Review by Lethal Weapon

"A little bit of this, a little bit of that."

When I first got this game I was addicted to it. Now not so addiced to it. I will take Gameplay, Story, Audio/Video, Replayibility, etc and give it a fraction. Well here's the review.

Gameplay: 9/10 There are 14 levels in this game. It has everything from skiing down a slope to climbing on a submarine, to swimming to a room to kill the main bad guy Renard. The gameplay in this game is good and sometimes you get new objectives on a differnt difficulty. There are 3 difficultys. Agent, Secret Agent, and 00 agent. Each time you play a differnt difficulty you get more baddies in the game then there you usually are, sometimes you get more objecctives, and the baddies get tougher to beat. The guns also have secondary fuctions on them. You can make a pistol be have silent shots or you can have it have laser sight. On most automatic guns you have two options. Auto or Burst of fire. This game also has Multiplayer which lacks a bit. The time cheats are Multiplayer extras such as skins and TWINE levels.

Story: 8/10 There is a great story to this game but the game doesn't really follow the movie a lot. It begins when Sir Robert King dies in an explosion and dies. And you are sent to protect her daughter Elektra. The story is very short but it's okay.

Audio/Video: 8/10 This is where the game starts to drop a tiny bit. This game was made by EA (Electronic Arts) and they've never made a James Bond 007 game in their entire life. The good thing about Audio/Video is you can hear the character's talk instead of having a black box saying what the character is saying aka Goldeneye. You also have a option to have CC (Closed Caption) for the game. That's mainly for deaf people and people who enjoy hearing the A.I. There are 2 problems with the Audio and Video. First the gunshots to the gun don't really have enough bang and THE JAMES BOND THEME IS NOT IN THE GAME! You heard me! And the music in the mission is very hard to hear!

To buy or to rent? I would first rent this game and see if you like it. If you are addiced to it I would suggest buying it. Most reviewers end of giving this game an 8 or less. I agree with them.

Overall score: 8/10
