Rate the Game: Week 92

Spent waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much time on this game. I remember memorizing each level and unlocking 007 mode. The last two "hidden" levels of the game are insane on Secret Agent difficulty. Shit.... I think I recall the Facility having to be done in under 2:00 or 2:30, and then Silo having to be done in 1:30 or something similar.

This game changed nearly everything for the console shooter. It got to the point where I'd let my two older brothers have a Golden Gun and I'd have dual DD44 Dostevi's and still win. They played Quake and the lot on PC, so perhaps the analog stick didn't translate well from M&K controls.

Subsequent 007 games were never as good, though they tried. This is one game I would LOVE to get the modern day treatment. I feel like a lot of the objectives they had you do back then would have a TON more depth to them with tech available to today's developers.
