007 Racing

"007 is back!! Too bad you don't see him.."

-Intro-
You get to blow up stuff, blow up cars, race, and do other stuff in the new racing game! WHAT!? I didn't say ''007!'' Oh... Maybe, it's because you don't see him. He's behind the wheel of BMW's, Aston Martin's, and Lotus'. You drive around in a fast-paced game, shooting and blowing up stuff... it's cool to be Bond.

-Story-
9/10
Go around in your fast cars, shooting and blowing up stuff!! You meet your women, (of course) and most of all, you get to be Bond! And as Q always says: ''Try to bring them back in one piece.'' YEAH RIGHT!!!

-Graphics-
8/10
Pretty stylish. The cars that you drive look cool. The explosions look AWESOME. Your gadgets look even cooler, such as, missiles, guns, smokescreens, the usual. The sun reflects off your dash board, and looks astounding! I have minor gripes. The screen looks a little blurry, and when your car goes against a wall, you can see on the other side. But other than that, everything's in tip-top shape.

-Sound-
9/10
Exceptional! The sound of explosions are very nice to hear. When your skids as you turn, it sounds EXACTLY how a real car could skid. And when crashing through a window, the glass falls, and sounds pretty cool. The Bond music is in there, which I love. Also, when you complete a mission, it has the ''escape music'' at the end. All in all, I thought the sound was great.

-Gameplay-
8/10
It's fun when using your gadgets. I liked using the missiles the most. When blowing up a bad guy in front of you, you could drive right through the smoke. Driving your car was a little hard. Sometimes the control was a little off, and I would skid off of something and crash. But now I learned my lesson. Always SLOW DOWN before making a turn...
Maybe that's why I crashed. It was fun driving the different cars, also. The Aston Martin was the best. Being chased by helicopters was fun. I love being chased, and dodging whatever they threw at me. But they couldn't catch me, BECAUSE I'M BOND!!

-Replay Value-
9/10
My friend broke this game, so I can't play it anymore. But when I was playing it, I was having a great time. This game has a high replay value. Blowing up stuff, being chased, and gunning down the bad guys never gets old. At least, not for me. You'll have fun playing this game for hours. It's even more fun when playing in multiplayer. I'd like to buy a new one, so I can challenge my friend who broke it, and blow him up!! (Not literally, of course)

RENT or BUY??
If you love Bond, (But you can't see him) then buy this game. It's fun for a while. It's great for parties, also. But I want to let all you little gamers out there know:
DON'T BREAK THE GAME, AND SLOW DOWN WHEN MAKING TURNS.
Have fun!!
