The level design is quite nice and it is fun playing through the levels sure the voice acting is down right grating but the music is good gadgets make a welcome return over all it's not bad
I still wish the cool cover system from Quantum and Bloodstone returned in the later 2 games that was my 1 issue
If anything, I thought it was cool.
Was it...satisfying?
I can appreciate how the game is trying to make you really get inside the head of Bruce outside of the suit, but the Rocksteady games are more up to my speed. The best Batman simulators that ever will be.
@MajorDSmythe My appreciation for 007 Legends has grown a lot over time. As @ClarkDevlin noted, it's better than Goldeneye: Reloaded, and in my opinion, it's better than all of the PS1 Bond games. I enjoyed playing through the storylines of some classic Bond adventures. The assault on Piz Gloria is my favorite part of the game, and is one of the best sequences in any Bond game. The LTK levels were quite good as well, and there are other good parts too. At its worst moments, the game is an average COD style FPS, but at its best, it's downright Bond.
No.
It's an excrescence of hell. What the bloody f*** were the smoking when creating that.
I agree about TLD over LTK, @Murdock. It'd be cool to see a mission made out of the Afghanistan sequence where Bond battles his way to the plane and tries to take off, then faces Necros.
I just can't really stomach these first person games. It really puts me off of every game I see with it as a POV. I just don't see the appeal unless the developer is really trying to make you feel immersed in the world they've created, and the only people I know who even begin to do that well are the Battlefield/Battlefront team.
I feel so much more engaged when I can actually see the character I'm playing, and the controls are less sloppy and clunky for it. I'll take a Blood Stone over a GE: Reloaded or QoS any day.
Blood Stone was a diamond among thorns when it came to Activision. They just cropped every title and pasted it over COD mechanics which puts me off very quickly. The thing is, I have my very personal doubts that Eurocom actually worked on either the original GE update or Legends itself. Judging by the first trailer of GoldenEye that debuted six years ago, it had an entire different gameplay, different set of characters, different layouts and most importantly a different HUD. It felt like an original game, only for Activision to set their foot upon the ground and insist to make them look like a cheap COD:MW knockoff. And look what that led them to.
Still, I prefer 007 Legends over Reloaded any day due to its Classic Bond feeling as well as the gadgets, which if you ask me were pretty much useless but still... Some people might disagree with me on this but I actually think Timothy Watson did a good job in characterizing Bond's voice by throwing in a mixture of Craig and a distinguished mature and posh man into it. What I didn't like was how they tied the stories together, and how Skyfall was merely a promotion but not an actual level with real purpose. Who was Patrice shooting at, anyway? That was, at least, made clear in the film, but not in the game. Alas, you'd think by trying not to spoil the movie they would have brought in the hard drive to the matter and changed the Skyfall story's fate, but they just didn't.
Used to play AVTAK, TLD, LTK, TSWLM and LALD on the old Spectrum 48k. I have the official spectrum emulator from i-tunes but as far as I know you can't buy the Bond games for it.

I've never seen the MI6 editors rant in the way that they did in the above article. Pretty funny and entertaining.
