GoldenEye: Rogue Agent is a first-person shooter for Nintendo DS developed by EA Tiburon. The player takes the role of an ex-MI6 agent Jack Hunter, who is recruited by Auric Goldfinger to assassinate his rival Dr. No. Several other characters from the Bond series make appearances throughout the game, including Pussy Galore, Oddjob, Xenia Onatopp and Francisco Scaramanga. The game is notable for being a fairly faithful recreation of its console counterpart despite hardware limitations and also for having its original game engine repurposed for a prototype build for the unreleased Halo DS.
