Bond escapes by detonating explosives he had placed throughout the facility before fleeing Arkhangelsk via aeroplane. The mission goes awry when Trevelyan is shot by General Ourumov.
Set in between Quantum of Solace and Skyfall, MI6 Agents James Bond and Alec Trevelyan are tasked by M with infiltrating a chemical weapons facility in Arkhangelsk, Russia, which is believed to be the source of weapons used by a terrorist cell to target British embassies around the globe. Accordingly, the story does not jump nine years ahead after the opening sequence. Unlike the original video game and movie, the whole story takes place after the Cold War due to the Soviet Union's dissolution and replacement by Russia.
With the exception of M, all other main characters from the film have had their appearances and voices altered while retaining their original names. Judi Dench (who has portrayed M since GoldenEye) reprises her role in voice only, as does Rory Kinnear as Bill Tanner. The plot has been modified to match the style of the first two Craig reboot era films, which also meant the exclusion of Q and Moneypenny (who later returned to the franchise in Skyfall). An enhanced port of the game, titled GoldenEye 007: Reloaded, was released in November 2011 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.Īlthough Pierce Brosnan starred as Bond in GoldenEye and was featured in the 1997 game, subsequent Bond actor Daniel Craig's likeness and voice are featured in the 2010 game. It was the fourth 007 game developed by Eurocom and their second under Activision, after Quantum of Solace on the PlayStation 2 two years prior.Īlthough not as critically acclaimed as its original Nintendo 64 version, the game received positive reviews from critics, with many calling it a return to form for the series, with particular praise for its gameplay, campaign, voice acting, multiplayer and controls. Nintendo, the publisher of the Nintendo 64 game, published the Wii version in Japan. The game was released on 2 November 2010 in tandem with another James Bond game, Blood Stone. The game was officially announced by Nintendo at their E3 2010 conference presentation. It is a modern reimagining of the 1995 James Bond film GoldenEye as well as a remake of the 1997 video game of the same name, developed for the earlier Nintendo 64 console. GoldenEye 007 is a 2010 first-person shooter video game developed by Eurocom and published by Activision for the Wii video game console, with a handheld version for Nintendo DS developed by n-Space.
