The latest Bond game from EA, Pheonix Rising, will apparently have a level based on a scene in James Bond 20. This news comes from the Nintendo Game Cube (NGC) magazine who reported that an early level of the game will be based on the scene in Bond 20 where Bond 20 Spoiler Warning (Highlight To Read) James Bond jumps from a SeaHawk helicopter onto a hovercraft.

Interestingly enough it has been reported that EA have obtained the license for the digital recreations of Bond 20 cast members including Halle Berry, Rosamund Pike and John Cleese.

If true it seems a strong possibility that Pheonix Rising could be EA's cover for a Bond 20 game. If so, it's exciting news.

No, it's at the start with the hovercraft chase. Bond has just been 'discovered'.

With that beaten up looking chopper in one of the very first pics we were shown, I didn't think that a SeaHawk would figure in the action.

Bond arrives on the scene in a SeaHawk. The nose of it can be seen in one of the photos. It's how he gets to Moon's base under the guise of Van Beere.

The "spoiler" must be referring to a scene towards the end of the movie?

Bond can't be doing that at the begining.

That kinda of sucks in a way. I would like to see a Bond game for the PC for those people how think console gaming is a waste of money(me). Every couple of years someone comes out with a new console and forgets and stops making games for there previous console.
