James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing

Maxim Online

In online, single player, or cooperative play, perform slick maneuvers like rooftop bike jumps, and earn “Bond Moment” points for unlockable weapons and levels.

Cheat Code Central

Not only is it dripping with production values, not only are the action sequences intense and the control spot on, but it NEVER stops being fun. With the hefty amount of challenge and unlockables, replay value is also extremely high.

Times Online

The over-theshoulder style does allow for the seamless integration of glossy scenes to drive on the plot and add a more genuine movie-like feel to the game.

Next Level Gaming

The most impressive feature of Everything or Nothing has to be the visuals. The game makes gamers feel like they are in the middle of James Bond movie while providing top notch graphics.

Worth Playing

EA Canada has done a stellar job in taking the Bond license and creating an experience that is right up there with watching the multi-million dollar budget movies.

GameZone

The shooting levels definitely benefit from the 3rd person perspective but the targeting controls could use some more work.

PSX Nation

This is by far the BEST. BOND. GAME. EVER. And I say that without a doubt in my mind.

Gamenikki

Perhaps best of all, however, is the way each level has multiple paths and solutions, not only during the 3PS (3rd-Person Shooter) elements, but also during the fantastic driving levels – which utilize the Need for Speed engine – where you’ll often have an option between Bond’s various automobiles (yes, including the Aston Martin), or the Q-Bike, and even, on occasion, a helicopter.

GameSpy

The first great translation of everything that makes James a 00 agent, and it's perhaps the best console Bond yet.

Inside Gamer Online

From the beginning of the game it's obvious that EA has gone to extremes to ensure that it feels just like the movies, and it really pays off.

Total Video Games

Offers an intense, action packed experience that ties in a nice selection of varied gameplay aspects to ensure the game never gets tired.

GamePro

Across the board, the slick environments, cut-scenes, and character faces shine, although some of the animations are awkward, particularly when 007 runs. A great title song by Mya, strong voice acting, and booming sound effects complete the package.

Cincinnati Enquirer

An ambitious but successful interactive adventure that blurs the lines between motion pictures and video games.

Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

Besides making a fantastically epic and over-the-top ultra-Bond flick, EA snuck in a little something called "a fantastic game" into the mix as well. [Apr 2004, p.97]

XGP Gaming

The level of replayability should keep you occupied for months and this is the version you have to have if you are a multiplatform owner, simply because of the special online co-op play.

Yahoo! Games

Packing serious star power, astounding production values, and surprisingly entertaining gameplay, Everything or Nothing delivers on all relevant counts, providing for a rousing escapade that ranks among the best to feature Her Majesty's finest.

GameSpot

A third-person action game that blends shooting, driving, and other types of action together in a seamless fashion, delivering an awesome experience that puts you in 007's shoes better than any game to come before it.

PSX Extreme

The game can be a little easy at times, and the short levels hurt the flow of the game, but if you’ve been a fan of 007 on the big screen or on a console, you won’t be disappointed by his latest outing.

PGNx Media

The sound effects and musical score (24's Sean Callery) really help the game give it more of that old-time Bond feel with mixes of classical Bond music.

Game Over Online

A solid story, engaging gameplay and sound technical merits makes Everything or Nothing the best Bond title that’s been released in years.

Stuff

It’s decidedly low-tech, but pleasing in a visceral way. While many scenes play out on foot, there are plenty of vehicles to operate, from tanks and choppers to a Porsche Cayenne.

Weekly Famitsu

9 / 8 / 8 / 9 - 34 gold [Vol 792; 20 Feb 2004]

IGN

Just a medley of solidly-executed gameplay ideas; stealth, explosive driving, shootouts, and huge boss fights come together to make it almost more compelling than some of the most recent movies.

Game Informer

Is it the next great evolution of gaming? Perhaps not, but it is a step towards creating the ultimate James Bond title. [Mar 2004, p.92]

1UP

It's a great feeling seeing something you shoot explode into tons of little chunks (which looks similar to when buildings explode in "Return of the King" -- another EA blockbuster title), and some of the racing scenes define the word "epic."

GameBiz

Everything or Nothing with its new cinematic approach to the series it has captured the essence of what Bond does in the movies very well.

Entertainment Weekly

Action addicts still get their share of mayhem, however, as EON delivers some spectacular levels, including a breakneck highway chase on a flamethrower-equipped motorcycle. Her majesty would definitely approve. [13 Feb 2004, p.L2T 18]

Play Magazine

The challenge can be steep. Running and gunning without taking cover and finding calculated ways of clearing a path is death. [Mar 2004, p.52]

Electronic Gaming Monthly

It's been a while since I played a game with such engaging, pure, and thrilling action, and on top of the excellent single-player game, there's a pretty cool co-op mode to nicely round out the package. [Apr 2004, p.114]

Computer Games Magazine

The best bond game since "Goldeneye." [June 2004, p.11]

WHAM! Gaming

The system works rather well, although it has its quirks. For example, Bond has to be looking toward an enemy for the system to recognize the bad guy.

G4 TV

With the lack of an online death match mode, playing cooperative missions via EA Online (only in the PlayStation 2 version) turns out to be the jewel in EoN's crown. For gamers and Bond fans, this is infinitely superior to nothing.

GMR Magazine

The cohesion between 007's on-foot mission and driving excursions further adds to the cinematic feel, which is Everthing or Nothing's strongest trait. [Apr 2004, p.86]

PSM Magazine

Takes all of the classic Bond elements and combines them with solid control, and gameplay variety. Some of the levels are letdowns, but overall, it's a satisfying title. [Apr 2004, p.29]

Computer and Video Games

The kind of game where you'll be on the phone for your mates to come round and see the next amazing scene. It's all very linear, but sometimes you have to realise this is a good thing.

Games Radar UK (Pre-2006)

Everything or Nothing is dripping with Bondiness. It's accessible and youngster-friendly. Unfortunately it's a little bit more like the popcorn than the movie. [PSM2]

Game Revolution

High production values, exciting vehicle sequences and the cool Bond Moments outweigh the tedious shooting bits and subpar stealth modes, leading to a solid use of the license.

Gamer.tv

Fun in the short-term and has ambition, but there's not enough innovation to get excited about, or warrant re-playing what is a lengthy franchise title.

Thunderbolt

This isn't the definitive Bond experience and you sure as hell won't be grabbed by the story, but for those times when you feel like taking on the world in style, this is it.

Eurogamer

Everything or Nothing represents progress, and proves that the abysmal "Nightfire" was a genuine blip rather than a sign of things to come, but the more discerning gamer will still come away nonplussed.

Edge Magazine

It's perhaps because the title benefits from such a high production spend, in fact, that the average design and execution becomes more pronounced. [Mar 2004]

games(TM)

With just as many levels where you'll pray for it to be over than where you're actually having fun, the game turns out to be a mixture of styles that don't meld together as solidly as they should, as well as having several frustrating joypad-throwing moments and often demanding extraordinary feats of memory from the player.
