Oh it was a Game before this addition coming out??? I didn't know that, so I haven't played it... I was referring to a couple I've played and the one my son likes "From Russia With Love"...
What console was it before back in the day???

Oh that explains it, I never hat Nintendo 64...
Doesn't look to bad though... I'm not a very big fan of First Person Shooters... I prefer the 3rd person point of view like in God Of War or Metal Gear...
Though I do like Call Of Duty as well...

To be honest my favourite Bond game was Everything Or Nothing. It starred Brosnan and Willem Dafoe along with Judi Dench and John Cleese in an original story. It wasn't just all action either, it really captured the spirit of the films really well where it included stealth, evidence gathering, driving around town etc...it's an underrated gem in the Bond gaming franchise.

I would have to agree, Joel. Everything or Nothing came out and had a cover system when it was still a new thing. Heck, there might have only been a couple other games that used it at the time.

Vracar, I think you're right there. The only game of that era I can think of with a cover system would probably be one of the titles in the Metal Gear Solid series and maybe Splinter Cell. Although, the latter is more stealth and doesn't really use cover for combat purposes but more for hiding. The more I think about Everything or Nothing the more I think of it as the best ever Bond game. It was such a brilliantly told story with outstanding characters. In fact, you could say it's the fifth Brosnan film that never was. It may as well be as the game is dialogue and cinematic rich.
To a certain extent, it's the 007 game that came closest to being an Adventure Game. Although there was a Bond game I think in the late eighties or early nineties which used the SCUMM engine but I recall reading that Bond worked for the CIA which really undermined it being anything official or even noteworthy of a proper Bond adventure.

I thought Everything or Nothing was a pretty good game. Definitely better than some other Bond installments. I have a feeling that Goldeneye will always be my favorite, however.

Although I still think Goldeneye was the best Bond game I do have to agree that Everything or Nothing was damn good and underrated.
Speaking of that cover system it had, I think the first game that did that a bit before that time was a n64 game called Winback. It didnt sell well at all but it was fun. The whole game was built around the need to use cover and then pick enemies off. Solid stuff!
