I didn't expect to like Goldeneye at all when I first saw it but I turned out to be very wrong. It's the first shooter or "violent game" that I can really remember liking. Most of the levels in it are such classics and so memorable from the Dam, to Facility, to Bunker, to the Train and right on through to the Cradle. The multiplayer was another unexpectedly brilliant aspect of the game and I spent uncountable hours playing it with various different people. The time-trial cheats were a stroke of genius too (Facility on OO especially stands out) as were the objective-changing difficulty levels. Try as I might I couldn't get past jungle on OO Agent but after seeing Alan doing Aztec in OO that may have been for the best. The single most memorable thing about this game of course is watching the ever-bumbling Natalya ruin your efforts by dying again and again and again..
