16, not bad. a bit less than GoldenEye's 18, especially since this game is based on 2 movies, but hey, if the missions are of a good length and they seem to be nice and varied, then I'm in.

I was talking with this about my friend, that GoldenEye 007 had 18+2 levels and a modern blockbuster video game, Halo 3, has 9. I blame graphics and voice acting.

In the article they mentioned something about a train level cut from CR. Anyone know what the scene was?

Think they mean a train scene cut from QOS that they still used in the game.

From one of the behind the scenes videos, it was the train scene from Casino Royale where Bond & Vesper have dinner. After dinner, Bond goes to get the poker game invite papers (or something like that) from Mr. Bliss & has to take care of some business.

16 levels is a decent number. I'm satisfied with that. If the levels have some meat and length to them, even better.

Not only a good length, but if it is savable through certain checkpoints. Then that would be a good excuse to take more time to complete it. :(

Not really a fair comparison though, is it? The time to complete a level is highly variable. In GoldenEye you can beat the runway level 20 seconds. In a modern game Dam, Facility and Runway would probably all be separate chapters of the same level.

Then again, it's quality not quantity. GoldenEye is not the longest game, but it is so darn fun you keep coming back to replay levels. Replayability is a feature I place far above length.

Exactly. Good points here.

Agreed. Bonus points if the replay value is in there too. As stated above, that's one of the infinite reasons GoldenEye works so damn well.
