

Provided that you can aim with it, that is.

That is really good to know, but that doesnt mean the amount of health is higher then when its regen. Not saying its necessarily a bad thing, but thats kind of what games like Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, and Halo are based on, unrealistic damageing :P.

Huh, never heard of this. I do know that in SP the hardest mode is classic style.

They both look equal.

[QUOTE="NeoStar9"]

[QUOTE="meetroid8"] That is only in single player, correct? Or is there some sort "Classic" mode in the multiplayer?NaveedLife

The game looks good.. but there is no way I'd pay $50 for it. Is this game not the same exact thing as the N64 game? Why would I pay $50 for that? I'll MAYBE buy this when it hit's $30 or $20 on clearance. Seems like another ripoff releasing some old stuff. Donkey Kong Country..Goldeneye, Mario Allstars for $130...GTFO of hereSonny360Elite

Are you just trolling DKCR? DKCR is going to blow your mind man! I cannot wait for it, and if I have to pick between that or Goldeneye, it will indeed be that.

No I'm not trolling anything I just find it ridiculous that all they can offer is some overpriced ripoffs. My Wii has sat in the box for months. Donkey Kong is a true remake, right? I saw videos and it looked like the exact same thing with some added animations. It looks real good though, worth $30 imo. It will be a fun game for sureSonny360Elite

*facepalm*

anyway....lol

From what I have seen the game looks awesome. I don't see how it is a ripoff or anything. I like that they are taking a new spin on the game. It's not a remake. They are retelling the story. The levels are totally different. I don't understand the hate really. People complain about not getting "core" games but when games finally come about people are going to complain. All the previews for this game said it was great. It could still suck, but I don't think so. It might not be "AAA" but it seems worth getting. People are finding reasons not to like this game. It is stupid to find reasons not to like a game.
