James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing (2003)
Exciting High Value Video Game Experience
After the last few games from EA based on the 007 franchise, I was not looking forward to another release. I was pleasantly surprised with this game.
First of all, it features the actual actors and actresses we know from the recent Bond movies. Pierce Brosnan appears as our favorite 00 agent, as well as others from the movie cast including Dame Judi Dench and John Cleese. We get three Bond girls in this outing with Heidi Klum, Shannon Elizabeth and Mya. Willem Dafoe and Richard Kiel(JAWS!) round out the cast as our main enemies for Bond. The all star cast and high production values make this Bond game feel like a movie.
As for story, this is all typical Bond. As a game, that's a very good thing. We see 007 start out in a short mission to lead you into the credi t sequence(complete with a song by Mya). Then we get to the main plot of the movie. I won't give much away there, but I will say that Willem Dafoe's character was the student of Max Zorin, the 007 enemy from A View to a Kill(played by Christopher Walken).
Gameplay is incredibly varied and exciting. While the main meat of the gameplay is based around a 3rd person view system much like Metal Gear Solid or Splinter Cell, there are also many other types of gameplay that include driving the 007 cars, flying a helicopter and rapelling off a cliff. While there are some minor issues such as the auto targeting system and camera issues, you'll probably not be bothered by it enough to let it get in the way of the game.
Replay value with this game is also very high. Difficulty levels are presented to the player(ranging from Operative to 00 Agent). Beating a level on 00 Agent difficulty unlocks a platinum goal, which unlocks hidden codes and other cool stuff when completed. You can even unlock the golden gun from The Man With The Golden Gun.
If you're looking for a way to experience a Bond movie and don't feel like dusting off your N64 to play Goldeneye(if you even still have it), you can't go wrong with Everything or Nothing.
