In James Bond - 007 Legends a mix of different Bond films comes together in different missions.
James Bond - 007 Legends
The game is divided into several chapters. Each chapter presents itself with long missions based on key scenes from the Bond films. This creates a colorful mission spot pourri from Goldfinger, On Her Majesty's Secret Service or Die Another Day. What is missing is the connection between them. The developers rely on DLC with an open end. Due to the level specification, the action offers a fixed linearity. The campaign is five hours long. Unfortunately, what makes the long game time are long loading times and widely spaced checkpoints.
The level of difficulty
There are three levels of difficulty to choose from. There is a modern and a classic game design. In modern game design, the wounds of Bonds are regularly healed. What falls back on classic game design are the collection of healing packages and armor. The mission design is relatively unimaginative. The missions consist of first-person shooter sections, close combat takedowns and stealth passages. You have the opportunity to unlock information and characters while playing. There is also one or the other driving insert.
Brute force or silent killer?
The choice of approach is yours. Either you take out your opponents with brutal force or with takedown and silencers. This is how you avoid attracting attention. If the incapacitated is discovered, the alarm button is quickly pressed. Unfortunately, you are not allowed to pull aside the lifeless bodies and hide them. Thus, sneaking is of no use.
Into the fist fight
You will not only meet opponents who know how to handle weapons, but also those who like to cause problems with fists. For assistance, a prompt will tell you where to strike. Actually, you can't go wrong with this.
The smartphone
Bond's smartphone Xpheria gives you the opportunity to hack computers. The smartphone scans for fingerprints or even nerve gas. Hacking works with two sync games.
Experience
For every kill you get additional experience points. These are also available for completing missions and a good hit rate. For the points you get weapon, equipment or bond upgrades. The weapons are improved, Bond heals faster and takes more hits than before.
challenges
Bond faces various challenges. Ten of them can be unlocked. In online mode, four players can compete against each other in split-screen mode.
Graphics and sound
The levels are not nicely designed. Few details and a lot of jerks reduce the fun of the game. The characters are varied and unemotional. The faces are depicted lovelessly. The soundtrack is very good, but the German voiceover is not very successful.
Conclusion
This game definitely can't rival Golden Eye. 007 Legends does not stand out from the crowd of Bond games. The game seems unfinished and unkind. The graphics are bad, Eurocam could have given the creep mechanics for free. Unfortunately, you can also forget about the shooter controls and the fist fights. It should be noted about the game that the game designers and time pressure have worked. So keep your hands off the game. This game is not recommended.
