EA still hasn't gotten Bond right. It's not terrible, but it's not great.

First of all, it's pretty short. 11 missions, and not very long missions at that. The a.i. is tolerable, but the only reason the a.i. gets you is because the game throws wave after wave of them at you, not because they're actually intelligent. I breezed through the first half of the game, but then it got tedious. There's a part where you are out amongst cranes and crates trying to fight off snipers on the roofs. Problem is, you can't really see them, and there's so many of them you can't get out a shot without being torn to shreds. It's sort of like EA thought that part in Half-Life where you fight those fast ninja-like assassins was really great and they'd try knocking it off. It failed.

Mostly, the last half of the game felt like that. EA being cheap to make up for poor a.i. and me just speeding through everything I could, taking plenty of damage, but squeezing out nonetheless.

You get to drive an underwater version of the Aston Martin in the game too. It's cool for the first minute and a half, but then you have to navigate through an underwater mine field in a very tight tunnel and that's when the icky control problems really make themselves known and next thing you know KABOOM.

But there are some fun parts. The tutorial mission is actually quite good. I had a blast on the first rail shooter level, and the first vehicle driving level. The level where you fight your way down the skyscraper is intense and fun.

The multiplayer is decent, but EA's little GOOD or BAD thing is here again, as it was in The World is Not Enough for N64. This means Bond is GOOD, and so are the Bond girls, and so they cannot fight each other. Ever. The BAD players can fight each other all they want, because, you know, BAD people do that. But not GOOD. Nope. This is annoying because you get your round setup and everything, and you're like "THIS IS GONNA BE SO COOL" and then it tells you that you can't have GOOD players fighting each other. It's even worse than it was in TWINE, too, because TWINE at least had a lot of characters.

The multiplayer levels are kinda blah, too. And there's not many of them.

The bots are ok because you can alter the characterstics of the generic characters. Sadly, you can't do this for the characters you unlock which is annoying.

The gamemodes they introduced probably seemed good when they were making them, but they're not very good here. Goldeneye strike, where you collect two halves of the goldeneye key and one person is automatically struck dead, sounds pretty neat, yeah? Too bad it's kinda confusing, and the deaths are very anticlimatic. King of the Hill would be good if it had a Mobile Hill option instead of just fighting it out in one spot the whole time.

But still, there is at least an ounce of fun in here. If you like James Bond, you should get this, because it's cheap and you'll enjoy it every now and then. Or, better yet, if you want an EA Bond, get the first shooter they made, The World is Not Enough on N64. Nightfire just felt like a poorly designed version of that game(which wasn't the best itself) except with much better graphics(the graphics in Nightfire are the only thing I have no complaint about.)

This game rocks. For a new timer at James Bond game I can hounestly say it was good. Graphics were good guns perfect. What i didnt like was they only had one driving level. :( But over all it was excellent. I recommend this game.

This game is soooo cool. The graphics I give a 9.5 Weapon choices 9.9. There's so much you can do on this game. If you are alone at home and don't want to do a mission or you just feel like picking some people off with a sniper rifle by yourself, just go to multiplayer and set it up for one player. I'm an only child so I really have no one else to play this game with. When I don't deel like playing a mission I just go to multiplayer and play there. Overall I give this game a 9.9

This is one of my favriot X-box games ever! I am an avid Bond fan and have enjoyed all the games EA has put on the market over the years. This enticing first person shooter game combines action packet missions with an excelent plot line. The Guns and gadgets in this game are the best ever (in Bond Games)! But of course, there are bond girls (every guy's favriot part) and in my opinion, the best in any of the games, and movies for that matter. But Guys, please control your selves, as they are not real people (although they seem as they could be). In conclution, best game for X-box you can get for twenty bucks.

I love this game. I just finished playing it all the way through, again. The music, the little cinematic headers and trailers between each "level" are both fantastic. This games FEELS like a movie. They could make a movie about this game! I love the different weapons you have to choose from. Each weapon has it's own strengths and weaknesses.
There are different "007" bonuses you can get if you do things just the right way, but don't let that limit you. Most of the time it's more fun to do the game another way. My advice is don't even try for the "platinum" medal. First of all, I think I'm pretty good at this game and I never came close to Platinum. I don't understand how the level could be done much fater than I do them. But I'm pretty methodical and I don't like to leave an ememy alive behind me.
My only complaint is that enemies sometimes appear out of nowhere behind you, even when you're 100% positive you checked everything. I hate that. You need to be able to secure your flank or they'll just cut you to pieces.

My favorite level is the underwater car and the end underwater chase sequence. That was so hard! But exhilarating!

Buy this game, play it, love it. Be it. You won't be sorry.
