James Bond 007: Blood Stone

It took me a decade after this game came out to finally pick it up and give it a try and boy am I impressed and angry at myself for not getting it sooner. If I had to justify myself I would say its because I played Quantum of Solace and while it was cool for what it was, it was just a little too close Call of Duty for my liking so I thought Blood Stone would be the same causing me not to rush to play it but boy I couldnt have been more wrong.

A welcomed change is the return to 3rd person as it really compliments the chase sequences and takedowns and just he overall fast pace that a Daniel Craig Bond game needs. And although it is a faster paced game it still has some strong stealth elements that are not exclusive to this game. Take downs and silencers are your main tools to staying silent so if you've played any other Bond games you are familiar with the stealth in Blood Stone which im not gonna say its a bad thing because I'd rather that than shitty forced stealth sections that go on for half an hour with little or no checkpoints in between.

I would certainly rank Blood Stone among the creme of the crop in the Bond games simply for the way it captures the feeling of the Craig films and as I play this game I cant help but feel more and more excited for IO Interactive's upcoming Project 007 which I hope will breathe new life into the James Bond video game market with recent game technology and developers that we know actually care about the quality of the games we could be in for perhaps the best Bond game since Goldeneye or the biggest letdown since the Goldeneye remaster. Only time will tell.

This game is the bond game we've always wanted it's absolutely incredible i love the 3rd person aspect and this amazing original James bond story this would have totally worked as a movie it would've been great because you know spectre and skyfall and no time to die wasn't Based on any of the books they were made for screen with original stories so original James bond stories totally work all the time seriously if James bond hasn't have died in no time to die they should've made blood stone with Daniel Craig and joss stone in live action but playing this game is literally like watching James Bond feature it is simply the best we are still yet to see what the new James Bond game that was announced by IO Interactive has to offer I suppose it'll be a little like hitman since hitman is a secret agent but he has a target to assassinate so James bond is quite different but itll still be like hitman in a sense with the spy espionage but this game is meant to feature an original story possibly with a 3rd person POV and for the time being this will always be the best bond game we cant say the new one coming will be the best because we havent had any information from IO Interactive since that gunbarrel teaser id possibly say may releese next year or possibly 2025 maybe if this game turns out to be a pile of ass then blood stone is the best.

I recently purchased this game. I have played a few James Bond games including Quantum of Solace. This games has great action and is very well made. I recommend this game to any Jame Bond fan. The story for this should be consider for a Bond movie after all it does have the current actor in the role of James bond and other characters in the game being voiced by there human counter part. With another movie coming out I hope that one becomes a game and is as good as this game. I have not beaten this game yet but look forward to seeing how it ends. The thing I like best about this game is that its not a shooter game u are actually James Bond fighting the bad guys and driving the car.

Only thing i found annoying is that one guy you think is the main villain then another then another and it was really repetitive. However the gameplay , controls and everything else was pretty good.

If this game was remastered with today's technology, this could be a perfect game. Loved the bond song created for this game. And the Aston Martin car and action sequences which if were with todays graphics i cant even imagine how could they would look like! I felt the activision theme and vibes about this game too, reminded me of some call of duty games, and thats cool. But sometimes this reminded me about hitman too, and i love that game as well!

What i didnt like was obviously the graphic and audio quality of this game. Subtitles were awful and with many mistakes, teribly timed /synchronized. Audio of voice acting quality was terible, sounds old and with noises on top of it. Loved the original actors' voice acting of course. If they used random voices for M and 007 i would give this one 1/10 at best.
