- Several of the multiplayer modes and control schemes in this game are references to the IP the game is part of.
- Those references being names of films / books, and names of female characters, respectively.
- When talking about the best licenced games, this fifth gen first person shooter is sure to be in the conversation.

- Whether or not this game has a subtitle depends on the region of release. If you remove the subtitle, then it shares its name with two other games in the series.
- This game, along with two others that were first released on the same piece of hardware, is now available to play on modern consoles.
- This was a whip-cracking launch title for a popular handheld. 

43: GoldenEye 007?

39: Castlevania: Circle of the Moon?

You are correct on both my friend.

Multiplayer modes in Goldeneye include You Only Live Twice and The Man With the Golden Gun, whilst the control schemes are named after Bond girls (eg Solitaire, Domino, Honey, Goodnight etc). I sunk so many hours into this game when I was younger (both single player and multiplayer), and it's still fun to play these days.

And yes, Circle of the Moon was simply called Castlevania in PAL regions, meaning it shared its name with the original NES game and the first N64 game. Another game I've spent hours on over the years.
