    What a great game. The multiplayer to this day is tough to beat. Shooter games are one genre that I find grows less fun as it gets more realistic, and this one has just the right blend of realism and, in certain spots, a fun lack thereof.

    It is a pretty good game but only like 10 missions. I love the controlable rocket launcher thing! And I love the multiplayer! Easily worth 25 bucks just for multiplayer!!

    Bond is Back! Not since GoldenEye has a bond game been so much fun. The graphics are gorgeous, the control is solid, and the ambience is straight Bond. The different game modes (FPS, driving, gunner, etc) are very well done and don't feel gimmicky at all. This game is just plain fun. The only thing is that the aiming can take a little while to learn, but if you've played Halo or Bond is Back! Not since GoldenEye has a bond game been so much fun.

This game is just plain fun. The only thing is that the aiming can take a little while to learn, but if you've played Halo or other FPS that use both analog sticks, you should be fine. The girls are hot, too!… Expand

    Better than Goldeneye? In my opinion, it's a lot better. I know that might sound extreme, but the gameplay is about on par, while the graphics are among the xboxes best. Graphics make the bond experience so much better. It's got great weapons, beautiful women, believable environments, useful gadgets, and all kinds of crazy bond scenarios. To top it all off there's 4 player Better than Goldeneye? In my opinion, it's a lot better.

    Good game. Don't play on xbox 360 though as it won't let you access driving levels.

    The graphics are damn fine, with richly detailed environments, a speedy framerate, and accurately modeled polygonal ladies providing splendid eye candy. [Winter 2002, p.89]
  2. GMR Magazine

    Does an admirable job of re-creating the feel of the films. [Feb 2003, p.95]

    For those unexcited by the prospect of actually being Bond, some problems, the most predominant of which is the games failure to engage or innovate on any other level than being an above average jaunt through an enormously exciting fictional world, may be too much.
