If you need control help check the thread, I've linked some controls from someone else with my own tweaks and then my own ADS control config.
I don't think they aped the best, because for a start COD is far from the best of anything. Secondly, despite there being a similarity of controls and using cover, the level deisgn, AI, pacing, stealth mechanics, even healthbars and a whole host of other stuff make the game play notably differently from COD single player. And not just different, but better. COD is a shooting gallery, Goldeneye plays more like Halo when the action gets heavy and like Goldeneye when you are being stealthy.
Wii and PC sales made up 4% of that total with 360 having 60% and PS3 making up the rest.
And from the looks of things, the 360 is the only version that works. Destructoid gave the PC version a 6.0 and the multiplayer is broken. Then the PS3 version has its own problems:
Black Ops is sub-HD on PS3 and 360 PS3 version has screen tear, 20 FPS lower
And I had some problems with the Wii version freezing and in general with Treyarch's somewhat shoddy treatment of the Wii version.
Oh dear sweet Jesus Christ:
This game has some of the best ADS pointer controls ever, but nah, stick to dual analog.

26th November, new Wii bundle
Kinect costs MS $55 US / £34 to make Is this good value?
Are you asking if it's a good profit? $100 profit sounds good to me.
No, good value to the consumer. For the U.S it's a hundred bucks difference.
For the UK it's an $160 difference.
Anyone caught the IGN COD Black Ops review? They savage the single player.
Wow! Quite a bit of difference. I would say UK gamers might wanna wait. Of course, I'm waiting as well.
And Value added tax is going up from 2011 Jan, so it will cost 2.5% more for the UK from then.
My Goldeneye review is up
You what is kinda frustrating? The visuals and level design is really good here. If EA didn't neuter Dead Space Extraction as an on rails game, it could have been a great 3rd person shooter. Based on Goldeneye it's level design and aiming would have kicked ass too. Eurocom made both.
EDIT:
Also this game has me hankering after some more Bond action. I once rented Nightfire, it was okay but it constantly interupted the gameplay with cutscenes. I will buy that.
Thoughts on other titles I should be looking at?
Rogue Agent?
Everything or Nothing?
Anyway! Oh God. He's back!

i just spent a while on youtube checking out the videos man the death of the sega saturn was a bit sad, i was always displeased that i never had a chance to own one
It's a good, but not great system. I have around 40 games for it, and while there are some gems few hold up. I think it suffered mostly for having to deal with the developer learning curve on what to do with polygonal graphics and the CD.
In this day and age would I reccomend buying one and hunting down games for it? No, just wait for it to hit some form of virtual console.
Deniro and Pesci in Uncharted movie? Ugh. Hope you like ham.

Meh, the main problem isn't that they don't hold up because they do (as many of them were 2D, like SNK, Capcom and Treasure games - not that there aren't 3D games that hold up). The main problem is that there are either sequels or alternatives (Capcom's beat 'em ups for example), with the exception of in house things like Dragon Force, Panzer Dragoon Saga, and the like, some of which are often too costly. Great system.
