A worthy reboot, minus the multiplayer.

As a fan of the original N64 Goldeneye, I couldn't resist checking this one out.
The campaign mode was a blast. All the levels I loved are there, but updated and improved to match today's standard. AI and weapons are also more modern and realistic. What you end up with is more of a dark, gritty tribute to the original game, rather than a remake.
That being said, the multiplayer just didn't do it for me. Local multiplayer is moot, because the levels are much more expansive. So without the ability to add bots, you end up circling each other for an uncomfortably long while, and only landing a few kills.
For online multiplayer, fans of the shooter genre should probably just stick to larger franchises that have already mastered online play.
Great (albeit short) campaign though. Definitely a good one to rent.
