bond bond bond

2303-may24-2004
the other day i had the urge to shoot someone in the face. conveniently, it was my birthday, so i bought myself the newest james bond game, everything or nothing. i just beat it today (on normal difficulty all the way through), and i gotta say, it was amazingly fun. it was like playing a bond movie, something you can't really say about any other bond game ever. it really followed the flow of a movie, with all the requisite silly crap in bond movies (catching a girl falling off a cliff, action sequence before the opening credits/main menu, bond being horny). also, pierce brosnan did the voice of james bond, and shannon elizabeth and heidi klum and some other peeps were heavily involved with the voice acting. it all gives the game a real bond-movie feel. anyone who has watched a bond movie knows exactly what i mean.

anyways, the game was fun, but a bit easy (a few parts were real hard, but it wasn't an even spread of difficulty). it was pretty addictive, and so i got it 11 days ago but i can't say it was short because i played the hell out of it, partially because you just get into it and you just keep going, you don't wanna put it down, and also you don't die enough times for it to be discouraging.

anyways, end game review. more useful posts to come.

don't discredit the usefulness of a good game review. i was on the fence as to whether or not i should puchase the new bond, considering that i was somewhat disapointed with the last one i bought, but you just sold me. job well done.

Yeah, the new Bond game is good. Of course my opinion is a bit skewed but it's really easy to get into and fun. The only thing I didnt like was the silly SUV didn't work (I couldn't figure how to get out of the garage with it), but no worries the trusty motorcycle's right there to get the job done.

Overall - 7.3 red tamales!

re: system?

as long as we are doing reviews of games, lets extend said review to systems. i want to buy a video game system and i am trying to decide what to get. it seems to me that x-box is the best choice out there, especially now that EA has signed on to x-box live and i can play crazy cross-country games with people, which sounds exciting. x-box has good games, lots of memory, and i like it. am i off base here? should i reconsider? doesn't this sound like a letter to an advice columnist that should be ending with me calling myself somethign stupid like "system failure in chicago" or something?
