To summarize, so you don't have to read the whole review:
It was entertaining, but not. I'd give it a meh, and would say it's worth it only if you're a huge Bond fan and getting it cheap (I got it for free...).
The story mixes elements of both the Daniel Craig Bond movies, but not all of either. In fact, and this is a spoiler, I would argue that this game has no ending. If you search online, you'll find I'm not alone in that view.
The game play is ok. It's essentially a shooter in the top down perspective. They try to make every task linked to the touch screen.
The inventory system is stupid. Limited slots are fine, but don't then overload me with millions of items. That sort of shit doesn't make your game deep or replayable. It makes it frustrating.
Even with the limited inventory slots, you'll have enough room to carry around whatever you need. There are only 5 guns in the game using two different types of ammo. (There IS another gun that I saw, but you'd only use it while playing through again. Thus, only sadists would use it.)
A rarely found bullet proof vest is attainable, but only lasts for 4 or so shots, and considering your enemies are deadly accurate, you'll have it for about two encounters.
The only inventory filler are playing cards. Quite the tease as they make you think maybe you'll play. There's even a level in a casino! But no...combining them into poker hands gives you power boosts...just like in real life.
You also get style points for completing missions which can be used to boost your abilities.
The game took me about a week of restroom breaks or downtime from the PC to get through, so a couple of hours at best.
Eh, the more I think about this game, the more I realize it was shit. Although, it did a good enough job of disguising that fact, while I was playing, so that's good, right?
Not sure I can recommend this unless you own the entire Bond franchise on DVD.
3 out of 10.
