From Russia with love was a game that I had been eagerly anticipating for a long time but found myself being quite disappointed by it.
Many things appealed to me when I first bought the game, especially the fact that Sean Connery was providing the voice of James bond. The excitement however soon left when I first heard him speak, he sounded old and like the dragon that he voices in 'dragon heart'. I was constantly thinking to myself, 'surely EA can find someone who can provide a better voice of Sean Connery than Sean Connery did!'
I found the plot exciting but found that some of the levels were a bit too long without enough save points.
I enjoyed the hand-to-hand combat and the array of weapons available. But one of the large disappointments is that the control that you have over your car is limited. One small touch of the thumb stick and your car has swerved at a 90 degree angle straight into a wall.
I would recommend renting this game before you buy it as I feel there are a lot of good points that will encourage you to buy this game, but a lot more bad points and you can also find yourself getting bored quite quickly.
I recommend that you buy this game only when the price has dropped to below £9.99
