View Full Version : Bond sucks

I wasn't gonna get this right away, but being a big Bond fan I bit the bullet, and after 11 hours, you run around and shoot everything that moves... the sad attempt at stealth and Bond moves doesn't even make playing any other way worth it. Run and shoot is the core gameplay I got tired of 5, 6, years ago.

The driving is JUST ok. A few good chases in 11 hours, especially the motorcycles but mainly I thought it was crap. You can't even powerslide. The car just breaks and slows down. There's supposedly a code to unlock better driving physics.. whatthehellever.

There's a free fall that was done better in Mission Impossible, there's a massage bit that was done better in FFX-2... the shooting... take GTA, Dead to Rights Splinter Cel and any other 3rd person shooter... mix them all together, with a half assed auto targeting system and you have this game. Instead of cool puzzles to solve in a Bond kinda way, we have fetch the key quests. Hand to hand is ok, but useless against multiple enemies. One boss fight with a classic Bond villain had some great thrills, but was totally hampered by the way hand to hand is handled. Very clunky. Every bit of the gameplay so far is rehashed crap. By crap I mean I'd give it a 6 or 7.
The story is the only reason I'm still playing and the productions values carry it. To be more than fair, I have a week to return it so I'll continue playing to see if it improves or my feelings change, since I like Bond, but whether I finish it or not, it's going back. There is a lot to like... for some... but I'm just really disappointed.

But you've played alot more of this game than I did.From the little that I did play it seem to play a tad better than Agent Under Fire did IMO. But I guess Goldeneye is still the best Bond game ever made.

I just don't get it. How can developers make a Bond game that can't stand up against an N64 game. Goldeneye was an awesome game but not so awesome that it can't be repeated with next gen features and graphics. Its not like people are asking for BETTER gameplay, just equal.

I've played about 4 missions so far (just saved Heidi Klum the fiirst time), and so far, I think it's a pretty good game. I got tired of the FPS Bonds, so I may just be embracing the 3rd person experience. I will keep this one, at least for a while. If I need any trade credti on my possible June games (Driv3r, StarCraft: Ghost, Fable, if these release on time), then I will probably trade it in.

Well DUH! Of COURSE Bond sucks...it has always been overrated trash. The N64 Goldeneye was ok but probably the most overrated game ever made besides MGS2.

I guess when you're stuck with PS2 you're bound to wind up with some disappointing (multiplatform) titles. Bond is no different...it will sell so well on PS2....and you'll STILL wonder WHY EA keeps its products sub-average....

I'm surprised they're still making Bond games, I stopped trying them after I tried Agent Under Fire, I'd say that was one of the worst FPS's I've ever played. When did EA get rights to the Bond series anyway? Bond shouldv'e ended at Goldeneye, that was the best Bond ever, and it always will be, I'm assuming.

Yeah I was tired of the 1st person perspective too. So I really wanna like it. I guess I was expecting a stealth title, but it's an action game with a little stealth here and there, where you're allowed. I'm about 20 missions in actually, and I don't wanna spoil anymore, but I had some probs with the A.I. and some scripted events. Like, no matter how stealthy and quiet I was in dispatching guards, other guards would become alerted, no matter what. Like the game says ok, stealth time is over. I replayed some missions probably 20 times only to find it doesn't matter what I do to try and stay covert. You expect a lot of action with Bond, but I find that every mission plays pretty much the same. And some missions are stupid... you'll drive to one place, just to have Q or M say, "now you have to drive here 007.. you drive there and nothing happens, you get some dialogue and then you have to just drive somewhere else. Now one good thing. The difficulty level is adjustable with every mission. If you play operative, it leaves out the sub-missions and miniquests. Like on one level, there's a key fetch mid mission. Play the easiest level and this key fetch is left out, the door is already open.

I won't say it's a bad game, and it is playable and there's a lot to like and some parts are really good.. I said it was crap, but I meant in relation to the scores it's getting. It's very overrated.

I just picked up this game last week. So far it is totally sweet! I like the 3rd person view much better than the FPS Bond games. This is definately the most authentic 007 game yet, with the voice of Pierce Brosnan. I'll be writing a review on the game soon.

Bond movies and 007 games shouldn't be about stealth or other Splinter Cell/Dead to Rights gameplay. The game is more about being in unforseen circiumstances and no matter what crazy situation Bond has gotten into he always looks like he knows what he's doing. This game manages to capture that aspect from the movies better than any other Bond game yet.

BTW please don't give out any spoilers. The game is relatively new and most of us haven't played through it yet...

Thats a lot better than the snooty BBC reporting that we could receive from them blimey british bastards.LOL If the game seems like it is a decently good romp I will go out and rent it and give it a whirl.

You make a very good point. Eventhough I'm still early in the game, I do notice that whenever I am stealthy, and one person sees me (after his buddies are already on the ground) and I have to shoot, every other enemy acts like he has already seen me and is in shooting position. Not even a silenced shot stops this from happening. I enjoy the shooting more, but EA should have made it so that the gamer has complete control of either stealth or guns-a-blazin'.

Oh man, I was actually looking forward to this game too. I'll still get it and try it out. I got Jet Li's rise to honor today and it's pretty good :). It is not great, but it's so much better than I expected. I also got FFX-2 International & Last missions. It pissed me off becuase all the text were in Japanese, but FFX international was in English. What the hell? However, FF7: Advent Children Trailer makes it all worth while. That thing is going to kick some major ass. That makes you really think about why Sqaure made FF: Spirit Within instead of this...sigh....

Yeah I wouldn't turn anyone away from it, especially if they are a Bond fan. I see what No1gamer means when he says you're Bond and it's about getting out of the impossible situations Bond is in, but I also agree with RHB in that I'd rather have the control. Some of the shootouts are pretty cool. But I might trade it for HtR though since I'm a Jet Li fan as well.

Everything or Nothing really captures the feel of the action scenes from the movies. I'm not very far yet but an example would be when Heidi Klum says, "James, do you know how to fly this helecoptor?" I shouted to my television, "I'm James flippin Bond, of course I know how to fly this helecoptor!" Then the action instantly changed from infiltrating a train with terrorists to a helecoptor persuit. That's just like a 007 movie you know?

Ideally, I would like to see a Bond game that is 2 to 3 hours long. But, features multiple paths you can play the game through (complete with multiple endings of course). So you can play through it in one sitting just like a movie. Catch my drift?

I've been busy lately but I plan on spending more time with 007 Everything or Nothing later this week and next week. I'm up to level 6 or so (the part right after the MI6 interlude). How is the co-op mode? I can't wait to try that out.

The new bond sucks, the previous bond sucked and the one before that sucked to, yet Goldeneye rocked hard, because it was different and well designed, two things EA arn't noted for.

I keep saying it, but nobody ever listens to me. EA can be a bigger conclomerate than microsoft for all I care, it won't change the simple fact that they don't inovate, they just piggyback and release multiplatform games to cash in on something previous that was better.

Strike was the exeption to this rule but they disolved it, which is a pity, Soviet Strike was probably the best game they ever made.

EA getting their hands on X men was the darkest news for games in quite a while, surely marvel realise that a whole new generation was made interested in their characters by Capcom, just give it to them for crying out loud.

And as for their bread and butter sports games, how the hell do these relics continue to sell in the continued face of far superior competition.

Thanks for the heads up, Brendon.
Can't say that I'm surprised though. Bond games have sucked for a while now. None have even come close to Goldeneye for N64, which is pretty sad considering the superior graphics of X-Box and PS2. It's something you'll never see Bond do in a movie, but in the gaming world he sucks d***. I hate to say it, but it's true. Here's to next time...maybe they'll get it right. Now I think I'll go have a martini and try to forget about this whole sordid mess. damian

You have a point there. But when it comes to Bond games, it would have been nice if EA would have stuck to mimicing Goldeneye. They could have simple taken the same game and just added new levels and different scenarios with improved graphics. Sometimes, it's better to stick with what works and forget about innovation. I can't believe I'm saying that, but in light of all the other $H!TTY bond games, they could have saved used from all this heartache and pain 'sniff'.

On a lighter note, Soviet Strike Rocked! Blowing up tanks and buildings and protecting civilian and military convoys in Mother Russia was never so fun (Great, I just blew my cover). Anyway, perhaps we can teach those motherf'ers a lesson or two. A few tactics from my KGB training come to mind. Beware, EA! We will strike when you least expect it.

I read somewhere that EA may bring back the Strike series and may be shown at this year's E3. I hope this is true and not just a rumor.

I can't disagree with you guys more. I think this latest Bond game is really the way I'd like to see the series go. The game has so many similarities to the movies it's unbelievable. I find it hard to believe that any company other than EA could have gotten the cast of characters in Everything or Nothing. The critics also agree with me. 007 Everything or Nothing is getting solid review scores.

Goldeneye was the cream of the crop in it's day, but to say that it is better than the modern 007 NightFire is just silly. The graphics are better than anything seen on the N64. The multiplayer in NightFire is much better than Goldeneye. Why don't you bust out your N64 and try a few games of Goldeneye. You'll see blocky graphics and about 16 frames per second. This was acceptable during the N64's era though. Also keep in mind that Goldeneye appeared before the market became saturated with FPS games, so it stood out more. You may not notice the difference unless you play it now (several years later) after seeing modern FPS in action.

And your EA sports simulation insult is a little far out. I still think that EA makes great sports games. Madden is still the NFL franchise to chase. I got NBA Live 2004 this year and I think it's a great game. Better than NBA 2K2, Shootout '03 and Courtside '02 (these are just the NBA games I've played).

Agreed. Die Another Day is a great movie.

But I can't complain about an entire new story with 2 new Bond girls Heidi Klum and Shannon Elizabeth. 007, M and Q are all in the game played by their respective actors/actresses. Moneypenny is M.I.A. (missing in action) for some reason though. William Dafoe plays the super terrorist role excellent (also see his Green Goblin/Norman Osborn role in the Spider Man movie).

Of course the game opens up with a great action scene then goes to the psychedelic music video by Mya. So when you think about it this game is another episode of agent 007. You know?!?!

Die Another Day is a great movie though.

After seeing Halle Berry topless in Swordfish and seeing her totally buck-ass naked in Monster's Ball (two movies I proudly own on DVD) I would'nt trade her for anything or anyone.When was the last time you seen Heidi Klum in the buff in a major motion picture?

I really hope this game does well. This is the direction I would like to see video games go. I was reading an interview with John Cleese (he plays the part of Q). And he commented that sometimes there's a possibility of a game making more money than a movie. That's true and I would like to see some of the actors benefit from the game as they do from the movie. At the end of the interview he said he would have to "go out and buy whatever he needs to play this thing (007 Everything or Nothing)."

Enter the Matrix should have been a great game. It was a HUGE budget game, but went wrong somewhere. I think they were too ambitious with it's design. If only Electronic Arts was in charge of the Enter the Matrix game it could have been great. I suspect that the poor quality of ETM was the cause of the poor sales of the final episode of the Matrix Trilogy. The series was the biggest thing around until ETM came out. Up until that point the Matrix series could do no wrong. The first matrix movie obvioulsy blew everyone away with the new style of slow motion special effects. The 2nd movie had IMO the coolest car chase scene in any movie ever. So Enter the Matrix seems like a sure thing right? Wrong. Then all the sudden there's no hype for the last movie in the series. I think that the general (non-gaming) public is starting to realize that video games are just as important to a franchise as movies are.

It went wrong because it was rushed mostly. If the graphics and control kinks had been ironed out, it would have been a pretty good game. As it stands, I didn't think it was the worst game of all time and a cousin of mine who's a big Matrix fan had fun playing through it together to see where the story arc went. The variety of moves was good even if you only needed a couple of them and the Focus and Bullet-time were pretty fun as well. Also considering the entire game was motion-captured, there was virtually no repetition of motions in cut sceens which you don't see very often.

The trouble was, they made it almost essential to play through the game if you wanted to have any chance at understanding some of the events in the third movie. An interesting concept, but the regular consumer is not ready for that level of commitment yet. Movies and games are still serperate enitities, people go to a movie as a momentary distraction, not as a life defining event.

I don't think Enter the Matrix is quite as bad as some make it out to be. It's just that it should have been better. And also the fact that the movies were unprecedented quality, but the game was lacking. But you see what my point is right?

And I completely disagree about the story of ETM tying into the 3rd installment of the movies! Some of the side stories in the movie perhaps, but the story in ETM went in it's own direction.

After seeing Halle Berry topless in Swordfish and seeing her totally buck-ass naked in Monster's Ball (two movies I proudly own on DVD) I would'nt trade her for anything or anyone.When was the last time you seen Heidi Klum in the buff in a major motion picture?

Agreed. Halle Berry is one fine-ass biatch.

Upper body, read: above neck, is better then Halle Berry but below neck, the title is Halle's.

Halle Berry does have a nicer body..not by much but she has that "I work out" look to her...I still think Rachel Lee Cook is cuter though.

Yea, I think she would make a good Bond girl (movie or video game).

I say put both Rachel Lee Cook and Halle Berry in the next Bond game/movie.




Up to today, I have had a good impression of this Bond game. That has changed since I had to put up with the freefall and New Orleans levels. Freefalling while trying to save Shannon Elizabeth is more of a chore than entertaining. I could have done without this level. Driving in New Orleans wasn't much fun either. I can tell the NFS: Underground devs did this level, considering the traffic pops up at every turn (just like Underground). I still like this game as far as being in 3rd person than 1st, but I don't see myself replaying this game anytime soon when I finish, since there will be other games coming out in March I will rather play.

I just put up my review of 007 Everything or Nothing.

CLICK ME RIGHT NOW!!! (http://www.videogamereview.com/Gamecube/Bond,007,-,Everything,or,Nothing/PRD_287817_4177crx.aspx)

It's pretty long winded but I want to win a free game for GOTM.

Hey, Xbots! I've got a question for you. Which version of 007 Everything or Nothing will sell better? The Gamecube or the Xbox? Despite the rumor that the Gamecube apparantly doesn't get very much 3rd party supprt, I'm pretty sure the Gamecube will sell more copies than the Xbox for two reasons. At the end of the Everything or Nothing commercial on T.V. it says, "Gamecube: Get Connected." It doesn't mention anything about Xbox live on the commercial if I recall. And the second reason is because many 007 fans own a Nintendo console. 007 games are always very popular on the Gamecube.

The next bond girl should be Kelly Hu as like a co-agent kinda like tommarrow never dies except shes arrogent and gets to far over her head. You save her and get her "reward" later. That would be a REAL bond game.

I think Kelly Hu would make a perfect Bond Girl. She's gorgeous. I always though she should have played Lucy Liu's part in Charlies Angels.
