James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing

"Fun change in James Bond games for the cube."

I'll go ahead and start things off by saying I had the advantage a being able to simply borrow the game from a friend, for...a..whole...summer. Anyway, I'll go ahead and start the review now.

Graphics - 7/10
I enjoyed the graphics in this game, they aren't glitchy, the camera angles aren't annoying, and the motorcycle and car levels are absolutly devastating. Speeding down the highway at 90 mph and flying off a ramp onto a bridge holstered in mid-air will leave you breathless...but you know, keep breathing cause... the stage isn't over! The levels in which things catch on fire are pretty sweet, I mean, the fire could be better, but what's to expect when they worked so hard on everything else?

Controls 6/10
The controls in this game are decent. There are several little gadgets that you'll be able to switch back and forth from any time during gameplay and several different guns and grenades that you can also switch among. Whilst repelling across walls you'll feel very comfortable moving your fingers across the controller, although I did have a problem repelling down from burning buildings as it would almost seem that the player doesn't... respond fast enough.

Sound 6/10
The sound in this game is fun. The music is, well, regular. But the sound effects are really cool. They run smoothly as you fire the living crap out of everyone who dares make eye contacts with you... *cough* Anywhoo... the sound effects really are good. Everything has it's own unique sound and you will get used to and remember them all in no time.

Gameplay 8/10
I absolutly love the gameplay in this game. This has got to be my favorite James Bond game by far. That's right... better then goldeneye. Oh yeah. I said it. Anyways, back to the real gameplay. There are several different modes of play. As your cruise the game you will go through several walking missions, motorcycle missions, car missions, racing missions, and a very fun and unique multiplayer mode in which you play as two lower rank agents. In the gameplay mode the bosses are relatively hard and original and all your weapons are fun to use. Finding new places to repel to is very fun and sniping out baddies from hidden towers is incredible. Before you know it, you'll be wishing for more.

Replay Value 6/10
The replay value in this game is pretty good. Their is a fun multiplayer mode, and their are fun unlockables you can go back and get by getting really good ranks on levels. Beating the game on more and more difficult levels starts off feeling like nothing more then a chore, but turns into a frenzy of button mashing and curses and you TV screen.

Secrets 7/10
The secrets are good in this game. There are several unlockables that you need to get and then input the code during gameplay which effects how it works.

Overall 7/10
Overall I give this game a 7, the game is really good and it is kind of hard to recommend a buy or a rent. You won't be disappointed if you buy it, but also you won't be craving and drooling from the mouth for more if you rent it. So I'm gonna leave this one up to you.
