me and my friend just bought 007 reacing because we are both extermly rich. we have money everywhere but anyway we played the dumb, boring multiplayer in this game and got bored in about a second. there wasnt enough levels and they were horrible anyway. so then we played the missions and beat the game in about 59 seconds and we realized all the missions stinck. so after doing this we realized 007 racing is the worst game of the minute.

Horrible control

The basis of any action video game, regardless of genre, is control. Ambiance, graphics, music, story, cool-factor, etc. mean little if control is an issue. Slower paced games can fudge a little on control, but a game that requires timing and reflexes lives or dies based on the control. In short, this game has horrible control issues. The James Bond license is handled well, but the game is an unfun chore to play. There are better vehicular combat games out there.

Euh...how can a Bond game ever be this BAD

Appaling...I was very excited when I first saw this game and bought it.After I played it though I almost wept with dissapointment.
-Graphics are choppy and mechanical
-Controls are robotic and unbalievably annoying to use
-Missions were pathetic-it was basically just the car getting in the way and making you(Bond)incredibally unmobile
-Camera views were infuriating I better not even get started on them there's a 1,000 word limit so...
After I played this game on 1 player I was disappointed and so I tried multiplayer which also made me wanna puke. I crawled back to the store of purchase and begged them to exchange it for me and finally ridded myself of this pathetic excuse for entertainment.Torch this one on site folks, No joke.

DON"T BUY THIS GAME! When I bought this game I was exited. I opened the box and put it in my PS2 and it was impossable. It was not immpossable because of the missions but because of its junky graphics. All it does in my house is collect dust and sit because I am never playing it. And the only reason I gave it one star was because I had to or I coulden't post my review. PLEASE DON"T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON A STUPID GAME LIKE THIS!

Never underestimate the power of the playstation to mess up a game with a great concept. This game looked great all the way through the preview stage and must have stopped there because all the levels are extremely short and easy. The cars are fun to drive but that novelty wears out fast. Do not buy this game expecting to get a game like Need for Speed (eventhough it is made by EA). Expect more of a Twisted metal meets driver. Eventhough that in itself would be a good game, they don't even pull that off. Don't buy this game, instead buy Porsche Unleashed(psx) or 4x4 evolution(dc).

Visually this game is terribly lacking. The car models are swarmed with nasty looking jaggies that I've never seen before in previous car games on the PSX. The models look somewhat decent, but their outward appearance is very grainy, thanks to the jaggies. Not exactly very nice car detail, and I'm frankly disappointed. The environments are very shabby, they flicker like crazy and on top of that look downright pixilated. When you look at the floor, or the backgrounds you should notice how incredibly ugly everything looks, it makes me even wonder if Eutechnyx spent any time on the game from E3 2000 up until the release date. The frame rates are fine, but at times may act up, and don't get me started on the pop-up 'cause this game is right up there with Driver 2. The game's collision detection is also a pile (...), and the overall look of the visuals looks hardly alpha staged, the only good thing I can say about the visuals is that they move and there are colors, otherwise everything else, including special effects look like demo titles running on a first wave PSX tool-kit. But I must admit that the CGs are some of the best in any PS game yet.

The concept of the game is quite good, only if it was better executed. You are James Bond of course, except you are Pierce Brosnan not Sean Connery or the other Bonds, that is bad impact number one. The game's plot is totally unrealistic, you will see Pierce Brosnan in every single vehicle, including a DB5 and tons of other classic Bond vehicles. I believe that it was a stupid move by the developer to only put Pierce Brosnan in 007 Racing, because true Bond fans will be completely turned off by the game. Losing some critical points there, 007 Racing also suffers from un-balanced and boring missions, such as picking up people, shooting down a helicopter with only one try, escorting this person, that person, blah, blah, blah. By the second mission you'll definitely notice what kind of horrendously boring product your playing. If you folks want to know, there are 15 missions to complete, all of which are explained to you in a mission briefing, but none that I would like to listen to. There are a few decent stages, take for example the Highway Hazzard, what you do here is you follow an 18-wheeler and your goal is to pop the wheels on the truck using a hi-tech device. In case you're wondering, the two-player missions need not to be played, you just won't have any fun with them at all. Some of the weapons that James Bond will use are missiles, homing missiles and machine guns, he will be able to use shields and replenish his lives by picking up health kits. Through the game you will be taken through tons of different areas such as New York, Louisiana, Eastern Europe, and Monte Carlo. 007 Racing is a lacking game with a great concept, if only the developer had taken time to balance out the missions, and perk up the visuals, we could have had a great game, but there is always the PS2 version which is currently under development.

Audio is decent, but the songs are far too repetitive and can annoy the heck out of you. The voice acting on the other hand is quite good, but it seems as if Q would rather have the returned in one piece instead of having James back healthy. While playing the game you'll hear Q commenting on your performance, and may give you some hints at times. Most of the time the voice acting is found during the mission briefings by M and they can be quite long, but the clarity is good though so there isn't anything painful to be dealt with. Not bad audio effects, but if the soundtrack was worked on we could have had something much better.

Controls are just too sloppy, every time I try to make a turn it feels like the emergency brake has been hit. The cars have absolutely no realistic feel to them at all, so car enthusiasts must look elsewhere. I'll give the game its nice analog features, both analog sticks work and they have a good deal of sensitivity. I honestly can't say much more about the controls, other than that they feel very sloppy, there is no realism to speak off and the only thing that's good about the controls are the analog sticks.

Sadly what was once a very promising game, turned out to be a miserable failure, 007 could have been a good game if its visuals were worked on more, because I know that PSOne can do so much better than this, the gameplay needs to adjusting and the controls should have been tightened up for better gameplay. With horrible graphics, unsatisfactory and tedious gameplay, and loose controls 007 Racing is barely worth a purchase, let alone a rental, just stay away from this game if you know what's good for you and the Playstation.

6.1 / 10

Personaly when I took this game out of the box I was ready for some intense action and a challenge. But, when I started to play I was VERY dissapointed. The picture was very poor and the missions were extremely easy. I tried mulitplayer to try to get the feel and I also though that was extremly poor. So, I took it back to the store and asked for my money back. If you are looking for a good game this is not the one for you.

If you like Bond..... DON'T BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!

I really enjoyed this game for the first two minutes. Then I realized, I should've kept those three dollars and bought a comic. This game has no story. It has the least entertaining missions. They are sooooooo pointless!!! Also, this title doesn't even live up to its name! There is no racing. All you do is shoot cars and people, save girls, and deactivate bombs.
