i feel encouraged to discuss this review with the author of it: Because that's what it says above.
One of the things that suck about it is the auto-aim imo. It sucks. I don't want to play if the gun aims automatically for me. It moves like a cat. Actually that's why i don't like perfect dark, not this game. But i assume this game is like that also.

I think a certain amount of auto-aim is necessary on console shooters, because you're controlling things with a controller and not a keyboard and mouse. Perfect Dark improved on some of what GoldenEye did, but a lot of its problems were problems here first. So if you have issues with aiming in Perfect Dark, you'd have them here. I've gotten used to auto-aim in console shooters and rarely play an FPS on PC, so it's not an impossible hurdle.

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world2

Actually i just bring this up because no reviews on the two games discuss that problem with auto-aim. So i don't know if this is just my own strange opinion or not.

Well apparantly i am wrong, because it turns out auto-aim is only on the first difficulty. And very little of it on the next difficulty. And none of it on the next difficulty. So if you play this game the way it's meant to be played it's no auto-aim.
With both games.
