Well...looks like when 'Quantum Of Solace's Sienna chase met 'Skyfall's Turkey chase!

Still...what did we expect? Glad to see Naomi Harris on board, and should be fun chasing Patrice in the bike sequence!



Just wondering, how this game will end? Will it end hoping that everyone playing will "continue" the mission by seeing the film? It's strange this obviously has no closure after battling Patrice, like the Skyfall lodge finale.

It's silly. The game ends in the middle of the movie.

They cannot - cannot - be serious. No Skyfall in 007 Legends' Skyfall? Quite possibly the best sequence in a Bond film that lends itself to a video game in recent memory - hell, watching it felt like I was watching someone play 007 Legends by times - and THEY'RE NOT EVEN GOING TO INCLUDE IT?

What should have been the coolest level, the awesomest multiplayer map ever - and it's not there?

I couldn't give a living [censored] about playing through some ham-fisted, terrible-engined motorcycle chase that will probably last 30 seconds. There was one sequence virtually every gamer will want included, and it's apparently not there. Activision's dropped some seriously heavy balls with this license, but this is the biggest - and worst - by far.

I'm done with you, Activision. Fail. Epic, epic fail. You won't get my money for the next one.

I love Bond. I honestly TRIED to love this game. But I can't. I loved Goldeneye Reloaded, so I don't understand how this is just so bad. GE Reloaded was a short game, but you can tell it was worked on. It wasn't bad. But Legends... just... no. Just no.

I believe it's up for both UK and Aus players now.

But honestly, it's not worth the wait at all. 3 very short, very uninteresting levels. The most exciting was probably the bike chase, but even that's a stretch.

Wait... someone explain me this.

They don't allow a Skyfall novelization to avoid spoilers, , but they reveal online the death of an important character (I wan't say who I'm talking about).

They delay Skyfall's release to avoid spoilers, but it ends at the middle of the movie, so it has NO SPOILERS in it!

Exactly what I was thinking Walecs, nothing importantly major is revealed during the DLC content, so why wait? I still can't beleive the lodge battle isn't in it and the whole game will end halfway through a mission.

When I see it on DLC for Xbox I'll get it, can't say I'm dying to have it now.

Completed the whole game lastnight, and think 'Moonraker' was obviously the first level they did, full of variational gameplay, good detail and glad to not have a boxing match with Drax, and even the Jaws one was like the films, a few whacks but that's all. Good fun.

Seems they started the game backwards with the levels paid least attention to get to the finale.

But the way it ends..sloppy indeed. Bond just passing out and no idea of how he got away from the space station? We just assume he got out nice and quick with Goodhead? I can see why 'Skyfall' has such sloppy narratives if they end a mission like that.

The Skyfall missions are not even "proper" DLC.

The content is already on the disc, the DLC is just an unlock key...

I agree that this should have been made available from the start, as it does not cover much storywise.

How rubbish!

I've not got it yet Nicolas, but from the mission trailer and what I expect, I reckon it's an elongated chase through Turkey for the pre-title sequence, taking up one mission and the second will be Shanghai. It's all about Patrice, and so I bet the final fist-fight battle will be Bond and Patrice on a very high ledge near a shattered window...wonder how that ends...?

I am 99% certain there will be none of the stuff you mentioned which would make it a solid story. It appears 007 Legends is just random pieces of the films cobbled together, marketed on the back of 'Skyfall' to sell copies, and even that isn't going to let you complete the full film, as say 'GoldenEye Reloaded' did. It will end 1/3rd into 'Skyfall' itself.

The most complete in-complete game yet. Disgusting.

They're doing it to encourage more people to go out and see the film after playing the DLC mission.

So really it's all just another big marketing push for 'Skyfall' and not just a decent game? For shaaaaame!

Same for me, right today I got payment's issues because a few months ago my father's credit card (which I used to pay my Gold membership) got stolen, we blocked it and cancelled the Gold membership, however Xbox Live renewed the payment anyway, so I basically can't play online nor talk to any friend.

I think this game is going to be a boxing day purchase for me when I can probably get it for around $20 with a couple trade ins. It's disappointing to hear so many negative things about it when I was hoping it'd be decent. Oh well, I'm sure I'll have some fun with the a play-through.

Such a pity they've used only the 25% of SKYFALL. There were a lot of scenes that would have rocked for a video game: Training, Silva's Island, Subway chase & enquiry shootout, Skyfall Lodge...

This is absolute rubbish. Skyfall would've made a great game on it's own. The fact that it only uses 1/3 of the film and that is the most boring 1/3 of it is just pathetic. I'll wait for the game to come from gamefly, play it through once and then never look at it again. This is just a slap in the face of Bond fans everywhere. Once again, %^& you activision over and over.

They're absolutely terrible.

I've been playing through CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS, and it was released two years before 007 LEGENDS. The graphics are lightyears ahead of what 007 LEGENDS serves up.

I hate nitpicking but a few things stood out playing this game that I thought were very sloppy glitches - first, during 'Moonraker', most of the time I looked at Holly in her spacesuit, her gun with coming out of her arm, not in her hand. Wouldn't notice otherwise but those things are awful.

And in 'Die Another Day', when Jinx leads you to Grave's office past all that non-existant security, when she walks up stairs, her feet walk through all the steps, like she's just walking on a conveyor belt and not actually going up. Again, may not tell if not looking but these little things add to the negative experience.

You didn't just disappoint fans here, Activision. You're burning the bridge. I hope hosts of producers are fired for this.
