I haven't played the game yet so I have a few questions for those of you that have started playing it already:

1. Does it start off with the gunbarrel sequence?

2. If so, does Sean Connery wear a hat?

3. Does Natasha Bedingfield sing the title song? If not, please don't tell me who sings it.

4. Is the title song the one from the film or is it new?

The exact same gunbarrel from the FRWL movie is used, so one and two are yes.

Miss Bedingfield, to the best of my knoweldge, does not sing the theme. An interview with one of the producers of the game mentioned that they had a male singer who isn't Matt Munro to do it.

And number 4 is also yes, if you mean the song from the credits sequence.

Thanks a lot! :) Does "The exact same gunbarrel from the FRWL movie is used..." mean it's a movie clip or a video game rendering of the gunbarrel a la Everything or Nothing?

The title song in the movie goes from an instrumental version of "From Russia With Love" into the James Bond Theme during the credits sequence. The FRWL game only plays the FRWL theme. You did call me on the Bob Simmons thing, however...shame on me, I guess.

Always happy to help, Righty. :) The gunbarrel is a direct pull from the movie, which is neat to watch although the film isn't in great shape and the 'blood flow' after Simmons fires his gun is very obviously CGI instead, at least during the credits sequence.

I think the gunbarrel music is extracts from the Bond theme that was used in AUF and Nightfire

Don't know if this is the right place to put this.

IN FRWL we see Red Grant smoking. Now how is it that they can get away with people smoking in Bond Video games, but not in the films.

No, I'm pretty certain it's a new arrangement (by Lennertz).
