 The best game - Bond wise | |
| I downloaded the demo, and all I can say for this game is "Wow." The only complaint I have is my own PC, which is a P3 700Mhz 512MB RAM. Despite it's slowness, the game runs OK. It's still very hard to control the mouse, but I kill guys anyways. I will be buying this game when I get my new computer which will get rid of the glitches. Even if there's no blood, the gameplay makes up for it. There's nothing funner than sniping a guy in the back of the head and they can't even see you. The damage control is good, you pick up vests to get full health again. I have a 32MB video card, and the graphics aren't all that great, since I use it at the lowest resolution. I've seen the graphics on a computer, they're insane, so smooth, so I won't mark it down because of my piece of junk. Overall it's 4/5 stars. If they made it a tad bit faster on 700Mhz it would be nice :) | |
| PC Version a good game but not great | |
| Despite the horrible reviews given by most magazines I really enjoyed the game on the PC. I don't have an x-box so the fact that the driving is missing didn't affect me at all. Overall the game is a lot of fun, with cool environments, sexy women and very Bond-ish plot. There were some complaints about the lack of weapon variety but in reality you find whatever is the newest biggest baddest weapon the enemies are using (so you can take their ammo) and use it so variety is no big deal. The goods: Level design - the sets felt like a Bond movie with a megalomanic bent on taking over the world after he has built all these secret bases filled with huge areas. I think my favorite was going down the staircase from the 34th floor of the skyscraper not knowing who is behind the door to each floor or waiting on the stairs. Babes - About time some good-looking women were shown with a little sexyness, use the glasses on them in x-ray mode to see a little cheescake. Gadgets - this is what set the Bond game apart, I started it as a straight shooter, but using the glasses is a major upgrade to play. Using the x-ray to see through the door and know where to aim before opening it, use the infrared to spot hidden enemies a long way away. The bads - aiming...the weapons are amazingly bad shots or perhaps its the amount of damage the enemies can take. I can put 50 bullets into a guy from far away and he is still plugging me. You basically have to get close to get them efficiently. Enemy AI - which brings up the one really bad part of it, the enemies are pretty sad. They can spot you instantly if you get within a certain trigger range, no matter what you do. They seem to be much better shots with their weapons than you are (allthough that may just be me). They tend to act a little goofy, jumping back and forth and yelling things that don't make sense. But overall I really recommend this game. Its so much more fun and a totally different feel than some hyper-realistic terror game like splinter cell or ghost recon or some of those. Just a lot of fun for when you want to feel like Bond. | |
 EA fails again and again with James Bond Games | |
| Wow this game is so cheaply made its not even funny. I can tell u right now, that the old half life is better then this. The guns reload and during the reloading finish abruptly. If u get what i mean. He is putting a shell in the barrol and the gun cuts to his hand.The graphics suck. The sniping is soooo bad. Please show me a sniper rifle with no kick back, and no light that comes out of the barrel when u shoot. The missions are lame and boring. Goldeneye by rare was the best cause rare knew what people wanted in there james bond games. Shoot em up games. Thats what it was and thats why it sold well. This by EA is an excuse to make a james bond title. The voice over of pierce Brosman is so bad, it sounds like a guy that is constipated. Its not voiced over in other word. Its some random guy they got to play the voice of him. The fun value? not very fun, but i can tell u that u will laugh at the people who paid 50$ for this game when it came out. EA please stick to games that u can actually make well. such as the sims games. Dont make FPS games, u suck at making them. Questions? im me at Kilik327 on aim or its_a_wooden_pickle on yahoo messenger. |
