Critic Reviews

85 GameZone
If you aren't shaken, but stirred by competitive role-playing action in a console game, The World Is Not Enough may be right up your mission alley.
83 PSX Nation
A worthy game for first person shooter fans and joins Alien Resurrection in that second tier of FPS's worth considering.
75 Game Revolution
It's got action, adventure and excitement, though the lack of AI is a letdown.
75 Happy Puppy
Even though TWINE is no "GoldenEye," it's still a fun and well-made game in its own right. It's sort of the way I feel about Pierce Brosnan...he'll never replace Sean Connery in my heart, but he still plays a pretty good Bond.
69 IGN
It's not remotely as good as the Nintendo 64 version, but it's certainly a major improvement over last year's shank-fest. (And it's not even remotely close to "Goldeneye.")
67 GameSpot
The artificial intelligence of TWINE's enemies is both shaken and stirred.
52 Da Gameboyz
It's fun for a while, but the problems with the game become a hassle and the game's lack of length and diversity cause it to lose a lot of the entertainment value it should have.
50 CNET Gamecenter
Crippled by graphical glitches, poor control, and incompetent AI, TWINE feels more like a wannabe "GoldenEye" than something that can stand on its own merits. It's not that it's a horribly bad game; it's just not a very good game.
50 Gaming Age
The technology is behind the curve, the control is too sensitive and cumbersome, but the variation in gameplay saves the title from the ever-increasing abyss of forgetful games based on movies.
50 Daily Radar
Prolonged exposure to this latest Bond adventure reveals that TWINE is, despite the gorgeous visuals and top-notch presentation, at heart a relatively shallow experience -- decent, but not quite good enough.
50 Hot Games
If the game was a bit longer, or if even each mission took longer to complete than the 5-10 minutes generally required, maybe we could give the game a higher score - shoddy visuals and all.
