James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing

This game is the bomb and this is the 007 game of the year and should be on greatest hits. When I got Agent Under Fire, I thought that was a good game but then Nightfire came around and that was better, but now there is a new type of James Bond game. This time it a 3rd person shooter and there is more than 12 missions, the graphics of the game are out of this house. It even has all of the great actors and actresses in this game like Pierce Bronsan as once again James Bond, William Dafoe as the villain Nikolai Diavolo, and Judi Dench as M (forgive me all if I spell it wrong). This game would be own as the greatest James Bond game around.

I give this a 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.

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.

A must-have for all 007 fans. The weapons and gadgets are good. Graphics look like real life. Driving levels are the BEST.

The only weapons I never liked and coulda bin improved were the MP5K(accuracy), Frag Grenade(hard to aim), and P99(clip size).

I loved ALL the gadgets, especially Q-spiders, and i enjoyed shooting with the SIG 552.

The Dragunov sniper rifle scope also keeps wobbling up and down when I try to snipe from afar. That is retarded! eg the enemy is moving real fast and keeps taking cover and just when i get a shot the scope wobbles upwards! no fair! i dunno if it is just my game or if it is a glitch or if it is deliberate.

but overall the game is good, despite the sniper scope flaw. Do not rent it, BUY it!

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.
