- Overlooked and outsold thanks to its console sharing brother but should we be putting this on the same pedastal as GoldenEye? Maybe!

If you kill Moneypenny at the start of King’s Ransom you’ll fail the mission but can continue playing. However, a security guard will alert you that M has been taken hostage in place of Moneypenny. I always thought it was amusing the developers accounted for that.
Wait what do you mean? Monneypenny isn't taking hostage by default, at least to my memory
@@Seethi_C Sorry, I should have worded that better. I meant after you activate the first security system Moneypenny will radio radio Bond to alert him that M has been taken hostage. However, if Moneypenny is dead prior to activating the security system a security guard will alert bond about M being held hostage.
@@k.g.cavalier4378 Oh shit!! never seen that before and i have this game on n64, im about to see for myself lol
Wow, that's crazy they included that. I played this game so much back in the day.
yeah it’s funny how some “mission fails” didn’t automatically end the attempt
The graphics and sound for an N64 game are simply brilliant.
Some of those late gen n64 games were excellent like banjo 2. Also nice that this game keeps a decent framerate unlike goldeneye
Fun fact: In the Maiden’s Tower level, the level begins with Zukovsky dying after being shot by Electra, but the dialogue where he actually dies only plays when you pick up the gun he gives you, so if you don’t pick up the gun he never dies. So if you want to keep him alive forever, you can! But that also means him dying is all your fault, so if you want that gun, I hope you can live with the guilt afterwards.
Haha that’s a nice side note to know. I hope Zukovsky’s caviar employees aren’t mad at me for kill their boss
Ahhhh that's so cool! I hadn't experienced that during my playthroughs. Thanks for giving me another reason to revisit this!
That gun was the only thing Valentin had in life after his cavier factory was trashed and Bullion turned his back on him and you took it from him.
That’s oddly comforting lol. He’s such a fun and interesting character and one of the best things about the brosnan era. I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaated that they killed him off and I was 10 then. Anything that allows Valentin to stay among the living is fine by me.
@@BaronOfZLand 🤣
In Die Another Day the VR training scene is basically James playing the MI-6 level from The World Is Not Enough.
Holy crap, you're right!
That my was first thought too when that scene came on in the movie.
Damn! Wish I'd got this game back in the day now. Only ever got the PS1 version.
Yep. First thing I thought of when I saw it in Die Another Day.
Fun fact: if you electrocute the MI6 security guard, he won't be able to ask you to fetch Doctor Warmflash. You can bypass the whole objective.
I love little tricks like this in games! Thanks for commenting with this, gonna go back and try it!
I'm sure speedrunners find that trick useful.
Nobody that isn't a speedrunner knows that. Lol you kids should credit to whomever you got the info from
@@tronnorth726 It's old info that appears on GameFAQs, needed info to finish the game 100% and surpass the times.
M in the movie: Looks sad when she sees that Bond killed Electra.
M in the N64 game: Calmly adjusts her hair like it's an ordinary day at the office.
Like a BOSS...
That whole “Silence Elektra” part was hilariously done 😂
If only he ended it with "and I have a whole bag of SHHHH with your name on it!"
nope its Christmas Must Survive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@IaMaPh1991 just before you start......................................................................................
Yes! So happy you did TWINE for the N64. This was the start of EUROCOM's experimentation with Bond games. Great video!
As long as you ignore James Bond Jr. for the NES.
And let's ignore that one (tho I like aspects of that game and its way better than the SNES version)
I love this game!!
Judi Dench’s facial model there looks absolutely terrifying like she’s in the Vic and Bob Masterchef sketch.
Goldeneye has a lot of cheap plastic melting in the sun style faces too lol
She looks like the version Silva creates of her. Maybe Sam Mendes did play this game?
Very much reminds me of donkey Kong 😂.

Calvin: "In both games, he's off limits...behind some glass, putting his massive rod into a hole."
Me: I am a mature adult...I will NOT giggle...
Seriously though, I really loved this game as a child and I think it suffered from having to not only follow Goldeneye (and, by extension, GE's "spiritual successor" in Perfect Dark) but also from not being developed by Rare. I think the only reason I played this more than Goldeneye was because 99% of my friends weren't into Bond OR shooters so I would spend literal hours playing against the Bots.
Glad to hear some praise for TWINE because it is a fantastically underappreciated title in the Bond gaming world.
HA! I'm so glad you enjoyed that line! Glad to hear you enjoyed the game a lot as a kid! Good point about it competing with Perfect Dark too... I hadn't considered that but you're spot on
"Really 00 Dyson, I haven't time for your juvenile quips".
Blunt rolled, bubble bath running, and roast in the oven. Now I see my childhood game in a Calvin Dyson review ands its a long one - Bliss.
I see you're one of culture. Dilly dilly my good human!
The N64 version was a fantastic game, it felt the closest to a successor to Goldeneye.
as is PS1 version too!!!!!!!!!!
No comment on the fact that the second level probably inspired the VR scene from Die Another Day?
My tutor from when I was at college worked on this game as a buy tester. he said that he pestered the director to put him in the game. I think it was the submarine captain, because as it was a photograph of his face put onto a 3D model, they had to do something about his long hair, so a cap got rid of it.
So happy this game is being given its due credit. It’s for sure one of the best Bond games for level design alone. There’s great variety to the gameplay, and the mission objectives are largely memorable. Also, the multiplayer was ballin’. I’d actually put it just behind Nightfire and just ahead of Goldeneye.
You gotta unlock all the characters and levels! You haven't lived until you've had a shootout on top of a flying airplane with a guy wearing just a bath towel lol.
6:28 OMG, I loved that show as a kid. Now I can't unsee it!
I was waiting for this one. I really got into this game last year. Like the movie, I find the game seriously underrated. I see why some people prefer this over Goldeneye since it's a much more polished game with more dynamic missions. Tho it does come at the cost of more annoying missions. I failed so many missions because hostages kept getting in crossfire.
Completely agree with you, Alex! Particularly on your point about the movie being underrated. I also failed in my playthrough a few times thanks to hostages getting in the way. There are SO MANY of them in this game!
TWINE is far more punishing than Goldeneye.
Goldeneye is the more important game, but TWINE is the better game.
Man I loved this one just as much as I did Goldeneye as a kid.
I remember renting it from Blockbuster the first time.
And getting it for Christmas later that year.
Happy memories.
"Mum! Calvin's swearing!" LMAO
You want to watch his early videos.
@@davidjames579 I want him to bring that back, those were hilarious especially the Quantum of Solace review!
@@Benji568 That and the Dalton hatred!
@@davidjames579 Nah, he likes Dalton now and has said that Licence to Kill is the best Dalton Bond film.
@@Benji568 Oh I don't want him to hate Dalton, but I did find his reaction funny. He was as over reacting as Frederick Gray in For Your Eyes Only.
I remember watching my brother boot up the game for the first time, select the Courier level and immediate fail the mission by punching the receptionist. We were so used to Goldeneye, where shoot absolutely everyone is usually standard procedure. Just one of the many ways the gameplay of TWINE 64 is more advanced and nuanced compared to Goldeneye.
It’s more like they actually just programmed more NPCs to be friendly fire or civilians that trigger a mission fail. It probably wasn’t that big of a change to do. In goldeneye there were still mission fail triggers with some civilian or friendly fire deaths, this game just enabled it even more.
@@KetwunsGamingPad Yeah I suppose I was exaggerating a bit. Goldeneye still had non-combatant NPC’s, guess my memory was a bit fuzzy. Still, yeah they are more advance in TWiNE, where some still try to kill you or even fight on your side.
I picked up TWINE N64 late last year and had a blast playing it. Can see several ideas that were fleshed out better in AUF and Nightfire. Definitely overshadowed by its big brother Goldeneye, but is in the same tier as it. The multiplayer is just as fun, plus the addition of bots makes it more versatile.
The expansion back turns on Hi Color mode which improves textures. It was definitely worth it
emulator emulates et
Thanks for reviewing this Calvin. This was my favorite Bond game growing up besides Agent Under Fire and Nightfire. This review really means a lot to me man I have been waiting for this since I first discovered your channel last March or April. Words can’t describe how much I appreciate this during these hard times! You made me laugh more than a view times! I kept rewinding it hoping it would never end! I would live to see you do a full play through of this man! This game is really a hidden gem there’s something very special about it the missions and level designs are better to me than goldeneye by far. TWINE is actually my favorite Bond movie. I always loved the Christmas Jones and Electra chemistry between them and Bond it kind of reminds me what I always wanted from a girl something about it just is so cool. It’s hard to explain but something about this movie and game just really holds a special place in my heart. Some interesting research I found scouring the internet the last couple years before I bought an N64 and did a recent play though I actually found out that there is a scrapped mission called subterranea that was removed from the game that was supposed to be between fallen angel and a sinking feeling pretty cool you can actually hack it into the game and see it’s similar to the caverns map on Goldeneye. Also there is a playable version of the thanes castle area that you can glitch into. Very cool. Also a test level called crate yard. And another cool bit of info is that a prototype version leaked a few years ago that is pretty much the same but still cool to check out. I believe there is some different guns and a couple more unseen levels to discover. Sorry for the long comment I just love this game so much. Love you bro can’t wait for more great videos from you in the future. Cheers Calvin.
Damn Calvin this guy took the time to write all of that and you didn’t even reply? Kind of rude
I still have my blue N64 cartirdge. Good times!
The problem with TWINE (if you had a N64 at least) is it is like eating a greasy kebab after enjoying the lobster bisque of Goldeneye 007.
"An off-duty Fat Controller", the Sheriff J.W. Pepper tourist, the two Calvin's squabbling over multiplayer, thank you for the many laughs Calvin. Also I had no idea Skyrail was in this game, granted I've only played a few of the mission levels on an emulator but I find that really interesting that they brought back an original level in Nightfire and not just locations from the films. Speaking of Nightfire, in the PC version you can have "goodies" battle each other in multiplayer, although the AI isn't great but you can still have fun with it lol.
Really glad you enjoyed it! Definitely had a lot of fun with this one in particular!
4:51 I love how he drops-dead instantly.
I never realised Calvin was sitting down in these videos...
Fun fact, you can change the gun's settings from a silenced pistol to an unsilenced, or the Sentinel Rockets from guide to auto, and the KA-57 for a auto to semi and so on.
Yes most guns have an Alternate fire mode
I remember the shotgun. It had an auto I think and it was hilarious. Great game really.
Calvin raving about the good and evil multiplayer skins is what we all did and still do playing matches. Playing as M with a 12 gauge shotgun is not only classic but led to my sisters labeling her it’s Judi Bitch.
@Stephen McNiff thank you!! A livestream would be a lot of fun indeed.
Great video! Fun fact about the bank heist level at the beginning: If you have a gun drawn, security will shoot you when you get downstairs. If you don't, they'll just watch you walk out.
This is my favorite Bond game! Not only a great game but also one of the best video game adaptations of a film in my opinion. It follows the plot pretty well and fleshes out the action scenes from the movie.
I just started watching the video but I wanted to say beforehand that I've really been looking forward to this review! I love the N64 version of this game and was super excited when you said you were going to review it!
Fun fact ~ On one of the multiplayer maps, hidden volcano I believe... The bots have a blind spot where you can hide and they cannot find you
Did you know you can completely skip the first level… just go into the room where deposit box is but raise the alarm first then pick up the deposit box then just walk out then you’re done 😊
This game is excellent. I never played the PS1 version, but I have very fond memories of blasting through those opening levels on my N64.
This game holds a special place in my heart for being a replacement birthday gift when my mom couldn't find Ogre Battle 64 despite looking all over town. In the end I might have never played this game, and never have played the multiplayer so much with my friends if not for that.
My mom did end up finding OB64 a few towns over about a month later. :)
Excellent video Calvin! I love TWINE, I know Goldeneye revolutionised first person shooters but I always played this one more. Some awesome, laugh out loud gags too - not a ski level!, the Moore pop figure, and JW Pepper’s outrage at the multiplayer got massive laughs! Thank you :-)
Yes! This is how I want to start my Sunday morning.
"An off duty fat controller" ahahaha that gave me a good laugh
The mrs belle button is beautiful 😍 still riding the high of just finding your channel dude! What a treasure trove of nostalgic bond content
Ridiculously underrated game!
29.33 “This is so cool, look at his little mole!” Hilarious :-D
The pure nostalgia of this vid.
Goldfinger 64 next please!!
I really hope to get to it eventually! I just need to figure out how to play it on my mac... I'm quite new to emulators and such! But yes, I've seen playthroughs of it and it looks great!
@@calvindyson Yay! I’ll love to see that review too! You can also get a physical cartridge of the game to play on N64 if you can’t get the emulator to work right, I heard it’s a little tricky to get the emulator working for it. The price varies depending on the seller.
38:27 more proof that sam mendes played this game
TWiNE, Goldeneye, and Nightfire are the 007 shooter holy trinity IMO.
Spend some time with any of the 3 either alone or with a couple friends and you are guaranteed a good time
It has literally been years since I’ve heard someone else feel the same way about TWINE for the N64 as myself. It’s not GE 64 but it’s definitely still a favorite of mine after 20+ years
10:04 - Fun Fact that's kinda sad: they originally were going to do the boat section playable. They just didn't have the time.
I think Cleese had more lines in the Agent difficulty.
I had a lot of fun with this game. It’s a shame it’ll be forever stuck in GoldenEye’s shadow (I think it’ll always be “the other N64 Bond game”) but then I think that’s a problem for Bond games as a whole that GoldenEye was so big that many gamers consider it the only Bond game worth talking about. I struggle to think of another game series so defined by just one title.
That being said, I can’t decide which I prefer more between GE and TWINE. Definitely TWINE benefits from the N64 Expansion Pak - which came free with Donkey Kong 64 so if players had bought that they would’ve been fine. Also TWINE benefits from coming out at a time when bigger N64 cart sizes were available so Eurocom were capable of more than what Rare could do in 97. TWINE does feel like it’s pushing the N64 further than GE, but then Rare were pushing it even further around the same time with Perfect Dark (which also sits in the shadow of GoldenEye sometimes).
My biggest memory of playing the game was having to replay the Masquerade level cause I couldn’t figure out you had to jump up and ride the rails - I wasn’t expecting the game to replicate the film so closely.
My only problem with this game was the N64 controller not having enough buttons. Pressing A cycles through your weapons, but to switch gadgets you have to hold A and press B, but then to switch between alternate weapon modes you have to hold B and press Z, and then to switch vision modes with the X-Ray specs you have to hold B and press A. Which is made all the more annoying that sometimes I’d go to hold A and press B to cycle gadgets, but it’d register as just pressing A and it’d cycle through the weapons instead. I know it’s a minor issue, but when you’re in the middle of a busy firefight it’s easy to forget which button combo does the thing you want, and you end up loosing a chunk of health cause an enemy starts firing at you while you’re faffing about with weapons. Most of the time I just did it through the pause menu, which really breaks the flow of the game. And yes, this wouldn’t be a problem if the N64 controller had more buttons (or had been designed better so the D-Pad could be reached), but I would’ve preferred if they had just put the gadgets in the weapons cycle rather than splitting them up.
Great write up as always, BenCol! I very much agree re the controls. I didn't go into it here as I felt like I didn't have much of a say given that I was playing it through an emulator. But yes, even when I was assigning the buttons to the PS4 controller I was using, some of it ended up feeling VERY clunky. I have a lot of nostalgia for the N64 controller but it's a pain to use on games like this where you want to strafe etc.
I'm probably a minority for saying this, but I think my sister and I had more fun playing the TWINE multiplayer than the Goldeneye multiplayer - primarily because you could play with bots and they gave you two planes refueling in midair as a map!
Great video Calvin, they just keep getting better and better especially the production value
Glad you like them! Feel like I've really found my groove these last 6 months or so :D Really appreciate the kind words!
You forgot to mention that if you stand behind an enemy holding your gun behind their back they will surrender. That's where the mechanic came from.
I always felt that Die Another Day took a page from this game's "King's Ransom" mission when Q introduces the simulator glasses.
It is a technically more impressive game for sure, it's just that the nostalgia tint goggles got in the way of so many. So many other good Bond games and I'm glad real Bond fans are beginning to appreciate the other games have done even more than Goldeneye and expanded the franchise!
I prefer this game to Goldeneye personally. The atmosphere and the gameplay are refined to a point Goldeneye simply could not do for the time it was released. Eurocom really knocked this one out of the park. They also made my personal favorite Bond game ever, Nightfire. I always wished the spinoff Bond games like Nightfire, Everything or Nothing or Agent Under Fire had gotten live action movies made for them. But that is a Bond fan dream really. Great video, brings me back to my childhood. I still pop this game in til this day on my N64 and enjoy its astounding gameplay.
I think one of the other things that held back the success of World is Not Enough on N64 was the fact that the true follow-up to Goldeneye from Rare came out that same year. Perfect Dark was released earlier that same year in 2000, so if you were looking for the true successor to it in terms of gameplay systems, design, & controls, Perfect Dark was likely you're better option. Also worth noting that Timesplitters came out that same year on PS2 by Free Radical, which consisted of ex-Rare devs who were part of the Goldeneye team, so yeah, no shortage of Goldeneye-like games to play in the year 2000.
It's a shame that TWINE was overshadowed. It looks like it would've sold as well as Goldeneye and Nightfire if the game had better advertising.
Yup! I think it had multiple disadvantages against it, coming out pretty much at the end of a consoles life definitely didn’t help
as a kid I was blown away by the floor reflections in the MI6 mission
My second favorite Bond game after GoldenEye.
One of my utter fave bond games without shadow of a doubt!
And overall, one of the most technically impressive games on the system! I mean, along with Conkers Bad fur day and the port of Resident evil 2, it actually has voice acting throughout!
Let's not forget this is a cartridge with storage of 64MB or less.
If I remember rightly most guns had two modes of firing, machine guns could be auto or single shot. Ppk with silencer or without and the shotgun could go full auto. That rocket launcher you shoot the helicopter with in the walkways levels can fire all four rockets.
Glad to see you play this version. I think its pretty underrated to be honest. Fun fact the ntsc version of the game the cartridge is blue.
Agreed very much on the underrated point! Didn't know that about the cartridge... *Heads to google
I like how the mission at Mi6 is essentially the into mashed with the VR training scene. Great use of source material
I'm still really hoping for a remake to this game somewhere down the line, one with a proper Thames chase and advanced stealth mechanics!
Loved this game back in the day. Totally agree with you about putting it up there with Nightfire and Everything or Nothing.
Sticky grenades on the Bank level were a blast in multiplayer.
TWINE is my favourite Bond film and I religiously play the PS1 edition and will eventually get my hands on the GBC edition but this N64 Edition seems to be the most apprehensive and best version such a shame I'll have to invest in a whole other console to play this natively oh well 😂 great review as ever Calvin 👍
I had this game as a kid and still do. I have to agree that it is better than goldeneye but I've never been able to beat either game having gotten stuck on the last level in both. It improves on a bunch of stuff established in goldeneye with tons of new gadgets and mechanics. Plus the variety of weapons is fantastic. Glad to see you've found it and got to enjoy it.
Elektra: “You wouldn’t kill me... you’d miss me”
Bond: “I never miss”
Playing Golden Gun mode in multiplayer was always fun imo, too bad that you need to beat the game on 00 difficulty to get it. But the mode itself is arguably among the most creative in any Bond game I feel, all players need to find 3 particular pieces of the Golden Gun (The grip, the magazine and the barrel) and once they have all 3, they need to use the Golden Gun to kill everyone else within a 3 minute window
Honestly, I loved this game especially on the N64, tbh maybe even more than Golden Eye. Golden Eye is also great but I just liked the play through of this one more. This game makes me feel like I'm the lead character in an action movie.
I loved this game as a kid, used to play it all the time as a kid in 2001.
I remember having a lot of difficulty with the awkward controls in the final level, but then somebody told me that you can change the control scheme to look up and down without having to manually aim all the time. It makes it so much easier.
Fun Fact: Near the end of the Fallen Angel Level, if you shoot Elektra in the wrong place, thus only injuring her, she immediately kills M and keeps shooting at you. If you still don't kill her, a cutscene plays where you see the sub go underwater.
I may have to go back and try this!
My mom knew a guy who worked at a place called Game Force. He said if I wanted any games to let him know. I had told him I wanted James Bond on N64 and he gave me this instead. I took it over to my neighbor's house and we had so much fun playing multiplayer with bots, that we opted to play this instead of Goldeneye (which they received later).
When we found out that stuff could be unlocked through the single player campaign, we started playing that together to unlock more multiplayer content. I really liked the watch feature and all the little gadgets that were introduced. Personally, I always enjoyed this game and Perfect Dark over Goldeneye. Your video reminded me that I really should revisit this one.
Elektra's "torture chair" is actually a mechanical garrote which was an execution device that was used throughout spain and its empire from the 1760's until 1958 when it was replaced with shooting in spain, although it was still used in the philippines until it was replaced with the electric chair in 1969.
The music from the night watch level is a "childhood memory unlocked" for me. I probably spent a lot of time on it because I sucked at stealth levels
TWINE N64 was and still is my favorite version of the game for me. The pace of the game is so much better and despite a few changes, it is the closest game to the movie in my opinion. I love the MI6 attack mission and I also enjoy the Subway a lot, but the action in both City of Walkways missions is absurd.
PS1's TWINE is a classic mainly because of the casino mission but the N64 version gets a bigger highlight for being a little bit more original. Attacking MI-6? Threatening the subways? Skiing throughout the Alps with dozens of doods trying to kill you? Better voice acting? Dude, that's just amazing.
Also the multiplayer is quite enjoyable as you can play it alone. It's impossible to hate this game, it brings me so many good memories. It's the closest game from Goldeneye on the same console. I can say that it is the Nightfire of the Nintendo 64.
Also, just promoting myself a bit... a playthrough of both PS1 and N64 TWINE, and many other Bond games are featured on my channel as well.
I rented TWINE so many times growing up and we returned it so late each time, my mom eventually had to buy the Blockbuster copy. My cartridge still has the sticker across the spine!
This game was unfortunately overshadowed by the awesomeness of Goldeneye, but this one is great as well! I was blown away by the multiplayer mode. Capture the Flag and King of the Hill were tons of fun. It might be tough to find friends to play it nowadays, but fortunately you can turn on some bots to play with!
34:38 - This is how Renard's death scene lives in my mind, with him reaching out and muttering _"I... feel... nothing..."_
Every time rewatching the film since playing TWINE N64, the absence of this line quite often manages to surprise me (mixed with a slight feeling of disappointment).
After hearing Bond say; _"She's waiting for you!"_ Renard just stays silent in the movie version - way less impactful.
I love this game! I remember seeing a single screenshot of this in Nintendo Power back in the day and being like "They're making another Bond game!! YES!" When it came out me and my cousin played the heck out of it. Pound for pound I've always considered it on pretty much the same level as Goldeneye. Late N64 games really are a whole different world than the early games--developers really started pushing the hardware to the max, and as someone who never had a Playstation it was mind blowing to see them pull off fully voiced cutscenes. We also loved all the new multiplayer modes and the fact that the game had bots so it made multiplayer matches way more interesting!
22:22 "His Lapel pin?!!!" hahaha very accurate to the movie
My highlight was the gadget watch. You never know if or when it will be needed on any given mission, felt authentically Bond.
I’m completely the same! I love it when Bond games do that and don’t only give you x gadget for only the two missions where you need it. Takes a little figuring out when exactly to use the grapple, laser etc
I have so many memories of playing twine 64 when I would stay with dad when I was little, this was before I seen the movie
Turncoat and City of Walkways II are absolute nightmares on 00 Agent. Took me over 100 tries to beat Turncoat because of the time limit and having to save the hostages. And I did it on old hardware with an original N64 controller. Feels good to have finally beat the game on the hardest difficulty though!
about time you reviewed the superior version of The World Is Not Enough!
One of my favorite games of all time. I use to play it with my dad and best friends. I still enjoy the game.
It's quite fitting that a Bond game requires 2 gadgets (rumble pak & expansion pak)
For some reason a lot of the R and Q dialogue is only ever heard on the easiest difficulty, worth going through it just to hear some of the dialogue there, mostly explaining the grappling hook, the bomb in the subway, and a few other locations. In Midnight Departure you can get into the truck that Davidov uses to get the airfield and it'll drive you there if you get in it instead of him. The opening cutscene in Turncoat has a second Bond spawn in for a second before the camera cuts to that second Bond where he then points to the board, this is not shown in this video though.
I take this is your summary of the two games: N64 version, superior gameplay; PS1 version, superior presentation. I think the N64 version could have benefited from including its own versions of the casino and pipeline station levels from the PS1 game. And since the multiplayer level gives you the fiery cave as a map, why not have add a level in which you follow Davidov into the cave and eavesdrop on his rendezvous with Arkov and Renard?
Completely agree! The N64 is a lot of action which is great but maybe it needed a level or two like the casino and pipeline ones that served the story as well as the gameplay. I’m nitpicking a bit because the N64 version is the superior one but still!
@@calvindyson Nintendo always cheaped out on the quality of their hardware. Constantly over-relying on obsolete storage media. If the N64 had a CD-ROM drive, it would have been the most powerful console. But the use of cartridges meant developers needed to compromise. Goldeneye has twenty levels, but no voice overs or elaborate cutscenes; TWINE has voice overs and elaborate cutscenes, but only 14 levels; Perfect Dark has 13 levels with elaborate cutscenes and voice overs, but requires the expansion pak to even access them.
I'm so grateful that the N64 version was my first game and I was born 2002 Im an lucky bas....
Older I get more I feel like this was both my favorite game and movie. It definitely wins in some part because of nostalgia.
I got this game new in 2000 and indeed played it before seeing the movie. I always loved the sound effects for the guns in this game, they really had some excellent sound design, even better than goldeneye IMO.
I thoroughly enjoyed this game when it came out for the N64. Fond memories!
Great work as always Calvin! Getting mowed down by M with an AK is unforgettable!
Like Nightfire, this game has a special place for me. These games did a great job giving people a look into Bond with gameplay variability. Especially loved the music in this game too. Hoping one of these days the franchise could potentially get some new management that can churn out new games. 007 is such an untapped franchise... guess that’s what makes it so unique tho!
32:46 I can’t stop laughing at this part 🤣 😂😂😂😂😂
10:25 Roger Moore's voice coming out of 64bit Pierce Brosnan is jarring.
