007 - Everything or Nothing.

*Taloniss* · 02-19-2004, 07:00 PM

Fantastic game. This is as close to a Bond movie as a game has gotten. The storyline is engaging, the voice work is top notch (how could it not be with this cast?) and the gameplay is great.

I love that you can auto aim, and then aim more precise while auto aiming. Auto aim is good for when you're on the run, and the precise aiming is great when you have the time or want to conserve ammo.

The driving/flying levels finally feel worthwhile, and not something that EA threw in so they could claim "diverse gameplay."

Highest recommendation.

I lost faith after Goldeneye, but with your good ratings, I may give it a rent.

~~Trunks~~ · 02-19-2004, 07:16 PM

you have to atleast rent it, its really great.
P.S. kind of hard at times.

*Brodie* · 02-19-2004, 07:25 PM

I think there's a thread about this, but, what the hell, keep Bond alive.

I tried the demo where you're going down the dam and I couldn't get the combat right...do I just run around while shooting? Do I go for cover and take potshots? It just seemed odd that the combat felt a bit stupid, maybe it was just me...

This game has been crossed off my to do list, and this picture will tell you why,

He looks like you.

He most certainly does not! And if I did look like him, I'd stick my head down a garbage disposial. I can't stand the ****ing sight of Cleese. He's a little ****, that monster destroyed Desmond's character.

Bitter much? And it's not like he booted the guy of the set, Desmond died (RIP). Someone had to replace him as Q.

*raphael_is_cool* · 02-21-2004, 09:52 AM

John Cleese is a legend, although his role is somewhat loads more comical than it should perhaps be

Either way, it's not his fault

~~Jarrah White~~ · 02-21-2004, 12:58 PM

He was seen as R, credited as R, remembered as R, therefore should remain R. And let's face it, he made a hopeless job as Q. If Desmond saw that, he'd be tossing and turning in his grave.

So now the question remains, why should Everything or Nothing interest me when it stars the very man who destroyed Desmond's character? What's the point of buying it when there is no decent Q scene? Cleese is the main reason I hate Die Another Day.

That was only so as not to cause confusion in TWINE , and the letters aren't person specific. M has been a few men, and a women, and it's always M.

Because it's a good game that is as close to playing a Bond movie as we've got?

All gone to waste thanks to John Cleese. Here's my suggestions, either do the Live And Let Die route and not feature any Q at all, or bring back the R title.

How hard it it to just create a CG Desmond for the game and use that? That's what they did in Nightfire.

*Taloniss* · 02-21-2004, 02:22 PM

You're loss on missing out on a great Bond experience, but to each his own.

Personally, I think that having the people who do play the characters in the movie be in the game adds a certain quality to the game.

And get someone to try and immitate his voice?

I think that's a bit of an extreme reason for hating a game though

The voice actor from Agent Under Fire sounded exactly like Desmond!

Isn't Q (Desmond) dead in the Bond series?

No, Q (that is to say Major Boothroyd) said he was training R to follow him in TWINE.
