What about LTK? It would be a cross between the standard 007 game and Rogue Agent kind of, with Bond having his license revoked and going out on his mission alone, all the while being hunted by MI6. The Wavekrest/Water Ski/Plane sequence would be great, so will the assassination attempt on Sanchez, and, of course, the tank chase. Q's gadgets should be cool to use as well.

I also wouldn't mind seeing a game where you can choose which of the Bond actors you want to become on certain missions, and each actor has certain skills as Bond. Sean Connery could be the Bond for hand-on-hand combat, but lacks in stuntwork. Lazenby could be the Bond for seduction and romance. Roger Moore could be the Bond for death-defying stunts, but lacks in recon skills. Dalton could be the one for spy and recon work, but lacks in romance and seduction skills, and Brosnan could have an equal balance of all of the other qualities, but doesn't particularly excel in any one of them. The game would be a good change of pace and would be very original.

Interesting idea, though I think that would be difficult to program.

The Bond movies I would like to see adapted into games are Thunderball and On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

I agree with Red Grant 15. However it may be possible with these next generation games. I would love to play as each of the 5 Bonds.

I would like to see The Living Daylights the film had a nice change of pace and perhaps they could bring that to the game. I also think You Only Live Twice would make a great game. A lot of the films have such great concepts.

I think Live and Let Die would make a good game, because there were a lot of good action sequences in that movie that I think would be cool to play.
And you could even have sheriff Pepper in it.

The Man With The Golden Gun has a wonderful gaming concept one that gamers could really grasp.

I'd also like to see A View to a Kill made into a game, just to get the chance to fight Christopher Walken on the golden gate bridge.

Really I think they should just adapt the Bond movies into games as opposed to comming up with plots that have no savre affair.

I know this is an unrelated topic, but I'm just going to get it out really quick, I think Raymond Benson should write the Bond movies and video games.

High Time To Kill would make a great Bond game after all climbing the side of a mountain for the benifit of your governments lack of imperial superiority sounds fun

LALD is tied with TB for my first choice to be adapted. I feel that they should strengthen the supernatural elements of the LALD game though, since it seems like it was far under-utilized in the movie. They should also update the movie to modern times, meaning that the clothes will look much more hip. Also, if LALD is updated, it would probably connect with the youth audiences, as well as urban players, more than most other game adaptations.

I have to disagree with you on expanding the supernatural aspects of the film, because that is the one thing I didn't like about it.Bond has no place facing the supernatural.He's 007 not VanHelsing.

I don't know if Thunderball will ever be made into a game, doesn't McClory own the rights to Thunderball? I believe that may have been why the jetpack is to be included in From Russia With Love, EA doesn't own the rights to make McClory's movie into a Bond game.

For a Bond movie I would love to see turned into a Bond game would definitely have to be On Her Majesty's Secret Service. The ski chases would make terrific levels but my hopeful part to play would be the raid on Piz Gloria. Oh, I can see it all now....

I think Kevin McClory still owns Thunderball I'm not sure but it would make a good game regardless.

That's a good idea, but I'm not sure if Dr. No and Diamonds are Forever would make good games though.

If they used elements from the books, they could be.

Yeah, but they are more likely to base them on the movies instead of the books, but you're right.
