has nothing to do with the goldeneye game/movie!!

I thought it was going to be like the reverse side of the Goldeneye movie/game. But I was wrong. What it is is that you are an MI:6 agent that is "directly responsible" for Bonds death in a training simulation and kicked out. You then go and work for Goldfinger and are given throughout the game different eye enhancments. Your eye that gets them is indeed golden. Hence the game name. My opinion is that they didnt think people would go for it so they decided to call it Goldeneye. But you run into different characters from the older Sean Connery movies such as Dr.No, Pussy Galore, Oddjob, and Xenia Onnotop (who is actually from the goldeneye movie). The eye enhancments are x-ray vision, personal shield, hacker, and some force to throw enemies around. There are alot of cool things you can do besides run around shooting people. You can use your hack enhancment to short circuit enemy weapons, or activate traps to kill enemies. you can beat up someone and use them as a shield. You get skill points such as headshots, intimidation (when you scare someone so bad that they take one of there comrades and use them as a body shield), traps and so on. Once you get over that its a game in its own it actually is alot of fun. Small learning curve and cool levels and bosses.
