REVIEW: From Russia With Love PS2

Being a big Bond fan, and From Russia With Love being my favourite Bond movie, I just had to buy this game when I saw it.
Must confess that I didn't know much about it. Was it good? Was it just awful? I had no idea. I just wanted this game in my collection.

The game opens up with a nice Bond intro in the same style as the movies and looks very good, showing of some of the original cast and some new cast for this game including Natasha Beddingfield.
Bond himself is voiced by Mr Bond himself, Sean Connery. The other cast from the movie has just the likeness of the old actors but are voiced by other talent.

You can both play single player and multi player, I only played the single player campaign.
There are 14 missions in single player and every time you start a new mission you can change difficult settings. There is 3 different difficulties, Operative, Agent and 00 Agent. I choose the default Agent setting throughout my play through.

The game is played in 3rd person view and also have have a couple of driving segments.


The graphics are very good for a PS2 game, in my opinion. I think it looks very good in fact. The likeness of the actors is very good.

So is it any good?
Yes. It was maybe a little too easy on the Agent difficulty and wasn't that long but still I enjoyed playing this. They taken elements from the movie and also added new stuff.
The only problem I have with this game is the driving segments. It really isn't that good. It's very easy to loose control of the car. It's like they tried to do what GTA does, but is far from as good driving control as that game.
But in all a good and very enjoyable game.
