Thoroughly entertaining. The shooting and NPC behaviour have been downgraded from Goldeneye on N64 which is disappointing, but to compensate the game offers fun set-pieces and vehicular sections. While nothing to write home about, they add the much needed variety as the gunplay is rather passable. Stealth is fun, while also simple. Apparently there's a shadow system that makes you harder to spot as per game hints shown during loading - I haven't noticed that at all.
The levels are just like in GoldenEye - short burst. Each level has a few optional "Bond moves" - replacement for secondary objectives - usually requires you to disable a security system or destroy enemy vehicles before they drive/fly away. I'd prefer normal secondary objectives.
This is a good licensed game - it has the feel, the music, the celebrity likeness - it works because it's a license. Without the 007 name it wouldn't.
