→Full runs
Single-segment runs have also been attempted. Single-segment runs of GE are ranked [http://www.angelfire.com/vt2/Vulpex/Brooklyn/SpeedRunRankings.html here] alongside similar records for [[Perfect Dark]]. There are six categories for these: runs can be through [[Agent]], [[Secret Agent]] or [[00 Agent]] and each of these can be timed using the in-game timer or in real time. On Agent the run counts the levels from [[Dam]] to [[Cradle]] only; on SA, [[Aztec]] is also included; on 00A, Aztec and [[Egyptian]] are included.

Strategies in full runs are different from individual level runs because you don't have the luxury of multiple attempts (multiple attempts are ''allowed'', but the time just keeps adding on). Swift but safe strategies are preferable to one-in-a-thousand shots - of course as with all time trials, one may benefit from getting the start exactly right as little time is wasted upon retrying this part to get it just right. The [[Dam]] especially, being the first level, can be easily replayed. As well as being fun, full runs provide a better judge of ''consistent'' playing ability and global game knowledge.

Swift but safe strategies are preferable to one-in-a-thousand shots - of course as with all time trials, one may benefit from getting the start exactly right as little time is wasted upon retrying this part to get it just right. If you replay the first level, the [[Dam]], in order to get your best of 10 tries, you may be able to shave off a few seconds from you overall time. If you replay after [[Control]] (the whole thing) to get your best of an average of 10 times to get the same amount of seconds shaved off... that is clearly a bad prospect. As well as being fun, full runs provide a better judge of ''consistent'' playing ability and global game knowledge.
