    This game is not nearly as bad as most people think it is. The core gameplay is solid and performs very well on PC. This might be due to the rubbish graphics, but there are some very nice set pieces throughout the game that actually impressed me. I like the weapon animations, sound effects, and fan service. The voice acting is great and the likeliness of each of the villains are great.This game is not nearly as bad as most people think it is. The core gameplay is solid and performs very well on PC.

The voice acting is great and the likeliness of each of the villains are great.

    The PC controls are where the real problems can be found. Mouse acceleration is permanently switched on, so I sometimes struggle to turn around without doing a complete 360 spin. This coupled with the lack of graphics options upset me.

    Still, the game has it's moments of greatness and it's nice to re-visit some of the locales from the classic films as well as the new films. It's good, but held back by its console roots.    … Expand

    I played it on the ps3, and it was fine. There is nothing to talk about really. If you see it on the street, pick it up its worth that at the very least.

    This game it self is pretty good, but it's a horrible PC port, with no graphic setting what so ever. Add that to a clunky control system, you got a pretty decent game ruined by all the technical issues.

    It is a comparitively good game compared to Quantum of Solace. Great way of taking cover which allows you to move freely. Nice gameplay but not so great a graphics but its story line is interesting. Not many glitches that can be found but Unbiased One is really ridiculous though.

    The game is not really a lot of trouble. I do not understand why so much scolding.
    Pros
    - 5 Classic James Bond movie
    - Engrossing gameplay
    Cons
    and lots of boring parts
    - One or two shocks can die
    - Stealth is easy to discover

    It's a console game... what do you expect, for it to be good? Isn't possible. At least it didn't have eny trouble being uninstalled, so that at least earns it some points.

    I resent the fact that this game's score is so low solely because people who review games have no middle ground. Games are either great or terrible, and this game isn't either. At its best and its worst, it's merely "fine". If this is *actually* the worst game you've ever played, I envy you.

    The story is too disjointed and doesn't spend enough time with any of the films it's based on,    I resent the fact that this game's score is so low solely because people who review games have no middle ground.

    The story is too disjointed and doesn't spend enough time with any of the films it's based on, but the sound and voice acting is as good as you could ask for, while the graphics are good. Not amazing, but similarly not as bad as it's panned for for absolutely no reason. The gunplay is good too, even the largely-pointless XP mechanics, unskippable cutscenes and overexaggerated poor AI are whatever. It's the driving, melee combat sections and jumping mechanics added to GoldenEye's base that brings it down most.

    What irritates me most are reviews of GoldenEye and Legends that call it a clone of Call Of Duty. It's not. First person shooters began to refine themselves into the "gun in the corner with radar and checkpoint system" formula around the turn of the century. Just because CoD4 in 2007 was a huge success that everyone wanted to capitalise on, doesn't make every single FPS since then a clone aiming to be just like Call Of Duty. To say these games are alike is a level of incompetence that's only made more obvious when you actually play both games. I used to be in the camp that they were clones, up until the moment I felt IW Engine the first time. They're nothing alike at all. IW is so much smoother, and in the CoD ethos, is about teamwork and objectives like placing explosives on an enemy vehicle impeding progress. Bond's games aren't, and Eurocom's in-house EngineXT, versatile as it was, doesn't feel anywhere near as smooth and focuses on being a one man army (except for one level, where working alongside others is a breath of fresh air).

    Frankly, for the rush job forced upon them, Eurocom did a good job with it. The PC port is a mess, but the game itself is just "fine". In the Bond series alone, they'd previously made TWINE 64, NightFire and GoldenEye Wii/Reloaded. A poor business decision and unfairly scathing reviews didn't deserve to kill the company.    … Expand

    Why put yourself through this ordeal, when there are so much better games out there? Don’t waste your time with this monstrosity… [December 2012]

    007 Legends greets you with a warning that Activision will not support the game's multiplayer servers if there is not enough interest. Was there any interest, really?
