How many difficulty settings did you complete the new GoldenEye 007 on?  If you only played the first difficulty setting, the game is very "tube-ish"; but once you start on the other difficulty settings, the other objectives do show you different rooms, you may have missed before.

Also, how long did you play the multi-player?  I own GoldenEye 007 on the Wii, and Call of Duty: Black Ops on the PS3.  I have played Black Ops' multi-player LESS, than GoldenEye's, but had MORE problems with connection issues on the PS3.

I honestly don't have many issues with GoldenEye's multi-player at all, as for connection/lag.

As for "boring missions and level designs", that's a matter of opinion.

I had never watched GoldenEye 007, the movie, before I played the original on the N64.  As a matter of fact, I had never watched GoldenEye 007 the movie, until the end of October 2010...basically a month ago.

I didn't realize the differences between the game and movie, but after playing GoldenEye 007 on the Wii, I think that is the game that follows the movie's plot a little closer, and gives it a nice update.

The game isn't perfect(still looking for that one), but it's pretty solid overall.

"It clumps weapons together in a single messy column. There's little reason to stray from using automatic weapons."

I'm on the menu right now, and I don't see what's "messy" about the way they list the weapons.  There's only about 20 total, and most aren't unlocked when you first start playing anyway.  It's a simple list column, that shows the weapons and their: Damage, Accuracy, Range, and Rate of Fire.  A picture of each weapon is shown at the bottom of the screen when it's name is the one highlighted on the list.

Also, if you never used a shotgun in multi-player, you don't know its power...and that's not an "automatic" weapon.

MENUs!  Use them please, :).

I see that I currently need 380 XP to my next rank."
