Amazon.com Review

This James Bond adventure needs a bit more shaking and stirring before it can be a standout among the current breed of console shooters. It's not that The World Is Not Enough is an awful game--it just seems that the world's favorite superspy, despite his many gadgets and guns, just doesn't compete with recent offerings like Medal of Honor Underground.

007 isn't known largely for bursting into rooms with guns blazing, mowing down millions of baddies; so, many parts of TWINE require stealth and cunning, instead of an itchy trigger finger. Sadly, most enemies can't shoot straight, and, if you move quickly enough, they'll forget that they ever saw you trying to break into that high-security area.

TWINE features quite a few clips from the movie that keep the story moving along. However, the music features a repetitive, awful remix of the James Bond theme that quickly becomes grating. Fortunately, the highly detailed scenery breathes life into the locales that are featured in the 11 alarmingly short levels of the game.

However, what hurts this game most is its persistently generic gameplay. While the gadgets are cool, the level design is somewhat plain. Also, the enemies and other characters all display a rather bland, uninterested look. The multiplayer element that sold many a copy of Goldeneye 007 and The World Is Not Enough for the Nintendo 64 also is completely absent--a shame.

All in all, you could do a lot worse than help 007 save the world again; but, once you get past the name, music, good looks, and merely decent gameplay, you'll find that TWINE still doesn't offer enough to make it a standout in a crowded genre. --Mark Brooks

Pros:

• Lots of cool superspy gadgetry
• Nicely detailed scenery
• More stealth than gunplay

Cons:

• Bland level design
• Poorly rendered character graphics
• Repetitive music

This review is from: The World is Not Enough [T] (Video Game)

This game is excellent! Me being a big Bond fan immediately found this game attractive. It is a big improvment on the first PS Bond game (Tommorow Never Dies), changing from a 3rd person to a 1st person game. With tons of new Q gadgets this game is a action packed thrill ride. If your a Bond fan with a PS do yourself a fovour a get this game. Bond,James BOND

This review is from: The World is Not Enough [T] (Video Game)

"The World is not Enough" is a true James Bond game as it has high speed action all throughout as u follow the adventures of the world's top secret agent. The game follows the storyline of the movie and even has superb clips from the movie before and after each level of the game as an extra bonus.The graphics are also great for a ps-one game and it exceeds the expectations I had of it.The game offers over 20 high-teach, way cool gadgets from Q's lab. There is also an improved AI from the other James Bond games as characters have more realistic features which make them seem more human-like.This game is one of the best games on the ps-one console and as usual I hope - JAMES BOND WILL RETURN

This game is really fun. I really liked how it incorporated clips from the movie and how much it really follows the plot line of the movie also. Cool gadgets, not much thinking involved, though. It's a great game for someone who just wants to veg out and shoot people with a silenced walther ppk. Or if that's not your bag, then you could always try out one of the few different machine guns. I would have liked to see more guns.
