Going where no previous James BondTM game has dared to tread, the upcoming GoldenEye: Rogue AgentTM first-person shooter from Electronic Arts breaks all the rules by transporting players to the dark side of the Bond universe to experience life as a high-rolling, cold-hearted villain. The highly anticipated game is scheduled to ship later this year on the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, the Xbox® video game system from Microsoft, and the Nintendo GameCubeTM under the EA GAMESTM brand.
As an aspiring 00 agent dismissed from MI6 for reckless brutality, the player is hired as an enforcer by Auric Goldfinger, the wealthy super-villain with a lust for all things gold. Goldfinger is locked in a ruthless war against his archenemy, the brilliant scientist Dr. No. The prize is control of the world"s greatest criminal organization. A brutal encounter with Dr. No costs the player an eye, but Goldfinger"s technicians replace it with a gold-hued, synthetic eye, earning the player the name "GoldenEye". Players have the ability to customize and upgrade their villain persona and wreak havoc as they make their unrelenting rise through the ranks.
