GoldenEye 007 is a first-person shooter video game developed by Rare and published by Nintendo. It is based on the 1995 film GoldenEye and was exclusively released for the Nintendo 64 video game console in August 1997. A different game based on the film, also titled GoldenEye 007, was released for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS in 2010. Players assume the role of James Bond, a British Secret Intelligence Service agent, as he fights to prevent a syndicate from using a satellite weapon against London to cause a global financial meltdown. The game features a single player campaign and a multiplayer deathmatch mode that can exclusively be played in split-screen.
A critical and commercial success, GoldenEye 007 received overwhelmingly positive reviews from video game websites and magazines, and sold over eight million copies worldwide. It has been praised for its multiplayer mode, and its incorporation of stealth elements and varied mission objectives into its single player campaign. It is widely considered to be one of the most influential shooting games of all time. GoldenEye 007 was followed by a spiritual successor, Perfect Dark, also developed by Rare for the Nintendo 64. The commercial successor was Tomorrow Never Dies, developed by Electronic Arts for the PlayStation.
