Critic Reviews

87 Next Level Gaming
If you like “sneaker” type thinking games, I am fairly certain that you would enjoy this game quite a bit.
84 Nintendo Power
Has all of the supercharged elements that you'd expect in a James Bond game, and they're tightly packed into a nine-mission story. [Jan 2004, p.161]
80 IGN
The "camera" is a little too close which makes the whole stealth thing a lot more difficult (and somewhat more clumsy) than it could have been, but it's still incredibly fun and enjoyable as it is.
80 GamePro
Outshines "Splinter Cell" and is one of the best handheld titles out. [Apr 2004, p.86]
80 Cheat Code Central
Blending action, stealth and driving elements, the game offers plenty of variety. Fortunately it's all well balanced.
79 VideoGamesLife
The short life span hurts Everything or Nothing but it would be a crime for this game to be totally ignored.
77 Nintendojo
Lots of variety, interesting bonuses, substantial replay value, GameCube connectivity, and various multiplayer modes make this title a must-have for Bond fans, and your average Game Boy owner looking for a classic, heartwarming action game.
75 GameSpy
Most Bond fans will still prefer dusting off the old N64 for a few rounds of "GoldenEye," which remains the undisputed king of 007 games.
71 GameSpot
A brief yet satisfying action game that faithfully captures the look and feel of a typical James Bond movie.
70 1UP
The only serious black mark on EoN is its length -- you can bulldoze through Bond's story in a few short hours, and the extra difficulty levels will likely not be enough to entice you to try again.
70 Pocket Games
A short game that's fun while it lasts. Fans will appreciate the Brosnan and Dench-inspired character portraits. [Spring 2004, p.42]
70 Worth Playing
If the controls were a bit more comfortable, and the car battle mode wasn't so hard to control, it might have made the game a better experience overall, but still not near the magic of Rare's entry.
70 GameZone
Everything or Nothing may not be Bond’s most shining moment as far as GBA games go, but there is still some fun to be had in this third-person action game.
63 Weekly Famitsu
6 / 7 / 6 / 6 - 25 [Vol 792; 20 Feb 2004]
63 Game Informer
I'm not a big proponent of the isometric view, and marrying it to sloppy stealth-style gameplay only exacerbates the problem. [Feb 2004, p.114]
60 GMR Magazine
This poor man's "Spy Hunter" is the part of Everything or Nothing in which nothing is, in all honesty, preferable. [Jan 2003, p.93]
60 G4 TV
Definitely scores a high Bond quotient, and it's a decent game in its own right. It's short and has a few problems with its driving sections, but it does throw in multiplayer options and a simple blackjack game for good measure.
