James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing

"EA finally pulls off a great Bond game but it falls a bit short!"

INTRODUCTION

I am a big James Bond fan and love every movie that came out! I also loved Goldeneye very much! It was my favorite all time N64 game! THE MULTIPLAYER OWNED! But then EA got the rights and made 2 crappy games and 1 decent one! When this game was comming out I had my doubts like many people if this would suck, but it didnt! It rocks! But why the 8?! Read on!

STORY: 10

This is where James Bond games and movies always shine and this one is no different! This story has its twists and turns and the story is original so this gets a 10 from me!

GRAPHICS: 8

Now I know what people are gonna say! ''WHAT THE GRAPHICS ARE AWESOME'' Well your right for the most part EXCEPT that the in game sequences are a little rough and not clear! But the movies in the game, those graphics rock! I also like how the characters look just like the actors who they portray! But anyway, it gets an 8!

GAMEPLAY: 9

I thought the 3rd person view would ruin the game but think again! ITS AWESOME! The controls are tight and switching weapons isnt a hassle anymore and the bond sense idea is really cool! The driving sequences...OMG DONT GET ME STARTED! THEY ARE THE COOLEST EVER! The only beef I have with it is the fact with cover! Sometimes I press Z and instead of ducking he clings to the wall which gets very annoying but it isnt too frequent so gameplay gets a 9!

SOUND: 10

Another strong thing that all Bond movies and games have! The music is catchy and never gets annoying! Pure 10!

REPLAY VALUE: 8.5

This game has the most replay value Ive ever seen in a Bond game! The multiplayer was awesome and extremly fun! And replaying the missions for the Golds were also very fun! But some people might get very frustrated with the Golds and platinum objectives are very hard! I like a challenge but some people might not!

FINAL VERDICT: 8

This game is the best James Bond game ever made by EA! If you have your doubts about 3rd person view rent it first but you wont be too disapointed! The only thing is even though there are a lot of missions they are kinda short! I beat the game in 2 days under Agent difficulty and got 15 golds and 7 Platinums in another 2 days! With that being said you make your choice! This is a great game and I say its a must buy for any gamer just dont be surprised when the game comes to an end like it did with me!
