"Players will experience Bond like never before -- as an evil, dropout 00 agent. Gamers take on the role of an agent who's dismissed from MI6 for reckless brutality, and who then subsequently joins the ranks of the criminal underground. Joining up with super-villain Auric Goldenfinger, players battle for control of the world's greatest criminal organisation."

If it is, I'll be very suprised, I've had 1st hand experiences of buying an EA game and being extremely dissapointed. It's very rarely that they put passion into making games. Also, the attention to detail on such games as LOTR is awful.
On the other hand, I do think games such as SSX Tricky are class.
and the AK-47, if that ain't in the game. it's a pitty cos that gun is one of the best guns ever made! "AK-47: designed to kill every mother****** in the room. except no subsitutes" - Samuel L. Jakson - Jackie Brown :-)
but i'm sure there's gonna be some cool-azz guns in the game. hope they do double guns too. please! (holding 2 guns at same time poping every bich in sight!)
2) This game has nothing to do with anything James Bond, except it's called Goldeneye and James Bond makes a rare appearance..
That's it. It's a cash in, and regardless, if the game's good, people will expect it to be a Goldeneye beater, buy it, and then shove it up the nearest EA employees butt.

Oh dear.
1. some of the levels like surface, bunker and silo will be removerd because Rare created those levels specially for the game
2. some of the background characters (the bad guys with the wierd faces) will not appear as they were also Rare's creation
3. some of the guns which made the game the best like the KF7-soviet, PP7, DD44, AR33, etc will also be removed as they were rare's names for real guns.
now with these changes goldeneye 2 will never (if ever released) be as good as the original
It was at the start of the N64s lifetime, and the multiplayer was an afterthought. PD took it to perfection multiplayer, but because it was planned and about 3 years later!
Goldeneye remains the best FPS on a console, with PD just behind.

I wouldn't say that, there weren't many multiplayer maps and the lack of bot support was a big let down.
