SUMMARY:
Well let’s start off saying that this is a vast improvement from the past games in almost every way. The game of course starts you off in the middle of action, as this is Bond, and it set off a good impression of what the game was going to be like.
Unlike its predecessors the game is set in a 3rd person camera angle. As a result of having 3rd person it has allowed EA games to do more character movements, which immeasurably helps out in the game.
Though out the game, James Bond once again visits exotic locals and this gives more of an atmosphere when you are playing. The immense level design and the amount of levels (over 25 levels) give more replay value that is most needed when it comes down to action games.
The other unique thing about the level design is the multiple path’s in which you can take. For instance in one of the earlier levels you have the choice of taking a motorbike on the dangerous path or the car on the safer path. This means you can replay the level and get different ways in how the level is.
The unlockable’s in the game are an enormous improvement from the past games as you can even unlock a gallery mode, in where you go around in a peaceful gallery where you look at the many artworks thanks to EA games artwork team. The other unlockable's are excellent and at times you feel like going back to the gallery just to chill out from the tensons from the difficulty of the game.
The cast for once is the same from the movie and it
quote Q
makes you feel like you are playing Bond
This here means that even Q aknowledged that this is the first game in where you feel like bond.
The music to the game is actually quite good with mnay different harmonies.
Multiplayer is a major let down, if you only want to play multiplayer with people this is not the game to get, (I suggest the past games would satisfy your multiplayer needs). Horrible multiplayer. The arena mode feels really stupid as your in a 5 by 5 metre room where your all on the one screen. Basically your face to face with shotguns and basically means who ever can press the trigger the fastest wins. Really stupid. If your after multiplayer with bots I'm afraid to say there are none. Though there is a co-op mode but there are different missions to the co-op so you aren't playing the normal missions. Over all the multiplyer was a major let down and I say that Night fire's multiplayer was better
Results:
Gameplay: 9.5 /10
Graphics: 9.5 /10
Sound: 9.5 /10
Replay value: 9.0 /10
Multiplayer: 5.0 /10
Overall: 8.5 /10
In my opinion I recommend this game to all action lovers as there are normal missions tank missions, car, motor bike, helicopter and more to satisfy every one's needs in how you want to play the game.
