This game is fairly fun to play while it lasts, but that ain't long. I spent between two to three hours playing the game and then it was over. Certainly not worth $30.00. I bought the game today and am trading it in tomorrow.

What a strange game...

NOt what I really had in mind. I am on probation from games at the moment, but not games for GBA. My dad and I are avid Bond fans (Sean!!!) so we bought Everything or Nothing for both Game Cube and GBA. After watching my dad play EON for GCN I thought it looked pretty cool, so I went of to play EON for GBA. At first glance, I thought the game was horrible, mostly because of the graphics and slow play conrtol. But the thing that bugged me the most was gun movement and firing. What a crappy way to do shooting. The targeting sysetem helps just a tad, but once you get it working, you are dead. Another thing was, I had no idea I was shooting! Until I realized that the little red line coming out of my gun was supposed to indicate that. Over all it is just apretty bad game. You can't see your enimies until they have spotted you, which I found annoying. And Judi Dentch looks like some creepy evil phycho lady from hell. Whoever did character similarities should be drug out into the street and shot. It looks like her, but in that strange deformed clone kind of way. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because it's a Bond game, and the music was well done. Not worth the money though. If you really really want to try it, rent it, or steal it from one of your friends unfortunate enough to have bought it.

Far better than Nightfire, but still rift with problems.

Considering how awful 007: Nightfire was, it doesn't take much for 007: Everything or Nothing to surpass our expectations. That still doesn't mean it's a great game, but at least it's pretty playable and would not cause you to sell the game at a junk yard after a day of playing.

Electronic Arts wisely chose a 3rd-person view this time. Game Boy Advance is simply not powerful enough a system to handle the intricate aiming of real-time first-person shooters, and the reconception of this game as a stealth/strategy/action game suits the 007 franchise well. However, the stealth element is very hard to execute, because your agent's visibility is about the equivalent of 20 feet, and where there is a radar, it has about the same range as your eyes! Inexcusable. You can use manual aim to look farther, but the move is so slow that I gave it up after a couple of tries. The weapons aiming system is poor, forcing you to run towards your enemy in order to auto-aim. Manual aiming, as mentioned, is very slow, so forget about using it practically. Worse still, stealth games like Metal Gear Solid and Syphon Filter expect you to need multiple replays to pass a mission, but 007: Everything or Nothing makes you have to wait through most of the "cut scenes" before your game can restart. This is very bad. After the eighth time I see a cut scene, what's the interest? EA made a gross error by not allowing you to quickly skip these portions, making replays excessively troublesome.

The graphics are only passable. You can see your agent relatively well, but enemies often blend into the background thanks to pixellated graphics and too much of an attempt to make everything look realistic. If they'd given up some shadowing and detailing, they could have improved visibility greatly.

There *is* more of a link to the Bond films this time. Pierce Brosnan looks like Pierce Brosnan, Judi Dench and John Cleese provide bits of voice work, and you do get modelled versions of cyber-Bond girls in supermodel Heidi Klum and singer Mya. But no Shannon Elizabeth -- boo!

Nagging problems with the stealth system and the slow cut scenes make this game far from perfect. It's an acceptably enjoyable espionage game as far as the genre goes, but EA has once again disappointed by producing a mechanically below-par game, for the company's standards.

A chance to be Bond again!

This game has an awesome premise and some great things going for it (Pierce Brosnan being Bond in a third-person shooter, Shannon Elizabeth as a Bond girl, etc). The game itself falls just a little short. Since Max Payne came out, we know that GBA games can indeed allow for long voiceovers beyond the "Good work, 007!" and "Get on with it, Bond"--especially since there are no cinematics in this game whatsoever. Oh, and even though Pierce signed into this game and his face is seen throughout, his voice is absent for the most part. And you have to spend your style points almost immediately on speed for Bond, as he starts off the game walking at about the pace of a 90 year old man! Another problem is the "stealth kills" the game wants you to make--but then you can't see the guards until they're almost on top of you! The graphics are reasonably nice though. All in all, this is a fun game for the most part. I'm just looking forward to seeing it on the PS2. Hopefully it will be greatly improved.

Incredibly fun,but Waaaaay too short.

This game is HORRIBLE. There's a little arrow that is supposed to tell you where to go. The arrow is so small you can barely see it!

Just Wait Until it comes out on Ps2

This game was a sorry disappointment for Game Boy Advanced. But yes, this sucker will be better once it comes out on Ps2 because the graphics will be better and gameplay easier. Just be patient, Bond fans!

very fun!! but.

this game gets 5stars because its interesting and better than nightfire which sucks (you cant aim,messed up graphics).the bad part of everything or nothing is that you only get three guns,theres only eight levels which are very easy(i beat it in three days)and there are gadgets you dont ever use.if you want an easy game thats cool and easy to control buy this one. p.s. if you get a certian amount of points you unlock a very fun blackjack minigame.

extra cool dudes!

This is the COOLEST! not only that, but realistic! in the Peruvian Jungle, you can hear the birds!

pros. lots of gadgets and weapons, realistic, 4-in-one, Black jack, etc.

cons.no Q-spider, or anything in the PS2 version, and you dont see through the eyes of Bond.

Strongly recommended!!!!

The Best james bond Yet!!!!!!!
