Unsure whether to get it as I never played the original (I know, I'm apparently missing out big time)

I already own this on N64 cart, and i'm already overloaded with FPS.. but i will still buy it as its a remake at a good price. I never finished it on N64, but i will do now. :)

Worth $10 for nostalgia alone. I'd pay even more for Goldeneye if they ever get the licensing worked out...

Still, be ready to remember how hard FPS used to be!

I am so stoked. Ppl. If you are not sure, just get it. Sheesh. It's so classically awesome. Step below Goldeneye, but the next best thing IMO. And at 800MP it's an absolute steal. Wish other XBLA game prices were not so arrogantly high.

@Avast: All of the Goldeneye weapons are in the game, so that's a start.

Anyone on the fence should definitely buy this game. There is a LOT of stuff to do, and it will be worth the cost of admission. The practically limitless options for multiplayer make for a fantastic experience, and it's just a hell of a lot of fun. Besides, it's only 800 points. Why, that's less than a Modern Warfare 2 map pack!
