Editorial Review
Expectations ran high for this game, due to its exciting, eponymous movie and the exceptional Nintendo 64 James Bond game GoldenEye 007. And while this game presents the variety and intrigue one would expect from the beloved licensed-to-kill, martini-sippin' spy, it would have benefited from a bit more polishing. Don't expect this game to be on par with the games and movies that preceded it. In fact, if you're looking for a GoldenEye-like experience for the PlayStation, you'd be much better off with the WWII period piece, Medal of Honor.

Tomorrow Never Dies uses an auto target mode, but it's far too restrictive to be of use here, requiring players to stand still in order to keep the target locked. The game loyally follows the film, but when the action intensifies--such as a hot pursuit on skis, or flying a nuclear warhead-laden jet out of a hot zone--players are forced to either relinquish control entirely or have minimal input.

Gadgets from Bond's old pal Q are too sparsely used, and the absence of any multiplayer mode seals this game's fate as a small diversion rather than a stellar accomplishment. --Jeff Young

Pros:

• Excellent music
• Good use of real film clips to propel the story

Cons:

• Very poor control scheme and limited distance vision inhibit stealthy playing style
• Skiing and driving sequences feature outdated graphics and ambiguous controls
• Easy levels and no multiplayer mode give this game little, if any, replay value

5.0 out of 5 stars worth the wait, November 29, 1999

By A Customer

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

this game is as good it is hyped up to be. it captures the true feeling of the bond movies much better then Goldeneye. it is far more then a shooter, and is very unique with its drving/sking/recon/shooting/puzzle solving/actual footage from the movie. This game is great, and it makes the gamer feel like they are BOND.

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

Dispite what the editorial review says there is no 2 player option. And thats a real shame because that would be the main reason why i would buy a game like this. Go to the manufacturer sight and see for yourself. Its a fun game for 1 person but dont buy it thinking that it has multiplayer casue it dosnt

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Compare it to Goldeneye, November 25, 1999

By A Customer

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

I have played the original Goldeneye many times, and I love it, and then I played the new Tomorrow Never Dies on playstation. The main thing that I kept in mind going into testing out the game was to not compare the original Goldeneye to the new game. This is because the first game was a masterpiece (i.e multi-player) and the second game is great, but on a different level. If you compare the two games, you probably will not like the new game. BUT, if you have an open mind, you will love this new installment. I HIGHLY recommend it to any one willing to try it!
