Jack Red reviews GoldenEye: Source

Hi everyone this is Jack Red, I want to do a short mod review series with two of my favorite mods in the entire world. I want to do GoldenEye: Source first since I been waiting a long time to play it then just recently played for hours. In the blog entry following this I will review another mod I been knowing it from a close friend. Sven Co-op which will be one of my toughest reviews I ever done but at the moment let's talk about GoldenEye: Source.

I heard the Wii remake of the game wasn't that great though I can see why just looking at some footage. I got to say I do plan on playing it in the near future despite how different it was from the movie as well as one of the greatest games. This mod has big fans of the game making it with one of their friend passed away a few years ago they were able to go beyond my expectations. I met some of the developers on the forum since they do listen to what the fans say.

I want to make this clear before I start officially reviewing this mod I want to point out that I'm reviewing the Beta 4.1. I really like how close this mod is to the original game it reminds me of two great remakes on the Game Cube. Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes are the only other ones I can recommend to people. The opening in my opinion was better without question in fact it's one of my favorites now. Do you know another opening into the game I really like was Conker's Bad Fur Day. Right now it's just multiplayer with a lot of people requesting for an single player campaign.

Yes ladies and gentleman it's that good I couldn't believe how fun it was playing with other people. Most people on Steam already know this that all mods are free isn't that awesome. That's almost as crazy as Duke Nukem Forever taking so many fucking years to make. GoldenEye: Source also has a team that will listen to the fans like another very popular mod Sven C0-op. I got so much to get off my back for this one since I was one of those popular who loved the multiplayer.

It sucks that their leader for this mod has passed away but his team sure doing a good job. Their goal was to not only recreate the classic feel but to also push the limits. They added so many maps including all the classic ones plus a brand new map based on Casino Royale. They also added a couple of new games to play with other people like Gun Game or Dr. No Armor. I really like they added a list of achievements with many references to the movies.

There was an website with an article about all the references in the original game now this one goes beyond it. The actual game play is more fun than the classic since you can play with more people. In the original game you could only have four people playing at a time but not in this mod. I did look at an article put up by one of the developers behind it with a list of servers with the biggest. You can play on a couple of 24 players servers which is fucking awesome.

I am not surprised that it's kicking the Wii remake's ass because this mod has big fans of the game making it. They nailed everything you can possible think of like the sound effects, weapons, characters, and more. I also heard of Perfect Dark: Source but that's up in the air if I will give that one a try or not. I did come across some comments on YouTube saying they like that better GoldenEye: Source. Are you fucking kidding me this mod is so damn good I mean just look at how many playing it.

You can even create your own server kinda like Half-Life: Opposing Force which I will be reviewing that soon. This mod like Sven Co-op has everything to keep me coming back to it I am dead fucking serious. Nickster must be proud of you guys up in Heaven because I would. In conclusion I really like this mod in fact I want to meet people who like the game as much as I do.
I thank those reading this as well as the GoldenEye: Source for making a remake that doesn't suck.
