This places us in a truly unusual situation where a game released on the weakest of the current generation consoles and that was dubbed a reimagining of a game from 14 years ago that itself was based on a film from 16 years ago, is being remade on the two more powerful consoles. And going head-to-head with Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3.
For what it's worth Goldeneye 007 was reasonably well-received on the Wii with a metacritic score of 81. Although the Wii game has shifted a respectable 1.2 million units, it has done so in the notably uncrowded Wii market so it will be interesting to see how it performs sales-wise on the Xbox 360 and PS3.
Those interested in checking out the Wii game can pick it up for a bargain £9.95 from Shopto.net.
