There's nothing inherently wrong with this game, but it's quite dry and abstract.

For a game which isn't inherently broken, it's a pretty dry experience! the James Bond games seem to be stuck in the same lame-curse as the Star Trek games (with a few rare exceptions). Given that this game was not based on a movie, I was sure that it would be, at least, a fun and exciting title, but while it wasn't a bad game, it just felt like a generic shooter which didn't capitalize on it potential! The driving sequences were generic, the shooting was generic, the weapons were generic - everything was just predictable and (sorry)...generic. There was no real depth to the characters. In fact, there was no character development at all. Nothing to upgrade, nothing to purchase, the same 4 weapons were used, without any cool factor. I managed to scan secret weapons even though I already used that same weapon in prior "chapters" . I was hoping for some side challenges but there's none to be found. It's a shoot-and-run and even at that it's not as much fun as it could have been.
The enemies are dumb, wow, are they ever - such as, I do a melee take-down of one guy from behind a crate, and then I just stay there as the other guys walk up to me and allow me to take them down, one by one, in the exact same manner - even though they see me doing that to their comrades.
The graphics are decent - some things are really nice, but others are just ugly - the cut scenes are ugly! I mean, the ingame graphics are better than the cut scenes. The audio and voice acting are great - no complaints there at all. Well, the voice acting isn't always consistent in delivery, but it never gets bad, or even close to bad.
That's all. Thanks for reading, and enjoy the game if you plan to buying it and giving it a go. You may not regret it, but you will forget about it the instant you finish it.
