This game is fun, but violent. Like you can take hostages while you're moving across the hall. There is no blood

More on GoldenEye Rogue Agent
What’s the Story?
GOLDENEYE ROGUE AGENT casts players as a disgraced double-0 operative, responsible for the accidental death of England's most famous secret agent. Turned out by the government, you find a new career among James Bond's biggest nemeses, who have bonded together to form a syndicate of evil. When the series' original crook, Dr. No, decides to pursue his own diabolical plan, you are sent to eliminate the threat to the new organization and bring accord to the group of diverse criminal masterminds.
You embark on an around-the-world killing spree, firing an array of weapons from both hands to dispatch Dr. No's plentiful minions. A high-tech fake eye gives players some limited, and mostly useless, superpowers, such as seeing through walls.
Is It Any Good?
It's too bad the game fails to capture the big personalities of the Bond baddies, instead delivering a disappointing, by-the-numbers shooter that just barely manages to be fun. The things that have made the Bond franchise successful for so long -- creative gadgets, wry humor, a sense of style, and clever solutions to desperate predicaments -- are totally absent.
Despite the techno soundtrack and slick presentation, GoldenEye Rogue Agent offers very little beyond pulse-pounding battles with a seemingly endless horde of semi-intelligent enemies. It is worth noting that you can wound an enemy and use his body as a human shield. Overall, while the fast-paced, frenetic, and bloodless firefights can be fun, they underscore the sad truth about the game: GoldenEye Rogue Agent uses the Bond label only to distract from the fact that it has little more to offer than killing and explosions. Even Bond's greatest rivals have more pride than that.

Great game
Here we go for the seventh time. Goldeneye rouge agent is a great shooter. Violence: Lots of shootings no blood but a large number of deaths. Language: Nothing bad at all. Social behaviour Drugs and sex: You are an ex agent who killed 007 and gets blamed for it so goes to join forces of evil. You go to a casino a little bit of drinking and smoking. No sex but gives you a clue at the end that there is going to be. Message. Incredibly bad you are an evil guy who kills everyone you see (including your team mates) a very good game.

Pretty good. Given too few stars.
This game didn't get many good reviews, but I like it. Sure it gets repetitive, clearly ripped off Halo, and has next to nothing to do with the movie, but the multiplayer is fun when you have three friends with you, or online. Also, though the person who reviewed this game got upset because your on the bad side, you never actually do anything paticularly evil. You just shoot people, and it's a shooter, so what did you expect? Plus, your fighting other badguys, so what's the big deal? Can't really recomend it over better games out there, but if your too young to play Halo than it's a fair substitute. Seriously, only two stars? Game Party 2 got four, for goodness sake! Game's don't have to be E rated to be good. Geez.

Great Game!!!!!!!
this game has no blood, no gore and nonudity. Rogue Agent has u employed by Auric Goldfinger an original Bond Villian fighting Dr. No and his thugs. Good story, good controls, great multiplayer and appropriate for 10 and up.

better than halo 2
This game is a resemblence of halo 2 but with no blodd, gore and no suggestive themes. Still the game is for kids 11 and up for one reason, young kids that play these games atart to act like they are shooting a gun at somebody, so be cautious
