This is where you come in, Bond. We've already identified the rogue political faction responsible for the theft and tracked them to a secret facility in Egypt's Sahara Desert. Your mission, 007, is to destroy both the hardware and the facility. The fate of the world may very well rest once again on your success.

Bond is back, and like you've never seen him before. "007: Everything or Nothing" abandons the FPS design of its processors for an isometric, third person action game (perfect for the GBA capabilities). Almost Metal Gear-esque in its approach, "007: Everything or Nothing" values stealth over bravado (apparently 007 has been maturing). Don't worry, you'll still get the chance to blow plenty of things up, but in "007: Everything or Nothing", Bond is rewarded for completing objective, and killing on the sly.

While not based on any particular movie, "007: Everything or Nothing" does a great job of making the player feel as though they were dropped into a Bond film. The character animations are incredibly smooth, and the backgrounds are rich in detail. The music in "007: Everything or Nothing" feels as if it is taken straight from the silver screen, and does a great job of building the Bond atmosphere. The sound effects are stellar, the shooting and explosions simply sound awsesome. The sound effects are especially effective when playing "007: Everything or Nothing" on Console Classix and utilizing larger computer speakers (the GBA speakers don't do the sounds justice).

"007: Everything or Nothing" isn't particularly difficult, nor does it require a large amount of time to beat, but that doesn't stop the game from feeling far-reaching and being a blast to play. The only aspect of "007: Everything or Nothing" I found problematic (other than the obtuse title) was its controls. Navigating a third person isometric game with a directional pad can be frustrating, but this is somewhat mitigated by the tight, responsive controls. Any fan of the 007 films will be highly entertained by this entry in the 007 series.

This is where you come in, 007. With some help from Q, and a number of key agents in the field, you must stop Drake in his plans for total world domination.

Do you enjoy martinis, fast cars, and have commitment issues? Does dressing up in a tuxedo make you want to blow things up? If this sounds like you, then you've probably already played "007: Nightfire", but on the off chance you haven't, get ready for a satisfying, if not slightly underwhelming, entry that returns to the FPS style that made the series a hit with gamers everywhere.

Fans of the Bond series will appreciate the fact that the story weaved in "007: Nightfire" is original, while staying true to the Bond universe. Many of the characters will be familiar to Bond fans, there is no shortage of beautiful women for Bond to interact with, and the stage locations are varied and exotic. That's the good news.

Unfortunately, the Game Boy Advance is not the best platform for an FPS game. The graphics are less clear than Wolfenstein 3-D with the graphic settings turned all the way down. The blurriness presents a problem when trying to differentiate between allies and enemies. To the game's credit, I was playing "007: Nightfire" on an enlarged window on my computer monitor (one of the perks of playing on Console Classix), when I minimized the window, the game did not seem as blurry or choppy (it was never meant to be played on such a large screen). The controls can also be frustrating as well, requiring the player to use button combinations to do things such as duck. That's the bad news.

"007: Nightfire's" underwhelming graphics, and frustrating controls should not deter players from giving this game a try. The original score is impressive, and the sound effects are awesome (enemies frequently yell orders at Bond). I was also really impressed with the enemy AI, which adds to the difficulty and results in a challenging game. While I am not a huge James Bond fan, I am a huge fan of first-person shooters, and as such had a lot of fun playing "007: Nightfire", despite its drawbacks.

Oh, about the details, read on. We want you to be prepared for the assault... frogmen, missiles, mines and the like. Not to worry. Good luck, Bond. And Bon Voyage!
