I remember now that what made Goldeneye was the mutliplayer mode. The single player mode is still sick, but (its emarassing to say) its harder than I remember.
It's cool that some of the levels try to emphasize covertness, but you are almost always discovered anyways, so I see no point in trying to build up the suspense. I think the weapon of choice that will have you blasting your way through the levels is the gun that looks like a giant pencil. What I remember about this game doing a good job on was the excellent design execution of the objects that you need to use.
Magnet attract watches, or using a laser from your watch still entertains me when you are using it on an evil Russian.
Lastly, their sound department did an amazing job, not only the sound effects, which include footsteps, or glass breaking, but also the music lives up to the Bond,...James Bond.

Providence looked kindly upon me when I played this game for the first time in 7+ years, because I immediately was able to play with 2 other people. The trash talking that is perpetuated is priceless, especially when a person gets a luck hit, or are just plained skilled like me! It's funny how our favorite level was Stack, the one that looks like an empty warehouse an has green and silver walls. It is the easiest one to roam around in, and the easiest to memorize the paths in the level. When playing, the N64 controller seemed to me to be a little difficult, especially mastering the joystick. It is not as smooth as a PS2 controller or an Xbox controller. If you start off with multiplayer, I owuld recommend starting off with pistols as the weapon choice so that you can master the controls, and learn how to master strafing. Once you are able to move properly, it will defintely make you a better player, because then you will be able to aim properly too. Once you get bored then you can start having some fun! My favorite is the under appreciated Golden Gun setting; one hit kills!
