Product Description

In James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing the world's greatest secret agent returns in his fifth interactive adventure. First, you will think like Bond, using espionage, tactical skills, and gadgets from the Q-Lab to analyze your situation. Then you will act like Bond, using his stylish physical skills, clever subterfuge, and bold personality to once again save the world. Finally, you will see every Bond moment from the new third person perspective that shows the Hollywood cast playing out a real-time cinematic action adventure that could only come from the world of James Bond.

Returning as James Bond is Pierce Brosnan, who will lend his cyberscanned likeness and voice to the character. The rest of the cast will include new Bond girls as well as old and new Bond villains. The original script will take players through exciting locales in four continents including the Valley of the Kings in Egypt and the French Quarter in New Orleans.

To play out the challenge of thinking and acting like Bond, players will make choices ranging from direct confrontation to subtle misdirection when interacting with enemies. When it comes time for combat, Bond can engage in hand-to-hand fighting, using objects from game environments as weapons, as well as accessing a guns and gadgets. The discerning player, however, may find a multitude of different options ranging from disguise to distracting guards to using cover--and using these Bond-style tactics to outsmart the bad guys will reward the player with special enhancements including Q-Lab gadgetry. Other new features include two-player coop missions and four-player multi-player arena modes, all set in third person views and featuring multiple playable characters.

Amazon.co.uk Review
Billed as the first James Bond film in video-game form, Everything or Nothing certainly doesn't lack in cinematic presentation. For starters it's got a cast of A-list Hollywood stars that most real movies would be jealous of, including Dame Judi Dench, John Cleese, Willem Dafoe, Shannon Elizabeth, Heidi Klum and, of course, Pierce Brosnan. There's even a title song from Mya and fully licensed Q-enhanced vehicles such as the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish and the Triumph Daytona 600 motorcycle.

In terms of gameplay though Everything or Nothing is far less extravagant. In contrast to previous Bond games it's viewed from a third-person perspective and looks and plays not unlike a more action-packed version of Splinter Cell. There are problems with the entirely manual camera system though--particularly the lock-on for the aiming system, which is frustratingly random in choosing which bad guy you target.

The vehicle sections, which use the same graphics engine as Need for Speed Underground, are less obstreperous and offer some of the most genuinely enjoyable moments as you hurtle in pursuit of bad guys riding heavily armed cars, motorbikes and helicopters. Additionally, both on foot and when driving, the game gives you the chance to trigger "Bond moments" when you find shortcuts or dispatch bad guys in particularly imaginative ways.

Everything or Nothing is perhaps the ultimate example of style over substance in video games, but there's just enough of the latter to ensure that everyone but the most pernickety of gamers will find something to enjoy. --David Jenkins

Everything or Nothing
It seems years since i played this game, but having read some of the reviews here i felt the need to go back and play it through once again. And i seriously dont regrett it.
The games strength is certainly in its atmosphere. No bond game since goldeneye has succesfully recreated the male fantsy of being james bond as this game does. The game is full of exotic locations, high thrill motor bike chases, intense gun fights, and engrossing plot developments. It is very much like taking part in your own bond movie.
The graphics are great, and the gameplay smooth. My only complaint with the game is that some of the levels are overly short, and in places the game is far too easy. However the atmosphere of the game will keep you coming back for the ultimate bond experience on the PS2.

IF you dont own it buy it now your missing out!
Second only to one other bond game the almighty golden eye for N64 everything or nothing is the best for the modern console you can buy. Its game play, scenarios and graphics excell on all levels.

Playing in James bonds position is always a good choice for the boy insdie us. Playing with guns in the spy situation has undoubtibly pleased generations since the console was invented but everything or nothing gives us that bit extra!

Guns, gadgets and fast cars create a world that although wasnt shown in the movies should be its story line is belivable, its game play is un matched and its difficulty challenges the player throughout.

Using helicopters, DB7 vanquishes and countless weapons to fight numerous baddies including the players favourite Jaws brings light to the james bond era. this game is a must have for all formats and if you dont own it or havent played it i suggest you do cause your missing out!

Shaken AND Stirred!!
I have to say that I've only played a 2 level demo of this 30 level game, though I'm sure that these 2 levels are practically complete, if not totally. The levels look absolutely fantastic, as do Bond and the other characters. The fights are great, with class shooting and punching - if you sneak up behind someone Bond can tap them on the shoulder then knock them out!! The driving I tried was great coz it uses Need for Speed: Underground's engine, letting you rip up a busy highway on a superbike with missiles and a flamethrower with style. So basically, this game is sheer brilliance - it should be made into the next film! ;)
