GoldenEye 007 is a super popular first-person shooter video game for the Nintendo 64 console. It came out in 1997. The game's story is based on the 1995 movie GoldenEye. In the game, you play as James Bond, a famous secret agent known as Agent 007.
This game lets you see the action through Bond's eyes, making it a "first-person shooter." It was one of the first games to have a really fun multiplayer mode where friends could play together. Many people loved GoldenEye 007 and still say it's one of the best video games ever made!
Later, in 2010, a new version of the game was released for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS. However, this newer game wasn't as popular as the original.
Exploring the Levels
The game has 20 different levels, which are grouped into 9 main missions. Some missions have just one level, while others have several. There are also 2 extra bonus missions you can unlock!
Here's a look at some of Bond's exciting missions:
