007 Legends - Playstation 3

There are many who review so well that I can only make small additions from my point of view. Between PS1, PS2, PS3 and Vita I own about 300 games. About all are action and role playing. I like a game that I am capable of finishing. I have and enjoy 5 of the Bond gamesThis is one of those games but the only one I've been able to complete. I am 79 and the brain or the fingers don't work as fast as they once did but I love the vicarious thrills I can get from playing these games. Only one thing I would suggest to the producers, there are a lot of people like me out there who want to be your customers so give us a super easy level or as a few I have run across that gives the player the option to skip past a difficult BOSS after giving it your best and not being able to beat it. This way we can enjoy the game as well as the thrill of having beat it. I can always go back and play it on a harder level which I often do if I like it.

Classic Bond multiplayer game. I bought it for my kids to play, it's a hit with them. No longer anywhere near great graphics, but the gameplay is solid and they have gotten hours and hours of play out of it (they haven't played the single player, only the local, multiplayer). There is a paintball mode in case you do not want blood in the game. I chose this game because I don't want my kids playing the Halo's and Call of Duty's because they're still young. Even without paintball mode, the screen turns red (like blood running down and covering the screen) when they die. It's not graphic at all like more modern shooters. As I mentioned, they have not played the single player mode, so I cannot speak for the rating for that part of the game. They can play up to 4 player split screen. We haven't tried online multiplayer.

When 007 Legends was first released, I checked some of the reviews, and decided to hold off on picking it up. Now that the price has dropped quite a bit, I went ahead and ordered it through Amazon. I’m glad I did, because I’m having fun playing through the campaign. Granted, the game plays a lot like a Call of Duty game, but there’s something about assuming the role of Bond, especially in the segments that are inspired by the actual movies. The graphics are not as polished as the Call of Duty series, but 007 Legends has a sharp, crisp frame rate that works great while running through stages in massive shoot outs. There are weapon attachments and character upgrades you can use experience points to unlock, which again, the feature seems to mimic Call of Duty, but it certainly adds to the gameplay as you try to unlock certain weapon and character upgrades while playing through the levels. The gadget mini-games are an interesting diversion to the run-and-gun sections, but can seem a little clunky at times. Some portions of the campaign levels can prove to be challenging, like the skiing section of On Her Majesty's Secret Service (where you have to race down a hill, shooting enemies while dodging trees, all while trying to catch up with Teresa before she gets too far ahead). There’s also missions where you can only use stealth to get through (being spotted will result in a failed mission), which can prove tricky, since it seems you can get spotted pretty quickly. Fortunately, these sections are pretty sporadic – most of the storyline is run-and-gun. Occasionally, you’ll have to duke it out with an enemy hand-to-hand, which sets up a boxing-style mini-game (like Punch-Out!!). Though they aren’t necessarily a challenge to get through (at least for me), it breaks up the shoot-outs, and it gives you a great sense of accomplishment when you knock out the main villain of a level. If you are a Bond fan, you’ll probably want to give this title a try. If you enjoy FPS games, this might be a great affordable title to add to your collection.

This is a great game. I like it that the characters look and act like the characters from the classic Bond films. Hacking the devices is cool with the phone is cool. So is the laser wristwatch, which can be used to take out the security cameras. It's also good to see Skyfall as downloadable content. I see a lot of reviews on here complaining about the game. I'm not sure why. I have found no major flaws. This is a fun game and has a lot to offer and is a must for any Bond fan. People need to stop nit picking/complaining and just play the game and enjoy what's there...
