James Bond - From Russia with Love (PS2)
This James Bond game is taken from the film “From Russia With
Love,” and
is easily the best Bond game yet.
Gameplay: 88%
The
game has the best missions to solve as there are around twenty levels to
conquer, most of which are based on scenes from the actual film. The
gameplay is hard but no game is fun without a challenge. In the missions you
can drive in classic cars, speedboats and other vehicles, as well as fly
with jetpacks. You can also customize your Bond character with weapons and
gadgets such as a laser watch and sonic cufflinks. The levels go from dark
mazes to underground sewers, most of which you can see if you watch the film
again. Unfortunately this game’s multiplayer mode is not very good which is
a shame.
Graphics: 94%
The graphics
of this game are so real it looks like you are watching a film in the
cinema, but instead of watching your playing. When you are playing the game
the graphics are top quality with great explosion effects, while Sean
Connery really looks real.
Sound: 92%
I know sound
isn’t the most important feature of a game but that doesn’t mean to say the
producers can’t make it good. The producers of this game must have thought
that sound was a key issue because they have made a real effort to make the
sound good. The sounds in this game are amazing in every aspect with the
music, gun sounds, voices and vehicle noises, but the best part of the sound
is Sean Connery’s voice.
Value:
81%
The game has
loads of different levels and objectives to play, and lots of things to
unlock which mean you get lots of single-player fun out of this game.
Unfortunately due to the weak multiplayer games the score falls a little.
Conclusion:
This bond
game is amazing and has great gameplay. Its overall score is very high as
there are so many fun missions to do, but it would have been in the 90’s if
the multiplayer mode had been better.
Overall Score: 89%
