007: The World is Not Enough

"Name is Bond, James Bond"

Well, well. Hello, Mr. Bond. I am back for some more action packed adventures.That is what you will say when you see this game. This game is a knock out. Everything from top to bottom is great. EA is good at making James Bond games just like Rare with Goldeneye 007 for the Nintendo 64. If you do not want to read the review, I will put it this way, single player is just too good and the multi-player should be left for Rare to handle. And on to the review!!

Gameplay 9/10
The gameplay of this game is great! Right from the beginning, you take command of none other that James Bond 007. Now right when you start controlling him, you will say ''Hey these controls are just like the Goldeneye and Perfect Dark games!'' Well, there is onr slight add-on from the other games, you can jump! That part will just blow you away! The gadgets and the guns are just fantastic! Heck, you even get to have a grappler to grapple on to walls just like in the movies! The pistol is one gun in the game. By this I mean that a silenced version and an un-silenced version are not two different guns. You can attach a silencer on the gun itself instantly!!

Sound 8/10
The sound of this game is nothing new. You have the basic voices and the music. But the gunshot sounds are a different story. The gunshots are just fabulous. When you shoot, you can see Pierce/Bond shooting just like in the movie. It is great how the gunshots are just like the ones in Goldeneye.

Graphics 7/10
The graphics of the game are not that good compared to the other first person shooters. The graphics are just a bit ECK! You can see the pixels and you can see the jagged edges. But remember, graphics are not everything!

Replay Value 8/10
Now the replay value you will think that it is because of what? The multiplayer? NO!! The single player is better than the multi-player. Multi-player is just flat out boring. The single-player can be some what innovative. It will keep you wrapped up in stitches because of the excitement surrounding it.

Overall (my rating with fractions) 8.6
The game is good. It is just like a normal game - it has its ups and downs. The gameplay is the best part of the game. I recommend that you buy this game. But, remember that this is no Rare. And another thing, James Bond will return. Heck, it might be even on the Gamecube.
