I had GoldenEye and played the campaign and the multiplayer with friends and family to death. Until Perfect Dark came out, which is just GoldenEye but better, the far superior game and one of my alltime classics. The only fault of this game is the performance (and from todays standpoint the controls). Wish it was Perfect Dark instead.
Perfect Dark was considered the better game because it improved upon… pretty much everything. For those who were there… yeah, GoldenEye was the shit, but Perfect Dark was just a better GoldenEye but without the 007 license. And that’s really all it was. Rare got the license to make GoldenEye but they weren’t granted a license to make another one. I think it went to EA after that? So Rare made a sequel to GoldenEye anyway, but they made Bond a woman called Joanna Dark (IIRC) and, like a good sequel, they improved upon everything they thought needed improving. The only issue was, the main character wasn’t a man called James Bond.
I mostly played match modes with 3 players, which means I had double the fps of 4. So its not that bad compared to 2.
But I was also a huge fan of the mode where my friend played the enemies in the single player campaign and I was the main character. Wish more games had this game mode (forgot how its called).

Always great when all 4 players have that little explosion gun and the FPS drops to 2.

Wait a second, I completely forgot there was already a decompilation project for Perfect Dark: https://github.com/perfect-dark-pc-port/perfect_dark
