I still don't understand why GoldenEye 007 was a Wii title. I suspect it was positioned under the assumption that all GoldenEye N64 fans are die-hard Nintendo fans, or maybe Activision didn't want it to directly compete with Call of Duty or Blood Stone — but the focus on split-screen play only highlights the piss-poor online userbase, and the inclusion of a Classic Controller Pro in the deluxe edition was basically an admission of, "hey, you really don't want to actually play this with a Wii remote."

This could've been a great game. It had a solid opening: the Dam, Facility, and Runway, lifted from the original game and movie but updated to current standards. But the further the game progressed, the more it drifted away from its roots in favor of sticking to a publisher's comfort zone of cookie-cutter first-person stealth-action.

This was GoldenEye 007.
