This great game is much better than its preceder, Goldeney.There are many levels ranging from the heart of London to the Middle East.each level is richly detailed and immerses you in a 3D arena.The game is based on the recent movie: The World is not enough 007.There are more than 400 recorded text lines.Of course,James Bond will be using some cool gadgets, starting with his modified BMW Z8 car, his key copier and the sleek Q boat.

This is a great game based on the movie. It is hard to give a summary about a game. First of all it is a great game with over ten levels. It is even better than GoldenEye 007. It does not have as many extra options as Pefect Dark. If you don't know yet this is a 3-D FPS (First Person Shooter) game. It has a great multiplayer mode. The characters you ca choose from are: James Bond, M, Q, MoneyPenny, Elektra, Christmas, and Renard. All characters from the hit Bond movie. The regular game has levels like, Submarine, Skiing, and Streets. You can do many things in the game like: Jumping, walking, swimming, running. It is agreat game and I like it.

This is one of the most anticipated games of the year.But is it as good as we want it to be and is it worth buying?The following info should help you to decide.

In this game you are James Bond who must go through these levels with stealth and caution.The enemies start in different locations each time you play the game so don't try memorizing their locations.You will be using pistols most of the time but there are still forty other weapons and gadgets you can use.Like in Perfect Dark(PD) the weapons all have second functions.Pretty much all characters in single-player are available in multi-player however you must earn them like in GoldenEye(GE) and PD.The graphics are incredible with the use of the expansion pak and the levels are great!You must save your progress with a memory pak which can be a pain sometimes but hey,that doesn't effect the gameplay at all.By the way,there are hardly any slow downs in the game like there is in GE and PD which is a big plus. There are 14 levels and just as many,if not more,multi levels. There are many options in multi including the option to put in simulants.Hope that helped.

the action pact but hasen't changed much

While this game hasn't been released yet, so no one out there can really review it yet, as an employee of EA (but not on any of the Bond teams), I would like to give my thoughts and opinions on how this game has turned out.

First, this game is truely amazing. Being a big fan of Rare's Goldeney and Perfect Dark, I was wondering if it would be possible to top those gaming experiences. In the end, I would say yes. To me, The Worlds Not Enough is the first Bond not made by Rare to top Goldeneye and Perfect Dark on all levels. The graphics are incredibly detailed, smooth, and for the most part run at an incredibly smooth frame rate. Even in levels with filled with city detail, cars, people, explosions, etc., the game maintains a very good frame rate. The character animations and models are also a big step over what was seen in Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. In graphics, The Worlds Not Enough truely shows what the Nintendo 64 is capable of. When using the expansion pack, which I recommend, the graphics are even more amazing. While many games that employee the use of the expansion pack, most of the time its only for high-res graphics, usually resulting in frame rate problems. This is not the case for The Worlds Not Enough. While yes the expansion pack is used for optional high-res graphics, it is also used to improve the visual effects in the game. Best of all, unlike a lot of games that use it, it doesn't become a trade off....better graphics, not so great frame rate. Even with the use of the pack, the frame rate remains pretty constant.

Sound is another high point for the game. Of course it tops Goldeneye since that game was released by in 1997, but it also tops the sound found in Perfect Dark. The games' score is strong, very bond-ish, and helps to really draw you into the game. Same thing goes for the sound effects. Voice audio is also a huge plus. The game features a large amount of voice acting that sounds like its straight out of the movie. While yes Perfect Dark featured a great deal of voice recordings, the audio quality of the voice recordings in The Worlds Not Enough is of a higher quality, resulting in clearer/stonger audio.

The gameplay is also top notch. If you have played Goldeneye or Perfect Dark, then you will have no probably picking up that controller and getting right into the game. Eurocom, the developer for the N64 version, has done an terrific job capturing the feel and enjoyment found in the two Rare titles.

Overall, this is truely an amazing and very enjoyable game. I highly recommend the purchase of this game by anyone who is a Bond fan, a first person shooter fan, or just a fan of great games. While some may believe I am only saying this because I am employeed by EA, that's not it at all. Like many Nintendo fans, I only except the highest quality games, and will only recommend a game if it meets my expectations. This game not only met all of my expectations, but surpased them and makes me excited for the next Bond game. I highly recommend the purchase.

great game

this game is cool and fun but it only has ten stages there should be more and extra stuff like on goldeneye the moonraker temple. This was a really cool game i like it better than perfect dark because it's bond.

I just purchased twine last night, and am now in the fourth stage of the game. There are three things that hit you right away. 1-you need a control pack to save 2-the c-up button now makes bond jump instead of look up (bummer) 3-this game has short load times. The gameplay is not like goldeneye or perfect dark. The only thing i can compare it to is a first-person syphon filter. This game is fun, but only if you compare it to itself. This game is not a goldenye or perfect dark sequel, and if that's what you think your buying you will be disapointed. The game follows the auctual movie better than goldeneye did, which makes the game more enjoyable. The real-time annimation that tells the story has excellent voices, but the visual detail is very disapointing. So in conlusion..this game deserves a soild 8 out of 10, but if your looking for a pure shooter, stick with goldeneye and perfect dark. ~oocaveman

Pretty Lousy Game

I bought this game today and returned it within 2 hours of the initial purchase time. First of all, this game is so much worse than goldeneye, in almost every way. I have the expansion pack and that didn't even help. The graphics are not sharp by any means and you will have a headache within 5 minutes of your first mission. It is also hard to tell who is good and who is bad, especially when there are men dressed in civilian clothing that pull a gat on you. It is also hard to know where shots are coming from. All of a sudden, you are getting ripped apart by shots and you can turn in all directions and see nothing that even resembles an enemy. The graphics are overdone to the point where you cannot distinguish an enemy from a wall. It is horrendous. The guns also take up half of the screen. They seem to be the focal point of the screen which is horrifying to me. I am a huge fan of goldeneye and that made this all the more disappointing. If you want a first person shooter far superior to "The World is Not Enough," I highly recommend you purchase an "oldie" but evidently a "goodie" and go buy wolfenstein 3d. And yes, it was made in the 80s but it is a hell of a lot better than this game. One more thing: Goldeneye has a sense of reality to it, yet this games is more like Turok. It is extremely fake. The guns are stupid looking and they do not shoot well (probably because it is impossible to aim). Do not buy this game. We need to show EA that they have screwed up this time (although their sports games are great) so Rare will take over and produce yet another world class game for the systems.

Don't Buy Bond!

The World is not Enough is the most primative first-person shooter game since Wolfenstein. A total degradation from the level of Goldeneye, I was flabbergasted at the inadequacy of the graphics and gameplay of TWINE. Perhaps this is simply the rough draft, but I fear not. Use your money more wisely and buy either Goldeneye or Perfect Dark.

Well....let's just say I have had a great 6 hours today.

Today I have gotten "The World Is Not Enough' for 64. Maybe this game doesn't have as many levels as Perfect Dark or as many multi-player features,but I would have to say it is a lot better and has a lot bigger levels then Perfect Dark.

First off,let's start with single-player. It starts out great when you enter the Bilbao bank in Spain,you walk in and you walk in the room with the banker,here is where I knew the game was going to be good. The cut-scenes have such great voice acting and even though they aren't the same voices from the movie(except R's),they sound great!!The cut-scenes also look great in the fact that the character designs look very detailed.OK,sorry,I forgot to get back to the banker scene. Well...Even though it doesn't follw the movie exactly,they showed him getting executed from the cigar girl via sniper rifle. Well..I haven't beaten the game yet so I do not know that much more,I have only beaten the 5th level.Also,I have the strategy guide and it says that if I beat it on all the difficulty levels,I will get bonus levels featuring old foes such as Oddjob and Scaramanga

Next up,multi-player. I must have played this by myself and with my friend for 2 hours.The reason I like this better then Perfect Dark's multi-player is it does not take so long to set up a multi-player game,and that I am familiar with bond,and it isn't so futuristic.It also has 3 more arena's then Goldeneye(overall 14 arena's total). Their are 5 modes of gameplay including "last man standing","capture the flag",and all out brawl. You can play 2 on 2,3 on 1,and free for all.My favorite level is the labyrinth because it is a hedge maze and the items never show up in the same place,so you can't camp out where the ammunition will show up.And if you don't have any body around to play with,you can play with the computer simulants,it's not as challenging,but it still is fun.

Well...I haven't beaten the game yet,but so far it is my favorite game on the N64.With great variety and replay value in multi-player,and detailed story line that follows the movie accurately,great voice acting,and great graphics in single-player,TWINE could probably be the best shooter this year.

I am not saying that Perfect Dark is not a great game,which it is,I like TWINE better.So if you are in the store and see both of them,I highly reccomend TWINE better.
