On Tuesday, mommy got me a game called Goldeneye 007 for the wii, and I basically crammed myself into it for the entire sick-spell. I have played all modes, from the campaign, split screen multiplayer, as well as the online, I have to say it is the best First Person Shooter, (FPS,) I have ever played in my entire life. It gets the Theo Award for best FPS in 2010. (Keep those awards in mind, I'm not quite done with them.)
So yeah. If you're sick with a game, it should be a good game.
Lets get this over with... THE GRAPHICS ARE STANDARD DEFINITION, DO NOT JUDGE GAMES ON GRAPHICS!!! There. Now I would like to bring you to the second griping point that many Halo Nerdz have griped on. Daniel Craig plays Bond this time around, not Peirce Brasundone. (I don't know his name, so I will make fun of him by changing his last name. Say it slowly, and out loud.) I really do not care for the change, since it does not change gameplay from the, oh-so fantastic masterpiece, Goldeneye on the N64. Also, I hear people like Danny more because he has blue eyes. Huh.
I have played the campaign throughly, and am impressed. The controls are fun, with the addition of the Classic Controller Pro, (Which replicates 360 controls,) and the optional use of the Gamecube controller. My personal favorite is the Wiimote and nunchuck. It supplies story, and an interesting gameplay element, where you sneak around with a silenced pistol and eliminate people tactically and silently, ho ho!
Unfortunately, the guards have a lick of intelligence in this game, so the stealth element is hard to maintain. It also does not help that headshots that are farther from 5 meters from the guy seem to just make him stutter back like some invisible person just shoved him.
So the stealth is kind of gimped, but in the times I don't get seen, and I manage not to get pounded in a shootout with me vs the ENTIRE POPULATION OF RUSSIANS, I do enjoy my silent takedowns, and creeping around like a real Bond! It is rewarding, as you have less guys to eliminate, and fun too! Now that I've shown that the Campaign is a blast, and totally fun, now it's time to move on to the multiplayer.
There are 2 forms of multiplayer; split screen, and online.
Split Screen is where you can, 'Frag dem noobz' within the same room as them. It is very addictive and enjoyable, with it's modifications and game modes, as well as being able to, 'Frag dem noobz,' with, 'dem noobz,' being up to, '4 noobzzzzzzzzzz'. My sister, who hates FPS's really enjoys it. It has a control style where people who haven't even heard of Fps's on the wii can play, and even eliminate those who have. It is well rounded, and fun for the whole family, as there is little learning curve, and everybody enjoy's it.
online is different. Much much different. You have an account, where you can customize, 'Loadouts,' and pwn up to 8 people across the world. You level up, and thus unlock new guns to pwn with, and new gadgets, or perks which help you in the long run.
I actually really enjoyed it, mostly playing team matches, and all that. I found it fun, and quick, with little slowdowns. I thought the connection to be good, and I really had no trouble finding a match, or maintaining one. It was purely fun. I don't care for Wiispeak, so the lack of that really did not matter to me. I did have some complaints though.
Firstly, There should be no such thing as, 'hosts,' online, because when they leave, it disconnects everybody from the game. Seriously not cool. Secondly, I found that getting leveled up was somewhat difficult with the, less then good guns they give you when you customize your loadout. Fortunately, they make pre-made loadouts with a variety of non crappy guns. I also found the AI to be a little too smart, as they could see, AND ATTACK YOU through cover. The cover is destructible, but only to the enemy bullets, which I dislike, because you are always scrambling for cover when you lose it, and sprinting is off. You can only sprint for an alloted amount of time, so when that runs out, you stop, or if you want to stop, you can't. These are minor faults, so you can adapt to them. I seriously had to look for things to complain about.
Thats really all! It's a good game, with a solid campaign and a fun multiplayer! The graphics are nothing to scream at, but they do their job in showing the good guys from the bad guys, and the controls are spot on! It is a buy, and the best FPS on the wii!
So that's how my week was. Sick, but with a good game! How was yours?
