(Available on Xbox, Gamecube, PS2 and GBA)

JAMES Bond is back with his latest assignment in 007 Everything or Nothing.

Unlike the previous two titles, 007 Nightfire and 007 Agent Under Fire, Everything or Nothing goes into third person view, and although this takes a while to get used to, it makes the gameplay unfamiliar, but eventually rewarding.

The plot plays out an exotic journey across four continents.

Locations range from Egypt's Valley of the Kings to Moscow's Red Square, to New Orleans' French quarter, as players meet up with new villains and a few returning enemies from Bond's legendary past.

The new third person view offers additional control options.

You will be able to engage in hand-to-hand combat and use a variety of environmental objects such as bottles, chairs and tables to knock out your enemy.

You are also equipped with gadgets, a large selection of explosive firepower, and also have the added extra of being able to disguise yourself and hide in the shadows.

The new graphic engine allows you to use a range of vehicles, such as motorcycles, cars, tanks and even helicopters.

This freedom makes the game very enjoyable and allows you to get a lot more involved in the plot line.
