Out Tuesday, from Activision. Features levels from Goldfinger, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Moonraker, Licence To Kill, Die Another Day, and at a later date as DLC, Skyfall.

I love Bond games, and this one looks pretty sweet. Anyone else picking it up?

I fully intend to, but only when it's about $10 used in a few months.

I've liked even the 'bad' bond games recently.

Supermallet

Do they change the Bond based on the movie the level is from? That is, Connery for Goldfinger, Lazenby for OHMSS, Moore for Moonraker, etc?

chuckd21

Nope, all Daniel Craig all the time.

Supermallet

Well, I've always wanted to relive Die Another Day with a different Bond. Because that movie is so great.

I'm a fan of the 007 games, but I can easily see this game dropping price really fast. I can wait.

I've waited a year now and still haven't found Goldeneye Reloaded for under $30. Anywhere. And I've been looking.

Wonder what parts of Goldfinger, OHMSS, Moonraker they're doing.

Supermallet

I hope for OHMSS it's the sequence where you go to each girl's room in the allergy center and seduce her.

It's been cheaper at gohastings (

Just to note, this will also be on the Wii U, but nobody really cares about that.

Also you can get a used copy of Goldeneye Reloaded for $15 from GameFly. Their Used copies are usually pretty damn good.

Damn, I wasn't really paying attention to this with all the games out or due out but this looks awesome.

edit-Then of course I read this:

Well, that was a brief, yet disappointing review. But the silver lining? 5 hour campaign = Redbox rental-friendly game. It's not showing up at any kiosks online yet, but hopefully it will later this week.

chuckd21

Yep, picked it up at Redbox this morning. Will play through it tonight, pick it up during the Holidays when it goes under $20.

chuckd21

IGN hates it. 4.5/10.

And it's only Daniel Craig's likeness. Someone else does his voice.

LosingMyMind

Just like the movies!

All of the recent Bond games have gotten shitty reviews, but I've enjoyed all of them. So, whatever. I'll probably buy it during black friday sales.

chuckd21

Well, I believe I murdered half the population of China in the Goldfinger level.

Rob V

Agreed. Nothing wrong with them at a discounted price. Don't expect Bioshock and you won't be disappointed.

I have loved the past couple of Bond games even thought that got pretty below average reviews. Bloodstone and Quantum of Solace were very fun.

Mike86

I was kind of thinking of buying this one too as I'm usually a sucker for the Bond games. I actually thought that Quantum of Solace and Bloodstone were fun games too. Goldeneye on the Wii I though sucked big time though. Never played the Reloaded version on XBOX or Playstation 3 so not sure if any improvements were made or not.

Decker

Rent it first. $2 for a night via Redbox. I just did and...it's not very good at all. Clunky, unrefined, glitchy. Terrible stealth mechanics. Guns-blazing might hurt your final score, but it seemed to be the most efficient way to play it. Only played Goldfinger but didn't like it at all.

I did encounter a hilarious glitch though : While checking Goldfinger's office I was scanning for fingerprints. Mid-scan, Pussy Galore stands right in front of me and I'm suddenly meticulously scanning her left breast with no way to exit until her field mammogram is complete, apparently. Don't know what I discovered there, but it was certainly worthy of a chuckle.

Supermallet

I'm getting a copy to review, so I'll post back in a few days with my thoughts.

jdpatri

Wow. You'd think that with the potential of having all the great Bond action scenarios at their disposal they'd take the time to at least make the game playable. It's not hard to make a game playable for Bond fans. Really all we need is the music and attention to detail. The gameplay just needs to be serviceable.
