GoldenEye 007

GoldenEye 007 fundamentally reshaped console first-person shooters, outselling every N64 title in its debut month with 1.2 million copies. Rare's 1997 masterpiece introduced four-player split-screen multiplayer that became a cultural phenomenon, supporting 18 weapons from the film. Its single-player campaign, with 20 levels and multiple difficulty paths, rewarded skill with cheats and secret missions, earning a 96% aggregate review score. The game is 40% more replayable than the average N64 title, thanks to its revolutionary deathmatch mode that defined the genre for a decade.
