  1. Games are something you play, films are something you watch. Unfortunately for EoN there are too many films and not enough game.
  2. Fun in the short-term and has ambition, but there's not enough innovation to get excited about, or warrant re-playing what is a lengthy franchise title.

    It's perhaps because the title benefits from such a high production spend … that the average design and execution becomes more pronounced. [Mar 2004, p.101]

    With just as many levels where you'll pray for it to be over than where you're actually having fun, the game turns out to be a mixture of styles that don't meld together as solidly as they should, as well as having several frustrating joypad-throwing moments and often demanding extraordinary feats of memory from the player. [Mar 2004, p.114]

You go on a bike, in a car, helicopter, and a tank in the first 5 or 6 levels. The gadgets r great.
    But it eventually gets extremely hard.
    The graphics r good and the levels fun anough u want 2 do them again (and u can). The multiplayer is a bit dissapointing but is fun if u can actually do it.

The lock on aiming felt like an improvement over Nightfire's clumsy first person mechanics. The fighting is pretty well done. It is simple enough that you can usually accomplish your counter attacks and strikes. The multiplayer is only good for two people. The co-op campaign is great, the death matches are awful.

    Great action oriented bond game, but a little tone deaf and not as good as goldeneye.
