007: Tomorrow Never Dies

"Tea Anyone?"

Finally 007 has come to Playstaion!! After all the delays it has showed its head in another console. The hype was in the air for a game that could topple the best game for the year. Well it was something to talk about but not exactly as I hoped for. When you play a game like Goldeneye, you would think the next one would be twice as good. TND fell short in a few area.

Unlike the former Goldeneye game, the latest instalment will give you a 3D perspective of the game. You play MI6 agent : 007 James Bond. As usual, you have to stop the world from the baddie. If you are unfammiliar with the story, see the film.

The control is really quite dissapointing. Sluggish and really user unfriendly. You can choose either the d-pad or the analog pad. ( but not both at the same time. ) You will get an arsenal of weapons to choose from. Auto target only works when you are facing the enemy. You will be able to do a whole bunch of stunts that you would not imagine in ONE GAME. Mid-way through the game you will feel that you are playing three types of games at one time.

The graphics looks exceptional but I think it could have been better. I have nothing more to say about the graphics without hurting peoples feelings.

The gameplay is perfect. Never a dull moments. Unfortunately the game isn't really user friendly and you might get stuck in some of the missions.

Replay value is really something to talk about as I really don't see any unless you want to call dibs on who has the highest score. The game is not really that difficult and I am quite disapointed with it. You may have a different opinion but after you play games like MGS and Syphon Filter, this will probably be a stroll in the park.
