GoldenEye 007: Reloaded Preview: Who says remakes are no good?

Revisit the stunning locales, kill the classic villains, and even play as Christopher Walken in the latest and greatest GoldenEye remake for Xbox 360 and PS3. With a release date of November 1, get ready for some hard and fast facts.

Watch the official GoldenEye trailer below.

Single Player

The campaign mode for GoldenEye: Reloaded is composed of six globe trotting missions, following a new take on 1995 movie plot, scripted by one of the original screenwriters, Bruce Feirstein.

MI6 Ops

This highly replayable mode wasn't in the Wii version. There are four game types, each with their own maps and objectives. You can tweak things like enemy aggression, grenade use, radar and your own health and loadout. The game will assign you a challenge rating based on your choices and grade you afterwards (for example: turning off the radar makes for a much higher challenge rating). You can then post your scores to leaderboards, and friends can take up your challenge with the push of a button.

Data Miner- Players take turns as the Data Miner, defending a computer while it downloads data. Whoever downloads the most, wins. To make things interesting, every kill the Miner gets increases the download speed. That's one way to get extra bandwidth!
