Outstanding! 9.0

RatingDescription
out of 10 Click here for ratings guide
9.5 Presentation
Brilliant acting and motion capturing, and a fantastic retelling of a familiar Bond story. Boot up the original N64 game if you're a purist: this is for people who want something new.
8.5 Graphics
The game looks great with awesome atmosphere, but watch out for the drop in framerate during the hectic fights.
9.0 Sound
Excellent soundtrack even if it's not as memorable as the classic tunes. Voice acting is professional and the gunfire top-notch.
9.0 Gameplay
The game lifts its foundation from other successful first person shooters. It's excellent alone or with friends.
9.0 Lasting Appeal
The single-player can be taken care of in a few hours -- with unlockable difficulties. You'll be playing this one even longer thanks to off- and online multiplayer.
9.0

Around the Network

Well, that's nice. The Wii finally has a good exclusive FPS. Not sure why Activision decided to release it so close to Black Ops though.



Color me surprised that this isn't a cash in...



This confirms it. I am buying this game in December.



Awesome!  I'm glad that this game received a good score.  I didn't play the original but I plan on buying this game this week.



Around the Network

Wont be getting this game, but great score for people who are looking forward to it. I hope though that it will sell well.



Good score

I loved the first one but I am glad Daniel Craig is the new bond.  



I'm surprised this got a 9.  I might just get it this week.

That said, I can't wait to see more reviews.



Pixel Art can be fun.

I still dont think it will sell well :/



Yeah i know my spelling sucks but im dysgraphic so live with it :3

I'm guessing they figured different appeal, in the sense of Goldeneye is to Black Ops as NSMBWii is to Galaxy, very similar, but ultimately for somewhat different types of gamers (though there are gamers that would buy all four)

 

I'm not sure how to describe it, but the base appeal is different, and given that they're actually promoting Goldeneye, the Wii version of Black Ops at least is no competition for it, given that there's still barely any confirmation that it exists



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
