I find it hard to believe that James Bond has graced the
Silver Screen for 50 years! I’m old
enough to remember when Dr. No, From Russian With Love and the Bond movie by
which all others are measured, Goldfinger, came to movie theaters. I’ve followed the intrepid 007’s cinematic
career since the beginning, through its highs and lows and watched as 007
merchandise has spilled over to video games.
There have been some great James Bond video games but
Activision’s 007 Legends tops them all.
Besides starring the likeness of the latest Bond, Daniel
Craig, the video games ties into the upcoming Bond film, Skyfall.
In the game a scene is taken directly from the film when
Bond gets shot and falls into river in a canyon. While lingering between life and death his
life flashes before his eyes and he relives, along with gamers, some of his
greatest adventures.
Look for some incredible action and adventure as experienced
by Bond in Die Another Day, Goldfinger, Licence To Kill, Moonraker and On Her Majesty’s
Secret Service. Learn what it was like
to take on such memorable villains as Goldfinger, Blofeld, Jaws and many more.
The new video game for PS3, allows players to take on the
role of Bond and use his wits, agility, gadgets and fighting prowess to take on
deadly foes and dangerous situations.
Vehicles of all types are seen and used in the game-anything
from fast cars, aircraft, boats and any other form of transportation Bond can
manage to get his hands on.
The action takes place in a 360 degree, cinematic world with
lots of breath-taking vistas and locales, spectacular visual effects,
impressive sound effects and a killer soundtrack. Players interact one-on-one and the action
never lets up. You’ll never know what
might appear around the next corner.
Dastardly villains and beautiful women populate Bond’s world
whether you decide to play as a single-player or take part in a 12-player
online competition.
Gadgets are even easier to come by, practice your skill in
the various Mini-Games and choose to use taking full vehicle control or letting
the game control various craft while you concentrate on using your weapon(s).
Whether you play Bond or one of his many foes, 007 Legends
delivers a spectacular experience like a bullet in a barrel. Bond.
James Bond.
