Highs: Excellent blend of cinematics and action, for those who like that genre. Well-executed third-person format; rare clipping and line-of-sight problems. Good intro scene (ala an actual 007 movie) that doubles as a training mode; as a result it's a great game for someone who hasn't picked up a first- or third-person action title in a while.
Middles: A whole lot of things you can do, drive, and shoot ... which means a whole lot of button and button-combos to memorize. Takes a little too long to become second-nature.
Lows: Below average multiplayer game. (Do NOT buy this game expecting a good multiplayer experience; buy it for the first-person action and story line.) Targeting easy; fine-tuned targeting difficult. (Many times I lined up the red dot within the target bracket, only to hit an obstacle in between.) Almost too easy in the early levels; Bond can take a lot of bullets and keep on ticking. Consider ramping up the difficulty.
Summary: Multiplayer issues aside, a good buy for someone looking for the next fun action game; a GREAT buy for a casual gamer or a gamer who loves all things Bond. Hard-corps gamers, though, may find it too easy, too heavy on the cinematics and too light on the attention to fighting and multiplayer.
