Definitely inspired by Timothy Dalton's Bond. ;)
I just watched a playthrough of the game and I believe your right. There are bosses that resemble Jaws and Oddjob.
I remember having it on my Spectrum 128 in 1990. It wasn't a bad conversion (I have that on my emulator also).
I don't think the game was ever intended to be developed as a Bond game as Domark held the Bond licence at that time (and presumably that prevented any arcade developers from producing an official Bond game).
Same thing had happened with Spy Hunter in 1983, another game influenced by Bond. Midway wanted to use the Bond theme. EON said no. They went with Henry Mancini's theme from Peter Gunn instead, which actually worked so much better.
Yep. Black Mask isn't a threat at all
No idea what happened. Left the pub when it closed and we must've carried on drinking when we got in. Anyway after a while I must've thought it was a good idea to play Assassin's Creed 4 (which I hadn't played before, it only arrived yesterday) and eventually I just fell asleep. Sadly I also managed to spill my beer all over the gamepad, breaking it.
Anyway after I'd woken up (well, I was rudely awakened), and I'd had a shower, I connected the pro controller, and there was Edward Kenway, who I'd left dangling off a tree branch for hours on end. Restarted the game later and I'd done quite well as it happens, managed to get through almost the entire tutorial.
It was fantastic! The gameplay is solid, It is challenging and almost left me angry in some levels. The graphic are stunning and is loaded with a bunch of different bosses. I wasn't disappointed. Though I'm only scratching the surface. I'm about 30% done with the game even though I beat the final boss already. I can't wait to try multiplayer with this.
It's nice to hear that the game lived up to your expectations, @Murdock. Hopefully Batman Arkham Origins lives up to mine when I get it.
Loved Edwards introduction to the whole Assassin/Templar conflict. Much more interesting than the whole "my family's dead, time for revenge!" plot that had become the norm since Ezio.
Anyway the opening was alright, set up the story very well. But it's when you get the ship and the world really opens up that it shines. There's so much to do and unlike AC 3, it's all very rewarding and it's all very fun. Plus it's all dynamic and gives you lots of freedom, there are tons of ways that things could pan out.
I robbed a plantation without anybody knowing I was there (could've just killed everyone), then I found a treasure map and went off to find the chest, along the way I plundered a few ships and killed a shark. Then my boat needed repairing so I stopped off at a fishing village where I took one of the assassin contracts.
This was the best experience I've had in the game so far. I had to kill two brothers (both Templars), who were in an outdoor tavern. Blended in and stabbed one of them, and went to shoot the other but I was surrounded by guards and he legged it. Threw a smoke bomb, went after him, but he made it onto his ship. He started sailing away, I could have gone to my boat to chase him, but I managed to jump off the pier onto the back of his ship without the crew realising. Then I climbed up into the rigging, undetected, and air assassinated him. Dived off the boat and swam back to the village to pick up my ship, then I moved on.
It was brilliant, and it was only a side mission. And I did all of that, and the stuff before, without a single loading screen. Fantastic stuff. This is living up to all of my expectations.
What I think makes Edward even better than Ezio though is he's much more relatable (to me, anyway). I could relate to Ezio when his family got murdered (my mum died when I was quite young) but he was a wealthy Italian nobleman before that and he was driven by revenge.
Edward is a normal bloke who has simple tastes (money, booze, women), so I found it easier to relate to him straight away. The reason he ended up as a pirate was because he wanted a better life (before that he was living in a shit house while working on a farm), I could relate to that. Also he's Welsh (Swansea to be exact, which is where I live), which is quite cool.
It's fantastic and so far there are only two flaws I can think of. 1) The hunting system. While crafting is a brilliant addition it's really been dumbed down since Assassin's Creed 3. You can't track animals by following clues, you can't use bait or snares. Instead it's more along the lines of Red Dead Redemption: you go to an area where animals spawn and wander about a bit until one pops up (although I think there were snares in Red Dead, can't really remember). Disappointing.
2) The main story missions. The story is interesting enough and it's carried by a great lead character but the missions are a bit dull, especially compared to the open world stuff. The main assassination missions are good though (although I've only played the first one).
Oh, and not really a flaw, but as Edward's a pirate, now would've been a perfect time to bring back the hook blade from Revelations.
I can understand the criticisms, but I enjoy for what it is.
Downloaded this earlier this afternoon. Why did I not do this a long time ago? It's a bloody wonderful game. May just be the best Tomb Raider game I've played. And a bargain for a tenner. Could so easily have been released as a full price game. Completed the first couple of levels. I'll crack on with it later tonight.

Daniel Craig did too apparently. They're both wimps :P
You know what? Maybe they're just in touch with their emotional side? ;)
Doom 2 because it's fun
Grand Theft Auto vice city stories fugitive style (get four cops after you and then you keep running till caught or killed)
And before I went to bed Quantum Of Solace for the ps2 I loved it.
