    I Really enjoyed this game,nothing revolutionary,but it was really fun,the takedowns are awsome the gun play is not bad,weapons all look and sound very realistic,animations are good,graphics are also good not amazing but good,the car chase levels really help mix things up and are done really well,they are pretty short but they leave you wanting more,the storyline is classic bond,it feelsI Really enjoyed this game,nothing revolutionary,but it was really fun,the takedowns are awsome the gun play is not bad,weapons all look and sound very realistic,animations are good,graphics are also good not amazing but good,the car chase levels really help mix things up and are done really well,they are pretty short but they leave you wanting more,the storyline is classic bond,it feels like it was ripped straight from the big screen and could just as easily be put straight up there as well,music is all bondish and works well,multiplayer might at most extend the games 6 hour play time by an hour ,but there,s not much online to keep you comming back,exspecially with games like black ops out.I would say pick it up if you are a bond fan,and enjoyed games like splinter cell conviction.Im on my second play through now and still enjoying it:) Expand

    Thanks to "74656a" and "Whoseanegamer" for their reviews that made me buy this game. I was amazed by the amount of bad reviews out there and as they said, this game is far from bad! I have nothing to add to their comments but to say that I have as much enjoyment in playing this game than in Uncharted 2, Batman Arkham Asylum and Splinter Cell Conviction.

The cover system is very well managed and if you're afraid by the length of this game and like challenges, start it in "Agent" mode. You won't be deceived : Bond can only endure 3 bullets max. Have a nice day! Expand

    To put it briefly, I'd say that James Bond - Bloodstone deserves a 10 from me. Why? Because it's good fun. The story is enjoyable, the action is great, especially the stealth, and it can be challenging at times, especially on harder difficulties. It tries to be moderately original, and doesn't overload on gadgets. Go buy it if you like Bond games; this one's good.

    Although the game is little slow to start off with, after it's start the game is an absolute blast! I enjoyed most of the game after that. The driving is great fun and the game play is good. Although it is slightly generic at times, the game is great fun!

    Solid 9 for effort. I gave it ten to balance out the user score. Didnt expect much from this movie tie in. Pleasantly surprised. Very pretty, cinematic. Reminds me of the jason bourne game. The vehicle sections are handled well given the games developed by the people behind Project Gotham Racing series, you'd expect no less. I'd strongly suggest playing at the hardest difficulty settingSolid 9 for effort. I gave it ten to balance out the user score. Didnt expect much from this movie tie in. Pleasantly surprised.

    Best bond game since Goldeneye

    Blood stone is incredibly satisfying, as the driving is incredible, sneak missions feel excellent, and some of the combat can get intense. At the start I down right hated the controls but I quickly got used to them and I had some of the best 5 hours I ever had. The online is decent, but can't compete with the likes of Call of Duty.

    This was the 2nd Bond game to come out after Goldeneye Reloaded, with a different story, gameplay, and driving sections. Its not better than the recent Goldeneye Reloaded, but its a good one at least.

    Blood stone is probably the best james bond game I've played since Everything or Nothing on the ps2. It's got solid shooting mechanics, a well done melee system, as well as vehicular set-pieces (which I thought could have been more of). The story itself could have been made into a full length bond film. I've probably beaten this game so many times to the point where I just lost count.

    I really don't understand as to why every critic bashed this game. Even though Activision published the game, the game is absolutely nothing like Call of Duty. It's a third-person shooter that controls, feels, looks, and plays nicely. I'm not a huge fan of the 007 films, but this game is heavily underrated probably because this game isn't like the original Goldeneye on the N64.

For one thing, it's not really based on any specific movie, but this shouldn't be a problem for anyone. The multiplayer, despite not being as good as Uncharted, still is better than most other games. Graphics are pretty good even for 2015. By all means, get this game. Expand

    Kind of a generic 3rd person shooter, but I actually liked it a lot. First game I played was Quantum of Solace on PS2 lmfao and that was f*cking atrocious. But Blood Stone did everything right in my opinion.
    Decent story, nice levels, nice guns, though dumb AI and dated graphics, even for 2010. I mean Army of Two the 40th day was a thousand times better, also Uncharted 2 which

    Out of three 007 games i played, this is by far the best and most enjoyable one. I think it was a very good idea to have a brand new adventure for Bond, with some unique villains, awesome locations and nice action.
    When it comes to the action then it needs to be said that the various chase sequences take the cake here as each one is unique and just awesome.
    The game might be too easy for

    Multiplayer is pretty limited in variety, all team-based, and with a fistful of maps. Couple this annoyance with the fact that the rest of the game doesn't attempt to raise the bar in any way – and only lasts a paltry five hours – and Blood Stone starts to feel like a very pedestrian shooter. Honestly, we doubt even Xenia Onatopp on herbal Viagra could squeeze thrills out of this short ride. [January 2011 p79]

    Blood Stone is definitely not one of 007's best missions.

    It's 2010's most uninspired shooter. Only with Bond in it. [Jan 2011, p.86]
