James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing

"After seeing PREVIEWS......It lived up to them!!!!!!"

when i first heard about this game, i was skeptical since the bond games have been subpar since the classi ''Goldeneye''!!! Then along comes this and all i can say is WOW!!!! Please read on for my review and i hope it helps you make a decision one way or the other:

Graphics: 9

Character models look superb!!!!! The likeness from the real stars is unbelievable. Backgrounds and vehicles look very nice. As with most games, there a few bumps in the road but for 95% of the game it just seems flawless!!! No slowdown at all either which is a major plus in my book when it comes to gaming.

Controls: 9

They are your basic controls for a third person shooter. I have both an ''s'' controller and a mad catz(3rd party) controller which is smaller than the ''s'' and both are very responsive. You make use of both joysticks for movement. The d-pad is for weapons and gadget cycling. Left trigger is for ''lock-on'' targeting and the right trigger is for shooting. There is a limited ''manual'' aim in this game which kind of brings the score down but it isnt too major in my book....thats why they make sequels....to make improvements.

Story: 10

What can be said about it? It is your basic BOND story laid out for a video game. Plenty of star power abound to help move the story. Pierce Brosnan, Willem Dafoe, Shannon Elizabeth and Heidi Klum lead the all-star cast and do a very nice job of voice acting and reading of the scripts for the dialoque.

Fun factor: 10

You get to go around and shoot bad guys, what else you need? No, seriously, shooting people can be fun but the vehicles you get to drive and the way the levels are layed out are just very nicely done!!!

Replay: 9

It has an ''O.K'' multiplayer. Co-op can be quite fun but fustrating. Earning the rankings can also be fun, just depending on how good you are.

Overall: 9

As you saw on the reviews cover page, this is what i rank it. I know i havent gone into too much detail on the game but i just wanted to make sure i didnt give anything away(spoilers) If you choose to rent it or buy it, i say go with the purchase of it. It is very fun and if you are like me then you will probably play it again after you beat it. But, I am a huge BOND fan and it is fun for me to play out the role.
