While I have yet to see the film, Daniel Craig's latest outing as James Bond, 'Skyfall', is reportedly one of the best entries in the long-running series. Seeing as how that's the case, it would make sense that the newest game, '007 Legends', would be one of the best Bond games, right?

007 Legends Review: 007 Legends is Activision's take on the Bond series for the 50th Anniversary, recreating some of the most iconic moments in Bond history from Die Another Day, Goldfinger, License to Kill, Moonraker, and On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

They chose the right moments from Bond history to put into 007 Legends; Vehicle sequences are fun; as were Moonraker's space sequences

Dozens of glitches and bugs; A large number of objects are just textures and aren't actual objects; Combat sequences are boring and predictable; There are no real objectives

Poor: Something went wrong somewhere along the line. The original idea might have promise, but in practice the game has failed. Threatens to be interesting sometimes, but rarely.

There is a tiny hope every time I get my hands on a licensed game that it will be as good as Batman: Arkham Asylum, probably the best licensed game of all time (with the possible exception of its sequel). Usually these hopes are dashed to pieces scant minutes after starting the game.

Judi Dench; Decent weapon customization

The gameplay is derivative and has not one single redeeming quality; Poor visuals; The license offers such a wonderful opportunity

007 Legends was intended as homage to almost 50 years of James Bond films. Instead, it looks and plays like an embarrassing cash-in.

Four-player split screen multiplayer

Featuring interminable loading times; lifeless cutscenes; and tedious gameplay; 007 Legends is outdated in almost every way.

Eurocom's 007 Legends is a game about falling. We see it in the way the opening minutes feature Daniel Craig's James Bond plummeting into a river after a friendly sniper accidentally shoots him off a speeding train, and we experience it in the way this latest installment in the long-running...

Local; split-screen multiplayer mode can be fun

Horrible stealth mechanics; Punch-Out-style boss fights are dull; Lackluster presentation; Story is hard to follow if you're unfamiliar with the movies

Designed to commemorate James Bond's 50th anniversary in film, 007 Legends take players through a handful of the British spy's cinematic exploits, with one slight catch: as with Activision's reboot of GoldenEye, each movie adaptation stars Daniel Craig's likeness instead of the original actors.

As a lifelong James Bond fan, the prospect of a game that took you through some of the long-running series' most memorable moments was pretty exciting. And 007 Legends managed to completely kill that excitement long before I finished the game's opening chapter drawn from the Goldfinger film.

You may have noticed the James Bond film franchise celebrating its fiftieth birthday recently. Starting with the release of a documentary charting its story and climaxing with the release of the 23 rd film Skyfall, Bond has been everywhere.

Multiplayer is solid; Gameplay is broken up, making it less of a slog.

Mind-numbing QTE segments; A shameless CoD clone; When asked his name, Bond replies with just "James Bond".
