Control style

While GoldenEye doesn't allow for full customization of its controls it does allow the players to chose from eight predefined control styles. The styles change the functions of the control pad, control stick, C buttons, and the controller's six other buttons.

Single Controller Styles

Single controller setups are designed to be played with a hand on the center grip and the other hand on one of the outer grips. While having a hand on the right grip is the most popular setup all of these styles are designed to be playable using either configuration.
