magister bought Legens as we both love Goldeneye, and it's rare we find games we both like.

We're still playing Goldeney, I got to mission 3 in Legends and decided it sucked more than a sucky thing with an extra vacuum attachment. The ski race inspired by OHMSS is a truly awful bit that a) requires you to race after people in a badly implemented skiing thing b) has changed the controls away from your settings so that speed up/run is completely different and c) doesn't tell you it's done it. 5 attempts at losing before I even found the right button, no indication of hwat I was doing wrong. Even when I figured it out, it was a godawful mission, so I gave up.
