#46 - Goldeneye 007 (N64)

I never got to play the game until a few years ago, and I was shocked at how well it held up. I kept hearing about how it aged poorly, but that's not 100% true. The controls take some adjustment, but they're rather fluid and they don't interfere with your chances at survival. Of course, this is largely due to the forgiving autoaim. The missions are still largely fun and the multiplayer (despite having rather basic-seeming maps) doesn't disappoint either. Honestly. I consider Goldeneye 007 to be more fun than most of the dual analog or PC-based shooters I've ever played. And that surprises me.

I agree with you that the two Rare FPS on the N64 still hold up quite well.  Sure, like all early 3D games, the graphics are pretty rough, but the gameplay!  I still prefer the mission based levels over what we get right now.  Which is basically just walk forward and kill everything in your path.
