GoldenEye Wii: classic tank level billed as 'epic'

Remember the tank level in the N64 version of GoldenEye? It has been recreated for Wii and Activision has told ONM that it will be "epic".

In an interview that appears in the July issue of ONM, Studio Development Manager Tim Coupe went into further detail on the game's vehicles.

"The tank level is epic to say the least," said Coupe. "There's helicopter combat throughout the levels and trucks with varying levels of destructibility."

This may cause you problems when you're fighting on foot in a multi-player game. "Our environments are also built for destruction," explains Coupe. "Your cover degrades as it gets shot, forcing the player to move around and not simply camp out in one spot."

The tank sequence isn't the only N64 level that's been re-imagined for Wii. As David G Wilson, Vice President of Global Business Strategy at Bond Marketing, told ONM "There are certain iconic sequences that we all felt should be in the game, so yes, there are some of those moments. Also, let's not forget that David Arnold handled all of the music for the game, which adds another level of authenticity."
