I've had such a bad history with Bond games as a kid.
I loved Agent Under Fire but I could never beat the last level.
I loved Nightfire, but I couldn't get past one of the levels in the early halfway point.
I loved Everything or Nothing but I couldn't beat the last level.
Nightfire was the shit, i love putting up bots and playing that gondola level all day. Plus the missions were a blast, finding all the small secrets were fun as hell.
I honestly thought as a kid that it was originally a bond movie they adapted since it was so well made.
God I forgot how catchy that theme is
Those games had such fucking good soundtracks, holy shit. Christopher Lennertz nailed it with the classic Bond soundtrack in From Russia with Love, which he composed right after he was done composing for Medal of Honor, and it shows. But Sean Callery and Steve Tymoschuk incredibly varied and epic soundtrack for Everything or Nothing is criminally underrated.
The ninjas and the level after that in Nightfire can go fuck themselves. I could never get past that as a kid so I used a cheat code to unlock all of the levels.
I'm so fucking mad at myself.
I decided to just watch how you're supposed to beat Agent Under Fire. I always died at the boss fight when you get taken in the office because I tried flying around and always fell because the floor was collapsing.
I had no idea that you were just supposed to stay still because the fucking platform moved. I want to blow my fucking brains out holy shit.
I never beat Drake on the space station because my aiming on console sucked so much.
Agent Under Fire
Nightfire
Everything or Nothing
GoldenEye: Rogue Agent
These games were staples of my childhood, from the awesome solo campaigns or endless hours dicking around on multiplayer with my best mates, these games had everything down. Think I'm gonna try to source Agent Under Fire for PS2, it got lost somewhere long ago. I only recently actually finished Rogue Agent, as I was too scrubly as a kid to get past the high-rise level early on. Surprisingly decent game, but I can understand why people didn't like it as much
Also, Everything or Nothing's graphics in 2004 were insane, did anyone else think so? Like I popped it in a few months ago to show my fiance how sick it was, and it held up super super well
Everyone Or Nothing as aged pretty well all things considered, the models aged as well as HL2 in my opinion being reasonably well textured and made that, yes they're using lower quality textures but the shaders and modelling itself is human accurate.
Goldeneye was great, but World is not Enough was a better game, simply because of the bot support. Spent hours playing team deathmatch and shit with bots. Much better than friends who choose Oddjob
Even if it was inferior to the Gamecube version, I enjoyed the PC version a lot in both it's singleplayer and multiplayer, but that was many years ago, not sure how I'd feel playing it today.
Played most Bond games but man, everything or nothing was a genuinely awesome game.
Dear god, I made the biggest mistake yesterday. I saw this video in my feed and went "Oh yea, that game was my life when I was 12, I'm going to go download it!".
I wish I had known the PC version was garbage. It took me about three levels of mediocre gameplay before I figured out this is probably a shitty port and gave up on it. It's awful, I keep seeing hints of the greatness I played as a kid but it's like it's taunting me.
I should have watched the video and found out the PC port is cancer.
shout outs to the GBA line of Sims games that were RPGs with Sim elements which were really great and still playable to this day.
I spent so much time playing Skyrail with the weapons set to random and mini helicopters turned on. If you got trip mines, the little inn at the bottom of the hill became a fucking laser maze of death, I'd spend half the map just building delicate little grid systems that would practically crash the game once some poor bastard set them off.
Few moments were as tense as when you realize your friend has the Sentinel, only for you to glance at their screen and see a red HUD rapidly advancing on your playermodel's anus.
Such a good fucking game, honestly might buy it on Gamecube just so I can play 4-player when the lads are over. I only ever had it on PS2, so it was a bit limited unless I was at a friend's house.
