It really shouldn’t be this hard to make a decent James Bond game, should it? As far as source material goes, 50 years of 007’s big screen adventures should have provided the team at Eurocom with a wealth of blockbuster stunts, style and subterfuge to draw from. Unfortunately, it seems like the development team has merely skimmed the back covers of a few of the DVDs in the James Bond box set and then decided to interpret them in the form of a poor man’s Call of Duty. As far as tributes go, this is like raising your champagne flute to toast someone and then using it to glass them in the eye.
Here’s the setup for the single-player campaign: in a scene from the upcoming Skyfall, Daniel Craig’s 007 is accidentally shot by a female sniper whilst fending off an enemy on the roof of a moving train. Bond then plummets down into a river below, and while his lungs fill up with water he’s struck by a series of flashbacks to his previous adventures, each of which serve as the five different missions in the game.
