(More customer reviews)With MGM fighting bankruptcy, the next Bond film will be a long wait ahead. Gladly, they pushed out Blood Stone to make some sort of revenue. I had low expectations for this game, honestly. But this game took some liberties, and without a movie to restrict the game's story, production designers had a lot of freedom.
The gameplay is 3rd person. I couldn't help thinking of the awful Tomorrow Never Dies gaming from the PSOne era when reading this on the game info. The contols are very solid for a shooter. Activision went with a shoot/cover scheme simular to Rainbox Six series. The firefights emphisise keeping cover and taking time for that critical shot, spray and pray gunstyle gets you killed terribly quick. There's also an added melee feature that has Bond perform CQC on enemies within an arms reach. I've found this feature to be the most entertaining. You're constantly pushing forward toward your objective, with an enemy attempting to block your path you can smoothly take him down and not miss a beat on your sprint. A very Bond move not really attempted in previous games. On a side note, the game is visually amazing. The ambiance in the background is polished off well. And for the not so great. The game wants so hard to incorporate the Bond vehicle chase sequences, which could have been more refined before the game's release. Driving controls are very sluggish. I've attempted to get the driving physics down, but still can quite make the smooth drifting turns the game simply instructs. These driving controls are my only real complaint about the game. Thankfully, they took the time to really smooth out the rest of the gameplay. I also understand this is not a driving game and not the primary selling point, but if it's going to be put in the final product, it should be done well. Again, this wouldn't even be an issue if there was only a couple driving sequences throughout the whole game. I've only played the first few levels and half were a driving/vehicle chase. This seems to be the running trend for the game.
If you can manage with driving sequences that seem like a chore than gameplay, this game is an overall hit. Even with my minor complaint, I find the game addicting and entertaining. Highly recommended for any Bond fan, or anyone wanting to step away from first person shooters.
