Another Bond game in the already long list, but I would say that this one has proven itself to be an out-standing addition to the series. This is by far the best Bond game which blends action with an authentic James Bond experience. Starting with some breath-taking James Bond style introduction where Bond (The real Pierce Brosnan himself) walks in and the superb theme song playing over the speakers, you have got to be wondering: "Am I watching a Bond movie?" With contrast to the previous games in the series, this one has a major leap in terms of graphical presentation and game play; added to the fact that this time around E.A Games has made the entire game running on THX sound system which is crisp and sweet. "Everything or Nothing"(EON) also features an extensive acting crew, which of course includes Pierce Brosnan, and also Heidi Klum, Shannon Elizabeth and Mya starring as the Bond girls. Mya has even lent her voice for the theme song of the game. Q and M looks exactly like the ones from the movie. Why is the experience authentic? Well first of all, just like any Bond movie, you will be amidst an intense battle at start, and through out the game you will be required to act and think, like Bond. This includes using various Q-Gadgets, driving sports car, shooting machine guns from your good old Aston Martin as well as riding dangerously stylish on a bike. You have a 3rd person perspective view in the game where you will be viewing most of the action clear and un-obscured. In game cinematic and CGs are well engineered, even the "start menu" of the game appears very appealing to the eye. Playing as James Bond, you can either choose to get up close and personal into melee combat, throw your enemies and make them flip over, or you could silence them using sleep darts and even camouflage is possible! Certain new elements like the "Bond sense", "Bond Moments" and "Power mode" are added to this game to enhance gaming experience. There is a total of up to 30 missions, and depending on the different mode of game play, certain missions will vary. There are also un-lockable M16 missions after you finish the entire game. In conclusion: Pros: Superb graphics, great acting crew, THX sound system to blast your speakers, non- stop fast-paced James Bond action, acting just like Bond in the movies, numerous driving missions, this is by far the most authentic James Bond experience. Cons: Animations of Bond girls could be further improved, Driving controls not sufficiently smooth, typical "save the world" story line, certain bugs of camera angles where auto-aiming does not work. Final verdict: If you are a James Bond fan or you like the movies, this is a MUST buy, otherwise action game fans should rent this game and decide.
