Enter the reviews ; it got pretty good scores, avereging about 85 out of 100 mostly. But there were also complaints and they where the typical things about why I don\'t like EA\'s way of handling the Bond franchise ;
- very short
- paced like an action movie, almost as if the player is forced to follow the movie script litterally.
- the inclusion of all kinds of gameplay cropped in there just too appeal to mainstream :
* driving | cut n paste NFS engine
* helicopter flight | ON RAILS ! :o
* only one decent executed stealth level
* uniform glossy visuals
So, while it all looks cool and slick with all the actors and stuff in it...I can\'t but shake the feeling that EA doesn\'t want to push the envelope. I acknowledge ; it\'s not crap or halfassed, but it\'s sooo damn stuck to this dreaded formulac/commercially way of making games... ugh...
Haven\'t liked a single Bond game since Goldeneye
If fact that’s why I named myself ooseven because of my love for the Multiplayer Greatness.
IMO...if you want a Great Bond game...then get the Free Radical boys to do it!
Second Sight & timespliters= what a bond game should be...
Bloody EA...They had better not Fook Goldeneye 2 up or there WILL be HELL TO PAY
