    For a Nintendo DS game, this title has much to offer and persuades with the usual charm of James Bond.

    n-Space takes the rather generic framework of Blood Stone and turns it into a thrilling Bond experience, through gameplay innovation and old fashioned ingenuity.

    It may not have the nostalgic name of the other new Bond game, but Blood Stone manages to outshine its sibling on DS through strong storytelling and stronger combat.

    The multiplayer might not be the best, but the game is a fun third-person shooter throughout. If you enjoy portable shooters, Blood Stone is worth playing.

    Blood Stone DS can be considered even better than the versions of the HD consoles and PC.

    An accomplished DS game with a great story, if you can deal with the shaky driving sections. [Christmas 2010, p.72]

    It's a flawed game, but a fun flawed game.

    James Bond 007: Blood Stone has its flaws, some of which would be damning if this was a $60 Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 game, but it's a good way to get a fix if you're a shooter fan on the go.

    With so much effort going into presentation, it seems like more could have been spent on tweaking the game mechanics.

    This is a basic third-person shooter with really clunky controls. [Issue#56, p.70]

Not too bad as a whole, but compared to the likes of the Syphon Filter games on the PSP it's a bit shoddy.… Full Review »
