I wonder if all of the praise for GE is by people that grew up on the original. I didn't, and GE is just another CoD to me.
That's exactly how I felt with the game. I didn't grow-up playing Goldeneye on the 64 and the Wii version's multiplayer just felt like a poor-man's Call of Duty that was stripped of everything that made Call of Duty a little bit interesting. Plus it was always extremely laggy for me even with my internet connection always being the strongest in lobbies for the most part. The Single Player in Goldeneye Wii was better than Call of Duty's in my opinion though and was the only redeeming quality of the game for me. I might check out this re-release though because hopefully the online will be improved greatly, but only at a budget price.

.. Do you have the game? The game froze on me about 3 times in single player and a few times on multiplayer (mostly when I was the host). It's related to Eurocom's engine.
Did anyone NOT expect this? Activision milks every game dry and did no one think it was odd that they spent so much time and effort on a (former) exclusive?
Dead Space Extraction freezes??? never happened on my copy of the game... well there was a boss at the end of the game, that even came back with a vengance. the ending like the rest of the game was really disturbing, I love games like that...
to be fair that wii shot is uprendered to HD but that's nothing the ps/360 version couldn't do. i think the game would look much better if they had simply done just that, uprendered what was already there instead of overhauling the visuals so much, cause the new visual design doesn't have as much character. (so far, at least.)
@komicturtle92 I beat the single player and put nearly 25 hours into the multiplayer with GoldenEye Wii and it never froze on me. There are several issues that I had with the game, but it's all performance issues (can be easily felt when using higher sensitivities in character movements if you use a run-and-gun play style), friend codes, lack of host swapping,etc., that kept the game from standing with the major shooters on the more powerful platforms, but I still really enjoyed my time with the game. As a multi-console owner, having the game revamped to fix these issues to make the game even better - possibility of even better motion controls, which I'm a fan of in FPS games - is fantastic news to my ears. There is nothing wrong with a game being bettered, as the game truly showed that the Wii has aged significantly, but Eurocom did an amazing job squeezing every ounce they could out of it!
@romulux Not trying to be provocative, but the game doesn't look great on Wii and when playing the game next to another TV right beside it that is playing Crysis 2 on Xbox 360 (happened multiple times in my game room) the game looks really rough and the upgrade will look significantly better.

yeah, because even the average 360 game looks as good as Crysis 2
just like how every Wii game looks as good as Metroid Other M

Put several hundred hours into the game like those of us on the NL Goldeneye thread and you'll see plenty more problems with that, and experience your fair share of freezing. It's still a great game, but there are way too many bugs in it for me to accept that Eurocom did the best they could.
@kkslider5552000 No, but GoldenEye Wii is considered to be the premier online FPS shooter on the Wii, is it not? And, In case you missed it, I was playing GoldenEye Wii instead of Crysis 2! I'm not downing the game or Nintendo, but it's a fact that the Wii isn't as powerful as the HD systems and the game was held back because of it. I'm sure the enhanced version of the game will see light of day on Wii U as well and I've got loads of respect for Eurocom for bringing the game to a Nintendo platform exclusively for so long, as the majority of the fans that grew up with GoldenEye N64 are now playing Black Ops daily on the HD systems instead.
