Just got my copy today, they are selling like hotcakes in my area.

A few good things

- Borders are removed !
- Slowdown is not so bad.
- $79.95 price tag kicks ass! I noticed MRC was also released today
for $129.95.


The bad

- Noticed flickering on the textures. Is this evident on the US
version? It doesn't happen often but enough to make you wonder about
it.
- Music is ok but gets repetative real quick.
- the screenshots on the box, look real sharp compared to the game
itself. Im not saying the gfx suck, just that the screenshots make it
look unbelievable when they are not.

overall , great game and a good PAL conversion. Get it now if your an
aussie!

The music is good! maybe you should get farther before stating the music
is repetitive.

In a secluded warehouse,
on a pier somewhere in Maine,
gagged and at gunpoint,
ExtraTer...@webtv.net (Troy Davis) frantically made this plea for
help:

>is repetitive.

I think that it is repetitive. Many (most?) pieces are variants of the Bond
theme, so it's a given that they'll sound similar to each other. Plus, the
music composition is repetitive in general.

I don't necessarily consider that a bad thing, however. GoldenEye's music is
some of the best stuff I've heard in an N64 game, next to KI Gold and Blast
Corps.
