    From Russia With Love isn't the most challenging or in-depth game in the world, however what it lacks in both of these categories it more than makes up for by simply being a highly entertaining and authentically cinematic shoot'em-up game.

    At the end of the day, it has quite a compelling story and where else are you going to hear Sean Connery in a videogame.

    Despite the missteps, the whole of FRWL satisfies with a combination of excellent graphics, (literally) jazzy tunes, and varied gameplay.

    It's harmless mass-market entertainment; the kind that any discerning gamer should already know to leave well alone. [Christmas 2005, p.116]

    This game captures Bond at his best. Although Connery's voice isn't quite as young as it used to be, using him as voice talent for the game was a great move on EA's part. Connery adds authenticity to this game which also features excellent gameplay, controls, sound effects, and storyline. Capures the aura of 1960's Russia perfectly. There are many weapons and gadgets that can be upgraded as well. Superb game.… Expand

    From Russia With Love is the third-best Bond game ever! The first being James Bond 007: Nightfire for the Nintendo GameCube, and the second being James Bond 007: Nightfire for the PC. Finally there's a Bond game with Sean Connery, instead of Daniel Craig all the time. This game has everything required for the perfect game. It has jet packs, the Aston Martin DB5, Q Copters, a flawless aiming system, a remarkable replayability rate, a wide range of weapons, an amazing multiplayer play, and the best thing, of course, is Sean Connery as Bond. I don't have any idea how this game could get any better; besides if Sean Connery, himself, played it with you.… Expand
