Too much hype! This game isn't really for those without any friends. Single Player is a huge let down. It is boring and just not hard enough! I mean there must be about 10-15 enemies on the first level. That is the first level to get you interested in the game and hey it is pretty dull. There are only a few weapons, and the future weapons are not good at all. Plasma poo flying all over the place and bouncing off walls, I mean come on why do that. A nice bit of laser bullets or something would be better, but not flying glowing things.

Controlls are poor to say the least. With out the greatest controller lay out EVER (N64) It is just pathetic, using the controller like a Dual Shock just annoys me.

Easy setting isn't easy at all, it is just...well...like breathing...natural and effortless. Too little enemies are just poor.

Goldeneye 2? NO, a big NO.

However, the in date weapons like the tommy gun are great. Multi Player is the best yet and making your own map rules!

Unfortunatly, without any stats for the multi player games, it feels to me like a real bad let down.

I spent most of yesterday playing 8 player TS2 (PS2) and I have decided that Perfect Dark is still unbeaten as a multiplayer FPS. In fact, Goldeneye and PD are still the best.

The reason is that no FPS I have played since these have had the skill factor that these games had. TS2 is just too fast and it's just blast blast blast.

Don't get me wrong, I still like TS2 but I prefer using skill rather than just firing away at everything.

Halo did try making it skillful but it still didn't require a lot of skill (as it was SOO easy to get a head shot every single time).

Anyway, single player in TS2 is still good and I still like the game but it isn't a Goldeneye sequel.

And the weapons do in fact suck! I don't like explosive weapons as this removes all skill! I like a match of JUST explosive weapons from time to time but I don't think it works mixing explosives with bullet based guns at the same time.

What REALLY annoys me is that some of the best weapons' secondary functions are explosive. The Soviet has grenades, the sci-fi autorfile has plasma grenades. There aren't enough weapons either. Where the hell is the uzi?!?!

But you said that ALL the GC mags gave it the same score. If this isn't so, then why say it?

It means you can't count. NGC (a Gamecube magazine, if I'm not mistaken) gave it 92%. Surely this is 9.2/10, and not 9.5/10? Tsk!

You're wrong. All the mags didn't give it the same scores.
