Men in Black: Alien Crisis is the worst game I have ever played. The game has dated graphics, the story ****, the game is riddled with bugs and worst of all the game restricts your movement. You can only move side to side but not forward or backward which is simply inexcusable. This game really doesn't have much going for it even if you are a fan of the men in black movies, you will definitely find this game to be unenjoyable. I usually give games the benefit of the doubt too but this one I can't defend. In actuality I am probably being kind in giving this game a 3.

While Agent Under Fire was hurt by its relatively short length, it still was a great game even though the game's controls don't hold up very well today. Agent Under Fire has twelve missions including first person, driving and on-rail missions. While there weren't many driving levels, they were one of the games bright spots for sure! Come to think of it, I think Agent Under Fire has the best driving levels of any James Bond game. You get a lot of freedom with those levels and the cars handle very well. The on-rail segments were also very good and were actually better than the on-rail segments from Nightfire. The first person missions however could have been a little better. The AI wasn't very smart. They just charge you which is a bit annoying. A bright spot though is that there are many different ways to approach these levels. You can go in gun blazing or you can use a stealthier approach. Your gadgets come in handy and also offer an additional route to take. Between that and Malprave's plan to clone eight world leaders and you have got everything you expect from a bond game. But let's not forget about the multiplayer. The multiplayer offered many different maps and a few different game modes including combat training, golden gun and top agent to name a few. The game also offered several different options such as zero gravity, jet packs, q-claws and several other boosts that you get from achieving high scores in the single player missions. In short the game had a good amount of replay value. If you like high octane action than this might be a game for you. If you prefer spy based games, you might want to give Nightfire a look as well.

Much like GoldenEye Reloaded, the Wii version is a game that you will either really enjoy or hate. To be honest GoldenEye 007 Wii is less of a James Bond game and more of a solid first person shooter which is rare among Wii games. The game's single player is solid with a good mix of stealth and firefights. Some gamers might not like that the story has been modernized and that the cast is different from the movie but if you can accept this fact, you will probably enjoy the game. The game has fourteen missions with four difficulty settings to choose from including 007 classic which means that you must pick up body armor to prevent yourself from being wounded. This health system is exactly the same as GoldenEye N64, The World is Not Enough and Nightfire. The other difficulty settings have your health regenerate but personally, I never liked the regenerating health system especially for first person shooters. There are also time trials for each mission but unfortunately they don't unlock anything. While the single player was good, the multiplayer was the real highlight. The multiplayer maps were good and the weapons were balanced out nicely. The shotguns weren't overpowered like in GoldenEye Reloaded or Quantum Of Solace or underpowered like in Blood Stone. Instead you get a good selection of gadgets, weapons and weapon attachments which you get by leveling up. This process ends at level 56 and which takes most gamers about 8 days to reach so it's rewarding when you get there. The only problems I had with the multiplayer were the hackers, the lack of a host migration, the occasional glitches and lag and the fact that everyone had access to the grenade launcher. Still, in terms of modern multiplayer James Bond games, GoldenEye 007 Wii is the best one by far.

GoldenEye Reloaded is a game that you will probably either like or hate. If you expect it to be like the movie or the N64 game then you will probably hate it. If you take the game for what it is then you will probably enjoy it. Of the James Bond games that Activision made, I would have to say that GoldenEye Reloaded is the best because it had the most replay value. The MI6 Ops missions were very well done. They included elimination, stealth, defense and assault. You get higher scores based on how quickly you complete these missions and on what difficulty you set the missions to and unlike the challenges in 007 Legends, these were pretty difficulty and rewarding once you got all 44 stars. I will say that the multiplayer was a disappointment to the Wii version's multiplayer. The shotguns are way over powered and are effective even at medium range, there is no host migration and there is a double kill glitch that allows gamers to get cheap kills. There are more multiplayer maps which is a plus but personally, I wish there was more focus on correcting the few issues that GoldenEye 007 Wii had instead. The single player is the same as the single player from the Wii version and if you can get past the fact that the story and cast is different from the movie then you might enjoy this one.

When I first played Quantum Of Solace six years ago I thought it was a very good game. Now looking back on it, it's kind of average. They did a good job making you feel like you were in the movie mostly due to the game's cover system and the game stayed faithful to both Casino Royale and Quantum Of Solace for the most part but what really hurt this game was that it was too generic. It was far too easy to just hide behind cover and pick enemies off by simply blind firing. The game was also pretty linear in design and there wasn't much exploration. The AI was very smart in this game however but unfortunately that's because they are all programmed to know exactly where you are. The multiplayer in this game is okay but I wish the weapons were balanced out better. Anyway this is not a bad game to have... at least for a rental.

James Bond 007: Blood Stone was a pretty decent game but the major reason why some people don't like it is due to it's relatively short length and its poor multiplayer. The game's story is the highlight here and you feel like you are in a James Bond movie. The gameplay is pretty good overall and while it's a little to simple at times and even a little restrictive, the driving missions offer a nice change of pace. If you are looking for an adventure style game with lots of exploration, than this probably isn't the game for you but if you are a bond fan or enjoy straightforward action games with a good movie feel than you might want to give this game a try. This is probably the second best third person James Bond game. The best in my opinion is Everything or Nothing.

007 Legends had the potential to be a really great game but unfortunately it didn't even come close to that. The story wasn't good and the game was far too easy even on the hardest difficulties. The boss fights were boring, you have so much health that you feel invincible and because it's difficult to stay stealthy in this game, you will have to go in gunblazing most of the time which simply isn't very fun. The multiplayer was decent but it was plagued by glitches and a host migration system that didn't always work. The voice over work was also a mixed bag (Timothy Watson was awful as both James Bond and GoldFinger) and not being able to play as Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Roger Moore was disappointing. 007 Legends was a very bland game that did not capture the feeling of being Bond at all and simply wasn't much fun to play. If you want a decent James Bond game for XBOX 360, you would do better with GoldenEye Reloaded, Bloodstone and Quantum Of Solace.
