Electronic Arts announced the release of the latest video
game in the James Bond series, GoldenEye: Rogue Agent. Going where no previous Bond game has
dared tread, this first-person shooter gives players the chance to explore the dark side of
the Bond universe and experience life as a ruthless, unpredictable villain. GoldenEye: Rogue
Agent is available on the PlayStation 2, the Xbox and the Nintendo GameCube under the EA
GAMES brand.
The focus of this action-packed game shifts from that of 007 himself to
the corrupt underworld and its criminal masterminds. Players wreak havoc as they make their
unrelenting rise through the ranks of villainy. On globe-spanning missions of vengeance and
demolition, players encounter such legendary villains and Bond girls as Xenia Onatopp, Dr.
No, Goldfinger, Oddjob, Scaramanga, and Pussy Galore.
Players can exploit over 100
different weapon combinations through the dual-wield gunplay system, or go head-to-head,
melee-style, by taking enemies hostage or knocking them out with one punch. GoldenEye: Rogue
Agent fully integrates single-player, multiplayer split screen, and online gameplay for the
PlayStation 2 console and Xbox. Featured game modes include story-based campaign missions
spanning 20 gripping single-player levels and more than 20 intense multiplayer arenas where
players can engage in deathmatch-style showdowns and objective-based team vs. team
scenarios.
With the most authentic take on the Bond universe in a video game to date,
players can travel to famous film locations such as the top of the Golden Gate Bridge from A
View To A Kill, the Pyramids from The Spy Who Loved Me, and the Volcano Lair from You Only
Live Twice. GoldenEye: Rogue Agents star-studded lineup includes Christopher Lee, who is
reprising his role as the villainous Francisco Scaramanga from The Man With The Golden Gun
and Judi Dench, who returns as M and has appeared in four Bond films to date. World-renowned
DJ and artist Paul Oakenfold composed an original score and created the games overarching
musical personality with hard-driving, rhythmic beats hand-crafted for every mission.
Rounding out the talent behind the game is Academy Award-winning Production Designer Sir Ken
Adam (James Bond series), Costume Designer Kym Barrett (The Matrix trilogy), and Character
Designer Rene Morel (Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within).
Officially licensed by MGM
Interactive, GoldenEye: Rogue Agent was developed at EAs Los Angeles studio. The game has a
US MSRP of USD 49.99.
