Video Gaming News - November 2004
Redwood City, CA (November 22, 2004) - Electronic Arts today announced
the release of GoldenEye: Rogue Agent.
From EA:
Going where no previous Bond game has dared tread, this first-person shooter
gives players the chance to explore the dark side of the Bond universe and
experience life as a ruthless, unpredictable villain. GoldenEye: Rogue Agent is
available on the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, the Xbox, and the
GameCube.
“By allowing fans to step into the shoes of the ‘bad guys’, GoldenEye: Rogue
Agent is the most exciting, cutting-edge episode of the Bond video game series
to date,” said Patrick Gilmore, Executive Producer at EA Los Angeles.
The focus of this action-packed game shifts from that of 007 himself to the
corrupt underworld and its criminal masterminds. Players wreak havoc as they
make their unrelenting rise through the ranks of villainy. On globe-spanning
missions of vengeance and demolition, players encounter such legendary villains
and Bond girls as Xenia Onatopp, Dr. No, Goldfinger, Oddjob, Scaramanga, and
Pussy Galore.
Players can exploit over 100 different weapon combinations through the
dual-wield gunplay system, or go head-to-head, melee-style, by taking enemies
hostage or knocking them out with one punch. GoldenEye: Rogue Agent fully
integrates single-player, multiplayer split screen, and online* gameplay for the
PlayStation 2 console and Xbox. Featured game modes include story-based campaign
missions spanning 20 gripping single-player levels and more than 20 intense
multiplayer arenas where players can engage in deathmatch-style showdowns and
objective-based team vs. team scenarios.
With the most authentic take on the Bond universe in a video game to date,
players can travel to famous film locations such as the top of the Golden Gate
Bridge from A View To A Kill, the Pyramids from The Spy Who Loved Me, and the
Volcano Lair from You Only Live Twice. GoldenEye: Rogue Agent’s star-studded
lineup includes Christopher Lee, who is reprising his role as the villainous
Francisco Scaramanga from The Man With The Golden Gun and Judi Dench, who
returns as M and has appeared in four Bond films to date. World-renowned DJ and
artist Paul Oakenfold composed an original score and created the game’s
overarching musical personality with hard-driving, rhythmic beats hand-crafted
for every mission. Rounding out the talent behind the game is Academy
Award®-winning Production Designer Sir Ken Adam (James Bond series), Costume
Designer Kym Barrett (The Matrix trilogy), and Character Designer Rene Morel
(Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within).
