I had more fun looking at the box...
User Rating: 4.7 | 007 Racing PS
007 Racing took the best part of any 007 game, the driving levels, and molded an entire game around you being James Bond, but only in the driver's seat (apart from a surprisingly creative, though terribly executed, scene in which you remote control a BMW 745 through a security camera). Any James Bond game you can think of has some incredible driving scenes, be it the Aston Martin Vanquish on ice in Nightfire, the Vanquish on the streets shattering shop windows in Agent Under fire, the 745 chase in the PlayStation smash Tomorrow Never Dies, or even the great chases in Everything or Nothing and From Russia with Love. At the time, however, most of these games hadn't even been written (Agent Under Fire and Nightfire's scripts were done a long time before the PS2 was even debuted), and so an attempt was made to create a game, and a story, around these driving levels. What you get instead is a terribly scripted, abohrably difficult, and totally mediocre experience which even offers you the chance to challenge your friends in split-screen battles that challenge you in terms of, rather than driving skill, your ability to not give up or throw the controller out of a window. A terrible game, even for hardcore 007 fans, that you can buy to keep packaged to stare at the cover art; but, as a game, it serves simply as a way to fill one of the fifteen slots of your PS1 memory card. Avoid.
