James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing

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.
