James Bond 007: Blood Stone

Finally a game without being adapted from a movie first. I think its a pretty solid action game in a fantastic world of James Bond even if the story is pretty classic: we see all characters in the james bond movies and i enjoyed to finish the game and wanted to know how it will end. Enjoyed the fight scenes too. The "mise en scene"is pretty good too. I recommend it.

So... overall this bond game was pretty good. Though, there are some major flaws with this game.

Story was pretty good, seemed a little less complex than the movies, but I can't really complain about that since it had my full attention through the entire story. So overall story I'd say was an 8 or 9.

The major flaws that came from this game are really the mechanics that make it so annoying to play... and that might be because times moved forward, this is an older game. Reload sometimes just won't work, and don't get me started with the car segments... GOD. The car segments are in EVERY SINGLE LEVEL. Now most people would love to drive the Bond vehicle. But this is a little too much... a couple times throughout the story I would have been happy. The driving mechanics are awful... remember Watch Dogs? How bad the driving was in that game? Okay well double how awful the driving in Watch Dogs was and that's Blood Stones driving. Not to mention, with how much I hated the vehicular segments, had they of cut out all out, it wouldn't have made a difference, since there's lots of pieces missing when you go into a cut scene and the developers just expect you to put the little pieces together... so.. a couple seconds of a cut scene with the car would have been just as good. I dunno, I really hated the car segments though, which were by far the most frustrating part about this game. Especially where there's no hint or telling you when a trap is coming, the car gets totaled and you're forced to go back to a checkpoint... I dunno... I personally think this part of the game wasn't finished or ready to be in the game but they put it there for the big fans of the movies.

Aside from those things, I liked this game. I'm sure some would disagree but this is my opinions.

Play it for yourself! You'll still have fun either way!

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.

This was a very fun video game and I wish it had not only one sequel but multiple sequels!! I loved the car chases, the takedowns/stealth/fight choreography, the story, and the general gameplay! So many different world locations and the bad guys/villains in the video game are well-constructed and intimidating. I guess some people might complain about the graphics and it may come across as outdated a little, but I really don't mind them! The fact that they got Daniel Craig to do the voice was impressive and very welcomed. I played this game a lot and had a fun time! Plus, the opening song is awesome as well!
