Who hasn't always wanted to chase Bond fashion? A special highlight in every Bond film is the car with its gadgets. In 007 Racing you can rush through the streets in a bond car.
007 Racing
With a license to kill, you take to the streets. Eutechnyx developed the game, which was subsequently published by Electronic Arts. In 2000 EA released it for the PlayStation console.
The beginning of the mission
The introduction of the game begins with a film sequence, with suitable background music. Then your first mission starts. Your briefing awaits you at the beginning. With this you will be put into the picture about the details. You can read your mission goals at any time.
The new bond car
In order to be able to fulfill your missions, you need a briefing. In the first level you will learn how to control the car and how to use the weapon. In the race you refill your ammunition. You can find them on the go and pick them up while driving. You will find new missiles, smoke and oil that will make life difficult for your pursuers.
Dangerous missions
you need the items of course. But be careful not to choose the wrong weapon at the wrong time. Used inappropriately, you harm yourself and destroy your car. The nice thing is that the game is in German. Sometimes, for example, you can expect missions under time pressure. If a bomb has been installed in your car, you should quickly collect the necessary chips to put the chew back on hold. In addition, the bomb is connected to the speedometer, for example. If you get too slow or if you stop, it explodes. You can choose different cars in the race. You have to make sure that you eliminate your opponents as quickly as possible. There are a total of 15 missions to complete. The type of missions was based on the films.
Traffic
Remember that you are not alone on the street. Not only do you have oncoming cars, but also pedestrians that you have to avoid. You are not limited to the street, but can also use side streets and junctions to shorten routes. Many missions are tied to a time, which means that you cannot give yourself an infinite amount of time.
The rating
Depending on the success of the mission, you will be evaluated at the end. The rating is given as a percentage. You also have the option of adding yourself to a ranking list. The rating depends on the required duration of the mission. You have the opportunity to be given tips, but only when you have completed the round.
Against each other
You can play against a friend in two-player mode. You have free choice of car. The aim is to destroy the enemy as quickly as possible.
Graphics and sound
The graphics run smoothly without jerking. If you are playing the game on the PS2, there is a vertical strip on the right side of the picture. That can be corrected, however. The music is originally from the Bond films. That creates the right mood in the game. The explosions are graphically excellent. Dust swirls up and birds fly up in fright.
Conclusion
007 Racing is graphically a feast for the eyes. The sound fits, the controls are easy and the level of difficulty increases with each mission. Long-term fun is definitely given. What is a bit annoying in the meantime are some comments over the radio. As an extra, there are built-in movie scenes and the right music that transports you into Bond's agent world. This game is definitely worth a recommendation, not just for Bond fans.
