I have to admit, from what I heard, and from experiencing it myself in the demo, I did not have high expectations of this game. From all the memories of Goldeneye 007 on the N64 (although not even Goldeneye could live up to its memories), anything short of breathtaking would be a disappointment. This is Rare we are talking about.

But...

Multiplayer is fun, even co-op. Which is funny because the first few missions (5 or so) in the single player campaign felt uninspiring. I guess multiplayer fixes everything. The best mode so far is capture the flag, with rocket launcher. There was one round of deathmatch where a friend and I were camping opposite sides of the map both with rocket launchers. We were in tunnels overlooking the main battlefield picking off 'noobs'. Since we were on the same Xbox we both had the same name (except second player has a "(1)" next to their name) and we could hear people getting pissed at the both of us, thinking we were the same person. Good times. I recommend this game only for Live subscribers.
