But unlike Call of Duty, you may not want to charge in guns a-blazing. Reloaded features a control setup that I found very reminiscent of Activision’s Call of Duty series, which made it very easy to get the hang of. I can’t even begin to tell you how refreshing it is to play a Bond game that invokes such fond memories of its predecessor without being frustratingly hard to control. Most of the characters from the film and original game are there, but have undergone a complete change in appearance. Long gone are the allusions to the Cold War typically found among Bond and his ilk instead, Reloaded is set in the modern world, with terrorism being the main big bad. Instead, Eurocom has updated the story to fit in better with the modern Bond universe as such, you’ll be playing as Daniel Craig who lends his likeness and voice talents to the game. First of all, you won’t find Pierce Brosnan anywhere in this game, despite him playing 007 in the GoldenEye film and being the star of the N64 version. As soon as you start playing, you’ll begin to notice the differences. While some gamers may be disappointed with how different this version is from the original, Reloaded is crafted with reverence for the original game but not trapped by what may now be considered archaic design. Reloaded is essentially a remake of the N64 classic, but with a massive amount of liberty taken with its design, characters, story, and gameplay. Which is why I think that GoldenEye 007: Reloaded is just the update this classic title needed. Sure, we all remember sitting in a basement as teenagers taking on three other friends in a match of “License to Kill,” but if you’ve played it recently you may realize that, although GoldenEye 64 was awesome, it certainly can’t hold a candle to the modern crop of shooters currently on the market. In today’s world of modern first-person action games, the classic Nintendo 64 console just doesn’t hold up. When GoldenEye 64 came out in 1997, it was amazing for its time, but I have yet to see another game show its age the way that classic game does.
