Might I ask where the missing star in the overall score came from? From the review, you seemed pretty impressed with the game overall, and you didn't really give a clear defined reason for the slightly lower rating, so what brought it down. The slightly bland stealth portions? Or the fact you didn't get to fly the Osprey?
Sorry but this game is pretty poor. Seriously if you're considering buying this game check out my review in the User Reviews forum first. Bottom line is, you will really regret spending the asking price on this one.

OT: I am also wondering why it was so low. You seemed like a kid in a candy store that had a jar of peanut butter (see, I actually read the article). The only flaw that I could see is that its linearity would bother you.
Holy craps! If this games is as good as it looks and as good as you say it is, I'll have to get it for sure! It's about time another enjoyable Bond game came out, and if this one's the best yet, it's going to be awesome! express.
nobody has a license for bad puns. prepare the shark tank slave. he shall pay for his insolence
OT: looks good but not for me

Quite generous in my opinion.
Whilst I did thoroughly enjoy the game and I did feel like Bond, the story and dialogue are terrible(this is apparently the guy who wrote the Goldeneye film, and if that's true he should be ashamed beyond belief), as is the acting (except Judi Dench and Daniel Craig, who were really good), I still can't work out why the hell it's called Blood Stone, the investigation sections are pretty dull and the cutscenes too often display the things I should be doing.
Oh, and if there's blood surrounding the screen I know I need to stay in cover, and I know the when the ammo is flashing I need to reload, and I know what the button is to do so; stop treating me like a moron!
HOWEVER, it is a step in the right direction: the takedowns feel great (if a little disconnected), the focus aim works better than Conviction's mark and execute, and the investigation sections at least display the knowledge that Bond does more than hit things and go vroom vroom in his car.
What these games really need are a new publisher, and a collaboration between the guys who made Hitman: Blood Money, Splinter Cell: Conviction and Arkham Asylum.
3/5 for me.

I haven't played the game, but I assume Blood Stone refers to blood diamonds from Africa? Do they play a role in the story?Woodsey said:
