James Bond 007 - Quitte ou double

This is probably the best Bond game ever! It's almost perfect! Pierce Brosnan, Judi Dench, Richard Kiel, John Cleese, Willem Defoe, Shannen Elizabeth, and Heidi Klum make up the cast of this spectacular game. I liked the idea of (Defoe's character) Nikolai Diavolo being a student of Max Zorin (the villain from the Bond movie "A View To A Kill"). Continuity is another movie feature that the game displays. The gameplay is excellent, as are the graphics, sound effects, and controls. From the first level to the last, there isn't a thing out of place. The only flaw is the end of the final level, which I won't reveal. The game feels like your watching a Bond movie. 10/10

After the release of Goldeneye for the N64, I hoped for a good sequel of sorts. The World Is Not Enough came out and it passed the time but wasn't anywhere close to Goldeneye. Then games like Agent Under Fire and Night Fire came out and I lost hope all together. But now with the release of Everything or Nothing, my love for Bond games has returned.

Like always you are 007 (voiced by Pierce Brosnan) and you are on another dangerous mission to save the world. The mission take you from Brazil, to the US, to Russia, all the while trying to stop Nikolai Diavolo (voiced by Willem Dafoe). The game is not a first person shooter, but there is still plenty of action. From the first to the last, every mission is exceptionally difficult in its own way.

What caught my eye the most was the way the producers were able to bring in real actors to portray characters: Willem Dafoe, Pierce Brosnan, Heidi Klum, etc. The characters bring the game together with their great personalities, their actions, and simply their presence.

The game presents you with an arsenal of weapons and from Q, your trusty gadgets to help stop the enemy. The graphics are some of the best I've seen. Every character looks how they should. The story is any other Bond story, stop the bad guys, save the world, and get the girl but it works well as it should.

Everything or Nothing is not as good as Goldeneye which I don't believe will be matched but it's probably the second best Bond game to come out. It's a worth while adventure that passes the time and may get you a bit angry when you keep dying on the same mission.

James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing. Starring the voices of: Pierce Brosnan, Willem Dafoe, Heidi Klum, John Cleese, and Shannon Elizabeth.

4 1/2 out of 5 Stars.

This is one of the best bond games i have ever played because:

The missions are very very fun to play they have lots of action in them they can be really hard sometimes that makes it even more fun the weapons that you use are really good. The cars in this game are really good the driving missions are fun to do. This James bond game has a good story to it. The voice over actors in this game are really good and it is cool that pierce brosnan is in this game and the way the characters look is really good because they look like what they look like in real life which is really cool. Also the graphics in this game pretty good.

Overall score ********* out of **********

James Bond is back! His first game since 2002's Nightfire provides a fantastic change of pace to the FPS Bond Formula. Instead, Bond has gone back to a 3rd-person shooter, but don't worry-- this isn't anything like the abysmal Tomorrow Never Dies. The story is a typical Bond-must-save-the-earth-from evil-diabolical-villain story. Nothing you really haven't seen before. If you like those kind, you'll like it, if you don't like those kind, you won't. It is as simple as that.

The gameplay is where Everything or Nothing shines. Although on the surface, it seems like a typical action adventure, what's best is the open-ended way you can tackle each mission one-by-one. Will you charge straight into a firefight or take out your enemies one by one from some cover? Will you use your gadgets to scout ahead or just keep your trigger finger ready when danger arises? Will you take out an enemy sniper from afar or use your grapple to get up to the ledge he's on and take him out with your fists? This kind of excellent gameplay allows the player to weave their own strategies on how to deal with each level. And like Nightfire, when you perform a move that's exactly like Bond would do, you'll get a higher score. And to add some variety, EA added in some awesome driving missions that rival some of the best chase scenes from the Bond flicks.

The graphics and sound are also excellent. The voice acting uses some top Hollywood talent, from the regulars like Pierce Brosnan, Judi Dench, and John Cleese, to newcomers like Shannon Elizabeth and Willem Dafoe, fresh off his stint from 2002's Spider-man video game. There's also the opening tune by Mya, one of the better James Bond songs in recent years. Plus, the graphics are amazing. They've been rendered to look EXACTLY like the voice talent, so much in fact that at times you'll actually believe at times that you're not looking at a video game, but the latest Bond movie on your TV set. The high production values just increase EON's movie-like quality.

There's only one small flaw in the film: The camera stinks! Like nearly every 3rd person action game in existence, the camera is just awful, it will often pan to obscure angles, often screwing your field of vision up. This is especially annoying when an enemy taking potshots at you, as by the time you adjust the screen to see them your health may be nearly wiped out. This annoying tidbit can get increasingly frustrating. However, that minor complaint aside, the game is another excellent addition to any gamer's library. I recommend this to any person who is a fan of action games, and eagerly await EA's next Bond title. 9.5/10.

I was finally able to rent this game out yesterday, and I have to say, this game is breathtaking. I haven't beaten it as of this moment, but I've seen enough to say just how incredible this game is.

GRAPHICS The graphics are nothing short of spectacular. Lighting is geniusly done, and having to use the Thermal Vision every time you walk into a dark area is a nice touch. Particle effects have also been perfectly integrated, from bright flashes to EXPLOSIONS (and believe me, there will be a LOT).

SOUND If you've played the Max Payne games, you already know of the ear-splitting gunshots and explosions (which is a good thing), but if you haven't played the Max Payne games, you're in for a surprise. From the sound of your P99 going off, to the sound of a huge BOOM from inside a building, the sound is monstrously integrated. Also, for those who have played the previous James Bond games, you will get a twist here: the actual cast from the live-action films have signed on to voice the characters in this game (that's right, no more Pierce Brosnan sound-alikes). The star-studded cast will give you the feeling that something has finally been done right. The introductory theme song is highly addictive, too.

GAMEPLAY I'll say this right now...there's a lot of cover shooting going on. Unlike in the other James Bond games, you can't just run into a huge gunfight and expect to walk out without a scratch. You must use the environment to your advantage, and fire. It is sometimes safe to run out with guns a-blazing, but only do that if you're absolutely sure you'll win. Stealth is an important factor, too. You must keep yourself well-concealed on most missions in order to at least have a dying chance at completing a level. There are also vehicle levels here. These levels are so fast-paced and exciting, I immediately became obsessed with the "Train" mission. Try and play that mission with your finger on the "X" button as long as possible...I assure you, you'll be in for a wild ride. Unlike all the other James Bond games, this game includes a Training Level that allows you to get the feel of the game before actually playing through it. The gadgets are also well-done...the Q-Spider is probably THE most useful and most fun gadget to use. There's even a level where you have to fall down the side of a mountain to catch your partner in mid-air...they did the same thing in Operation: Surma, but that way sucked badly. Leave it to this game to show them the RIGHT way to do it. The Multiplayer game is also here with a vengeance...not only can you battle others, you can also team up with a second player and play story missions. If you're a hardcore gamer, you WILL find yourself returning to previously-completed levels to obtain Platinum ranks and unlock cheats and rewards.

BOTTOM LINE: This game is worth your money, whether rented or bought. If you're a huge Bond fan, you'll definitely want to pick this up.

Final Score: 10/10
