I'm making a new topic for this game since it is out now and is no longer speculation.
I have just finished playing through it, and it took me about 6 hours, but I was on the easiest difficulty. I would have to say that it was not the worst shooter I have played, but it is not what comes to mind when I think GoldenEye.
There are 4 difficulty, with the last one being called 007 Classic, where you don't regenerate health, but rely on a health bar and armor. I have yet to try it, but considering I found the easiest difficulty frustrating, I don't know how far I will get
All the levels are complete linear with no option on what order you play things in. Characters look nothing like how they did in the film, and the plot twists and turns its fucking rediclious. For example, after you do Archives, Streets, and a Depot/Train combined level, you do Statue. There was also a level that you go into Valintines club, and Xenia kills him but you get the blame.
Multiplayer on the other hand I found fun. The options that you can set up make for some interesting matches (Having if you stop, you explode and if you touch another player, you explode on at the same time is good times).
Overall it is a good game for the Wii. Graphics are alright. There are just 2 things that bugged me. One was when I was in Statue, there were section that random glow sticks were on the ground, for lighting which instantly reminded me of GES. The other was the look of the Cradle. Fucking flugly and annoying.
