Last year Tomorrow never dies was a total hit & miss because there was no stealh on the game and the missions sucked pretty much since 90% it is just plain shooting.
Now EA Games has made my day, although it would be better on PC or 128 bit console this game put you in the shoes of Bond. There are a lot a varieties, sneaking in a mansion, taking advantage on Bond's style to bypass metal detectors.
Now just because it has 1st person perspective this DOES NOT make the game a true FPS. Why? Bond is a secret agent, in most movies he never just kick a door and blast everything, he always use stealth as much as he can. However when the alarm is ringing now he has no choice but blast everything he can and escape, if he can of course.
For shooter fans, they are free to shoot everything if they want since it is also a great challenge as long as they respect their mission parameters thou. I prefer stealth though.
For multiplayer fans, they will be disapointed since it is not supported. Personnally, I do not miss the multiplayer(unless there would be cooperative mode) of Goldeneye since deathmatch is just used to attract non-bond fans who enjoys to play deathmatch games like Quake III. I feel stupid playing as Bond and trying to kill each other in a small location. The N64 version has multiplayer support so there should be no complaint for N64 owners.
And on console deathmatches are very limited compared to PC since you have many limitations. If the game would be on PC then it would be more appropriate since you could have a map editor etc...
I can't wait for the next Bond game on Playstation 2(since TWINE has been cancelled on PS2)!
