Summary
For the first time ever in video games or anywhere else outside of Youtube, 007 Legends features an original, overarching storyline tying together six classic Bond movies in one go.
The game not only takes the player through previous Bond plots, it also concludes with this year’s 50th anniversary and 23rd instalment of the franchise: Skyfall.
As a first-person shooter the game offers fast action challenges but also manages to provide the player with many way of completing them. As with the James Bond of movie fame, the Bond from 007 Legends gets to play with state-of-the-art spy gadgets and a huge arsenal of weapons, including Bond’s signature Walther PPK.
There are also, as expected, loads of high powered and exciting vehicles including Aston Martins and Lotus cars to take Bond and the gamer playing him from one exotic location to the next in the intricate plot.
This sees James having to track down iconic characters including notorious villains such as Gold Finger, along with their terrifying henchmen. As ever, the gorgeous and feisty Bond women also makes their appearances.
In fact, 007: Legends actually gives the gamer the chance to play as a villain, enabling them to experience game missions from the perspective of world-dominating pure evil.
As well as single-player story mode there is also multiplayer that includes local four-player split-screen game modes and online competitive gameplay with new maps, weapons and characters derived from the Bond franchise.
Added to the main 007 Legends’ game is a series of single-player MI6 Ops Missions which were first seen in 2011’s GoldenEye 007: Reloaded game and on successful completion will see the gamer’s score on the online leader board.
