PS2Home: "To complement the largely pedestrian combat we find Bond having access to plenty of gadgets as well."
With the release of "No Time to Die" on the horizon, Newsweek has taken a look at the best and worst James Bond video games of all time.
They didn’t make the cut but I also liked From Russia with Love, Bloodstone and the MP in Quantum of Solace.
Yeah QoS had some really fun MP. It had some lag issues when I played it, but it was cool.
The best was always going to be Goldeneye! Very fond memories of the split screen MP on N64!
Agree, wish someone never stole my copy, then one of the games on ps2 my cousin borrowed it and never return. I did like everything or nothing and song.
Have to say, this was one of the very few times I fully agree with a "best/worst" list. The top 3 are definitely my top 3...in that order, no less.
Agent Under Fire was the shit. Probably the only one that comes close to Goldeneye, imo. Multiplayer matches in the Church level with everyone using grappling hooks and sniping each other to death. Or the harbor level and everyone rocket launching each other for hours. Lots of fun.
I love that multiplayer facing bots and grapping hook anywhere around the environment for some brutal kills lol!!! That game was so fun, and it had 60FPS for PS2 and Gamecube it was buttersmooth.
I actually thought Quantum of Solace was pretty good. Treyarch did a decent job. The levels were well designed and had actual replayability. It was a little bit too action-heavy, and not having driving sections was a mistake. But I still enjoyed my time with it.
I'm excited to see what IO Interactive does with the license. I think they're currently the best choice. Hitman laid a great foundation for a Bond-style game. They aren't known for driving gameplay so I doubt we'll see any, but I'm still optimistic about the game.
JoeTooSlow from Button Bash Gamers writes about 5 games that he'd like to remastered on this generation of consoles.
Just give me a Baldies remaster and we'll call it even, nice to see Tony Hawk on the list though, loved that game!
My 5 games series would be :-
Resistance
Killzone
Maximo
God of war
Dead space
Maybe even sneak a Max Payne in there too?
Command and Conquer+Red Alert franchise... Same games just updated graphics and engines
yes, a thousand times yes!
same treatment as Starcraft and AoE2 would be amazing!
James Bond has been absent from the shooter scene of late. Isn't it time that the video game franchise lived another day?
We should see his return but the thing is they wouldn't be the same
There is two problems
1) Crappy developers always work on them
2) They try and tie into the upcoming films plot with the current Bond
Only thing I can think of is if someone like NaughtyDog for their new IP do a Spy game and take their inspiration off James Bond like they did with Indiana Jones for Uncharted. Would be awesome if the games had their own theme song aswell.
Yep they need a good developer and they should go retro and base it of a Sean Connery bond, Aston Martin DB5, vodka Martini, pretty ladies, and some old school charm.
Agent Under Fire, and Nightfire were awesome. Just make another bond game like those.
From Russia With Love was pretty sick, used to love playing PvP split-screen with the jetpacks and a golden gun!
Sony makes 007 movies! Why don't they make the games themselves too?
