[@subtledemisefox]

The prologue was really good, and Bond being tortured in a North Korean prison during the title sequence was pretty unique and cool, but then the movie went into the self-parody direction, which worked for Diamonds are Forever and all of Moore's career. DaD unfortunately came out right after the entire Austin Powers trilogy, which is the exact reason why the Craig movies went for the grittier, down to Earth approach. tl;dr: the movie has a problem with tone.

Amazing video! I remember achieving platinum rank in every single level from the campaign. Some of the platinum objectives made want to jump off a bridge head first, but after completing them all and unlocking all the cheats, it felt good. In the co-op mode, my brother and I completed all three chapters without losing any lives. In the end it all came down to enemy spawn knowledge, trial and error and John Wick-like accuracy. It may seem like a lot, but we somehow managed to complete it 100%. Despite the frustration in some levels of both single and multiplayer, I absolutely love this game and remember it as the best Bond game I've ever played. Thank you for the video.

[@irkedcs]

The co-op mode was ungodly difficult. Even when you learned the best cover spots to camp, the times when you want to bait out the rocket launchers then fall back, the timed double stealth takedowns, and the times when the auto aim would be off and where to manually adjust for specific enemies...... ALL THAT, and it still comes down to some luck... as seen at 16:00, you are just there to be shot at without any way to fight back until you hit the ground. You might get chewed up or the enemies might miss, but there are many sections in that part of the level like that. My dad and I beat it on Gamecube, I did become a doctor, so theres that XDDDD

[@TheT3rr0rMask]

Tip for combat: Bond only locks onto enemies he's facing, whether or not the camera faces them. If someone starts shooting behind you, or comes from an angle, just turn to where they come from and lock on. Bond sense also let's you lock onto enemies, which is useful if, again, someone's behind you. Something else about Bond sense: if you highlight a weapon, face the camera at an enemy, you can just tap L and Bond locks of with the weapon now pulled out (so you don't have to exit it to switch to the weapon you want). Ik lock on is considered dated at this point but the games designed around it in every way, on top of being able to do refine your aim. If anything it's better they went lock on because enemies will come at you from every corner, and the cover system isn't Gears. When Gman says calling it a shooter doesn't do it justice he's right. The gunplay is fun and challenging, but think of the guns as items Bond uses. It's more an action game vs a shooter (same way we don't call GTA or Deus Ex shooters).

Unlocked all the characters and Arenas.However they didn't go on to become great inventors. As for 18:04 are that is exactly what you get. There is a small section where Bond congratulates you for making it this far. I didn't think anyone could miss it. This game also houses my greatest gaming achievement, the Platinum Gun. I just wanted to see the Museum as well as play with all the guns on infinite ammo. However I did what I thought was impossible. I'm really happy I have footage for the Platinum gun. Very few have seen it. One last thing, it appears you are doing a lot of Bond reviews. If you are interested I am heading up a Goldeneye Mod called "The Spy Who Loved Me 64".

You didn't mention the museum mode you got to explore after beating the game. You could walk around and look at various set pieces and items of the game, like Jaw's teeth and flamethrower! I always loved that.

The hype for this game back then was unreal. There were promos in every magazine, a standalone magazine with a making-of documentary on DVD, and Heidi Klum even advertised it on German TV shows. It truly felt like the 5th Brosnan Bond film.

Friendly reminder that Gmanlives has almost reached the Patreon goal of regularly reviewing games outside of the FPS genre. He's at 98%. Also, I had wondered why this game was called the best of the bunch. Looking at the gameplay and production values, there's a solid argument here. The only bond movies that I've sat down, watched, and remembered were sadly 3 of the Craig movies and maybe that very first one that was a Blaxploitation?(I barely remember it, so I don't count it sometimes)

The only bond game i know with actual licensed weapons

[@CookieRevenge]

i really really loved all the bond games, since they tried to implement so much different stuff like driving and shooting, stealth sections and shooter like areas. there was so much various types of gameplay in these games. also all those hidden areas and secrets, which supports the replayability. i'm especially thinking of games like nightfire or the prequel of it, also tomorrow never dies on psone. god so much good stuff.

For anyone curious, the multiplayer arena mode was an average (at best) take on Power Stone. Featuring single screen pseudo-isometric combat with a completely different combat system to the main game. If I recall it lacked the lock-on targeting of the campaign and was exclusively free aim (i.e. shoot in the direction you're facing). It was a weird distraction if nothing else.

You missed the coolest bit - it was the first game I remember that went to slow motion when you were choosing weapons/gadgets. Not only is this a nice idea for time-limiting how long you could spend switching guns, I used to have it on for ages and just marvel as bullets and rockets leisurely whizzed by.

Great vid man, as always!

5:30 - Using the flamethrower your motorbike has there is super friggin' epic. The goon's bike catches on fire, the truck begins to explode as his flaming bike is crashing into it; all while Bond slides underneath it surrounded by flames in slow-motion. :-)

Holy moly this game is amazing. I put an insane amount of hours into this as a kid, and loved every minute of it. Even when my brother and I would screw up on the coop or get salty at each other in arena, we still had plenty of fun, which really speaks to how polished it is for its time.

[@madquest8]

This game is amazing. Stellar cast and great levels, especially the Rally and the free fall down a cliff. Simply amazing stuff. Would love to see a remaster.

[@Driftking859]

I really enjoyed the difficult missions dotted around, it made the game feel refreshed in places and normally it was at the end of a locations use so ot closed the chapter on say the new Orleans section

Heyoooo my comment is in the video haha. Thanks for dropping a review!

[@henrik1743]

This game was my childhood, really difficult though damn. Since I played this as a 8-10 year old and loved driving games I LOVED the driving scenes in this game and just drove around lmao

[@Calypso694]

i would actually love to see how you edit your videos one day in a casual chill thing. Cuts and inserts are always on point.

[@undeadwarfare828]

A remake or remaster of this would be great.Maybe they could fix the clunky hand to hand combat and the multiplayer.

[@Mavvyd96]

I haven't played this game in 16 years or so and still remember it fondly. Especially the massage mission, the mission Peru and all the Jaws fights. My God, I wish I could play this via backwards compatible on Series X or PS4/5. Such a shame.
