The game is based on the titular 1995 movie, marking the debut of Pierce Brosnan as James Bond. Goldeneye 007 was acclaimed for its multiplayer modes and the benchmark that is set for FPS gaming. Even though the game was a critical success globally, the game remained banned in Germany for the last 25 years.

Following some changes in the Federal Center for Child and Youth Media Protection, Goldeneye 007 has been removed from the classification of the “Media Harmful to Young Persons” list.
