I just realized that when people mention the few games games with female leads this one doesn't come to mind. Why not? It was pretty awesome! I guess it is the genre, but I think it is a good example of a woman in a typical male role and very well executed.
I actually knew this game before the Goldeneye one, it was very entertaining. I liked the sole missions and the multiplayer was so good. I loved making my own rules, working on the challenges and having friends over to do versus or team missions. The simulators options were pretty fun too. We liked to have a peace guy annoying us randomly and the one that would seek revenge after you kill it.
