James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing

THE BAD:
The bad in James Bond:Everything or Nothing is also in the title...Nothing!!

SUMMARY:
This game combines everything from the normal but much improved other James Bond's games, to great improvements such as car chases, motocycles, tanks and even flying a helicopter. Not to mention that tehere are about 25 levels that are not too short but not crazy long like some other games can be. This game is a must for all. Any James Bond fan will love this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best James Bond Game Yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best James Bond Game Yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best James Bond Game Yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best James Bond Game Yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best James Bond Game Yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE BAD:
~The multiplayer

SUMMARY:
Well let’s start off saying that this is a vast improvement from the past games in almost every way. The game of course starts you off in the middle of action, as this is Bond, and it set off a good impression of what the game was going to be like.

Unlike its predecessors the game is set in a 3rd person camera angle. As a result of having 3rd person it has allowed EA games to do more character movements, which immeasurably helps out in the game.

Though out the game, James Bond once again visits exotic locals and this gives more of an atmosphere when you are playing. The immense level design and the amount of levels (over 25 levels) give more replay value that is most needed when it comes down to action games.

The other unique thing about the level design is the multiple path’s in which you can take. For instance in one of the earlier levels you have the choice of taking a motorbike on the dangerous path or the car on the safer path. This means you can replay the level and get different ways in how the level is.

The unlockable’s in the game are an enormous improvement from the past games as you can even unlock a gallery mode, in where you go around in a peaceful gallery where you look at the many artworks thanks to EA games artwork team. The other unlockable's are excellent and at times you feel like going back to the gallery just to chill out from the tensons from the difficulty of the game.

The cast for once is the same from the movie and it

quote Q

makes you feel like you are playing Bond

THE BAD:
The controls, slightly iffy frame rates, why Jaws?

SUMMARY:
I sat down to play this game with pretty low expectations, I hadn't looked into it, I was borrowing it off a mate and I was expecting another iffy FPS. I was very glad to be proven wrong.

This is third person Bond!

The game itself is excellently done, the actors from the films all play their respective part, the graphics are very nice indeed, the "Bond moments", the story is very Bond and it all comes together like an interactive Bond film. It's a lot of fun.

However, it's not all good. The controls for instance, what on earth were they thinking? This game has seriously weird controls, and I'm good with console FPS so it's not be not being able to use both analogue sticks . The control system is a little odd, left stick moves, right stick moves camera, R1 fires, L1 locks on, L2 crouches and R2 for pressing aganist walls. It doesn't sound bad, but somehow it just doesn't work.

The targetting system is also atrocious. Take this for an example; I was on one of the last levels, running towards a group of enemies, there was one furthere away and to the left, same on the right and one directly in front of me, carrying a SPAS-12 shotgun. I hit target. Locked on left, I hurl expletives, let go of L1 and try again; locked on right. I then get blasted point blank by the shotgun, dying instantly. It is the strangest and most annoying system ever.

Howeverthis game has more than enough SERIOUSLY cool moments to gloss over that and still make it worth a look. The vehicle sections in particular are awesome.

I've said that the graphics are very nice, and they are, but I feel obliged to mention that they're not always as smooth as they ought to be. One particular cutscene springs to mind where bonds is mid jump in his Porche Cayenne Turbo and it is, and for no good reason, going at about 6 fps. This could just be stylistic for that cutscene, but it's not isolated.

My final complaint is; why Jaws?! He appears near the beginning, for no reason, and continues to do so from time to time throughout the game. Never being seen with the main bad guys or anything, it's bizarre.

However, I still think you should give this game a look, once you master the controls it's possible to forgive the other faults and submerge yourself in being Bond

THE BAD:
Somewhat flaky lock-on

SUMMARY:
Fans expect a lot in a James Bond story: sardonic wordplay, gorgeous women, menacing supervillains, vehicular mayhem, rough-and-tumble fistfights, huge explosions, cutting-edge gadgetry, and 007's trademark improvisation. Well, expect away, y'all--Everything or Nothing delivers. It feels even more like a Bond adventure than some lesser chapters in the film series. (Timothy Dalton?! Honestly.)
Unlike previous 007 games, which had you merely shooting a million minions, or at best recreating set pieces from the most recent film, EON encourages you to think and act like Bond. Use Q's rappelling device to seek the high ground (oh look, a sniper rifle!), throw a flash grenade to distract the guards, or open that stream vent to incapacitate 'em. Once you get into the MI6 mindset, it seems totally natural to throw yourself off a cliff sans parachute--you'll figure out something on the way down--or drive a tank through that building. Things can't go too wrong with Bond at the wheel.
Speaking of wheels, these vehicle scenes are sweet. Not content to beat Midway's Spy Hunter at its own game (it does), EON lets you drive a variety of weapon-equipped vehicles along branching paths full of obstacles, jumps, and lots of explodable, enpendable enemies. Now i know why Bond drives by the seat of his pants--it's really fun.
Although 007 can defeat enemies with stealth attacks, plain ol' pugilism, or Q's gadgets, the bad guys' tendency to buddy up means it's often simpler to take them out with bullets rather than Bondian guile. An occasionally iffy lock-on system and a jumbled inventory cause a little trouble too, but it's nothing you can't handle. After all, you're Bond. James Bond.

THE BAD:
Nothing, is bad, it's just brilliant!

SUMMARY:
Not even completed it yet, but from what I've played, let me tell you, its amazing! If your looking for a good Playstation game, buy this one. The gameplay and graphics will drive you wild, lol. Yes, you might get people saying no, don't buy it, it's not good, just a waste of money, well, from my point of view and maybe quite a few others love it, and I think its amazing!

Multiplayer, are great too. There so fun. Also there are good graphics on the girls.

To tell you the truth the whole game is great, If I was you I'd buy it. Don't miss out on it.

Throughout the game there is also a great story line, which is great for you to memorize and find out.

THE BAD:
Nothing.

SUMMARY:
This is the greatest bond game ever. the levels are long and practically every detail is put in the graphics and gameplay to make it a very enjoyable experiece. EA have worked very hard on this game and they have done a bloody good job on it.

GRAPHICS : 5.0 : Bloody good.
SOUND : 5.0 : Original music and voice charactarisations.
GAMEPLAY : 5.0 : The new 3rd person prespective is great
LIFE SPAN : 5.0 : 3 difficulty settings, multiplayer missions and 27 ordiary missions.

THE BAD:
Multiplayer.

SUMMARY:
It's a decent game, but I usually just play the multiplayer feature on James Bond games. I don't on this one though because it isn't, quite frankly, good. The sounds and voice overs are pretty good though, nice actors doing them as well. Great to see John Cleese will do the voice in the game as well. The levels are pretty good although some take a while to complete. Weapons are quite decent, not much of a variety but it's still ok. The third person view is probably the best thing. I didn't like Nightfire much because of the view that I'm actually Bond. I don't like the feel of that. Graphics are great, nearly real life! Controls are pretty good as well but take a while to get used to. That's why there's training though.

Rent the game before you buy it. With the rating I gave, you'll see that I didn't find it that good. Don't waste a load of money on this unless you're sure you'll like it. Unless you're a real diehard James Bond fan, and there are some out there, because he's had a few other games out. My personal favourite is Goldeneye for the Nintendo 64, this doesn't compare. You don't get the same excitement you once did and killing the enemies (loads of them..) is simple.

There's a level where you climb down a wall, you use some gun that fires out a grasping thing, and it'll attach itself. That alone is cool. If you're quite new at it, don't worry. There's a stage where it tells you everything and it's a practice for you, before you go into the difficult levels. I must admit, the practice is pretty good and I enjoyed it. Just playing the game was a bit boring though.

THE BAD:
Erveything else SUCKS, multiplayer blows, and the vehicle handling is sketchy, the targeting is very crappy. It locks on to your team mate in multiplayer, what's the damn point of that.. Hmmm... let's see, shoot bad guys or team mate... I WANT TO SHOOT MY TEAMMATE SO WE FAIL! Morons made this possible!

SUMMARY:
The game is a piece of crap, I've played all the Bond games before, and this one is one of the most horrible. The game is so stupid simple that it tells you what to do and when to do it, NOT A CHALLENGE! A six year old kid could probably figure it out. Thank god I only rented it, and didn't waist alot of cash. If I could I'd get my money back. So even if your a huge Bond fan, like me, I'd recomend you save your cash!

THE BAD:
the graphics are kind of a little sketchy around the edges. auto aim is a little off targeting the person you dont want it too

SUMMARY:
James bond comes back from a mediocre nightfire with some daring moves. Switching to third person was a good move but the auto aim is a little off. Of course that doesnt take away a lot from the experience. The voice acting was superb. Pierce Brosnan, William Dafoe and Shannon Elizabeth are among the names that had done voice work. The gadgets were very well thought of and prove to be very important. level design has also gotten less stale since nightfire. Also the controls for the ps2 are a little loose but yu will learn to use them and love them. THis is an improvement since nightfire but still not up to goldeneye standards as goldeneye will once again remain the best bond game which is a little dissapointing since that was on n64. CMon EA you could do better. For bond fans this will be another way to poo 50 out of your wallet but people that havent been a big fan of bond should rent it if anything.
