I bought this in the 90's because I loved Goldeneye so much and revisited it in 2026. This is not Goldeneye. It's not a bad game, though.

I'm not sure the gameplay is improved at all by switching from 1st person (Goldeneye) to 3rd person for this game. Honestly, it just made the character pretty unweildy and I ended up getting stuck in corners and at doorways a lot. Turning around was always a hassle. The early levels required some calibrating and lots of frustration with the controls, but by the end of the game I felt like I had found a balance and it wasn't as bothersome. I didn't like the skiing portions (of which there were two, I think) because the shove attack didn't seem to do anything and I kept getting surrounded and beaten up by the skiing thugs that were after me. The best option was just to try to out-run them. There were a few fun secret rooms with cool rewards like extra lives or weapons, there was a bit of stealth that was fun. They had Pierce Brosnan doing voice acting, which was cool, too. Overall, a fun PS1 game that Bond fans will enjoy.
