Dench, Bondian music and story, film-like structure and cut-scenes, exotic locales, chases on foot and in various vehicles, huge explosions...). The system of shooting from cover is done well and you can aim covered, pretty effectively shoot "blindly" with just weapon showing, vault across small covers and stealthily take down enemies from such covers. There is enough weapons to mix things up (pistols, shotguns, sub-machine guns, assault rifles, snipers, grenade launchers...) and your trusty smart-phone is really smart (it tracks enemies, shows you the intel and way-points if you are lost, hacks terminals...). The race/chase levels are exciting and also arcade-like in their simplicity but that's the main source of fun here: even if you have almost no shooting, driving and sneaking skills, you will almost effortlessly achieve Bond-like feats of super-spy mastery - and that's not a small thing.… Expand

    Not a bad game.Single player campaign is good,but ordinary. The system of shooter is like Splinter Cell: Conviction.And the chase stage is very excited.

    FUN gameplay. This game seems like a dumb downed Splinter Cell, but that means you have a lot of fast paced action. The graphics are passable, but some textures look poor. This game really captures the James Bond style of beating people up with melee attacks. The car chases are a great addition.

    "James Bond 007: Blood Stone" is one great game created by Activision. Sure, the story and gameplay is very linear and the third person camera may be groggy, but the beautiful graphics and awesome melee combat covers the gaps for the game. The voice acting is terrific, and the car chase actions are just **** awesome. A must play for everyone, kindergardners and Bond fans alike!!!

    A little too short, but passable. Fun gameplay, but nothing outstanding really; just another cover based third person shooter. One would have hoped that a 007 game featuring Daniel Craig would have a story to match the CraigBond movies, but it's more Brosnanesque in cheesiness.

    This game is a good game. Graphics, sounds. Looks like than Sprintel Cell with Daniel Craig and it's soo good. I don't remember the movie, but the game story is okay.

    007 Blood Stone is not just a sequel from the James Bond game series. I admit that I am a Bond fan nevertheless the first game in the series - Quantum of Solace achieved no professional standards in my opinion. Compared with the first release - the 2010 sequel made a quantum leap. The Bond game series achieved a whole new level with amazing surroundings and exiting game play.

    Blood Stone is not going to blow your mind with anything new and you'll breeze through the short campaign quickly but no other Bond game has come this close to replicating the action of the films, and that's exactly what you play a Bond game for in the first place.

It probably got the proper reviews as a new game for $60 in 2010. But prices change and graphics quality is all relative. As a cheap used game it is certainly worth a play through. Had this game came out 4 years earlier it would have been considered a AAA title.

    The cinematics and scripted events are beautiful. The driving really fun. The stealth and shooting so-so. The models and faces not so great. Original actors doing the voices, Judy Dench and Daniel Craig. They also give the graphics a cool grainy film effect that gives it a unique cinematic look.

    I gotta be honest, as a Bond fan I found myself playing this game several times over just to see an original story, hear the music and geek out on Bond. Takes just a few hours even at the hardest difficulty.

    I appreciate how the now defunct developer tried to make something other than a boring FPS clone. They were heading in the right direction, unfortunately Activision just couldn't give it the love it deserved. They followed this up with uninspired CoD clones Golden Eye, which was just alright, and Legends which was laughable.

    If you are a Bond fan, like video games and have proper expectations this game is definitely worth picking up cheap. If getting the PC version be sure to max out the graphic settings.    … Expand

    При всей своей не любви к Бондиане эпохи Даниала Крейга, вынужден признать что это лучшая игра о Бонде с его участием. Очень напомнила серию Uncharted, на которую явно разработчики из Bizarre Creations явно равнялись. Жаль что Activision, после этой игры ничего лучше не придумали, чем закрыть эту студию.При всей своей не любви к Бондиане эпохи Даниала Крейга, вынужден признать что это лучшая игра о Бонде с его участием.

    It's full of satisfying melee combat, signature Bond moments, great cover combat, pretty visuals and awesome driving sequences. It does feature that classic Bond mood to a point and is definitely worth a play through for single player experience.
