James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing

"Bond's Back with a Bang"

Graphics 8/10
Nothing that really is special about the special effects like and explosions here that you cant find in a lot of other games, but its defiantly top of the line. All the characters look exactly like there actor counter parts. And the mouth don't move like freakin nut crackers like they do in a lot of other games.

Sound 10/10
The sounds in this game are perfect, an all star cast of actors doing the voices. You got all the recurring characters (Bond, M, and Q) voices being done by the actors that play them, and the new characters have are voiced by other famous people. Not only that but the explosions sound great, the gun fire sounds accurate, and the music is just terrific. the Theme song is is also preformed by Mya, and a great theme song it is.

Gameplay 9/10
Almost a prefect combination of stealth action, shooting, and driving. The is a lot of ducking for cover and taking cover behind walls in this game, which I personally loved. The Driving is also really fun. You don't only drive one car in this one either, you get an off road van, you get a motor cycle in a few missions, and you get to pilot a helicopter. The best part about that is they got those things down perfectly as well.

Controls 8/10
another hit for this game. These controls are gold. It has a very easy learning curve. The controls aren't to simple, and not too complex at the same time. The driving controls are good as well, but have a couple problems. I found the turning to be a little touchy, and there control difference from the 3rd person mode maybe be a minor issue, but still, there good.

Multiplayer 10/10
Perhaps the best multi player offline since Halo, this multiplayer was just perfect. The kind folks at EA kicked it up a notch by adding a co-op muliplayer. The great thing about it is, its not just you playing with a friend through the first player missions, they added in a entirely different set of missions for Multi Player where you play as other MI6 agents. Seriously an A++ for the multiplayer in this game.

Life Span 9/10

This game is defiantly something your going to go back to and play over and over. There's Lot of fun missions you can't just play once. They also added this neat platinum challenge thing to this one, which when I hard about it I was thinking it was going to be annoying as hell, which it is, but its also fun as hell. You have to beat the level on the hardest difficult then beat it again doing the platinum Challenge, which is different for every level. Things like use this much ammo or less, or take this much damage, or beat the level in this amount of time. This should keep a lot of people busy for a long time.

Overall 9/10
OK, so if your a James Bond fan and you don't have this game, stop reading this review right now and go buy it... I said go! If your a shooter looking for a challenge, you should seriously think about getting this game as well. If your a Metal Gear Solid or Splinter Cell fan looking for something new to try, you should also pick this game up. Very few flaws, great sound and multiplayer, I say its a must have.
