This game is notorious. Not just because of its fame and legacy, but because of something else too. Because people always get in the way. Natalya, Boris, 006 even though you know he's actually the bad guy because you've already seen the movie, and of course the scientists. All of them always manage to get in the way of your bullets, and then they die and then your mission failed. The scientists are the worst, because they also have the habit of standing near machinery that's blows up pretty easy. But all that doesn't matter in the slightest, because 'GoldenEye 007' is just one mountain of charm.

GoldenEye, is a labour of love, and you can see it in everything from how it came to be, how the designers added things they wanted on the fly like the multiplayer component and last but not least how they used their own faces as the faces of the enemies. The game also has a plethora of unlockables they call cheat codes. They are hardly advantageous to the player, but cheat codes they are. My parent always made me use the paintball mode because that looked less violent, but the most famous one was the so-called DK mode, which gave all the NPC's large heads and an ape-like stature. This was funny to look at, but sadly, also made it even easier for the scientists to get in the way.
