"License to Kill - With an attitude"
James Bond 007 is after the ever growing long line of James Bond movies. It provides a unique experience on what it's like to be a spy... A perfect spy!
Game Play 10/10
I'd give this an A+! The controls are so simple, and the game is so fun. This is the first James Bond game I've played that was a challenge, yet it was fun. Unlike Goldeneye, it wasn't a cake walk. Also, unlike TWINE (The World Is Not Enough), you don't have to worry about alarms, and mind clouding puzzles. The only puzzle in this game is where to find some hidden items. A and B buttons work whatever you put in the slot, and start pauses. The game is very easy to use, and medium difficulty to beat. The best part is using a missile launcher, grenades, talking to women, or gambling in the casino!
Story 10/10
Like all good James Bond stuff, you have to get into the game to understand it. There is some very general info I can give you that won't give the plot away:
You are the feared and respected secret agent James Bond 007. Your job is to serve OHMSS (On her majesty's secret service) and protect all people. Your first mission is in China. We will send you more info once you arrive there.
That is as general as I can be, and not give the game info away. The story will get bigger and bigger as you progress through the game. You may find it hard to keep track of at times. Q can be found somewhere in a mission on occasion. Sometimes you must find him and his cohorts to get weapons to go farther in the game! M will occasionally contact you on what you should be doing at the beginning of a mission.
Audio/Video 10/10
As far as sound goes, it gets an A. The sound is clear, and there is a large variety of it. The sound of gunfire or missile launchers is very nice to your ears. The graphics get an A also. They are not perfect, but they are easily defined.
Replay YES
This game takes awhile to beat. Believe me, you will want to play this game again!
To buy YES
If you are lucky, you will find a copy of James Bond 007 for sale. It will cost about 17 to 21 dollars.
Verdict PERFECT
If you want an action packed game with your favorite secret agent, then this game is for you!
Don't delay, play today!
