I completely agree that Goldeneye deserves to be high on the list, but what about Perfect Dark 64? I see Perfect Dark as an improvement on Goldeneye…..It’s everything that was right with Goldeneye with the addition of unique weapons and a unique story.

What about Battlefield 2? I think that would be classified as one of the best FPS.

Battlefield 2 is a little underrated..

Since you said ‘EVER’ I am genuinely surprised that DOOM 2 wasn’t on your list. In its day it was the best FPS you could buy! In my opinion, it was far far better than DOOM3. The designers decided that fancy graphics were far more important than game play when designing DOOM3 and it shows in my opinion – I actually found the game boring. DOOM 2 gets my ‘all time best’ vote . . . but hell, I am an old git!

This is definitely the best shooter for the Nintendo 64 system. An honorable mention is Goldeneye 007, but Perfect Dark is a far and distant FIRST! If u are a gamer and u already have done everything there is to do in Goldeneye, there is none more superior than Perfect Dark. Not even the PC has FPS that rival the ideas of this great shooter! It came too late in the N64 life cycle but if u want competition and skill, look no further. This is complex. It has the type of weapons YOU didn’t know u wanted. Each weapon has a secondary function. On consoles, this was the height of FPS, then the industry started over with hype and the unrevolutionary Halo. U could disarm enemy’s and shoot them with it! A lot of people only want minimal gameplay in their games so they immediately give Goldeneye the nod. i like Goldeneye, but i also keep it real because overall i like FPS games in general.
