[THX-007]

Been watching walkthroughs and the ski sequence in OHMSS is a little ridiculous. Bond fires a short burst of his machine gun and he takes down a helicopter.
For anyone interested here's the end of OHMSS and the beginning of Licence to Kill. I'm glad I didn't fork out $60 dollars for this game.

Oh and the music is bland. Would've been better if they just used the original movie scores.

Why on earth have we got a voice over from M saying, "Sometimes we're so focussed on our enemies, we forget to watch our friends." It makes no sense! At all.

[col_007]

those fuse box puzzle things are annoying me

[Rich Douglas]

Wow...bland..is a very kind way to describe the music for this game. Everything Ive heard is overly synthy and borderline offensive due to its lack of quality. A game like this needs a live orchestra, or at least better midi sequencing. That end sequence from the OHMSS section of the game is bloody awful.

What a missed opportunity all around....so very frustrating.

Not too mention, they skipped about 90% of Licence to Kill. Also, am I the only one who thinks Tracy looks more like Miley Cyrus than Diana Rigg?

[x007AceOfSpades]

Just finished Licence To Kill, Now on Die Another Day, then Moonraker. Afterwords full campaign game review.

[seawolfnyy]

I don't get it. With this Die Another Day, the only part of the movie it seems we get to play is the part of the film that is almost universally hated. No getting captured in North Korea, no chase in Cuba, no sword fight, just the crappy ice palace and the plane. Thanks Activision.

After watching some gameplay videos, this looks even worse than I could have imagined it to be.

[The Dove]

Oh dear!! I am NOT liking all these negative reviews of 007 Legends!! Perhaps I had better save my money and stick to "Bloodstone", "Quantum of Solace" and Goldeneye: Reloaded and wait til I can buy a cheap copy of "...Legends" for no more than $10 via amazon.com

Just started the OHMSS level. Got incredibly annoyed at the Ski Sequence. 1) Because it's so unbelievable, and 2) It took me a good half an hour to understand how to increase speed.

I'm having the same problem. So. how do you go faster?

LB on Xbox, R2 on PS3.

It's not a bad mission. It's pretty easy. took me 4 minutes.

[SkyfallCraig]

it's L2 on ps3. The game is quite good, it's a Bond transposition of Call of Duty.

[thasceles]

Thanks. Okay, so my next question - how do I escape the gas in Bolfeld's office?

[PeteNeon]

They do tell you how to accelerate at the start ?

Heh, this is a good observation. Personally, I wasn't at all surprised that they chose DAD and the particular sequence they did, because it's just such an obvious sequence to put in a VIDEO GAME. The same goes for how they chose Moonraker instead of Moore's other, better films. They're just more distinctive and they give the developers more room to play around with (which apparently they didn't do very well).

I do really like the car chase/battle between Bond and Zao. The best use of a 'gadgetmobile' in the entire series, even though it's also the craziest. Is that any use in the game?

[SkyfallCraig]

You have to shoot the glass with the map of the world. You have to shoot for a while, then it crashes

They do tell you how to accelerate at the start ?

yes

I know they do, so I don't know why it was hard to understand.

[thasceles]

I don't know why I missed it either. Oh well.

[PeteNeon]

This makes me laugh.

There better be an overarching story, it's madness how they can overhype it with a Q&A thing like that.

[Mr.Bond220]

multiplayer is the only good thing about this game

[SkyfallCraig]

I don't think so. It's a good game, not an excellent one, but it's good. The single player campaign is really short, I almost finished it in 2 days, but it's a classic Activision game, a COD game, with Bond. I didn't try the multiplayer, but if it is the COD one, it's a fantastic multiplayer

[x007AceOfSpades]

Well I'm currently stuck on Moonraker, then again it's 4:00 am. I will say that I like it. It's a good game, just not worth $60 price tag. $30-35 seems more right. It's incredibly short, especially the OHMSS mission.
It's a nice add to the Bond game collection. I shall finish Moonraker in the morning and post my full review (without multiplayer, that's later next week).

i agree! the IGN review was way too harsh and often unjustified as they weren't able to test all aspects of the game. I really wish people would do their own, proper research before ting all over a game/film they haven't tried for themselves, just because a major outlet like IGN have already done the same.

I preordered this title - i'm a fan of the games but i don't get to play them very often, and although i'm only halfway through the Goldfinger level i'm liking what i see so far. Shame that Daniel Craig hasn't provided the voice, but the sound-alike is very good and it's one of the best likenesses in a Bond game, perhaps even better than GE: Reloaded. Judi Dench as M and Rory Kinnear as Tanner do excellent jobs and all the other likenesses have been recreated brilliantly, just how fans will remember them (except for Blofeld who seems to be a mishmash of Pleasence and Savalas, but no big deal). The online multiplayer seems pretty much the same as GE Reloaded which is fair enough but the graphics are solid, and there are plenty of classic Bond moments for fans to enjoy - the COD comparisons are indeed inevitable but these are very unfair, so it would be better to let this game be judged on its own merits rather than as a carbon copy of COD with Bond thrown in for good measure.

[dlb007]

I also agree that the IGN review was a bit harsh. I've had zero issues with lag, both in single-player or multiplayer. While I'm not a big fan of first-person shooters, I will say that I've had a great time playing this. Bond has few speaking bits in the game, definitely not enough to even really realize Daniel Craig isn't doing the voice. As others have said, the impersonator does a fair job. My only complaint: the game is far too short. It is possible to finish the single-player portion in less than 5 hrs. For most, I'd recommend waiting until the price drops. If we're lucky (and I know we're not, hence no chance in hell of this happening) we'll get more DLC with opportunities to play missions from every Bond film. Hell, I'd be willing to pay $5-$10 per DLC for that.

[The Girl With The Golden Gun]

the Skyfall DLC will be launched after the film is released in the US on November 9th, so we've still a bit of a wait ahead of us.

OK i'm stuck - how do i crack the safe in Goldfinger's office?! i've got the PS3 version so i know about using L2 and R2 to change the active ring and using the L stick to rotate the selection but how do i actually crack the safe? Also - the smartphone takes forever to hack (each section takes 5 seconds, i've counted!), is it just a question of holding down square or should i be doing something else? THanks for your help!

[The Girl With The Golden Gun]

Never mind, done it now!! Not very good at these FPS but enjoy them anyway

[x007AceOfSpades]

I'm done with the game, the poison pod launching part in Moonraker, I've given up on it...

[Nicolas Suszczyk]

Anybody tell me about the death screen. Do we get the blood animation again?
