''Goldeneye'' was one of the first FPS's to let the player do different amounts of damage depending on what part of the body and what side of the body you attack. Stealth was also encouraged by letting the player shoot security cameras and alarms. There were also cheats available if the player managed to beat the level within a certain time limit.

Perhaps the most popular feature of ''Goldeneye'' is its multiplayer. Players can choose from 31 characters (only 12 are unlockable at first), 11 arenas, and several weapon sets. The modes of play include Normal (the typical death match), You Only Live Twice (death match with two lives), The Living Daylights (hold the flag the longest), The Man with the Golden Gun (Death match with a gun that kills with one shot), and License to Kill (all attacks kill in one hit).
