EA Games is awful at making games. They put nice graphics in it, but after that, its probobly the worst storyline, worst gameplay, and worst overall game experience.It's okay to rent, but you can beat this in about 2 hours on easy, and my friend beat it on 00 agent in about half an hour. Really bad game.

The ok game

The game is poor and the story line does not tell you a lot about what you should do. The aiming for the shooting stinks; you always have to hold L1 to aim and than R1 to fire. But the graphics are really good and the punching is better than Nightfire. This is not a game for you if you like shooting. If I were you I would rent the game first or wait for it to come down in price.

ya this game blows...

i hate this game! it drives me nuts. i bought the first 2 bond games and i was very surprised with all the gadgets and the good graphics. but now, they changed over to third person. this is the worst thing they could ever do! i hate this game! the multiplayer has something messed up with it, and the lock on target thing sucks. cuz u could be like a mile away and ur gun could just automatically lock on to the player. it's very unrealistic. SO NEVER BUY THIS GAME it is horrible.

Very, very disappointed

Most of the reviews I've read here are from people who don't own this game. I just went out and bought it. I am a very loyal bond fan, but this game is just not fun. I could only play it for about 30 minutes before I got disgusted. The gameplay is terrible. You are basically on auto aim the whole time. The 3rd person camera views are not as intuitive as you would like. Often you can see the person you would like to shoot, but the system locks onto someone else. The gameplay is nowhere near as good as SOCOM (another 3rd person shooter). Not sure what the big hype is over this hand-to-hand combat mode either. Now Bond gets to punch people. Strongly recommend you rent this and see if you like it more than I do.

Bond, james Bond

I rented it from Blockbuster. Hated it so much that I took it back the same day. THey should have kept the Bond games in 1st person, insteadd of in 3rd like this one. It is very hard to see anything, and the controls are messed up. Also, you have to unlock the multiplayer!

avoid this

Ok, I am a fan of the other James Bond games, and I eagerly waited to get this--let's just make that clear. Problems with this game: (1) auto-aiming: this game has all the shooting sophistication of GTA3 (i.e. very little) the previous Bond's were much more challenging and realistic; (2) multiplayer (offline): you can't even play the one on one battle mode out of the box, you must "unlock" it first!! wtf! that was the best part of the earlier Bonds' and one of the reasons why everyone liked them; (3) multiplayer (online): tried that earlier today, after spending about 20 minutes making various passwords and usernames I find that not one, not one, other person is playing online--which for me is a big draw on new ps2 titles--contrast this with MOH: Rising Sun and Socom which both have robust and easy to join (not to mention crowded) gaming communities online--and, even if you could play this online, how much fun would auto aiming be anyway? (4) saving/moving between sections of the game: this is very tedious and time consuming--you are prompted to save and do all kinds of stuff constantly in this game, very annoying.

That is just some of the problems: some other aspects of this game are neat but they are far outweighed by the dissapointment when this game is looked at in comparison to the previous, excellent, Bond titles. And I am not a flamer, I wanted this to be a great game.

overrated piece of garbage, plain and simple!

my god, it's amazing how overrated some games can be.

supposedly the "best" bond game.. and i love bond, i love FPS action games, surely i would love this game, right?! wrong.

things start off looking fun... oh, a nice little tutorial to teach you cool moves. cool weapons. but things immediately reveal themselves to be terrible. you repel down a wall.. then you have about 6 guys shooting at you from all sides. but uh oh, their bullets are apparently much stronger than yours! and there's no health to be found anywhere! wait, you're telling me bond packed all these incredible technological tools in his backpack, AND HE DOESN'T BRING ANY MED KITS??? jesus christ, you must be joking. that wouldn't be a problem if surviving wasn't nearly IMPOSSIBLE. and remember, this is just the FIRST part. you have more parts to complete after this, while TRYING to stay alive.

ok, so let's say you're a wonderful gamer and you DO survive. so what? the shooting action is BORING BORING BORING BORING BORING BORING BORING. press a button to auto aim your enemy. pull the trigger. that's it! no aiming at all! just pushing a button. wow. this is what games have become? give me a break. i've played great FPS games on PC like call of duty and half-life 2, and this doesn't cut it, at all. besides, who decided that bond is supposed to be some superman with a pistol anyway?? isn't he supposed to be more of a spy than rambo?

EA's Worst Attempt at a Bond Game Yet

I have played both of EA's previous 007 games...Agent Under Fire and Nightfire. Though they lacked a good storyline, they much better than Everything or Nothing.

Well, apparently, EA Games decided to switch from the traditional first-person shooter view to the third-person view, which allowed you to take up more stealth oriented segments, interact with the enviroment and (Finally!) use some hand-to-hand combat moves. Everything or Nothing packs a great storyline (And a good opening video) into the game but lacks the hardcore gameplay of past 007 games.

For those who don't know what I mean, running through an open area firing at enemy snipers isn't as fun or seamless as Nightfire or Agent Under Fire was. Most of the action oriented segments aren't as fun at all...firing at enemies seems way too sluggish for some reason and not as fluid as other third-person shooting games such as Enter the Matrix (Maybe because of the auto-lock on system). But as you, suspect, 007 also gets a good ammount of driving missions to go along with the actual running and gunning attitude. A few of these missions pretty much comtemplate for the somewhat dull car chases in EA's last games. For example...you can't say riding a motorcycle through a crowded highway equipped with at least 600 rockets, a wheel-mounted flamethrower and machine guns isn't fun, especially when fellow enemies are driving around you on motorcycles. Plus, you have to dodge cars when going at breakneck speed. Its much more fun that guiding a BMW Z3 through Hong Kong (With a nod to Agent Under Fire). In addition to all that, Everything Or Nothing adds a notable new feature to the game called Bond Sense (Or something similar to that name). Now before you think Bond can be alert of danger and was bitten by a radioactive spider (Which he wasn't), Bond Sense can be activated by a touch of a button. The screen around you turns blue (Though the enviroments and enemies are completely visible), and a bullet time gameplay emerges, except that Bond cannot move while in this mode. It basically just allows you to look around at whatever ambushes you have currently got yourself into, check the status of your enemies, and plus, it looks cool.

The game also adds a co-op campaign, so two players can team up and complete a series of missions that is not even closely connected to the main storyline. You get a list of secret agents who you haven't heard of before and complete a variety of rather annoying missions. It could be pretty much improved though...without traditional FPS gameplay it loses the luster that it could have had.

The game also features a skirmish gameplay, in which two players can duel it out in an arena. However, don't get your hopes up...its pretty much dull. The arenas are compact and rather small (You only receive one at the start of the game), and the gameplay could have been improved by a lot. All you basically do in one arena is run up and down the stairs, pick up rocket launchers and aimlessly fire it at people. And if you want a quick kill, you can go to one of the flashing blue buttons on the wall, press it, and either one of tbe two small floors will unleash an explosion, or a crisscross of lethal trip wires will appear.

Overall, you can see that Everything Or Nothing (However vehicular combat skilled it is) lost its luster...the multiplayer games aren't the insanely fun FPS bombardment games that they used to be and the co-op game is fun at the beggening, but soon loses its touch. My reccomandation is not to buy it...it may be worth one or two rentals, but definetely not a purchase!

Too much hype.

This game was fun at times but controlling the character was too frustrating with aiming and movement. Nuff said.

A dissapointment from EA

I've been playing James Bond games for a long time at friends houses etc. Golden Eye, Agent Under Fire, and Night fire were all awesome games in terms of gameplay and the multiplayer arenas. The arenas were probably the most attractive part of the games to me. I liked the team capture the flag, etc. I finally decided to get my own James Bond game(just for the arena mode and the other multiplayer options). Once i got the game, it was a great dissapointment. The arena modes were just pointless and got extremely boring in a matter of 20 minutes. I personally think this is because of the 3rd person view. What really stinks is that you cant play any team arenas and u cant play with computers!! Besides the arenas the co-op modes, etc. were ok... The one player seemed really boring. The story wasn't very appealing. Besides the one player and the multiplayer, I also tried the online mode. It was awful. The co-op mode was a great dissapointment in online mode. Personally I feel this is EA's worst James Bond game. Even golden eye was much better. If you want to get a good James Bond game I strongly advice you to get Nightfire.
