Due to deadline problems, the producers of the game had to use the Quake engine to complete the game on time. This came about because the movie was in theatres longer than expected, forcing the company for which the producers worked to shorten the time to the deadline. As a result the game lacks the elaborate mazes, site bosses, and hidden clues that made its predecessors famous.
This James Bond video game was developed by Eurocom Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts and was made available on the Nintendo 64, Nintendo GameBoy Color and Sony PlayStation platforms.
Four James Bond movies have featured leading Bond Girls with a doctor qualification. Spectre (2015) is the first James Bond movie in around sixteen years where a leading Bond Girl has had the profession of being a doctor. In Spectre (2015), Léa Seydoux's character is Dr. Madeleine Swann, a Doctor of Psychology, and is the fourth major Bond Girl in the official series to be a doctor. The last time in the film franchise that a Bond Girl was a doctor there were two, Dr Christmas Jones (Denise Richards - a doctor of nuclear physics) and Dr Molly Warmflash (Serena Scott Thomas - a doctor who is a physician to MI6 agents), both appearing in El mundo nunca es suficiente (1999). Prior to this, the first leading Bond Girl who was a doctor was Dr Holly Goodhead (Lois Chiles) (a CIA agent and an astronaut space scientist doctor of astrophysics) in Moonraker (1979). In the James Bond video games, James Bond 007: Agente en fuego cruzado (2001) features Dr. Natalya Damescu (Beatie Edney - voice); James Bond 007 - Todo o nada (2003) features Dr. Katya Nadanova (Heidi Klum); and 007 Legends (2012) also features the above-mentioned Dr. Holly Goodhead (Jane Perry), whilst The World Is Not Enough (2000) also features Dr. Christmas Jones (Sumalee Montano) as well as archive footage of Denise Richards from the movie version also in the video-game.
