Bond fans - we must be the only group of gamers that actually miss the days EA had the rights to our series.

"Sorry I didnt catch your na..." "JAMES BOND" This game in a nutshell.

"By the way, I didn't catch yo-" "JAMES BOND"

Love how non-nonchalantly you say "Bond is handed an assault rifle, by ghosts, or something"

The new Hitman games are the closest we can get to an actual Bond game these days

Never thought Pussy Galore running up stairs would make me laugh out loud! 6:55

"Making Pierce Bronsnan the only Bond who has had all of his films translated to video games in some way" I mean, technically, _technically,_ George Lazenby has too...

I know it’s unlikely that this will ever happen but I would love to see a new bond game based on the cancelled third bond film featuring Timothy Dalton, The Property of a Lady, It would be awesome to see that story made into a game, Dalton would most likely be able reprise his role as bond since he’s still alive, there’d be various locations like Tokyo, Hong Kong, etc and I would prefer for it to be in third person so we can see Timothy Dalton’s model, the game can be semi open world but not fully free roam, the game can have driving levels since the Aston Martin db5 was meant to appear in the film or even flying levels and more That’s my dream bond game

Bond games need to get away from constantly trying to be GoldenEye and focus on something that builds characters, a MetroidVania game in the style of Arkham Asylum, where the whole game is set infiltrating a Spectre citadel would make for an amazing Bond game.

This game might be terrible, but this video is a good present for the Sunday evening!

"Goldeneye: Rogue Agent" was the "Shadow the Hedgehog" of Bond games. "007 Legends" by that token must be the "Sonic '06". XD

"Sorry I didn't catch your--" JAMES BOND

The vending machine countdown had me in tears. Great video as always

Don’t feel bad we Star Wars fans are feeling a drought in the gaming department as well.

"I didn't catch your-" "JAMES BOND!" I'm 8 mins in and I can already tell this is going to be fun! Hahaha! The only saving grace this game has is the soundtrack and character models. Genuinely nice to hear some of the older, classic Bond motifs completely reorchestrated and integrated into a modern score. This game had so much potential and now i've been reminded about it i'm just angry all over again!! I remember playing this when it was released and getting up to that insanely boring stealth sequence during the Licence To Kill mission and I just stopped playing. Didn't complete it until a few years ago and found the fact that the whole thing just abruptly ends completely unbelievable.

37:24 Now I want to see the 15 min Skyfall Special Edition, where M immediately calls Bond after he was shot down and climbed out of the water to say that she's sorry. He forgives her. Then credit roll.

I want a James bond game for the ps4

That goldfinger laser scene was probably one my top 5 favorite movie scenes ever

This is pretty much the Kevin McClory of the Bond games. Someone who tries to act as if he belongs to the series, but instead was just another mistake to be made.

Whos here after the new game was announced?

Craig in a space suit is so hilarious

Interesting fact: The Wii U version is technically the “definitive version”. It’s the only version where you can do the unlocking mechanisms and switch weapons and gadgets with the GamePad touch screen, albeit mediocre, but they still tried I suppose. It’s the only version where Skyfall dlc is included, which is why it’s funnily dubbed “definitive” lol. Can make kinda in bed too with the GamePad lol. Also the only version you can play separate screens in offline multiplayer.

Here’s a new angle for this game: what if they did a 007 legends but in Lego? With the newest Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga boasting a complex combat system with special abilities, a massive character roster with many actors reprising their roles and a massive open world. I get some of the innuendos and violence would be hard to work around, but I would love it if they did.

The closest thing you can get to a Bond game these days is actually the modern Hitman games. (HITMAN 2016 and HITMAN 2). I think you might like them actually.

It’s really a shame that modern companies are looking at movie licenses as quick cash grabs with the emphasis on quick. It’s like they believe that “real” gamers won’t play it so all they have to do is throw some fan service on a half-assed 20min game and everyone will pay 60.00 for it. You can look at Star Wars, or this game to see what modern gaming companies think of these licenses. The thing that made older bond games like goldeneye, everything or nothing, nightfire etc. great was that it was a AMAZING game in the James Bond universe. Not just pixelized James Bond characters set to clash of clans.

The Moon raker “level” is by far the best one, yet the Goldfinger is extremely slow

I for one really liked this game. When I got my 360 in 2013, I played 007 Legends for the first time and was mind blown by the graphics because before I had my 360, I was playing PS2 (I still play PS2 to this very day). I think the game was awesome but the Skyfall DLC is absolute garbage because you don't get to drive into Scotland or drive up to the Skyfall Lodge. The DLC is a HUUUUGE disappointment but all in all, I liked the game because it felt like GoldenEye: Reloaded but based around old 007 movies (Goldfinger, OHMSS, License To Kill, Die Another Day and Moonraker.

Slow day at work today, watching Dyson’s new review to pass the time. To make matters better, it’s a public holiday here in NZ today, that means we are being payed extra, so basically I’m getting paid double to watch a brand new KZfaq video! Fuck yeah, talk about a bloody profit!

Such a wasted opportunity... They could have brought back the original actors (which can never happen now) for their films, or even better, made original stories for all of them. It would solve several problems and just be amazing. Imagine getting new adventures for Connery and Moore, Lazenby finally getting revenge after OHMSS, Dalton getting the third film he deserved, Brosnan getting Phoenix Fire or something, and Craig getting ...whatever. And then have multiplayer levels from every film and even some based on books etc, plus the cars, the gadgets, and references to everything Bond ever made. Well, I can only dream...

21:08 Both TLD and LTK have had videogame adaptions. I never could bring myself to play this one, it looked so horrid. In the early 2000's we had Agent Under Fire, Nightfire & Everything Or Nothing (a golden era). A decade later we had.... this.

Say what you want about Goldeneye Rogue Agent but at least it had set designs made by Ken Adams. God knows why they couldn't use that design here.

In my opinion 007 Legends was terrible but my favourite mission was On Her Majesty’s Secret Service and I wished the other actors had their likeness and voices in the game. Can’t wait to see the 007 Racing review keep it up Calvin 👍🏻

The highlight for me was probably the finale of the Goldfinger portion. Say what you will about how inaccurate it is to the source, but it was absolutely action packed and pretty honestly well done. It kinda highlighted how well Reloaded handled allot of its revision. The problem is that no other part of the game kept that same momentum and it was a very hit or miss experience afterwards.

When I was younger I enjoyed this game immensely. It's a shame to revisit the game and see how objectively poor it is, especially because of how much fun I had with the stealth and gadgets.

I want a James Bond game in the style of Mass Effect or the Deus Ex games.

I SO wish we’d get a Blofeld book sometime. Kim Newman would be perfect for something like that.

2012 saw the last 007 and medal of honor games. We're getting medal of honor again, now we need 007.

Fun fact: As I just learned, the voice actor of Golfinger and Bond are the same in this game... Meh

I was so disappointed when these levels were just flashbacks. When they announced that they were going to be tied with an over arching narrative I thought they were going to have all these villains working together all Spectre like.

When it comes to Bond games, im suprised they have never attempted to make a fighting game since the Bond movies are also known for the awesome fight scenes. This concept would have worked better as that, a fighting game with characters from past and present Bond movies, including all 6 Bonds if they could get the rights to use each of thier likenesses, Stages would be familiar locations from the Bond movies.

In all honesty my favorite segment in this game was On Her Majesty's Secret Service due to the Piz Gloria level, great review by the way, been waiting for this!

Tbh, I do prefer Goldeneye Reloaded to this mish mash of Bond movies in a video game, the idea was good but the execution of that idea was poor!

7:26 Try not throwing a punch... The game litterally gives you like 5 seconds. It's impossible to lose these fights.

It was actually incredibly clever to have all the original adventures take place (in some way) between QoS and Skyfall, then Spectre came out and ruined that lol

The worst thing is that this game probably picked the best out of the previous Bond actors’ films which could be made into a game: Goldfinger with its iconic characters and sequences, Secret Service with its ski chases, License to Kill with the tanker chase, Die Another Day with the vanquish chase and Graves fight, and Moonraker with the battle aboard the space station.

I’ve been looking forward for this ever since you hinted at an in-depth review in your original Legends first impressions!

I don't remember Bond waking up in a fancy hotel bed with a golden girl next to him in skyfall. He was on a island after he got shot.

30:07 Moonraker was the first movie announced as being in the game so those levels probably were finished first

Lmaooooo the James Bond part. You spit out your drink 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's always a pleasure to see one your reviews uploaded, especially the gaming ones. Some of my favorite moments from this video: 4:00 - 4:20 I'm sorry are we watching Bond keeping a low profile or how I like to play stealth sections? 25:10 Now I want someone to mod a Star Wars game to replace Emperor Palpatine with Gustav Graves. This works almost too well. 25:30 Geez, Bond are you going to make it? Do you need Q to design a helmet for you? What's going on buddy? 29:10 Well at least it makes sense this time. In regards to the lack of Bond games recently, Activison lost the James Bond Video Game License years ago and it has been in limbo ever since. Apparently in 2013 likely due to 007 Legends' poor sales & reception since the deal was supposed to last until 2014, so I guess this game did more damage than originally thought. On the bright side that along with other games like the Batman: Arkham series & PS4's Spider-Man prove that rushed games to release alongside a movie do not make as much money as taking the time needed to craft fun gameplay, writing great stories as well as simply giving the developers the time they need to complete the game. There have been some company presidents commenting about how they'd like to make some 007 games but so far nothing has progressed. One of those was the president of TellTale...but with the company filing for bankruptcy and shutting down a few months ago....yeah that's not going to happen although it would've been cool to a game focused more on the spy element similar to how their Batman games focused more on the detective aspect of the character. Regardless of who picks up the license (unless it's somehow EA again in which we'll need to host a funeral for 007 games) they will know that they can not crap out a 007 game & expect it to sale like crazy meaning the next game, whenever that'll release, should be something worth playing. Some day we will have another great 007 game...just probably not for another several years since again, no one has the license to make a James Bond video game right now and it'd (hopefully) take a few years to make to allow the time & effort it deserves.

It was playing Eurocom’s ‘GoldenEye 007’ on the Wii that got me into Bond in the first place. I’m forever glad I played that one and not this.

Judi Dench M would never apologize that is not her style she has shown many times the mission is important no matter what can happen to the agents

I waited YEARS for this review!

With all the Star Wars references, you think Zao in his coat looks like a sith lord from the expanded universe?

Oh, if you collect 007 games, try and get hold of the Wii U version of 007 Legends, they only made 5000 copies for Europe as Activision were trying to rush the game out before the lost the license. So it could be quite collectable someday.

I want rockstar to make a bond game. Imagine a gta like open world bond game based around true espionage where you could choose how to get close to the villain and how to take them down.

Nice to see Calvin back 😊

I've been waiting for this for about 5 years!

I know that this game wasn’t well received by the critics and it’s perfectly understandable but I can overlook its flaws because I found it to be a fun game but I still like this video because I really enjoy your videos whenever I watch them. You’re a great KZfaqr and I love that your channel is dedicated to something that is a big part of my life for as long as I can remember

At the time this game was released all Pierce Brosnan, Timothy Dalton, George Lazenby and Daniel Craig bond films had been at least partially adapted into games. Spectre now being the only Craig not to. I wish we had a video game with Roger Moore like we did Sean Connery.

I made the mistake of playing this on the highest difficult, so you can imagine the frustration and boredom. The MR section when you need to shoot the mechanisms before the globes are released was particularly vexing. I appreciate this for the set design. The Piz Gloria and Ice Palace sections are gorgeous. However ever since we've had the COD-esque style of Bond games, it's been a disappointment. I also thought the voice actor did a great job of capturing the bored essence of Daniel Craig's Bond.

Nobody: Bond: *Gets knocked out*

Your review is more interesting than the game itself

Afternoon Calvin!

Great review as usual. Been waiting to see this game reviewed by this channel. Legends was such a missed opportunity, can only hope that the Bond game franchise can bounce back for the current generation. Keep up the good work Calvin 👍.

Imagine having a weird time warp sorta feel....each time Bond looks in a mirror, he sees the right Bond for that era. With appropriate gameplay style for each.

21:08 Timothy Dalton had all of his Bond movies in video game form.

I think you’re right about the game’s story. Unless you know ahead of time about the mythology of James Bond your not going to understand the story of this game. I think the other problem is that they didn’t always choose the best film in each actors eras. Now they made the right choice with Goldfinger and they had no choice obviously with On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, but some of the other levels were just bad. I would have been fine if for Roger Moore they would have went with The Spy Who Loved Me or Live and Let Die, but why did they have to choose Moonraker a movie that the majority of Bond fans don’t like, and when I saw that Die Another Day was the movie they chose from the Brosnan era, I immediately turned off the game in frustration.

Hated the campaign, but my god my friends and I loved the split screen multiplayer. Great review as always Calvin!

Great video once again! Can you do star wars reviews like this? I would love that. Keep up the great work!

This was in 2012, so I'm thinking they could have gotten every bond back to voice their game moment. Moore was still alive then, and they'd be much better voice actors.

The Holly Goodhead Model looks like they swapped for what would have been Jynx in Die Another Day.

I remember when the developers said that they would "tie" the movie universes together with this game, which I was hyped for! To bad they got lazy and just used water hallucinations! Just like u said Calvin, its just a ton of mindless shooting, and zero differences in gameplay basically throughout the whole game! Stealth and gadgets were the best part about 007 Nightfire and Agent Under Fire, and they terribly implemented them into this game! What a shame! I hope we one day get a new 007 game!!!! Awesome review Calvin, I've been looking forward to it!!!

No more Bond games probably has to do with a wider game industry shift: No more console/PC movie-tie-in games. That the developers have seemingly caught onto the poor image that games have of movie game adaptations, and have simply decided to stop making them. Those that are made are in the form of mobile games, going all in on the casual market. And presumably, in the now-seven years since 007 Legends, no other game dev has garnered any interest on trying to pull a Batman Arkham or Spider-Man PS4 for a Bond game.

I hope we get a Dalton game at some point

The new hitman games are great. A sandbox bond game (each level being a different sandbox rather) would be pretty great.

Oh I’ve been waiting for this baby!!!!!

"I didn't catch you're name" "James Bond!" Most iconic quote in all of James Bond, his first line in the series and so much more, how do you fuck that up?

This was my first ever video game I got for myself. Instead of playing my siblings games,and because of this I have major nostalgia for this and so love the it. Understand its problems but will never dislike the game

I much would have preferred had this game used the likeliness of each of the Bond actors. Gameplaywise, this game needed much more polish, it was very rushed.

As a bond fan, I love this game!

26:30 I worked on this game as a beta tester in summer of 2012. In the earlier builds of the game, this character indeed did looked like the actress but they replaced the model a bit before release. I suppose they couldn't secure the rights to use her likeness for release.

Ever since Activision's Goldeneye remaster Bond hasn't used a Walther PPK for some reason.

Hell YES. I have been looking forward to this.

The only fun you had in an action game, was running away. 😄

I HATED how Goldfinger sounded in this game. Why couldn't they get the same actor from GoldenEye Rogue Agent? He was so good.

Have you played the rom hack of Goldeneye called Goldfinger 64?

I love 007 Legend because It was the first James bond game that I even played on my xdox 360

Activision rushed this out because their contract for the Bond license expired 2 months after this game came out. The PCGamingWiki page for the PC version of 007 Legends says that this is the cast, at least. Would've preferred Goldeneye Reloaded on Steam instead of this crap...

Miss you calvin ! Love the new video ! I hope some game company can make a new bond game which is *good*

10:03 - Interestingly I just checked and the voice actor who is doubling for Bond and Goldfinger is the same guy. So he's literally talking to himself!!

FINALLY WE’VE WAITED SO LONG

the parts that made me rage 1) on her majestys secret service on rails affair that made me absoultely angry 2) license to kill level pissed me off 3) die another day really fucked me off with the endless shooting of guards when you break into the icarus project and also the driving level 4) moonrakers destroying poison gas pods and also the pissing stealth mechanics and the part before the space station section where you infilitrate the control room and all 3 terminals that was garabage 5) the entire skyfall level sucked

It just plain sucks that this game killed the bond game. Hopefully when we get too see and here more about project 007 from the guys who made the hitman games we see something really good

I dont understand why many people does not like this game, is challenging, good graphics, contains License to kill my second favorite Bond movie. And also every time i play the game on multiplayer mode is a LOT OF FUN.

Since the trailer I thought that this was not going to be a good game and also I would prefer that for each mission they used the Bond actor at that time. For example: In Skyfall you use Daniel Craig, Die Another Day you use Pierce Brosnan, For Goldfinger - Sean Connery and I would love that they have their own unique abilities and ways of fighting, etc. I think that would have make it waaaay better! Oh! And, of course, that the missions be as close to the movie, not exactly the same but to catch the essence of them. My favorite opening secuence will forever be Nightfire's.

I remember getting this at launch thanks to the LoveFilm rental system they used to do and was so excited to have not paid after playing it! The only saving grace was the online as it was rather fun at launch but doubt anyone would have played it in January 2013 let alone now!

Don't worry Calvin, you weren't alone in hoping that all the Bond actors we're assembling to reprise thier roles for thier films, how awesome that could of been. Having Craig in the classic films makes no sense.

Can't wait to see what do you think about this one. I myself think that it's really bad. Keep the good work,Calvin! 😃 I am thinking of making a video on this game too!
