After the difficulty select, the player is given another dossier, which includes background information on the mission and its objectives (higher difficulties incorporate extra, more complex objectives) and comments by MI6 personnel including M, Q and Miss Moneypenny. Each of the twenty missions can be played using one of several difficulties: Agent, Secret Agent, 00-Agent and the customisable 007 setting, which is unlocked upon fully completing the game. The next selection screen allows the player to choose the mission he or she wishes to tackle. The player has four dossiers, each representing a single save file, to choose from. GoldenEye 007's menu system is set up as an MI6 dossier. There are multiple routes across the level." Gameplay and designĪ mission dossier from the Aztec level in GoldenEye 007 There are rooms with no direct relevance to the level. "The benefit of this sloppy unplanned approach was that many of the levels in the game have a realistic and non-linear feel. As Martin Hollis explained in his speech: The original sets that were created for the film were first converted into complete, believable virtual environments by one group of game designers when this process was complete other designers began populating them with objectives, characters and obstacles in order to create a balanced, fun game. It is based upon the GoldenEye film and its novelization by John Gardner, although many of the missions included in the game, as explained by game designer Martin Hollis, were changed or extended to allow for the player to participate in a sequence that Bond originally either wasn't a part of or played a minor role in. GoldenEye 007 was originally intended to be an on-rails shooter similar to Virtua Cop, only becoming a first-person shooter later in development. People were putting in voluntary overtime to test this game." And then when it went into testing there was this very good feedback, initially from testers in-house but also from Nintendo. The general feeling was we were a bunch of students wasting time.
"We were like a mini-company inside Rare making an atypical game that no-one really thought was going to be any good.
"Looking back, there are things I'd be wary of attempting now, but as none of the people working on the code, graphics and game design had worked on a game before, there was this joyful naïvety."
The development team working on GoldenEye 007 was very inexperienced for all but two of them, it was their first game.
