And your mission is to slip inside the dangerous and debonair world of the original 007 played by none other than Sean Connery.

    A fun game that does a really good job of making you feel as if you are taking part in a classic-era Bond film. Unfortunately, the overall linearity and lack of a significant multiplayer mode ensures that this is a game that will be played through once, and then left on the shelf.

    Drive the Goldfinger DB5, fly the Thunderball jetpack and fight some classic baddies in challenging environments. It’s enough to make you toss your trilby on to a hat-rack in delight.

    An enjoyable gaming experience even though it is a rather short one. The easy difficulty takes away from some of the enjoyment of the game.

    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?

    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?

    An overly liner, repetitive action game with very little personality.

    From Russia With Love had all the makings of a Bond classic. The story was already there, along with a number of cool set pieces. Unfortunately the game forgoes any subtlety in the film in favour of OTT action sequences and barely any stealth at all (it’s there, but like everything else in the game it is rudimentary at best).

Бенефис Бондианы времен сэра Шона Коннери: тут вам и джет-пак из "Шаровой молнии" и "Aston Martin DB5" из "Голдфингера" со всеми своими приспособлениями, а подледная миссия явно отсылается на фильм "Живешь только дважды". И конечно большой радостью для меня было что Коннери сам себя озвучил, не смотря на то что голос его постарел. Прошел игру не один раз… Expand

The gameplay of this 007 is very smooth and delicious but the corpses disappear ;-; I hate it with all my might (PS2 is weak but it's not so weak as not to leave a simple corpse on the ground because there are games on PS2 that already do that!… Expand

    Normally I don't factor originality very much but From Russia with Love felt like Everything or Nothing with Sean Connery and a new jetpackNormally I don't factor originality very much but From Russia with Love felt like Everything or Nothing with Sean Connery and a new jetpack thrown in as well. That being said, it is refreshing to be a Bond other than Pierce Brosnan. The control scheme was similar to Everything or Nothing but I actually preferred Everything or Nothing's. Switching weapons and ammo's and gadgets on the pause screen gets tedious quickly. Overall it is fun, but disappointing because it feels like a downgrade of a previous game.… Expand

I enjoyed the game when played it, but I can't recommend this game. The game is too easy, especially when you upgrade you health and weapons. With "Everything or Nothing" and all the other excellent 3rd person shooters out there, there really shouldn't be any room in your collection for 007 From Russia with love.… Expand

    yet another majestic example of why EA should only stick to sporting games.
