Been playing James Bond again.

I'd been playing two James Bond games for the Gamecube recently.
I'd forgotten how awesome it was to hear the James Bond theme play in a video game, really makes you feel like Bond.

Hmm for Gamecube, would that be Nightfire and Everything or nothing? Just a guess..

 

[Masque]

Yeah both of those.
Nightfire was fun even though usually I don't play first person shooters.

Ah yes, the game with the dreaded submarine stage!
I remember how thrilled I was when I finally beat it. Goodness me that is a hard part of the game!

Goldeneye is still imo the best bond game ever made.

Did you know that a brit is actually making a remake of it as we speak?
Goldeneye 25 single player and it is looking incredible! Apart from recreating the game in the much darker Goldeneye film set style, He also has a great composer on board, who has recreated the Eric Serra Goldeneye music style and it sounds fantastic!

Something to look forward to, you can find some preview videos of it on youtube as well.

I heard the latest Hitman games made you feel like Bond too.

I tried Hitman 2 for the ps2, interesting with stuff like disguises but I couldn't get past the first level.

Definitely~

Actually not just the last one. The exoticism and stealth game play are very reminiscent of James Bond. Not so many gunfights though, and the character is charming as a brick compared to Bond 😛

Only the fashion show mission in the 2016 game does 'cause you can wear a tux in a high society environment. The rest of the game is quintessential Hitman.

The old Hitman 2's nature is a bit unforgiving. Blood Money is easier to get into, or better yet the latest two games.


On the topic of Bond games, I'm disappointed that there's never been a single solid game since Goldeneye, and that one is over 20 years old now. I used to play Nightfire as a kid on PC. It worked for its time, but now it's awfully clunky.

Hitman 2 (2002) is my favourite game of the whole franchise. Its only defect is the removal of budget from game play (contrary to Hitman: Code 47 and Blood Money). I really liked the idea of being able to purchase equipment and upgrades with money I earned doing missions. Everything else is gold, though: awesome locations, better plot that in the first game and amazing stealth in open maps.

Come on, Bloodstone was awesome In my opinion, it makes you feel like Bond even more than Goldeneye (N64). And its story is better than any Bond film of the Daniel Craig era.

I'd like to see another game with an original story.

The novelty kinda wears off on repeated playthrough but I thoughtbthe idea of actually playing a level where you infiltrate a party in Nightfire was cool.
