This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
GoldenEye 007 Reloaded for PlayStation 3
GoldenEye 007 Reloaded for PlayStation 3 is a first-person shooter reinterpreting the familiar Bond story with Daniel Craig as the secret agent. You investigate the threat surrounding the GoldenEye weapon and receive missions in which guards, security and heavily armed opponents block your path. The story uses recognisable foundations from GoldenEye, but this is not a literal copy of the Nintendo 64 game. Characters, missions and presentation have been adapted to this later portrayal of Bond.
You can approach sections of a mission carefully and take down guards silently, or try to advance through a firefight. Alongside the campaign, MI6 Ops Missions provide separate assignments based on assault, elimination, stealth and defence. This also lets you choose a shorter challenge without completing an entire story chapter each time. You aim with a standard PS3 controller; PlayStation Move support is an additional control option and does not make those accessories compulsory for the campaign.
You play the story alone. In local matches, up to four players can compete on a split screen, with one controller per person. These matches are separate from the story and let you battle friends or housemates directly on the same PS3. The MI6 challenges also provide individual objectives for times when you want to practise without other players.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 3 games are European editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
The manual is missing from this copy of GoldenEye 007 Reloaded for PlayStation 3. That is why the product title says “No Manual”. You receive the game in its box, without the instruction booklet. This makes the contents clear before you order.
The original printed manual usually contains at least English and often around six European languages. The languages vary by edition; Dutch is not always included. This information describes the original booklet and does not mean that it comes with this copy. A copy with a manual is offered separately when available.
The history of GoldenEye 007 Reloaded
Eurocom developed GoldenEye 007 Reloaded for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360; Activision released it in 2011. The project built on the new GoldenEye interpretation Eurocom had created for Wii in 2010. Reloaded received a different technical foundation and a presentation for HD consoles. The PS3 release was therefore an expansion of that later Bond game, not simply the original Nintendo 64 software at a higher image resolution.
The creators retained the decision to place Daniel Craig in the GoldenEye story. This enabled a reinterpretation of the film's story rather than merely a look back at Pierce Brosnan's Bond. New MI6 Ops Missions added separate challenges alongside the story campaign. Players could revisit locations and combat assignments with a clearly defined objective. PlayStation 3 also received support for PlayStation Move and its associated Sharp Shooter attachment.
Local split-screen play remained part of Reloaded, alongside the online matches announced at the time. That local option forms a clear connection with GoldenEye's history as a game played together. The campaign and separate challenges also give the release an independent side. For this second-hand copy, the missing manual is a product characteristic; it does not change which PS3 campaign is on the disc or add a special edition or extra accessories.
Similar games for PlayStation 3
007 Quantum of Solace on PlayStation 3 also offers Bond action through the eyes of Daniel Craig's agent. It switches to third person when taking cover and adapts two other films. GoldenEye 007 Reloaded reinterprets the GoldenEye story and adds separate MI6 challenges and local split-screen matches to its campaign.
James Bond 007: Blood Stone on PlayStation 3 follows the same portrayal of Bond, but tells an original story in third person. Its driving scenes are also playable. GoldenEye 007 Reloaded focuses on first-person shooting and a new interpretation of GoldenEye. Local matches also give it a different role alongside its solo main story.
Call of Duty: Black Ops on PlayStation 3 shares the alternation between espionage, story revelations and first-person shooting. Its military campaign uses the Cold War as its backdrop and features a different cast. GoldenEye 007 Reloaded stays with Bond and also lets you attempt focused MI6 challenges, with a different balance between stealthy approaches and direct combat.
Killzone 3 on PlayStation 3, like Reloaded, supports both a standard controller and optional PlayStation Move controls. It is a military science-fiction shooter with different weapons, enemies and locations. GoldenEye uses recognisable espionage missions and lets local players compete against one another. Killzone 3 instead has a separate option for two people to complete its campaign locally.
The Bourne Conspiracy on PlayStation 3 also lets you unravel a conspiracy as a secret agent and approach opponents quietly or directly. Its third-person perspective and prominent fistfights give Bourne a more physical combat system. GoldenEye 007 Reloaded mainly uses firearms through Bond's eyes and expands on this with MI6 assignments and local multiplayer matches.
