Our favourite spy has'nt exactly had the best of games , with the exception of GE (1997) , Nightfire and EoN. Make a list of the all Bond games you have played and what you hate about them . Even the good ones had something we hated.

    I hate how I once seen a clip from EoN on tv promoting the game where Diavolo said its Everything Or nothing Bond to Bond from a helicopter but then it wasnt in the game,

    With the exception of a few (mainly Goldeneye, nightfire, Everything or Nothing and to an extent Tomorrow Never Dies) they have mostly been quick cash in's with little effort put into them.

    I only ever played the old Atari game. I was never interested in them. They all seem to lack soul.

    007 Racing's unexistent PC version. I really loved that game, and the computer version which was planned, didn't really exist.

    007 Racing, Rogue Agent and 007 Legends were all parts of the Bond games that I hated.
  • Music is mostly crap in thesegames... Sometimes they meanwell and attempt an orchestral soundtrack but it always come off sounding cheep. Come on videogame makers, put some real production value behind your products.

    Goldeneye , Tomorrow Never Dies , and Everything or Nothing had great soundtracks (In my opinion), but as far as the others go I see your point. Especially with goldeneye reloaded and 007 legends.
  • I hate that 007 Legends was a bad Call of Duty clone with a modern version of the Bond classics. I did not want to use a smart phone as I stormed Fort Knox fighting a giant laser. If only the game put time into developing the classic characters representing the films in their respective decades, maybe it would have been a classic.

    Don't forget the voices and the techy stuff in the past and maybe it would be helpful if they had them in order and none of them were their best films and none of them looked like them.

    Bond games are always going to be rubbish because their quick cash grabs, so why put in the effort to make a truly great Bond game? It's a sad way of thinking but that's just how it is. Until real effort goes into a Bond game, I'm simply not interested. I'll stick to my GTAs and Unchartered games.

    The fact that most of the film adaptions butchered the movie they were based on. The fact that all the recent one's have been cheap cash ins. The fact that they remade Goldeneye and released it twice. The fact that they replaced every Bond actor with Daniel Craig.

    But what I really hate is the fact that every Bond game bar one has been a shooter when there's so much more potential.

    There's so much more to Bond than gunfights and the odd car chase, and it's a shame that none of the game makers seem to realise that.

    Even tho they're actually cool (Except for GE2010), There's no Bond feeling in those games like it had back in EoN, in 2004.

    Too much focus on action and killing. Bond games need some more investigation, gambling, stealth and espionage.

    The AI makes it too difficult to stay hidden long resulting in a yawn educing gun fight.

    That, of current times, they SUCK.

    Need I go on?

    I actually think the best DC Bond game has been Quantum of Solace. To me, it had more replay value than any of the efforts that came after it. The new GoldenEye was good for a little bit, but it got stale to me pretty quickly.

    This. I think GE 007 (N64) is one of the greatest games ever made but Bond is not a man who kills hundreds of people before breakfast. I'd love to see a Bond game which gives you the Full Bond Experience, more like an RPG than a shooter (and a little more polished than the Game Boy version!)

    I wouldn't say I 'hated', but was more so annoyed that I couldn't get to the other side of the dam in GE64.

    Beware, watching the following video will ruin the mystery of it...
