James Bond 007: From Russia With Love
Date undefinedThis is the latest James Bond game of the century.It is like the other old James Bond games.(Goldeneye,Tomorrow never dies, The world is not enough).It tells what else games bond is doing in the movie because it has some missions that are in the movie.But it also haves missions that are not in the movie.And also,instead of Pierce Brosnan as James Bond it is the original games bond,Sean Connery.So,if you liked the movie,you'd like this amazing transfer of a video game.
James Bond 007: From Russia With Love
Date undefinedHere's a series of shooting and driving missions, loosely based on the early Bond joint "From Russia with Love."
So you get to be Connery's Bond, wearing a cool Saville Row suit and carrying a Walther and driving a stone cold Aston Martin.
Unfortunately, there are severe limitations with the game. You can't skip the cut-scenes; you can't save individual stages of a mission; and most crucially you don't get a lot of freedom of mobility within the virtual world -- you can't even JUMP unless you're in front of a prompt to do so.
But weird touches make this game surprisingly addictive.
You've got a wealth of weapons to choose from (shotguns, .44 Magnums, tricked-out watches and cuff-links and a serum gun that causes enemy victims to go all "28 Days Later" and attack other enemies). Having so many options means you can plan complex strategies within your attack.
Also, some of the challenges are laughably easy while others are ridiculously hard -- Tatiana may be a babe in the original movie but in the game, when you have to protect her in order to win and she keeps running in front of your shot (screaming "help me, James, help me!") she's the most annoying videogame sidekick this side of Lance Vance.
The two-player, head-to-head mode (while lacking AI capability) is also great -- that alone makes this game worth buying if you can get it for cheap. You can fight an opponent in Venice, in a hedge maze, in a huge subway station, in a factory and a couple of other locations. As with the single-player game, there's a wealth of weapons to fight with and it can get really amusing.
I wish "Russia" weren't quite so cumbersome, and I wish the soundtrack made better use of John Barry's score and the signature themesong, but despite the drawbacks, it's still a surprising amount of fun.

Date undefinedNothing against Pierce Brosnon, But there's too much of him in james bond already with the PS2, I'm glad to finally see a sean connery one! This game is pretty much like all the other james bond games, You shoot bad guys, Drive expensive cars, Fight bosses... And so on. Very challenging And fun! Might I say that the graphics were impressive, especially Sean Connery & Robert Shaw, They look so real it's almost scary! Take a journey with 007. If you got the guts to! (just kidding)
