positive and negative
positives
- Good variety of stats and prizes.
- Leveling up as standard
- sort function
- No disconnections have been experienced
- The maps are very well designed and varied (although there are a limited number of maps, see the negatives). There is a good mix of indoor/outdoor action.
- Five types of weapons with upgrades on each weapon.
- More weapons are unlocked as you level up.
- Over the shoulder shooting system works well, similar style to Resident Evil 5
- The cover system is easy to pick up, which complements the tactical features of the matches.
- The duration of the games is almost correct
- You can change your weapon when you are in the base, you don’t need to die to change your main weapon
- A very welcome change from the typical shoot ’em up, which is to say, there is a niche in the market for over-the-shoulder, third-person, cover-based shoot ’em ups. It certainly works for Gears of War 2
- You can change the loadout of weapons and the appearance of the character.
negatives
- Only 6 maps in TDM and LMS
- Only 2 maps on target
- only 3 modes
- Difficulty finding a game in Objective and LMS
- If you’re looking for a fast-paced multiplayer shooter in the Black Ops mold, this isn’t for you.
- It would have been nice to have a Black Ops-like ‘killstreak’ system with Bond type gadgets eg exploding pens and Little Nell
- Goldeneye 007 on Wii is a more satisfying experience overall, despite the graphical limitations of Nintendo’s console compared to PS3 and Xbox 360.
- Although the maps are based on the Blood Stone game, it would be nice to have some locations from various Bond movies to play as well.
- Also, since some of the gameplay parts in the game are vehicle-based (car, speedboat, etc.), why not integrate this into multiplayer modes, like the idea of Rally in Halo Reach?
- Sometimes there is a short delay when a kill shot is fired and it is recognized as a kill; in a cover-based game like Blood Stone, having an instant kill notification is absolutely crucial. Going out of cover longer than necessary can be fatal, therefore it is imperative to know if a shot is a kill shot instantly. The slight time lag can cause you to chase a kill longer than necessary, opening you up to counter kills while out of cover.
