Game play:
After playing the game for a while now I am finally starting to get the controls down, which is a fairly hard task to accomplish. The joy stick on the Nintendo 64 is tough to get down, but it is a crucial skill to have in playing 007 against 3 other platers. Also, knowing how to use the weapons correctly with out practice is just as hard as aiming for the first time. The vast amount of weapons offered in the game are effective when you know how to use them, but if not they are to your disadvantage.
While playing the game, even for as long as I had, I never seemed to be able to get into a groove. This is probably because of how frustrating it is to not know what you are doing for such a long time, while all of your friends are really good at the game. I guess this is what I get for asking 3 guys who have all played the game since it came out on the N64.
Game design:
The level design in Goldeneye does a pretty good job of making both a good, large gaming platform, as well as harnessing the James Bond theme. They are mostly dark and plain, built into mazes, where you can sneak up on your opponents and surprise them from behind. However, the game gets pretty confusing when you start out and have to find a gun quickly before anyone sees you. It can get pretty frustrating when you are killed looking for a weapon, then you re-spawn and then are again killed before finding a weapon. Granted, there is a fair amount of artillery hidden through out the level.
This game is giving me some good ideas to add to my own game, which also happens to be a shooter. Although it is not in first person, I want my game to have some kind of variety in weapons. Goldeneye's variety in artillery keeps the players interested in the game, I would think that moving around map for 5 minutes with a single weapon could get pretty boring.

Summary:
Goldeneye 007 is a free for all first person shooter, where you, and up to 3 other people can play in a multi player format. There are several different ways to play the game, including a variety of levels, weapons, time, etc.
Game play:
The emotional state of the game is very intense, in that, once the game has began you are fighting until time runs out. The game's soundtrack is also quiet and mysterious, which also helps to create the intense atmosphere. The characters in the game are for the most part, bad guys taken from Bond movies, but for the most part the multi player aspect of the game is not like the movie.
This is a very entertaining game to play, being a first person shooter, which is one of my favorite styles of games. The weapon selection is pretty broad, so you can play different kinds of games with friends and not really get bored. Some of the weapon genres include rocket launchers, the golden gun, proximity mines, and many others. Because of this selection of fun weapons, the game while playing against friends can get pretty competitive. A large amount of trash talking would typically be used during a normal session of this game between 4 gamers.
