Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)EA finally landed the right mixture of Hollywood polish and fun gameplay two years ago when it released Everything or Nothing, a 007 game that not only featured the likeness of Pierce Brosnan and the entire movie cast, but also their vocal talents as well. Now, after the horrible bore-fest that was Rogue Agent, EA has released From Russia With Love. This game is an expanded version of the classic Bond film, and one-ups the coolness of playing as Pierce Brosnan by allowing players to become Sean Connery.
Personally, playing as Connery is the coolest thing in the world for me as a Bond fan. Years ago Rareware's GoldenEye for the N64 teased players with an "all Bonds" cheat that would enable Connery, but this turned out to be fake. Now we get the real deal, complete with Sir Sean's vocals. He sounds a lot older naturally, and the accent is deeper and thicker, but would you rather have 007 himself, or some nameless actor doing an impersonation?
The core gameplay has not changed from Everything or Nothing, just boosted a bit. You still get a mixture of 3rd-person action and stealth levels, and also vehicle missions. A notable new toy is the jetpack from Thunderball, and it adds a new level of mayhem. Some of the minor frustrations still exist with regards to targeting and aiming, but if you made it through the last game you should be fine here. There's also some nice upgrades and unlockable content to go through, as is now standard with all EA movie-licensed games. (Note that the original name of SPECTRE is still off limits to the Bond franchise itself, hence the new name Octopus).
Overall I'm impressed with EA's effort here. The game does justice to the laid-back nature of the old 007 flicks while injecting doses of 90's-era explosions and effects along the way. It's not meant to be a huge, innovative game, and it shouldn't be compared to the next-gen stuff creeping around the corner. A must-buy to all Bond fans, and a very strong recommendation to anyone remotely curious about playing as Sir Sean himself.
