James Bond - Everything or Nothing

I took a little trip down memory lane today via popping in James Bond - "Everything or Nothing" into the Xbox and playing through it again. And I have to say --> THIS is how Bond should be. How could they leave out Q/R in Casino Royale? Wifey even noticed that Moneypenny was left out as well. Reorganization of the franchise is one thing, but messing about with the poor sods who should be going through mishaps in the lab for the audience's pleasure is another.

27 - count them - 27 stages excluding multiplayer - and they aren't even easy stages make this a game worth getting. You might be asking, why on earth talk about a game that's been released 3 years ago. Simple. It's one of the best games I ever bought for the Xbox, and it's a good lift after the movie that *was* Casino Royale. Maybe I just needed a little Bond therapy from the good 'ol days.

For the first time, Pierce Brosnan lends his voice to the character, along with a star studded cast including Willem Dafoe as the villain Diavolo. Eye candy is included, Bond being Bond - there's Heidi Klum, Shannon Elizabeth, Mya and Misaki Ito.... mmmm she's cute. Check out her pic below along with a sample. Mya sings the title track aptly named "Everything or Nothing" - and it's done pretty well.

Mya again just hanging around the fireplace. Does that dress make her butt look fat?

Misaki Ito...mmmmm ^^

I'm freeeeefallliiiiiinnnnnnnnnn.........*SPLAT*

Stealth stage where you use nothing vs guys with guns. Yeah, it's hard. But then the baddies often are both blind and deaf. It's a prerequisite attribute for baddies.

Dammit, they left R out of Casino Royale......the Evil Sods!

Just some of the vehicular carnage you can cause

So it might be old, but for those hankering for the old Bond experience or just want to play your favourite secret service agent, this is a very good game to get. They've refined many of the niggling problems that plagued the last 2 Bond games so you should get almost seamless gameplay here. Now to try and better my last score. Good memories indeed.
