Agent 64: Spies Never Die

Awesome game, big recommend.

No oddjob but that's okay. Proximity mines only is still just as crazy as it ever was.

If you liked GoldenEye you will probably like this game as well. The campaign tries to be as James Bond as it can be, even with a wacky scenario at the end. Story is dumb fun, as it shoult be, don't expect anything you remember though. Objectives could be more diverse but are overall fine. Gunplay is as you expect very retro by design, after some getting used to it is still very fun. The graphics are very N64 (but with modern resolutions and without the heavy fog), which works surprisingly well for a shooter, because you can see enemies without getting lost in some clutter. Make no mistake it is clearly an Indie Game from a Dev without much experience, so there are some weird kinks, especially with some challenges and in multiplayer. Spawn Points are all over the place, at some maps with some game modes you spawn in the middle of the action and without weapons around you or enemies spawn beside you and kill you instantly, which isn't much fun against bots (in challenges) or against people you don't know. But with the right settings and some friends it can be as fun as goldeneye multiplayer was back in the day. If you are a fan of the N64 Rare shooters it is an easy recommendation. If not, maybe wait for a sale or skip.

It's basically a Goldeneye knockoff, but it's well done and pretty fun to playthrough.

very fun, highly recommend

I have played through 3 of the missions so far and it takes me right back to sitting on the couch with my dad and brother playing through Goldeneye on the N64 when it first came out. I don't know much about the story so far but am enjoying that side of it as well. I love that there is co op so I can experience this with my family again but with a new experience.

This is just commentary on the Arena deathmatch mode: I would spend hours just playing the Arena deathmatch mode of this game if it had a greater selection of guns and more than three maps. I set all the bots up, set the score limit to 100 and had a blast. Makes me want to go play Perfect Dark's deathmatch mode again because it hits all the right nostalgia notes. If only Microsoft put the XBLA Perfect Dark remaster on PC with mouse and keyboard controls, I'd be playing the heck out of that instead. Just a couple notes that don't really impact gameplay: the UI is bland and boring and the fact that you have to reconfigure your mouse sensitivity and look inversion settings when going into the Arena mode is a bit clunky. Those settings should respect the settings made in the main menu rather than opening up the chance for deviation.

I can really appreciate a modern take on Goldeneye 64 that doesn't try to dramatically change the formula more than it should. This game is a whole lot of fun. There's a lot of content in here, completing the base game is only scratching the surface. Online is a little dead at the moment, which is unfortunate. Also, found the game through BumblesMcFumbles, which I'm glad for.
