From Russia With Love Screenshots from EA's Official FRWL Site.

[The_Mole]

Is it me or does EA's Connery look a bit... bored? Check the first screenshot and you'll know what I mean.

Worth a rental. Nothing more. It's EA.

[007_Stef]

i agree The_Mole....
he doesnt seem to actually look alot like Connery...which dissapoints me...

[Cabainus]

Well I think its fair to say judging by those pictures, that the game will very loosely be based on the film.
None of them are instantly recognisable.

Its a shame, but the lure of many peoples favourite Bond film, along with the 'definitive' Bond actor in Connery, will still ensure it sells countless copies regardless

[Prav_007]

Yeah Connery does look a little stiff and you know looks a little....dead? I certainly want to see some movie clips of the game before I fully establish my judgement.

[THORP_APPS]

Whadda ya talkin bout Prav?? He looks great! !

[Aussie21]

As others have said, Connery does look a bit off. I think it's his eyes. His face looks pretty much like Connery, but his eyes look glazed over. Almost as if he's had a lobotomy or something. Hah. Strange.

If you visit the Official From Russia With Love site you can view the concept art which showed up on April 27th, the day the site was fully launched. There's other cool pics there as well. http://www.eagames.c.....D=Concept Art

Also: I think one of my fave screenshots from the new game was uploaded to the Official Site yesterday. This One: http://www.eagames.c...rst_set&imgID=2

[The Silver Beast]

Very nice shots. I think this London level will start this game off with a...bang.

[Qwerty]

NICE!

[tdalton]

What exactly does that level have to do with the movie? Wait, I know, absolutely nothing.

If EA wanted to make an original game with Sean Connery as Bond, then they could have done that rather than tarnish the legacy of a great movie like From Russia With Love.

Why is it bad to add in a few things? Could the movie From Russia With Love be turned into a game with # of levels and not changed one little bit here and there?

To think I remember back when we (the people who were born, natch) all got excited about Pac Man.....

'From Russia With Love' Level 2 Screenshots Three CBn-exclusive Hedgemaze Screenshots

[mra]OCTOPUS, eh?

Sad, but still happy they didn

[Qwerty]

Pretty cool screenshots!

Octopus isn't all that bad, SPECTRE is better IMO, but at least it drops the legal ramblings.

[00-FAN008]

Read about the "Hedgemaze".

This game looks promising. And it's cool with me that they changed SPECTRE to OCTOPUS. I guess with the legal issues and such, they really don't have a choice. But hey, SPECTRE. OCTOPUS. Tomaeto tomahto.

[K1Bond007]

Seems kind of silly that they just didn't rip out everything involving S.P.E.C.T.R.E. and put back SMERSH from the original novel. Seems more logical than creating a whole new organization because of the legal issues surrounding Thunderball.

Considering it's a game I don't care though. Seems good to me.

Perhaps General Gogol had a white cat.

Yeah, good point K1Bond. Why not just use SMERSH?

[bryonalston]

I think that they used OCTOPUS just as a slap in the face to Kevin McClory, just like what they did when they killed Blofeld off in FYEO. Does anyone know how similar OCTOPUS is to S.P.E.C.T.R.E.? Is there a site that will tell you the backstory to the organization?

[marktmurphy]

Interesting level. Are we playing Bond here or the guy in the Bond mask? Will be fun to find out.

It would be quite good if it was the guy in the mask. A level where you have to die at the end would be quite a nice shock.
