After starting the game first time you will see James wounded and falling to the river, seeing flashbacks from his past (reminds me of Hitman: Contracts story) and you return to that particular time. But when you start the game it can become very disappointing. 007 always relied on stealth and precise shooting. For those, who like to use Mr. Bond's favourite gun more - sorry guys. In this game you can only rely on it in some stealth sections. Other than that - better not mainly because on enormous amount of enemies. Starting to remind me of Call Of Duty games with all the constantly boring shooting and enemies appearing out of nowhere and being everywhere. Also cover is buggy. You can be safe in a way only behind a solid wall (and only if fully standing behind it). Enemies are like magnetically aiming at you all the time even when they shouldn't know where you. (remember those old school games?). Weapon sounds are also very cheesy. Many weapons sound like child toys. Developers tried a new way of melee combat, replacing the traditional qtes with a new blocking and attacking system. It is a nice change but it needs more polish. Also some driving stages are a pain in the bottom because game constantly draws you into crashing no matter that you try to avoid an obstacle (especially noticeable in the skiing stage). Graphics and locations are made great. Even Fort Knox. In overall this game is a bit of a disappointment and will be liked probably if you are a big fan of James Bond or just like many enemies and many bullets to kill enemies with. Fans of stealth will be disappointed. RESULTS: GOOD - detailed graphics, beautifully made locations, nice to relive the movies, use of bond's gadgets is a nice addition, melee fighting is fresh. BAD - enormous and tiring amount of enemies, some weapon sounds are cheesy, broken cover system, enemy targeting is unfair, driving stage controls are not working like they should, location bugs (cannot get where visually can).
