In fact, we can say with a clear conscience that Goldeneye 007 is the best single-player first-person game on any system.” - 9.7/10 - IGN (26th Aug 1997) “Upon first seeing GoldenEye at the E3 conven�on, I was underwhelmed. I mean, here was yet another first-person shooter, with the only features se�ng it apart being the neat-looking sniper rifle and the fact that it was based on a movie that just about everyone had forgo�en about. I couldn't have been more wrong. GoldenEye not only lives up to the \"quality, not quan�ty\" mantra that Nintendo con�nues to tout, it surpasses it. The sheer joy experienced by pu�ng a bullet in some Russian's head with the sniper rifle, from 200 yards, never gets old, and the countless mission objec�ves spread across 12 different environments and three difficulty levels ensure that the game has the staying power of - dare I say it - Mario 64” - Game Spot (19th Aug 1997) 269

Manual 007: Tomorrow Never Dies 1999 | Electronic Arts / Black Ops Entertainment Picture the scene, I like everyone was s�ll riding high on the thrill that was GoldenEye on the N64. But we had by 1999, done all it had to show and were excited to see the next James Bond video game. Then we see a video promo with Desmond Llewelyn playing Q, telling us this new James Bond game soon to be released. But then it’s saying PlaySta�on only. My heart sank, I had a Sega Saturn and an N64, but no PlaySta�on (as my flatmate owned that). It looked different being in the third person, but it s�ll looked interes�ng. Walkthrough guide Promotional The iconic parachute from The CD of the PlaySta�on game. video starring the film is there. Ah! So much an�cipa�on was had Desmond Lewelyn for this game. as Q Game Advert (UK) 284 The opening level had nice missions, but the Level Two sees Bond skiing. This is a nice, short controls take some effort to get used to. sec�on and well done, mixing up the gameplay.

007: Tomorrow Never Dies So, on its release, we rented the game, excited to get another round of Bond. It started promising, with the CD music kicking in of the famous theme and an exci�ng collec�on of some of the scenes in the game. Like the Promo had promised, we knew we would be in for an epic adventure. Then we started to play it, and our enthusiasm waned. The game controls felt so awkward, it all ran so jankily, and o�en you would be shot and killed without even realising whom or from where had killed you. It was certainly no GoldenEye beater that was for sure. It’s nice of the these Special Ops to slowly climb But we carried on playing and went right the way through the down the rope, to be easily taken out. game. As we got more used to the controls, we did find some fun with it, but it wasn’t the follow up for Bond we all had hoped for. Playing it again today and looking more objec�vely at it (instead of comparing it to another game), and there is much to have fun with here. Up-scaled on an emulator like Duck Sta�on, and it starts to look a lot nicer, and whilst the controls are s�ll tough to handle, it s�ll worth a play through. Especially as there is some nice ideas here, even if o�en poorly implemented. Some of the levels are really quite pre�y. The game does its best, but limited to not one of the best Bond films, leads to some rather dull loca�ons. 285 The auto targe�ng works quite well in the game, making shootouts quite fun.

007: Tomorrow Never Dies But the missions here have some fun, you get to drive and pilot vehicles. Also, it has some nice skiing sec�ons in the game to break up the ac�on. It also makes full use of the CD format, with good speech and voice ac�ng and all the flashy produc�on values that Electronic Arts always bring to the table. Made by Black Ops Entertainment (no not Call of Duty, but the team behind games like Black Dawn, Terminator 3 :Rise Against the Machines and Jaws : Ul�mate Predator), the game would be met with middling reviews, with most perhaps unfairly comparing it to GoldenEye. The car driving sec�on is tough to control, but doesn’t outstay its welcome. The night �me level, using night vision sights to Pilo�ng the Harrier jet and blowing stuff up, is definitely take out the enemies is just so cool. a highlight in the game. 286 Ooh, lots of Boom Boom s�cks… Me want! The sniping here is more accurately represented, but doesn’t feel As sa�sfying as sniping in GoldenEye for some reason.

007: Tomorrow Never Dies As it stands, the game is OK, a long way from perfect. But go into it with an open mind and you may have some fun. Even if it’s to enjoy the many ideas that were expanded and improved upon in later James Bond ou�ngs by EA. Overall, once I stopped looking at its flaws, and comparing it to other be�er James Bond games. I went on to have quite a bit of fun with this game. Given that you can pick the game up for pennies, it is certainly worth having a quick go. My advice, s�ck some cheats on, then have a few hours of fun. But only do so a�er playing some of the EA be�er efforts. Blowing things up with a bazooka never gets old. This level was a lot of fun.

No ma�er how much you try to separate the two games, and review them individually, it's a lost cause. GoldenEye is s�ll so good, two years later.

007: Tomorrow Never Dies Did YOU KNOW? The game was the first Bond game to feature a full Bond theme tune, with the films theme tune by Sheryl Crow. The original preview of the game was adver�sed with Desmond Llewelyn reprising his role as Q. In the sec�ons he showed in the video a game called, “Tomorrow Never Dies : The Mission Con�nues”. However, the final game released, instead followed the movie closely and the sec�ons such as scuba diving and first person shoo�ng sec�ons shown never appeared. It also looked a lot more fun in the driving sec�on than what we actually got. Desmond Llewelyn plays a scuba diving It certainly would have been an interes�ng sec�on that never appeared in the final game. What If? Had we had got the game as ini�ally envisaged. In some old websites (long since shut down now), there was a developer diary for the game. A small excerpt of this, when asked how the 2-year development cycle had gone? to Director William Bo�. It also showed some first person shoo�ng \"A typical day eleven months ago - we sec�on, that also never appeared. were just ge�ng started with the actual game design. We were evalua�ng where The car sec�ons looked at bit more involved we could place different technologies originally in the promo�on as well. within the various levels we had designed. And then we came up with some new designs that matched the film. We wanted to include a snowy environment somewhere in the game and realized the Arms Bazaar, which was to be the opening level of the game, would be a perfect match. Obviously about a year ago things were much more open, there's a lot of things up in the air.” 292

It also includes lots of modes of games to play, standard ones, like capture the flag, man with the golden gun and new ones such as an Uplink. Here you must find three satellites which you must takeover, whilst you own them, you will start racking up points, with the one at the end of the game with the most points being the winner. Overall, this is a fab game, that sadly in December 2000 (even a�er Perfect Dark) it was just too late on the N64 to make an impact, combined with it being a weak Bond film ou�ng. But the big ques�on to many will be… Is this game a GoldenEye beater? The answer is objec�vely in many ways yes. Of course, nostalgia means I will always prefer GoldenEye, but this game is a hidden gem and a worthy successor to GoldenEye that needs to be played by more. There are loads of mul�player modes in the game. One of my favourites is the game Uplink. 296 The electrocu�on watch gadget, is a fun way Each level is so different and varied.
