Pierce Brosnan does not do the voice of James Bond but his image likeness appears as James Bond due to him coming on board late in the development of the game.
Andrew Bicknell was set to reprise his likeness as James Bond from the previous game 007: Agent Under Fire (2001). However, following Pierce Brosnan renewing his contract to play Bond in Die Another Day (2002), Bicknell's likeness was dropped and replaced by Brosnan.
In the "Deep Descent" level, the ship Bond drives into contains the Malprave Industries logo on the side, a reference to "Agent Under Fire", the previous Bond video game.
The working title for the game was Phoenix Rising.
"James Bond will return...", a common end note to the James Bond movies, is seen in the closing credits to the game.
