Huh, I didn't know they were still making the games. Still, I guess I really don't have much of an opinion on James Bond things in general. The movies usually don't interest me that much, and the games even less.

I still prefer the "Everything or Nothing" intro
Bah, the EoN intro has nothing on the Nightfire intro. Especially because if you turned on the game without a save you'd play a fast paced intro level and then it'd play. It's the Bondest Bond game of all.


Also reading the comments on youtube makes me glad to know I'm not the only one who instead of 'there's no love to be gained' heard 'there's no need to be gay'.

EDIT: Oh, I almost forgot. As always, Weird Al knows how to make a good Bond-like song:
Yeah, I loved that song when I first watched the move. 'Facing death every day is a tough job for any man / But his hours are flexible and he's got a great dental plan'. Oh man, remember when spoof comedies were funny? Those were the days. I was five.

All those diamonds keep making me think of those Old Spice commercials. The tickets are now diamonds.

Why do all James Bond intros have to be so awesome?

I will miss the James Bond movies, I hope they come back soon. I quite liked the intro though I do agree it is a little too similar to Casino Royale's, especially the part where Bond punches a guy and he turns in to diamonds.

My favourite Bond song is "You Know My Name", Chris Cornell sings that spectacularly. My favourite Bond movie, however, is Goldeneye. Brosnan was Bond to me, I grew up watching his movies.

Contract obligations...

Am I the only one who saw the nightvision goggles and thought "Alright! MI-6 Versus Thrid Echelon!"

Eh James Bond sucks... Golden Eye 64 is really my only fond memory and that's mostly due to context. That game has not aged well. So uh put me down for "this also sucks"

Joss Stone has an incredible voice, but that intro feels waaaay to slow and boring.

Tina Turner's Goldeneye was amazing. But End of You's cover was even better :D

Well that's good, I was actually a big fan of the Bond games on the original Xbox, I had four of them (That's Nightfire, everything or nothing, agent under fire and...*shudder*...Goldeneye: Rogue agent) and hopefully this one will go back to its roots rather than trying to be The Bourne identity.

Video gave me bad Snake Eater flashbacks...somedays you feed on a tree frog indeed.

That theme left me with this incredible feeling of "meh." Just not feeling the epicness of it and really they just copied some thing from the Casino Royale theme video. With the punching and the kicking.

What happened to my Bond theme videos with naked silhouettes of women cartwheeling into piles of bullets? Is that so much to ask for?

Also, no love for Duran Duran with A View to a Kill? Great Bond theme and easily the best Bond villain in Mr. Walken.

Daniel Craig looks out of place because he's a damn gorilla...the guy should think about slimming down a bit (or at least not hunching slightly all the time when he walks).

I understand he needs muscle to do those stunts, but Bond was never really a stuntman, was he?
He is a spy, and like a wizard his true strength comes from controlling the setting and preparation, not his fists.

I have some hopes for this one, though they may be misplaced. In my opinion, there was only one good Bond game and that was Everything or Nothing. It had all the actors, including hollywood actors that weren't even necessary to get the job done, and the gameplay was tight and very Bond-like. It was the ultimate Bond experience. If this is anything like that, I want it.

Just a side-note: Goldeneye is a fantastic game, but it doesn't have as many Bond elements to make as complete of a Bond package. That's not a dis, Goldeneye is one of the greatest shooters of all time.
Indeed sir, Everything or Nothing was a pretty epic game.

I havn't seen any gameplay footage of this, so until I get that and a demo, I am uninterested in your game, Mr. Bond.
