James Bond's first real attempt at an FPS game strikes gold. The FPS formula is the one thing that seems to work best for Mr. Bond. He goes through twenty missions, eighteen regular and two hidden, in this cocktail of a game that leaves nothing to chance and it shows off what the N64 did for the shooter market.
The story is in the movie, and I am willing to bet that most of you have seen the movie by this point. Bad guy tries to destroy the world's economy. Simple, no? There are a few extras thrown in, but the game is very loyal to the basic premise of the movie, which is good for Rare. There are a few changes, but nothing too dramatic.
The graphics are what they are. They haven't changed too much and they don't look too old. The controls are very simple and easy to learn. Sound is a toss-up. You wish there were voice-overs, but you know that voice-overs stank in the year 1997. Look at Resident Evil. The multiplayer is the real winner here. There is so much to do and the gameplay is so deep you will be playing for hours.
Rare made a masterpiece with this game, and while it doesn't much up to FFVII or Turok in 1997, this game holds out on its own. This game won eight awards including party game, hero, and new feature. -- Chris Vavra, PGNx Media
