The classic first-person shooter video game GoldenEye 007 has finally been remastered and released on Xbox and Nintendo Switch consoles.

Originally released in 1997 for the Nintendo 64, GoldenEye 007 was a revolutionary game for its time, introducing a new level of realism and interactivity to the shooter genre.

IGN has reviewed the new version of the game, which includes a comparison of the differences between the Xbox and Switch versions. According to the review, the Switch version has been optimised for a better frame rate and smoother gameplay, while the Xbox version has been given a graphical overhaul, with improved textures and effects.

Nintendo Life has also reviewed the game, praising its improved visuals, sound design and controls. However, they noted that some of the game’s features, such as the split-screen multiplayer, are not available on the Switch version.

Kotaku has also weighed in on the new release, noting that while the game is a welcome addition to the Switch and Xbox libraries, it is not without its flaws. They point out that the game suffers from some technical issues, such as frame rate drops and poor performance, which need to be addressed in future updates.

The Guardian has also looked back at the original game, noting that it was a pioneering title for its time, and has gone on to influence many of the games that followed it.

For those who want to experience GoldenEye 007’s classic gameplay, the new versions are available now on Xbox and Nintendo Switch.
