James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing

"Way to short!"

When I first began playing this game I thought ''wow finally a game to match Goldeneye!'' I soon found out I was wrong. I was playing for just under two hours when I found myself on the 12/25 levels. I was halfway through the game in under two hours. I was also playing on the highest difficulty setting. Several hours later I found the game done. I then proceeded in to completing the platinum challenges. This was more of a challenge but again I found myself doing 18 of the platinum challenges within another few hours.
The main story is typical Bond with many plot twists and eccentric villains trying to take over something or other. The acting is brilliant with the real voices of Pierce Brosnan,Willem Defoe,Mya,Heidi Klum,Judi Dench and John Cleese.This adds to the overall story mode experiance but cant make up for the game being to short.
Although the game was short the gameplay didnt disappoint. It combined action stealth and driving for a great gaming experience,while it lasts. You will find yourself travelling to different areas of the world but the size of some of the levels are restricted. The bond moments are nice touch to the gameplay, they are scattered throughout the levels and some are hard to find. If you want an extra challenge you should try finding all of them.
Another nice touch to the game is of course the bond music. It is great and gets you in the mood for the game itself. The voices of the characters are excellent as I mentioned earlier.
The best part of the game is the multiplayer mode. Playing through the levels in co-op with your friends is brilliant. It is alot more enjoyable than the main story and is far more difficult. However the arena mode is slightly less enjoyable and no where near as fun as co-op mode. But overall the multiplayer alone is the best part of the game and is far better than the main game.
The graphics in the game are very good but slightly odd in places. The trademark James Bond raised eyebrow is permenant whilst playing the game and the facial expressions stay the same through out apart from during cutscenes. Overall however they are awesome.
Having said that the main story is far to short and is a big let down so overall I would say this game is just worth a rent. Even for fans of the genre.
