It's going to be crap.

Just because the first Goldeneye was a great game, Does not mean that Goldeneye two will be good. They are created by two different studios. And EA is not known for it's great Bond games.

Hell, they're obviously hoping the licsense will sell it. They know people will automatically think that because the first one was great, the second one has to be even better.

Players will join ranks with the legendary super-villain Auric Goldfinger.
Woo!

Goldfinger...

A spiders touch.

Such, a cold finger

But don't go in.

Lets not, biggest waste of my money, coming from the same people or at least distant cousins of the same people to make NOLF2 that game let me down on so many levels, take out the fun gagets of NOLF2, the intresting puzzles and small touches and then quadruple the number of enemys, dumb their IQ down by half and make it tough and you have Contract JACK

It turned into a campy sixties clone of Doom without the Demons

The only interesting thing about this, if you gentlemen will notice, is that it is supposed to let you play the VILLAIN in the Bond universe.

And frankly, I'll play through any amount of EA shooter to beat the shit out of some MI agents. :twisted:

True, that does make it worthy as a rental.

Smells like a blatent cash-in to me. I suppose it COULD be good, but from the sound of it EA are going to rush it through development as fast as possible and bank on the Goldeneye name to ensure profit, like just about evey other sequal they've made.

It could be good. EA isn't exactly super at making decent FPS's, but they seemed to sort of get the hang of it with Nightfire, which was a huge improvement over Agent Under Fire which was complete horse shit.

I hear Everything Or Nothing is actually pretty good. Far better than the TND game, and other two Bond games EA have fucked up. Maybe the last few years of their contract will get them level with Rare's godly game.
