    From Russia With Love isn't the most challenging or in-depth game in the world, however what it lacks in both of these categories it more than makes up for by simply being a highly entertaining and authentically cinematic shoot'em-up game.

    There are predictable missteps--the driving sequences are awkward and twitchy, and the camera doesn't always behave itself--but on the whole, From Russia With Love is a convincing and enjoyable ride on the sixties Bond rollercoaster.

    When we look back on it the levels in "Everything or Nothing" bordered on great. In comparison, some of Russia's missions are longer, but generally they're average in design and effect.

    In an effort to appeal to a wide range of gamers the gameplay is less than difficult. It's a lot less than difficult but it's not so much challenging as it is meant to be entertaining. Do I have to bring up the phrase "interactive movie" again?
  5. N-Europe

    Lacks the appeal of picking up and playing all the way through and sticks too close to the safety of the established third person shooter concept that has been in place for way too long now.
  6. GameSpot
    70
    A game of enjoyable moments that are, unfortunately, far too easy to breeze through.

    It's harmless mass-market entertainment; the kind that any discerning gamer should already know to leave well alone. [Christmas 2005, p.116]

    Seriously, this is the best Bond game yet. It's bananas - Connery, jetpack, Aston Martin, crazy guns. 10 out of 10 - NO DOUBT!

    From Russia With Love is the third-best Bond game ever! The first being James Bond 007: Nightfire for the Nintendo GameCube, and the secondFrom Russia With Love is the third-best Bond game ever! The first being James Bond 007: Nightfire for the Nintendo GameCube, and the second being James Bond 007: Nightfire for the PC. Finally there's a Bond game with Sean Connery, instead of Daniel Craig all the time. This game has everything required for the perfect game. It has jet packs, the Aston Martin DB5, Q Copters, a flawless aiming system, a remarkable replayability rate, a wide range of weapons, an amazing multiplayer play, and the best thing, of course, is Sean Connery as Bond. I don't have any idea how this game could get any better; besides if Sean Connery, himself, played it with you.… Expand

Although Connery's voice isn't quite as young as it used to be, using him as voice talent for the game was a great move on EA's part. Connery adds authenticity to this game which also features excellent gameplay, controls, sound effects, and storyline. Capures the aura of 1960's Russia perfectly. There are many weapons and gadgets that can be upgraded as well. Superb game.… Expand
