    Let's everyone take a moment and stop whining about what the game doesn't have and take a look at what it does: Action, Gunfire, Explosions, James Bond, Great moments from past bond movies, and best of all FUN! I love this game. Honestly, I find the story setup no different really then Black Ops. Fading in and out of different events while in a torturous present moment. Now if you'd like to continue to cry like a little girl who had her pigtails pulled I can easily play a few songs on my miniature violin. :)

    I LOVE THIS SO ANYONE WHO DOESN'T LIKE IT MUST JUST BE WHINING.

    Hey James Bond affectionados. Do you remember that scene in the film Goldfinger when James Bond has to storm his way into Fort Knox and then he is confronted by a big tank which shoots deadly laser beams. You know, and then he has to blow it up with RPG's whilst slaughtering dozens of Goldfinger's henchmen? Oh wait hold on, that's ridiculous. That would make no sense at all... but who cares, it's in 007 legends.

  • robert-castleberry - October 18, 2012 6:42 a.m.

    You're right. Should be just like the movies where we get to walk around the whole time eavesdropping and getting captured and MAYBE shooting one or two people. That would be FUN!!! People complaining about shooting in a FPS? What has happened to the gaming community?

  • Hobogonigal - October 19, 2012 3:04 a.m.

    Laser tank. Goldfinger. RPG Three words that any James Bond fan will recognise do not match together. Also, you may have not realised but plenty of FPS games incorporate something called the 'stealthy approach'. Being one man instead of having superpowers, James Bond in both films and books tends to use the stealthy approach over Chuck Norrising his enemies. Some FPSs with stealth elements include games like Dishonoured, Deus Ex, Far Cry, Crysis, Rainbow Six, Thief and Chronicles of Riddick but of course its not as if these games are really popular so I can understand you not realising this... The game commemorates 50 years of Bond films and the inaccuracies just make me want to facepalm. Oh and to your ending comment; the gaming community is still the same, because there are still people like you who post without actually thinking things through first-hand.

    It's the best bond game do u know how to destroy the arms on moonraker mission on ps3 I can't do it i can do the first onr

    I'm sorry, but I don't own this monstrosity of a James Bond game. IGN might do a walkthrough though if you're lucky?

  • lazer59882 - October 18, 2012 2:12 a.m.

    ahhh so this explains all the james bond related articles and stuff you guys have been writing... wait, no it doesn't, cause apparently this game sucks.

  • talleyXIV - October 17, 2012 3:37 p.m.

    The Auto-Aim in that video is ridiculous.

  • ObliqueZombie - October 17, 2012 3:24 p.m.

    Also, I think you guys should add the developer(s) to the "More Info" section of the game, unless it's already stated and I'm missing it... ?

  • ObliqueZombie - October 17, 2012 3:23 p.m.

    I know it's Activision, but the gunplay literally looks like Call of Duty, no exceptions. And the fact that the melee system (one of the "good" things about the game) is a series of QTEs and uninspired "finishers" is sad. Good thing I was never a Bonde fan, at least not after Pierce Brosnan.

  • robert-castleberry - October 18, 2012 6:47 a.m.

    People rave about how good the gunplay is in Call of Duty, but complain when it's used in other games. I know it's Hershey's, but the chocolate literally tastes the same in my Mounds as it does in Almond Joy. Bastards! :) You were a pierce brosnan fan? That explains everything! lol

  • ObliqueZombie - October 18, 2012 9:24 a.m.

    It's one thing to have gunplay as steady and reliable as Call of Duty, and another to simply copy it from the sound, the recoil, and even the way it's held in the player's hands.

  • Hobogonigal - October 19, 2012 5:40 a.m.

    Pierce Brosnan was great! Don't disrespect the Brosnan (apart from Die another Day. Say whatever you want about that film it was rubbish bar the Aston Martin Vanish)!!!!!!

  • Fursnake - October 17, 2012 3:22 p.m.

    So take past Bond movie elements and mish mash them together with a contrived plot gadget to set them up, add a half-assed tie to the new Bond movie for that extra bit of franchisation. And none of them thought that sounded like a waste of time on paper?

  • Net_Bastard - October 17, 2012 1:52 p.m.

    Great. Now another company is getting the boot.

  • Moondoggie1157 - October 17, 2012 1:10 p.m.

    Leave it to Activision to release an incomplete game and expect a full payment price... Pathetic. This seriously scares me, what if this becomes the norm? I mean, I never thought DLC would take off like it did, but now releasing a games ending as said DLC? That's low, real low... Even for a new shitty Bond game.

  • tehtimeisnow - October 17, 2012 12:27 p.m.

    yah i new that this game wuold suck cuz its just a bad call of duty ripof ha ah no thakns ill just play the superier black op 2 insted

  • shadow707 - October 17, 2012 1:05 p.m.
