Blood Stone is the second Bond game from Activision that greatly expands upon the gameplay variety of their previous effort. It adds melee attacks allowing for a more stealthy gameplay, as well as excellent car and boat driving missions that become a highlight of the game. Its downfall is that, after an intense pre-title sequence, the first half of the game gets off to a slow start with too many empty hallways and a general lack of fast-pace action.
The second half improves on this greatly, but since the story mode is only hours, the game feels lacking overall. The studio behind Blood Stone , Bizarre Creations, was shut down following its release. Goldeneye , a remake of the Nintendo 64 title, was released on Wii on the same day as Blood Stone.
It featured motion controlled shooting with the Wiimote and movement with the Nunchuck. Don't let the term 'remake' confuse you, this game is a new game from the ground up, that is heavily based on the original. Like the original, the single player experience is excellent, but multiplayer death matches are where the lasting value comes about. Although supporting online multiplayer, Goldeneye shines best in local split-screen shooting bliss, and is one of the best multiplayer titles on the Wii.
A remastered version, Goldeneye Reloaded , was released on PS3 and a year later, although it wasn't as well received. Eurocom, the studio behind Legends , went bankrupt following its release.
The poor reception and sales also lost Activision the Bond license. The premise is that Daniel Craig's Bond has flashbacks to missions from five Bond films, including Goldfinger and On Her Majesty's Secret Service , that are retold in a modern day setting. The gunplay is repetitive and dull, the boss battles are just quick-time events, and the stealth mechanics are outdated and not fun. On top of this, none of the Bond cast came back for voice acting. The concept just doesn't work, and the butchering of classic Bond scenes leaves little left for even a Bond fan to enjoy.

All new original single-player storyline that builds on the Bond legacy with new and familiar characters from the Bond universe.
Both titles feature gadget laden cars in a vertical-scrolling racing and shooting game. The problem with The Spy Who Loved me is the bad controls, and the low production values. For instance, the boat sections have a little map to indicate where ramps and dead-ends are, but they are sometimes incorrect, causing frustrating deaths.
On the plus side, the graphics and music are good on the Amiga and Commodore 64 versions. James Bond The Stealth Affair was a point-and-click adventure game released by Interplay in It features a CIA agent who has to locate a stolen stealth plane, and was developed as an original title. It was released as Operation Stealth in most of the world, but Interplay licenced the James Bond name for the US market in an attempt to increase sales.
Despite this, barely any changes were made for the licenced version, with Bond still working for the CIA for instance. Overall the game has mixed reviews, though it does have its fair share of fans. Perhaps one to check out if you enjoy point and click adventures. James Bond Jr was based on the animated series of the same name, which followed the adventures of Bond's nephew James Bond Jr. Though both versions shared the same story, the gameplay and missions were different.
For the latter, the levels were either standard platforming with punching and shooting, or helicopter and boat levels with one-hit deaths. Both games were generally considered to be fairly mediocre for , though they hold up better than most of Domark's Bond games.
It's a standard platformer where you jump and shoot enemies in environments that aren't fitting of James Bond, such as a forest. The main problem is the repetitive and dull level design.
The Master System and Mega Drive both had their fair share of great platformers, and The Duel doesn't stand out at all. It's just another mediocre game trying to cash in on a franchise tie-in. Consistently rated the best video game adaption of a film, Goldeneye for the Nintendo 64 was a revolutionary first person shooter. Modelled on Pierce Brosnan's debut in Goldeneye , the game introduced a split-screen multiplayer deathmatch mode that became a standard for the genre.
Goldeneye was the first game to demonstrate that first person shooters were viable on home consoles, selling over 8 million copies. It became the third best selling game for the N64 and remains the second best seller for developer Rare, just behind the 9 million selling Donkey Kong Country. James Bond was the first handheld James Bond game, appearing on the original Gameboy very late in the console's lifetime.
With the black and white graphics and dated hardware the Gameboy offered, a first person shooter was out of the question. Instead, developer Saffire made a top-down perspective action-adventure game that was more akin to Zelda than to James Bond.
The gameplay revolves around solving puzzles, finding hidden items, and engaging in simple close-range combat.
