Synopsis :
GoldenEye 007 is a 2010 first-person shooter video game developed by Eurocom and published by Activision for the Wii video game console, with a handheld version for Nintendo DS developed by n-Space. It is a modern reimagining of the 1995 James Bond film GoldenEye as well as a remake of the 1997 video game of the same name, developed for the earlier Nintendo 64 console. The game was officially announced by Nintendo at their E3 2010 conference presentation. The game was released on 2 November 2010 in tandem with another James Bond game, Blood Stone, which was also released for the DS, but not the Wii. Nintendo, the publisher of the Nintendo 64 game, published the Wii version in Japan the following summer,[6] where it remains Wii-exclusive. It was the fourth 007 game developed by Eurocom and their second under Activision, after the PlayStation 2 version of 007: Quantum of Solace two years prior.
Although not as critically acclaimed as its original Nintendo 64 version, the game received positive reviews from critics, with many calling it a return to form for the series, with particular praise for its gameplay, campaign, voice acting, multiplayer and controls. An enhanced port of the game, titled GoldenEye 007: Reloaded, was released in November 2011 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Set in between Quantum of Solace and Skyfall, MI6 Agents James Bond and Alec Trevelyan are tasked by M with infiltrating a chemical weapons facility in Arkhangelsk, Russia, which is believed to be the source of weapons used by a terrorist cell to target British embassies around the globe. The mission goes awry when Trevelyan is shot by General Ourumov. Bond escapes by detonating explosives he had placed throughout the facility before fleeing Arkhangelsk via an aeroplane.
Later, a phone call intercepted from Ourumov connects him to Russian gangster Valentin Zukovsky as Ourumov attempts to acquire a helicopter that has been modified to survive an electromagnetic pulse. Bond convenes with Zukovsky at his nightclub, where Zukovsky reluctantly directs him to an arms fair in Dubai before he is killed by Xenia Onatopp, an operative for Ourumov posing as a waitress. Bond is able to escape Zukovsky’s armed guards and eventually reach the arms fair. Onatopp and Ourumov hijack the helicopter but Bond is able to plant his smartphone on board, and MI6 is able to track the helicopter to a remote base in Siberia. Bond is unable to thwart the theft of a GoldenEye weapons satellite, which is detonated by Ourumov. Bond rescues Natalya Simonova before they’re both arrested by the Russian army.
Believing Bond and Simonova to be responsible for the GoldenEye blast, Russian Defence Minister Dmitri Mishkin interrogates the two in Saint Petersburg. Mishkin is killed by Ourumov, who then abducts Natalya. Bond pursues him to a train and confronts him over his plan for the GoldenEye satellite before Onatopp betrays Ourumov and kills him. Bond is able to help Natalya off the train and goes to a meeting at Statue Park, learning that Trevelyan survived his execution at the hands of Ourumov and is now Janus, the mastermind behind the GoldenEye theft. Alec leaves with Natalya, who is instrumental in his plan, while Bond is left in the helicopter as it fires missiles on itself, but Bond escapes before its explosion.
Bond traverses a jungle in northwestern Nigeria in order to infiltrate Trevelyan’s solar panel facility. Before making his way into the facility, he’s attacked by Onatopp but he manages to defeat her. Bond plants bombs on various engines before he’s captured and brought to Trevelyan. Before Trevelyan can use Natalya’s fingerprints to activate the GoldenEye key and use the satellite to destroy London and erase evidence of the finances he stole. After Bond and Natalya sabotage the satellite, Bond pursues Trevelyan before eventually overloading the facility control room and shoot Trevelyan, sending him to his death over the tower. Simonova and Bond escape the base by helicopter, with the couple kissing in the mission’s aftermath.
