Goldeneye Wii
polycounter lvl 18
Anybody tried it?
I've been playing it the past few days... I have to say, aside from some terrible Wiimote controls (I had to use a Classic pad, wiimotes poor in this oddly?) its bloody good. My jaw actually dropped playing the Severnaya level, I just didn't expect that from the Wii, and seeing it run on Dolphin is even better, its just jaw dropping... Some really good art. The club level is so nice to look at and listen to, and its just a totally fresh, cool look at a Craigified version of Goldeneye... Colour me impressed!
Like I said, my only niggle was the damn wiimote control, which is nothing like Metroid Prime 3 at all, oddly... Its like, it moves too much to one side, all the time. Maybe thats just my setup. If I had to give any other crit (and I'm scraping the barrel here) it would be the misc weapon models are very, very poor blocky messes and were obviously rushed, at least when you compared it to the PPK.
But yeah... I'm stuck on the damn tank level atm, dunno if its a glitch or what but i go under a tunnel, these two choppers come in and I die instantly, same place, every single time.
Anybody else pick it up? I've yet to try the DS version, hoping thats kinda like the original but doubt it.

the lighting in some areas of goldeneye rivals some nextgen stuff ive seen, not in terms of shadow quality but the use of color and atmosphere.
I looooved the nightclub level, the use of dancing card silhouettes was an awesome way around the wiis hardware limitations, and the fact that during one of the gunfights they cranked the music to be 80% of all sound and dropped the sfx down to be muffled was awesomeley cinematic.
Im playing with the wiimote, would probbaly be easier with a controler but im getting used to it. On a side note, I also rented the new 007 Bloodstone last week. it was alright, a pretty nice looking game, the gameplay was kinda meh, but the more I played it the more it oozed bond atmosphere, certainly warrants more than ign's 5/10 they gave it.
Nah it'll probably be awesome.
