User Rating: 9.5 | From Russia With Love PS2
"From Russia with Love" is one of the greatest games I have ever played, no exaggeration. When I first caught hold of the information that a classic James Bond film was going to be adapted into a game, I was slightly wary. The Sean Connery films are classics and are considered as the best Bond films, so taking on such a challenge, must have been worrying for EA Games. But despite being such a big challenge, EA Games pulled it off. The first time I turned on the game I noticed, Sean Connery's likeness. So, as you might imagine, this is due to the excellent graphics. Each character in the game has it's own likeness (unlike the "Grand Theft Auto" series). The voiceovers are done to perfection, with the voice of Bond provided by the big man himself, Sir Sean Connery. There are also a few extra delights, such as the fact that you get to drive the beautiful Aston Martin DB5. Also, when you play the game, the stroyline is changed slightly just to make the game more exciting. The changed story does make the game more exciting but it wouldn't work for the film. The film, for instance does not have the Aston Martin DB5 with all of it's gadgetory and the villain, Red Grant, does not return after Bond kills him on the train. So, in conclusion, if you want an action packed, adventurous and exciting game, go out and buy "From Russia with Love". It will leave you shaken and stirred!
