from: Electronic Arts EAN: 0014633141849 ESRB Age Rating: Teen Label: Electronic Arts Manufacturer: Electronic Arts Platform: Nintendo 64 Publisher: Electronic Arts Sales Rank: 3197 Studio: Electronic Arts Variation Description: World Is Not Enough Related Items: Editorial Review: Amazon.com Review: Considering the success Rare's GoldenEye 007 has had on the Nintendo 64, Electronic Arts designers had their work cut out for them in making another 3-D shooter using the James Bond license. The World Is Not Enough is a smashing success in terms of its graphics and sound, as well as in how it weaves the movie's plot into the gameplay. Unfortunately, this Bond game has just enough flaws to keep it from achieving classic status. If you've seen the movie on which this is based, the game's levels will all be familiar. There has been a kidnapping and it's up to you to scour the globe, rescue the victim, and untangle a twisty plot laced with betrayal. It wouldn't be a Bond game without myriad gadgets to help you along the way, so there's plenty of stuff to play with, including a multifunction laser/stun gun/grappling hook watch, safecracking equipment, and x-ray glasses. Weapons range from Bond's signature 9 mm automatic to shotguns, assault rifles, and everything in between. The game takes full advantage of the N64 Expansion Pak to pump up the graphics, and the game uses speech compression to give all the characters spoken dialogue. This makes the missions far more engaging than they would otherwise be, but brain-dead enemies really spoil the fun. The average Bond movie henchmen don't exactly have Einstein- caliber IQs, but shooting wave after excruciating wave of soldiers who do little more than blindly rush at you is just tedious. At least most missions throw innocent guards and bystanders into the mix so that even if the enemy isn't thinking clearly, you still have to be on your toes to prevent civilian casualties. The World Is Not Enough is a solid game that should appeal to fans of the movie, but stick with GoldenEye 007 or Perfect Dark if you want to experience a truly good 3-D shooter on the N64. --T. Byrl Baker Pros:
Amazon.com Product Description: The World Is Not Enough is the highly anticipated sequel to the Nintendo 64's hugely popular first-person shooter, Golden Eye 007. Playing as James Bond, you'll accomplish mission objectives while using your Licence to Kill any bad guy in your sites. Crouch, jump, swim, climb, and run through each mission. There are three difficulty settings, each one making the bad guys tougher while adding mission objectives. And, playing to Bond's particularly glamorous skills, there is a forced-scrolling skiing-and-shooting level. Get important game info from the good guys you meet, including Q and M. Just like its predecessor, The World Is Not Enough has a multiplayer mode that's sure to be popular. The game has at least five multiplayer arenas for two-on-two, two-on-one, and three-on-one teams. Choose any character from the single-player mode, designate players controlled with artificial intelligence, and customize the match's settings: starting arsenal, weapons available for pickup, health power-ups, and match duration. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Great multi-player.This game has a great solo campain but the multi-player is where it is at in my opinon. There is a lot of weapons to choose from as well as characters and unlockables. Gameplay: Pretty straight foreward. I have found something cheap in it with the AI. They are cheap when with fully automatic weapons you hear a bang and you are dead. Well that is how it is for me. Sound: Pretty real... not much more to say.. Story: Not to complex. Overall: A great ...

This game includes (reload animations, crisper gaphics, voice acting, and lighting effects. The gameplay while not as good as goldeneye is still solid. All in all if you like the N64 or goldeneye pick this game uo Rating: - James bond 007 in The World Is Not Cool EnoughThis is another good bond game on N64! The Levels are a bit of a challenge but what the hell who doesnt like a good challenge once in a while right? Some of the Levels though are also confusing but fun! I like this game for it's crisp graphics and selection of weapons! There is also a good selection of gadgets! Many Levels to do if yur up for it! Sure you might say this guys dumb we beat goldeneye with over 20 levels! Well this game may not have as many levels as Goldeneye but the levels ... Read More Rating: - Surprisingly more than enoughThis is of course the video game adaptation of the third James Bond movie featuring Pierce Brosnan. It's also a kind of sequel to the N64 classic GoldenEye, though it's developed by Eurocom rather than Rareware. I'm not sure how well this game sold, but it's a surprisingly above-average effort considering the expectations it had to live up to. It borrows heavily from the control scheme established by GoldenEye while throwing in a few new modifications (ability to jump, new gadgets, etc). ... Read More Rating:  - Halo killer!First of, don't even think about this game if you don't have an expansion pack, you don't get hi-color graphics which make the game look 100x better. Secondly the single player is horrible, its too easy on Agent and Secret Agent difficulty, plus the baddies don't have brains! What I mean is the AI could be tweaked a little. On 00 Agent difficulty it takes a million shots to take down an enemy. But this review is for multiplayer which is 100 stars. There are many skins and maps, with more to be unlocked. ... Read More |
