What I mean by this is that each of these missions is really its own telling of the films, albeit a condensed one.Īt the start of each mission, you’ll be waking up a bit dazed and confused. Instead, we received a story that tried to take the plot and villains from six different Bond films, then smash them into an eight-hour game. When fans were told that the new story would take us to classic locations where we’d take down classic villains alongside the trusty Bond girls, we were hooked. Generations have grown up reading, playing, and watching Bond. So much interest that the character and his stories date back all the way to the early 1950’s. There had always been a huge interest in the world’s most famous spy: James Bond, even outside the game world. The announcement for 007 Legends was one video game fans had been clamoring for – ever since the release of GoldenEye 007: Reloaded. However, developer Eurocom and publisher Activision certainly seemed up for the task when they released 007 Legends for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and PC. It’s hard to believe that the entire 007 universe – with all its characters and history – could be summarized into six missions with a video game. Even if you haven’t seen or played a game, you know of the character. After all, Ian Fleming’s James Bond is one of the most memorable characters of all time.

As soon as that name is mentioned, memories from dozens of films may flash before you.
