   There is a distinct lack of decent first person bond games for the ps3, I have just finished playing through this one last night, overall I think it's a good effort, funny enough goldeneye reloaded scored better in the reviews than legends even though essentially they play the same. This is what I like, thanks to the COD engine the gameplay is butter smooth, the action is fast and furious, the weapons are varied and detailed, the production is of a very high quality although some cutscenes are slightly lacklustre and the level design is brilliant. What I don't like, quick time fight scenes, critical stealth sections, poor stealth mechanic and a lack of context in the storyline, it would have been better to play the entirety of gold finger or moonraker as a complete story than just the highlights of a particular story mashed together in no particular order, still it's a bond game and makes you feel like bond and for me that's enough. A must have for any true fan of the genre.… Expand

   Voice acting, boss fights and graphics are largely terrible but there's enough fun in it to justify a play through. Multiplayer is pretty good too (though mainly because its the same as COD)… Expand

   This year marks the 50th anniversary of Ian Flemming's James Bond big screen adaptations. What a way to celebrate, by having a game which grabs hold of some of the most memorable moments of the franchise and squashes them in to an entire game that barely lasts six hours. The problem is the game is as convoluted and nondescript as the rank and file of those Bond dispatches. The biggest ding in 007 Legends is to do with the sheer repetition and aggravation derived from the gameplay. The fact that it mimics COD isn't the problem, but the way it does nothing original, whilst packing in waves upon waves of mindless AI drones is a sickening letdown. The game also shares very clear similarities with its predecessor Goldeneye Reloaded. That is to say, the same animations for kills are repeated over and over and the bullet soaking AI are infuriatingly persistent. Stealth could've been Legends' savior, were it not for the fact that you can be caught by simply shooting a silent pen dart at a scientist, even when other AI's aren't aware. They simply have superhuman perception. The game forces you to play in a specific way too, whilst also ensuring that it tares off COD setpiece ideas and calls them their own. Eurocom should know better from their work on the franchise in the past. Most of all this game wants us to thaw Bizarre Creations out of cremation and produce original Bond games like Blood Stone- which is a very underrated third person shooter.… Expand
