Goldeneye 007: Reloaded (Xbox 360, PS3) Preview
Posted by John De Large on 11.01.2011
Goldeneye 007: Reloaded is available this week, but does it look to be worth getting! 411's John de Large takes a look at the game just before it hits shelves with his full preview!
At this years San Diego Comic-Con, Activision showed off GoldenEye 007: Reloaded, a remastered version of the Wii game for the Xbox 360 and PS3 (complete with PlayStation Move compatibility and Sharpshooter support).
Fast forward to the New York Comic Con, where I made my way over to Activision's booth where a gigantic TV screen and an Xbox 360 were set up. 3 other gentlemen were playing Goldeneye 007: Reloaded, which I had previously thought to be a Wii only game. Before I could ask for some hands on time, I was picked out of a crowd to fill the 4th slot. Things worked out nicely didn't they?
We played some Man With The Golden Gun mode and as I ran around capping other players and getting capped myself, I asked about Reloaded's multiplayer mode. Multiplayer features support for up to 16 players (only one local player is allowed at a time) on 14 different multiplayer maps with nine different game modes to choose from. Just like the original Goldeneye, players can choose Bond, Trevelyan, Jaws and Oddjob (who comes with a throwable hat that results in an instant kill). Factor in experience points and unlockable rewards and you've got a multiplayer mode with some depth.
Other changes to the game include:
A brand new game engine featuring buttery high-definition graphics
Xbox 360 Unlockable Achievements and PlayStation 3 trophies
New single player mode: Mi6 OPS Missions (similar to Spec Ops missions, I presume?)
New mutliplayer maps
If you're considering picking up Reloaded for thePlayStation 3, you can grab the "GoldenEye 007: Reloaded Double 'O' Edition," bundle, featuring a Blu-Ray copy of the game, PlayStation Move controllers, a PlayStation Eye Camera, the Sharpshooter and an additional character, Hugo Drax. Goldeneye 007: Reloaded should already be available in stores with a release date of November 1, 2011 in North America -- but if you're reading this from Europe, you'll have to wait until November 4, 2011 to go hands on with the game.
This game will only be worth getting if they improve the AI. What's the point of having stealth sections if the bad guys can see you through concrete walls, but they can't see you if you run right in front of them? If it's just a HD upgrade of the severely flawed Wii game, it's an instant no-buy for me.

Is this game going to be worth getting? No. If it is anywhere near as bad as the Wii version, it will be the worst PS3 game ever

The graphics are barely better than the Wii version.

I was given the wii version and played for about 5 minutes before giving up in disgust.

it was an OK wii game. it's not flat out as horrible as some describe. It just completely fell short of expectations.

It is EXACTLY as horrible as people described

Also, playing the demo straight after watching the new Mission Impossible showed me just how stupid this game really is. They drive through a Russian checkpoint with no disguises, no fake IDs or papers, no attempt whatsoever to not draw attention to themselves. Isn't this a spy game? Spies don't usually go in expecting a shootout as their Plan A. It's dumbed down for the COD audience.
