From Russia With Love

"James Bond is back to the 1960's"

Introduction: Another 007 James Bond game made by EA but its back into the old 1960's Bond James Bond….

Graphics: 9.5/10

The graphics are all the best I seen in a X-box game besides Half-Life 2…The cut scenes are the best part just because you can see James Bond's face and it moves like he was really there…it was a little weird seeing a red bullet flying to the enemy like it was star wars…

Sound: 8/10

The sounds are all alright but Sean Connery sounds a little weird because of his older self. All the other voices seem like they are from the movie. The music you only can be heard during the cut scenes, its in the active part but its so low you barely can hear it..

Controls: 7.5/10

The controls are all good in the foot part but during the driving part its kind of hard doing the car attacks its easy doing the missiles and machine gun. On foot you can't shoot anything you want only shoot what they want you to shoot. And they only time you can aim is when you go into bond focus…

Game play: 9.5/10

The game play is fun lots of unlockables, in multiplayer it's a little boring just playing 2 players and its versus not co-op. when you are in single player you can upgrade your weapons that you get along the way and find some clothing that Sean Connery used as James Bond. Sniping was a little hard to control because the zooming button is the D-pad and its not good for the sniping part of the game because its all fast pace. The difficulty was too easy though…

Story: 10/10

The story is all about “From Russia With Love: The Movie” except they changed some parts around a bit. So im not going to go into the story…

Weapons: 10 /10

The weapons are all good. except for the silenced pp7 because its not silenced… every weapon you get is through the game not bought…you get a nice verity of weapons from the little laser watch to the big bazooka…

Replay value: 7/10

Like I said there is a lot of unlockables and they only way to get them is through playing the game over again… multiplayer is not as fun in only 2 players but it's a good party game…

Rent it or buy it?

Rent it because the game is so short I beat it in 2 days but I rented it about 7:00pm and fell asleep about midnight so its probably 1 day. If you got some friends over play multiplayer…

Pros: the unlockables
The graphics
Recreation of the movie

Cons: no online play!!!???
Some of the buttons are hard to control
