Full Gameinformer Goldeneye review up

http://gameinformer.com/games/goldeneye_007/b/wii/archive/2010/11/02/goldeneye-007-review.aspx

Playing with the Wii remote and nunchuk feels tighter than The Conduit’s touchy controls, but you’ll want to go the dual-analog stick route with the Classic Controller Pro. While using a Wii peripheral that emulates the average controller (Classic controller) makes sprinting, meleeing, and ironsight aiming easier, nothing saves you from the ridiculous blur effect that happens with every reload.

Whart the furrrrrck? Conduit has some of the best FPS controls consoles have ever seen and "you'll want to go the dual analog stick route."?

"Local four-player splitscreen is a blurry mess that can’t even be salvaged by good friends and a high definition TV. "

Can't be saved by an HDTV? Duuuuude the HDTV scaling is causing the bluriness.

Such a bad review.

If you buy their loyaty shopper card (for $20 or so) you get a 12 month subscription.  They are owned by the same company.

Huh, you learn something every day. Is EGM still going?

Kind of. The original publisher bought the rights from the assholes that bought 1up. It's pricey and in limited distribution, but it's a high quality magazine.  They have a cool online edition that is maximized for pad-like devices, but you can get the free version and check it out on your PC.  It's cool, but a lof of hassle ('cause it's a whole new paradigm in magazine publishing).

Next to Phantom Hourglass you mean.

Next to Wind Waker you mean.

Reading the A - Gaming Nexus Goldeneye review, you can wipe out the guards like in Splinter Cell and go back into stealth mode. It's a good 5 page review with new screens too.

Gaming Nexus said:

GoldenEye is, for lack of a better word, a much “smarter” FPS than either of the Modern Warfare’s. It takes the loosely cover-based action from CoD and adds some desperately needed cover mechanics, like the ability to pop and lean out of cover for quick shots, and the fact that protective structures are quickly destroyed under sustained fire. Simply put, GoldenEye takes a design that has become rote and stale and adds the features that it’s really needed for a couple years now, creating a more organic and complete experience. Sledgehammer Games and Treyarch would do well to follow Eurocom’s lead in the future CoD titles.

GoldenEye takes the best stealth elements from more frustrating games like Metal Gear Solid and somehow seamlessly mixes them with the typically mindless action of CoD, tweaked and refining it all into a dynamic experience that is truly the thinking man’s FPS.

The faster paced plot does hit on all the right events though, and you get to see some amazingly redone moments and locations. Everything has been scaled up and the events in the film seem like a small skirmish in comparison. Just don’t go in expecting to get the same levels and events even remotely similar to how they looked before. Expect bigger and more epic and you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Eurocom and Feirstein have produced a long, meaty campaign with plenty of story, superbly built levels and better, more balanced gameplay than any of the recent CoD games.

The drastic gameplay changes also mean a drastically modernized multiplayer, but once you start playing you’ll find it just as compelling and addictive as the N64 game that hooked you 13 years ago, if not more so.

The new GoldenEye somehow recaptures that impossible-to-put-down quality of the N64 original, even with significantly different and modernized gameplay. I have no idea how Eurocom managed to bottle that same feverish addiction with a game that plays so differently, but it must have taken a hell of a lot of play testing.

In fact GoldenEye’s default expert controls actually trump Conduit’s for precision and accessibility, no mean feat as that game has been the gold standard in Wii FPS controls for over a year.

In terms of production values and extras, GoldenEye is off the charts. It’s one of the Wii’s highest profile 3rd party releases in years and it shows. You don’t see any of Conduit’s flashy shader effects but in every other respect Eurocom has maxed out the Wii’s graphical abilities. The levels are gorgeously constructed, even the drab, dingy ones, and most contain impressive weather effects. Character and gun models are expertly animated, and the facial expressions are particularly uncanny—if you thought Eurocom’s work on Dead Space Extraction last year was good, wait until you see GoldenEye in motion.

At a point when the Wii’s life is winding down, Eurocom has delivered one of the console’s defining experiences. When I heard they were remaking my favorite game of all time and changing so much in the process, I was skeptical and a little bitter. It turns out that crafting a whole new GoldenEye from the ground up was the only option—the only way to do the original justice and the only way to create a compelling modern game. The new GoldenEye is one of those gaming events that you just can’t afford to pass up. No matter what console allegiance you swear by or what you think of the Wii, like Red Steel 2 and Mario Galaxy GoldenEye is a game you just have to play. So dust off those Wii remotes and prepare to start the addiction all over again. GoldenEye is back.

Instead of standing in the original GoldenEye's shadow, Eurocom has created a brand new game that is just as compelling and addictive as the original. An expertly produced story mode and an engrossing multiplayer make the new GoldenEye one of the best experiences on any console this holiday. Round up your friends and get ready to get hooked all over again, GoldenEye 007 is back.

You can kill me, but you can't stop the superiority of cell shaded Zelda's.
