Everything or Nothing is notable for being the first big budget Bond game that actually tried to move the series out of the shadow of GoldenEye. Everything or Nothing actually makes you feel like a superspy with an arsenal of cool gadgets at your disposal.
Everything or Nothing would be a fantastic template to follow for any developer looking to resurrect the Bond franchise in video games. Talking to you, IO! Of course GoldenEye is still the best Bond game of all time. A half dozen developers have tried to outdo it over the last two decades and still GoldenEye reigns supreme. The funny thing is that nothing about GoldenEye should have worked.
Movie tie-ins released two years after a film has hit theaters are almost always shovelware. Plus, the legendary multiplayer mode was only added to the game just a few months before release. On paper, GoldenEye sounds like it should have been a massive disaster on par with E. And yet, the final product still stands out as one of the greatest first-person shooters of all time. The replay value, with tons of unlockables for completing missions quickly, still outshines many modern shooters.

There have been around 20 Bond games in total — a number we're going to halve for this round-up with a swift Judo chop to the neck. Goldfinger is the best James Bond text adventure. As far as we know it's also the only James Bond text adventure, and that's a blessing given how ludicrously-hard and true to the film it is. The only reason it made it into this list is that it's hard not to giggle at it, mainly because the game insists on repeatedly reminding you when the film's henchwoman-turned-heroine is present.
Pierce Brosnan's Bond returns for his third outing, although Brosnan still wouldn't voice the character. That was a wise choice, and this was the best-scoring Bond game of all time. The 14 missions are nicely varied and focus on the best moments from the movie, such as swimming through a sunken submarine or chasing Cigar Girl from the MI6 offices.
The first original story in a Bond game since the Agent Under Fire trilogy, this so-so third-person shooter was created by Bizarre Creations — the last game that venerable developer worked on before it shut.
The gameplay involves substantial close-combat elements, enabling players to build up shooting instakills from doing melee takedowns.
If QoS's single player is anything like Goldeneye's gameplay wise not controls then it should be good. Guerrilla Soldier 9 years ago 7.
Blood Stone was really fun but the story was meh. Very medicore James Bond adventure, I think. But it's a great third-person action game. Disclaimer: There's a good chance the above post could be sarcasm. Quantum of Solace was the better one, and I've played all of them. Bloodstone is rather dull, good for a rental. Reloaded feels uninspired. And the storyline just plain sucks, complete with unskippable cutscenes. Quantum of Solace had some interesting creative elements, and overall I enjoyed the game.
Most people will recommend Reloaded. Totally misguided. Hucast9 9 years ago 9. I think that Quantum of Solace is the best Bond game that i've ever played.
Allowing players to not only annoy their friends but players all around the world by playing as Oddjob. Developers Eurocom made the wise choice of not trying to fix what wasn't broken. Keeping the gameplay similar to Rare's iconic shooter. It took many steps back with incompetent AI that harmed the linear gameplay, with some AI blankly staring at players as they gun down enemies standing next to them.
With impressive graphics accompanying a star-studded cast of voice actors. Along with an excellent campaign is a cooperative mode that lets players take on a separate set of levels with a friend. The game holds itself back from GoldenEye's high standards though by having a multiplayer mode that disappointingly felt like an after-thought.
As the score suggests, GoldenEye is not only the best James Bond game but one of the greatest shooters ever. Although the game has an excellent main campaign that still has a thriving speed-running community to this day, it's the multiplayer mode that the game is known for. The split-screen multiplayer revolutionized gaming, which at the time was predominantly viewed as a hobby played in solitude. With IGN famously declaring it the N64's best multiplayer game ahead of Mario Kart 64 , it's no surprise that the original GoldenEye tops this list.
