    The biggest indictment against From Russia With Love, however, is that it makes the whole experience of being Bond seem about as much fun as an afternoon spent at a stamp-collecting convention, which is something 007 should never stand accused of. It's dull, banal, boring and any other adjectives that can be used to describe a game unworthy of your attention.

    It’s harmless mass-market entertainment; the kind that any discerning gamer should already know to leave well alone. [Christmas 2005, p.116]

    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).

It is a faithful adaptation with mechanics borrowed from "Everything or Nothing". You can unlock plenty of content including bonus levels, playable characters, videos and classic costumes. The game pays homage to the entire Connery era of Bond. There are driving levels, stealth attacks and jetpack moments. A lot went into making the game feel authentic to the retro years of 007. But overall, it's not as exciting as you'd like for it to be. Still, this is good enough for action fans. I would rate this with a 7.5 out of 10.… Full Review »

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!… Full Review »
