When reviewing the game and making that comment I wasn't talking from a technical stance as that would be pointless, though I will agree the graphics are better, yes there are a wider variety of characters (without as much depth as the characters form the film) and improved engine.... but that's not the things that stick in my mind. It's the sheer shock of seeing golden eye for the first time, the joy of seeing the game come to life before you. When I look back at a game I look at everything to do with the game; the box, advertisement, loading times, hours played, jaw dropping moments etc. From a technical point maybe it's not the ultimate in graphics or engine, but the fact still stands that this game for the first time had it all... so much so the squeal had to borrow from it. Did perfect dark blow you away the first time you played it? or did you just note down the improvements on golden eye? It's the ultimate fps for the n64 not because of it's characters, levels or engine but because it was milestone and it much to annoyance of playstation owners it was for nintendo owners only. But each to their own though, thanks for reading the article... I'll be watching my statements in the future.

PD was basically Goldeneye II - same developers, improved engine, and a focus on making the multiplayer component as good as it could possibly be.
