went into town today and picked up nem a copy then thought oh well and went and got another for me
i very nearly got fallout 3 instead but i was plesantly pleased with my purchase


the game is based on both daniel craig movies casino royal and quantum of solace
it uses the CoD4 game engine and is made my Treyarch aarrgghh i know but after playing the world at war beta i can trust then yet again.

no lunch box like doodle got im afraid i just had to balance my sarnies on my lap
but what you do get is one of the best bond games i have played yet, the single player is just like cod4 looks and plays like it.
when your close enough to an enemy you have to press one of the 4 buttons on the pad to disarm then and take them out a bit like how it was done in the borne game.
level design is very nice most things can be shot cups, tv's, pc's chairs etc i have not tried to shoot through cover yet so not sure if this carries over from CoD4 but the fluidness of CoD4 gameplay deffo does.
there is also a clever run to cover option if you aim your gun at part of the map and hold down the a button you will run to that park and take cover behind the object, a bit like in GoW.

i can see the single player being as much of a pain as CoD4 was to complete, i have been playing it through on easy there are 4 difficulty settings the top one being 007 and i have seen a few places now that i already know will be very very hard in 007 mode.

played a bit online today and there are 12 maps and 7 game modes from deathmatch to bond v's where each player takes it in turn to be bond and defuse 2 of 3 bombs.
online does not look as good as single player but alot of games are a bit like that

its sad that this game has been lost in the mad influx of game releases as it could be very nice online with a load of CoGgers hint hint !!!
there are no ranks but a funny scoring system where you earn points to buy new weapons and gadgets to keep but not really had time to look at it yet
the old proximity mines are there so nem will be happy LOL

Sounds nice! I was expecting to pass this one by as another mediocre film tie-in/FPS, but if it's like CoD4 mixed with Bond, it's definitely going on "The List"

if your 'LIST' is anything like my 'LIST' then we both have games on it from years ago not purchased yet
unlike nem who will buy every tat game she can find

Too right! GOW1 is still on my list... I've been stealing Roguey's

Added to my LIST too.

If anyone needs me, I'll be in my lunchbox. Ooh food, warmth and metallic walls. Lovely.

does it measure up to the classic Goldeneye of Ghost of N64 past?

if you imagine CoD4 online without the xp ranking, air strikes choppers etc etc, with bond modes like bond vs and goldengun then thats what you get really its hard to explain

i dont think anything will be like the old goldeneye on the 64 as that was sort of the first true multiplayer fps on a console

but we had fun yesterday playing it

hmmm...sounds interesting, might give it a go. There's a lot of new releases about, but nothing that really takes my fancy at the moment - never got on with RPGs, and the sandbox games have lost some of their shine. Far Cry 2 might get a look in though.

I have it. Will give it a go later.

I think I'm going to get this once the price has come down a bit, it's not something I want to play right now, but I do want to at some point.

GOW2, BK:N&B, and COD5 on the other hand....
I want them NOW!

make no bones about it guys its no cod4, but it is a fun game online and we had a laugh playing it yesterday.. it has its flaws but if you wanna good laugh with a load of coggers this is a must buy... some good modes on it and you may recongnise a few of the maps

its a good single player game too so i would give it a warm 7 out of 10

nice review chonky !

it is a good game, andrew has not put it down ...

but like chonk said its alot of fun on line ... something to tie us over till gow2

but....but...Golden Eye.....

I'm tempted to buy, I'm defo not gonna see the film, Mr Craig just isn't bond to me. loved him in Layer Cake and he's an awesome acter but just not bond

Just had a few games with nem,bod and chonk and what a laugh the shotgun is more like a sniper rifle it can kill from miles the weapons are good with lots of scopes and red dots the maps are big too.I know there is lots of games coming out at the mo but this one would be fun with a room full of CoGgers.

And nem had fun with the remote mines (it must be a claymore thing)

it was fun yesterday afternoon.. it was esp nice getting shot many many times by Andrew!!!! Oh Yeah Oh Yeah its my birthday!!!!
