To get full impressions, I started by using a standard Switch Pro Controller, which does not translate well for any Nintendo 64 game. Jumping over to the Switch version, I immediately felt the strain of using the classic single-stick controls and full-screen controls (thankfully, there is a widescreen option in the in-game menu on Bond's watch). The Xbox version is the version I will fire up when I'm looking to dig into the single-player of GoldenEye 007. Using the modernized control scheme, I was able to blast through the first few levels on 00 Agent, even unlocking my first cheat (interestingly enough, the Xbox version retains the name "DK Mode," despite the not-so-subtle reference to the Nintendo-owned Donkey Kong).
I'm honestly shocked at how good GoldenEye feels on Xbox. It's impossible to overstate just how far being able to aim and turn with the right stick while moving with the left stick goes into making this 25-year-old title feel much less aged. The most significant selling point for me is how well the Xbox version plays, thanks to the modern control scheme that utilizes both analog sticks, much like nearly every modern shooter.
The game runs smoothly for the most part and looks terrific at full widescreen resolution (though I did notice a few frame rate drops from time to time). As advertised, the Xbox version does bring several advancements to make GoldenEye 007 play better than ever before.
