GoldenEye 007 is a game that only feels good when you are just running and gunning. The camera is simply too cumbersome to control when trying to do anything more complicated. Seriously, whoever made the segment where you have to use your watch laser to get out of the train should go to jail. I can respect this game for introducing varied objectives and gameplay in a shooter game, but it's unfortunately a bit miserable to actually play almost three decades later. At least the music is great.

I tried the multiplayer with my siblings, and we still had a good amount of fun with it. I'm sure it was especially revolutionary at the time.

On a final note, it feels unfair to complain about a James Bond game being a James Bond game, but I can't pretend like misogyny makes my playing experience better...
