So will you be splashin 40 quid on the last RARE game?
starfox
Nightfire
Medal of honour o.O
Presentation
The best usage of the Bond license to date, from all the gadgets and guns to the many worlds and play styles, FMVs and music -- very well done. Interface is simple, but adequate. 9.0
Graphics
Amazing FPS engine draws beautiful worlds with exquisite detail and effects with no drop in framerate. Driving levels are less impressive. 8.0
Sound
Awesome. Screams Bond all around. Excellent voice work, FMV audio, music and sound effects, all in surround sound. 9.0
Gameplay
As a straight FPS, one of the better ones. Tight controls, smart level design, stealth and action elements, lots of weapons and gadgets. A bit easy. Driving levels less impressive. 8.0
Lasting Appeal
A solid single-player experience goes fast, but the multiplayer mode is strong enough to keep you coming back for more, and there are hidden unlockables to worry about too. 8.0
OVERALL SCORE (not an average) 8.5
Good news if u didnt like the TS2 single player and u dont fancy Die hard... which can be dissapointing to some.
I hear that Starfox's main problem is Starfox - he's a bit out of place in this game and it shows. I think Nintendo deciding to co-devellop the game was a problem because Nintendo would push it one way and Rare would push it another.
I've heard that the main problem is that it's far too easy, despite being big. Perhaps Rare will have worked a bit with the game mechanics before the UK release...
