I bought this game as soon as I found out that it was available, and I couldn't stop playing it after I got it. If you are expecting it to be like Perfect Dark or Goldeneye, then you'll be in for a surprise, because TWINE is much different. Of course, you still have all the gadgets and weapons that Bond is famous for, and you stil have a license to kill, but there is not as much violence as in the other games of this type, and there's more espionage and such. This game is more realistic than any other games, too. When you reload it's not like in Goldeneye where the gun disappears for a second and then it comes back with a full clip--in TWINE it pretty much takes the same amount of ti8me to reload a weapon as it would in real-life. This makes it much more deadly, too, though. The characters look almost exactly like in the movie, except for Q, who just looks fat. The levels are pretty much right out of the movie, except for a few additions that just make the game cooler. The multiplayer features are actually pretty sweet despite what everyone else seems to think. You can pick any of the levels and more, unlike Goldeneye or Perfect Dark, and there are many different scenarios and weapon loadouts to chose from. The weapons are even better in this game, and they look very realistic, and fire realistically. Anyway, everyone should get this game.
Better Than GoldenEye!

This game ROCKS. I got it about 2 months ago...and I still play it every day. The best part is that it's not REALLY hard, so it wont leave you spending $$$ (money) on stupid guides. If you just got the game, you can pratice with an Al Bot before you're ready. The Q gagets. They are SO cool. You can have X-Ray Glasses, Night Vison Goggles, Stun Items, a Cutting Laser, Trank. Darts, and other neat stuff. Before I end, MULTIPLAYER. Not only can you get Q gagets, but there are new game types and "Ways to Die" as I call it. I hope you found this helpful.
this game is TIGHT!

this one blows goldeneye and perfect dark away. Perfect dark was a little unrealistic for me, and goldeneye was a good game, but The World is not Enough has a lot better graphics. plus it actually has voices, so you don't have to read subtitles. It's a lot more realistic, and did I mention the graphics are a lot better? the sound effects are much better than goldeneye, it also has cutscenes before the missions. overall, i liked this game a lot.
The best

I got this game for christmas and i love it. it's a lot better than goldeneye and perfect dark which i have both of them too. theyre awesome. but they're nothing compared to this game. the multiplayer is the best. the missions are great. theyre pretty easy for you people who might have trouble on these games. I play his game 24/7. i'm quite good at it. i like the way the characters actually talk instead of u having to read what they say. it's just like the movie. complete with cimenas before and after u beat a level. there is only a couple of bad things. one is that if youre used to playing perfect dark and goldeneye then u might have a bit of a struggle adjusting to this game because the sighting is completely opposite. and the second is in the multiplayer mode when u r picking the characters u can't have bad guys and good guys on the same team. but overall i think this is the best 007 game there is. thats why i gave it 5 stars
the action pact but hasen't changed much

If only Rare made this game, maybe it would of been better. I can't even compare this game to Goldeneye or Perfect Dark. Here are the reasons why I don't like this game:
1. When you start a level, you have to wait 5-10 seconds for a level to load, which is really annoying.
2. You have to use a controller pack, so without that, the game is worthless (I think EA really wants your money)
3. The game doesn't even have half of the levels Goldeneye or PD has!
4. You don't have ANY enegry and you get killed quick
5. You can't blow up anything like you can in Goldeneye
So compared to Goldeneye, Id skip this game.
This Game had a Licence To Kill

I thought this game was pretty good. It delivered great controls and amazingly smooth graphics. Eventhough there is loading time, the voice overs make up for it. This is about as good as a first person shooter that EA is going to make. This game was close to the movie but of course has to be changed for some obviouse reasons. The multyplayer was OK but not as good as Perfect Darks. If you have not done so, rent this game. It's not really a buying kind of game. It's just not big enough.

TWINE is a great first person shooter. No question about it, the graphics are better than Goldeneye. The gameplay is great, and except for a few minor glitches here and there the game is wonderful. EA brings great new gadgets and weapons and difficult challanges, they did a much better job than Rare did with Goldeneye. Pros: Good gameplay, stellar graphics, nifty weapons/gadgets, secondary fire mode, has a good replay value (you don't get bored with after playing it six times), realistic reloading, i think it is neat watching James load each bullet idividually with the Suisse sniper rifle.
Cons: Multiplayer needs work, more levels, you have to wait about ten seconds for the level to load (absolutley positively the games largest flaw) Blood? When people get shot, they bleed. *You need a memorypak to save your game Overall, this game is definetly worth buying and should be on you game list if you thought Goldeneye was half-decent. Hope that helps.

The only good EA Bond game that I've played. It's nowhere near any of the classics, but it could at least hold its own against other games of the non-classic variety.
The singleplayer mode is good. Some levels are bothersome, but overall, it's fun. Good levels, nice guns, decent a.i. The movie's plot is told very well, from getting rid of Davidov to swimming through a sunken submarine to finish the baddies and save the world.
The multiplayer is great. It's not quite as option-packed as Perfect Dark, but it's good. My major complaint is the whole GOOD and EVIL thing. Each character is either GOOD or EVIL, and GOOD characters can't fight each other. It's annoying, but there are at least plenty of characters to choose from(and even more to unlock) that it hasn't bothered me more than a handful of times.
TWINE has some of my favorite multiplayer levels ever. A hedgemaze, two small bases connected by a skyrail(this level is done better than it's Nightfire counterpart), and one of the coolest, a blackbird jet and a cargo plane connected by a fueling line flying in the air. It's fun to go out on the wings and try not to get blown down by the wind, or to go on top of the cargo plane to snipe people off of the blackbird below.
The bots are generally pathetic, though. If you're accostumed to instinctively circle-strafing, the bots don't present much of a threat. I played an entire game without using weapons. I just got really close to the bot and circle-strafed while punching them, and they didn't even get a hit in.
But that's only like half of the bots. The other half are okay.
I was also upset to find that there's no way to setup the controller so that you can use the up and down c-buttons to look like in Goldeneye. Instead, they are for jump and for crouch. No way to move jump and crouch to up and down d-pad. I need my freelook more than I need jump and crouch in multiplayer. O well.
Overall, this game is actually really fun, but the few flaws really stand out and keep it from being classic.
Cool Multiplayer

Awesome multiplayer. This one and Perfect Dark stand in a league of their own in multiplayer, for the simple reason that you can add bots to the multiplayer levels. This feature is awesome, it enhances the game, and makes it more challenging, and fun. Great levels too. Recommended. 5 stars. Perfect Dark is great too. And unless you can get a great deal, I'd go for XBOX and Halo, which leaves this game in the dust. However, for the time, this game was excellent, however not as good as Goldeneye for the time, it was not a bad follow up. Get it if you're looking for some classic Bond shoot em up action, and if you're looking to have a good time with some friends! Great game.
