    The game was absolutely one of the best James Bond game EA has ever made. This game was addicting, and just plain fun. There are so many weapon and gadget upgrades that the replay value for this is tremendous.

    This game captures Bond at his best. 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.

    From 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.

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

    From Russia With Love is amazing from start to finish. There is no a single dull moment. The gameplay responds perfectly and the difficulty is just right. It also has a lot of levels. There is not a single thing I have against this game.

  1. Despite the missteps, the whole of FRWL satisfies with a combination of excellent graphics, (literally) jazzy tunes, and varied gameplay.

    At the end of the day, it has quite a compelling story and where else are you going to hear Sean Connery in a videogame.
  3. 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.
