After watching a video preview of the first level, I am convinced that this will be the greatest James Bond game ever made by a longshot. What I like to see is that Russia has a little bit of a modern touch while still retaining it's 60's shape. It's new features are also stunning; the complete customization of 007, and especially the new combat moves that Sean Connery's Bond can pull off for bonus points. If anything worries me the least bit about this game, it would have to be Bruce Feirstein's writing. I know I haven't had a very good taste of the man's work for this video game so far, but from what I have seen, I sense a lack of effort in his writing; especially where the sequences have very good potential for wit. In the first level of the game, all I heard Bond say was "Vodka Martini. Shaken, not stirred.", "How do I get to the roof?", and "The name's Bond. James Bond." I'm pretty sure they spliced the trailer, but I still felt there could have been more dialogue in the sequence.
Though unfortunate from my point of view, a little bit of lacking dialogue has never hurt a video game very much. Look at GoldenEye 64; it didn't have bad dialogue, but you still didn't hear it!
Anyways, I think this game will be spectacular. The most anticipated feature for me would have to be the split-screen multiplayer, where, FINALLY, EA Games has included the option to take control of vehicles! I can imagine having a blast with multiplayer. Hopefully, in the near future, EA will make another James Bond video game adaptation of an old film.
