Really happy to see other people agree with me that this game is actually really fun for me 7.5/10

7 out of 10 would be reasonable. 6 would be understandable. 5 would be stupid.

In 2020 , I can confirm it , this game was an actual gem ,I played it back when I was a kid . It was awesome and now I m gonna play it again

"hey jimmy! the boss just called, he wants you to review an action game" "is it COD?" "no" "give it a five"

Believe me it's not bad at all

This has some of the best hand to hand takedowns in any game. 8/10

This game is so underrated. Shame it wasn't appreciated when it came out. It is for sure the best Bond game since Everything or Nothing.

My god ign.. i'd rather play through the campaign of this 3 times than play ANY cod game after bo1

This is one of my favourite games ever!

Loved this game, one of my favourite Bond games! :D

This game is absolutely amazing

LOL sure ign goat simulator got 8 and this 5

just finished the game and the score that i give it is 7.5-8/10 .

Im a BIG and tbh biased james bond fan, this game does not deserve a 5, its more like a 7.5. I do think they could have made it a lot better, you can beat the game in a little over 5 hours but there's really no reason to go back after you beat it like other games. In short it's a must ''rent'', a 5 rating is just cruel!!

IGN, get lost. This is an amazing game, 9-10/10 for me.

I really liked this game I. While first person James bond is good, I liked third person better!

top 3 worst ign reviews 1: Alien Isolation 2: Layers of Fear 1 3: James Bond 007: Blood Stone

This game still holds up today. Sure it needs some polish but overall it was a great experience.

This is my second favorite bond game after nightfire it's so fun!

2010 was an era where ign was shitting on anything that didnt include an fps competitve online mulyiplayer mode or if it was trying to imitate cod

Take of 2,5 points from Goldeneye Reloaded and give them to Bloodstone

5/10? my rating for this game is 7.5/10.its really a good game, 007 fans will surely love this game..i wondering why ign is under rating good games :(

I just played this amazing game again, and I'm still as disgusted at this review video as I was 9 years ago. This game easily deserves a 7/8 and arguably an 8/10.

this game was so good

Wow so the dislikes are cause the review bashed the game. I like it :)

i had so much fun playing that game! unfortunately it was way too short!

"what is the password for the USB drive" lol i cracked up i never thought id hear a villain say that

Ah, another IGN review! Here's what I saw + Fun driving + Good visuals + Cool moves - Not call of duty 5.0

I like how great of a compliment the reviewer gave at the end. "Then this is indeed the George Lazenby of Bond games" On Her Majesty's Secret Service is my favourite Bond movie.

This was better than Goldeneye.

I completely disagree this game is one of my favourites I'm not sure if that's because I a bond mega fan or not

The amount of nostalgia this brings upon me

Such a great campaign I was really into the story in this one

I think that goldeneye n64 and nightfire everything or nothing were the best I liked from Russia with love just as much as the other 3

“Waah! A COD knock-off is a better game than something that’s actually had passion put into it!”

"What is the password for the USB drive?! Tell me the key to crack-the-code!"

great game with a great storyline. the gameplay was smooth and entertaining and felt like a real bond movie.

This game was better than what reviewers think. Yes the game was too short and the online melee system was horrible. But besides that chases where fun and the story was interesting.

The best things about the game are 1.The Soundtrack 2.The Tunnel Drill part and *maybe* the minigun on the hovercraft-boat-thing.

The reviewer said that Daniel Craigs face is expressionless, well that's why he's a good bond, spys are supposed to not care, not burst right into tears when killing someone.

"Best Bond game". - All the kiddies who haven't played a single other Bond game.

It's way better than a 5

I'm currently playing this game and I can honestly tell you that it is quite fun. The graphics might not be that great but the fun-factor more than makes up for it. I would give it a solid 8.0!

the multiplayer extended my game for like 4 weeks

There's no reward for being stealthy... yes there is you get to see awesome take down cut scenes

He was only referring to the snap-to aiming, that's the only major thing they have in common.

This game was really good! I think it was meant to be like an interactive bond movie so they don't focus that much on the gameplay

Never mentioned anything about multiplayer. Picked it up solely for the single player experience, which I think is well worth a 15-20 dollar price tag.

So basically we got a half assed james bond that most people would ride for graphics, but wii got pure fun

So an average first person shooter game can get an 8 or a 9, but an average third person shooter game can only get a 5... I'll get this when it gets a price drop.

I think the lack of gadgets is due to the fact that the reboot of Bond (Craig Era) follows a more grounded, realistic feel hence the lack of toys and gadgets even in the movies.

The guy sounds bored, like he just wants to get it over with and forget about it forever

I loved this game!! The multiplayer is pretty weak yes, but I thought the campaign was phenomenal! I've replayed this game a countless number of times.

I'm remember how excited I was when this came out, played it several times, if I still had a Xbox 360 I'd play it again no doubt !! Graphics still look slick in my opinion

there did not hate on BF3,red dead redemption,killzone 3, super mario galaxy 2, max payne 3, the walking dead episode 1, assains creed 2, dead space 1 and 2,grand theft auto iv and i can just keep going on about the good games which they gave good review for

it bugs me when reviewers nowdays downplay a good game just because its average, theres no rule that says average cant be fun

I give this game 8.0 its really good feeling when you kick somebody ass. I love mele combat system like this one.

its not just this reviewer or this review this is how they review most games that dont have the COD label on it

I am a huge massive James Bond 007 fan and I am only fourteen years old. This is one of the best bond games I have ever played and IGN should have rated this game more than just a 5, also I thought Rak was a memorable villan

at 1:21 "With Daniel Craig's expressionless face smeared across it"?! 1) I'd like to see you say that to his face. 2) What do you expect him to be like? Smiling and laughing his way through each level? He's a secret agent for God's sake! >:O

This game was actually really fun

"As far as consolation prizes go, this is about as comforting as an open-mouthed kiss from Dame Judi Dench." That seems a bit harsh, don't ya think? And by the end he says that it's not bad, just average. I'm not even bringing my opinions into this, I'm not trying to attack or defend this game. I'm just pointing out that you can see the discrepencies between his snarky piss-on-it-for-laughs tone and his actual critical analysis IN THE SUBSTANCE OF HIS OWN REVIEW. IS NO ONE ELSE SEEING THIS?!

Why the hell would there be old villans if it's a brand new game not based on any movie?

@dopeboydrama what he meant was having a memorable main villian, one that you find interesting and will remember them after the game is over. the same would be for all characters in the game

Are you saying my buttocks is bad? Woah, we got an Evil Kenevil over here!

I allowed David Hasselhoff access to my fan, I'm not ashamed.

The guys that made Batman Arkham Asylum should handle the next Bond game

Back when I first got an xbox 360 as a kid i wasnt allowed to buy any shooting games. I would rent this game at the video store and play the campaign. I had so much fun with it even though it wasnt the best at the time.

Why does it seem like most everyone subscribed to IGN's channel hate all their videos?

This guy doesn't know anything about Bond if he thinks George Lazenby was a bad Bond.

I mean I like that the dislikes are because the review bashed it.

If MGM continues to have a stranglehold on the Bond films,, Blood Stone isn't a 'Meh' substitute. This is a continuation of the events in Quantum of Solace, and that alone, inside a completely playable shooter, makes it at least a 6.5.

All I want is a stealth James bond game. I think that's why I got into splinter cell so much.

1:40 DO NOT TOUCH SAM FISHER! and i dont really think its because its a 3rd person shooter they give it a 5. its because it doesnt say call of duty or made by bioware. as far i recall, they gave MW2 a + for the 3rd person

(ctd.) used some pretty odd gadgets and devices, but casino royale and quantum of solace used seemingly realistic devices. In the game, you're even given a smart phone that displays enemies through walls and he doesn't acknowledge THAT as a gadget? It's a shame they got a classic bond fan boy to review a game based on the setting of recent Bond films.

An opinion can't be bad, but a review can be. An opinion doesn't have to have a basis in fact, and reviews are built substantially on the opinion of the reviewer, but if a review gets factual information about a game wrong, like, for instance, when IGN says in their Aliens Versus Predator review that Rebellion was 'the very same studio that brought us the last great AVP effort in 1999', when Monolith made AVP2 in 2001, which IGN rated higher than the 1999 AVP game, which indicates poor research

All recent bond films and games have lacked silly random gadgets that would be pointless anywhere but in a bond setting and fun, almost childish, humour

So gamestop has this game for $10 and I'm thinking if i should get it or not. Anyone wanna give me their input on it? Is it worth $10? Thanks

@Barnski105 over saturated? I don't get it

Did they find this guy off the street? Honestly im looking at the fucking game and can tell it atleast deserves a 8.

sorry for all the comments but the core gameplay does amke you feel like Bond and thats really what we want

I like how he comments about Daniel Craig's face being expressionless when I was thinking the same thing about the way this guy talks over the review. Come on, man, put a little umph in to it.

They always seem to get things wrong now a days ... the Daniel Craig version of bond is to be seen as more action over flare such as the Pierce Brosnan character from Bond ... they have moved bond away from 50's 60's version of a spy movie to Suter the taste of a moderate crowd that's why you don't see gadgets and these games but reviewers seem to be stuck on that they even made a joke about it in Skyfall where Q said what were you expecting an exploding pen ... all in all a very unappreciated game

@UnionJackGaming Different reviewers mean different pinions mean different scores for completely different games. Just because one game got a certain score doesn't mean another one gets the same.

I DONT GET IT! the guy is telling me this game sucks but i watch the gameplay and think it looks amazing

this game was no everything or nothing but provided brief enjoyment for a day.

wow the driving bit looks awesome!

I can hear the enthusiasm in this reviewer's voice... This is stupid. This game is good! I just wish it was a first person like Goldeneye.

It's sad really. I honestly thought the game was one of the most visually stunning I've seen in a while. If he was to take the professional approach, he would acknowledge the fact that the original actors from the movie were included with praise instead of brushing them aside at the first mention. And what's this whole thing with 'no gadgets' ? Has he seen the more recent films? It's true that older Bond titles used some pretty odd gadgets and devices, but casino royale and quantum of solace us

This guy sounds bitter that he didn't get to play Goldeneye.

Picked this up at GameStop for cheap. It was worth the 15 bucks, it's criminally short(I beat it in 2 sittings!), but other than the length, it's well worth a rent or a used game buy.

he seemed so disappointed when he first said 3rd person shooter 0:31

like you guys wouldn't kill for an open mouth kiss from Dame Judy Dench. I think we all would sire.

I realy hate the driving ,my pc is realy bad and when this sections start my fps drops from 25 to 15 :(

I first started playing this today, and its awesome!

those car sequence graphics are too good.

I dont know why you guys think its average, cause seriously i really enjoyed playing this and thats all that matters

What does it mean when it says "the verdict"?

When reviews were still reviews.

This game looks fantastic (well maybe except for Judi Dench) and it gets only 5? That's insane.
