8 Best Movie Licensed Video Games Of All Time
2. GoldenEye 007 (Nintendo 64)
It’s mind-boggling to think that a game based on a movie would ever grow enough in popularity to eclipse the film on which it was based, but that’s exactly what happened with Rare’s uber-famous GoldenEye 007.
Often heralded as one of the premier Nintendo 64 games and usually credited as an instrumental part of the early console FPS market, GoldenEye 007 proved just how much fun stepping into the shoes of James Bond could be.
The game was perhaps most famous for its couch co-op arena modes in which four players could all huddle around the same TV and blast each other to bits. It may seem overwhelmingly rudimentary by today’s standards, but, given that the advent of online connectivity is slowly destroying these face-to-face gameplay options, it’s a great thing to return to in 2018.
GoldenEye 007 is far from a forgotten gem, as just about everyone and their mother has heard about it at this point. Though it doesn’t quite live up to expectations over twenty years after release, it definitely deserves a place in the annals of gaming history.
