Just thought soe of you guys might be intresting in some opinions on this game other than the dude earlier that raving about his disgust in the game.
First of all the bad things. For starters the aiming controls are a bit suspect, without auto aim on it's near impossible to shoot people which just sucks, i've tryed fiddling with the sensitivity but it still sucks. with the auto aim on you hardly have to do any adgusting of the aiming crosshair so it's a bit easy really. That's the worse part out of the way.
The graphics are a bit bland in places to be honest, particuarly the first level..oh and speaking of the first level don't let it put you off, it's a bit of a suck balls level but the 2nd level is much more fun. Another bad thing and this is just me being picky is like TWINE on the N64 when you shoot a hostage or do something that doesn't follow the mission and causes you to fail the level ends, now I don't know about you guys but I kinda like just going nuts in the level and shooting the inncoent bystanders occasionally in Goldeneye and Perfect dark. I really can't understand why other developers never let you do this and force the level to finish, stupid fools. Anyway minor niggle.
Now the good points and you'll be suprised to hear that there's quite a few, the speach is great, whether mid mission or in a pitched gun battle Mcalne always has something to say, very much in line with his film character. Also eves dropping on the terrorists conversations with the hostages and other people is rather amusing. One incident where I snuck into the mens toilet and listened to them talk about women was rather amusing, I proceeded to take one hostage and use him as a shield as his stupid mate with his trousers down ran out of the bog and filled him mate with lead. Another cool thing is taking hostages, very cool sneaking up on a terrorist holding a gun to his head and forcing his stupid mates to surrender their guns. The levels are welldone as well, all seem very different to the last, the first level sucks the balls as i've already said but from then on they get much better.
So basically it's a good game, not perfect but by no means rubbish, if you can get used to the controls (you will after a while and they actually come in handy) then I urge you to check it out.

My friends played Die Hard. They said it was okay, but not great. Get Jedi Knight II instead guys.
im thinking of getting Die hard.. but if the new bond game is any good i'll get that instead.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh I'm on the last level and it's driving me insane. I can get up onto the roof and blow up the rocket launchers but then I don't know what to do an tend to fling myself off the building.
Anyone know?

My opinion (the one thats really helpful)
Personally I think this game is excellent. Like many people have said the first level is crap, and it is. But then you get to the second and third levels when you actually act like a cop arresting people and stuff.
The game is impossible without auto aim. The controller sensitivity is so wrong that when you wanna aim at a person it goes like 2 inches past them. And if you are still REALLY sensitive, you have to do it crouching while they shoot at you.
The games excellent.

IMO yup most definetly. It starts out a bit crud so don't let the first level put you off. But beleive me it really is a superb game. There's a few bug in the game that i've noticed and the framerate does occasionally slow down annoyingly, but the good bit far outway the bad bits.
