Craig Of Duty. I like it, very apt.

I will be buying 007L at some point (i'm a completeist), but with the likes of AC3 and Far Cry 3 coming soon as well as some games allready out but I have yet to pick up like Mass Effect 3 (wait a sec, is there a pattern emerging), I can wait until 007L drops down to £20. Which should not be long.

Man cod ripoffs is all activision does. The crap about Criag being the only Bond and thats why every game has to use his image they blew that out of the water with a anniversary Bond they admit there are other Bonds, not using Lazenbys and moores image is a crime we know they hate Brosnan enough to cut his throat on GE which made history as a game, they redo it as half assed game instead of a proper update.

I would of bought it if they had used the proper Bond for the proper movies or let the player pick the Bond of their choice and if its like the other Bond games the price will be down before black friday. Last time the QOS launch party was almost empty and the game sank right away it was in the discounted before long.

There was a actor Activision hired to be bond for bloodstone when the game was released the actor was not mentioned again.

Getting all the past Bonds might be too expensive for Activsion. With that in mind, I would have rather Activision made a new game based around a generic Bond (like AUF), than have Craig crammed into LTK.

I think the From Russia With Love game could possibly be a collectors item someday, since it has Connery's likeness and voice talent, something you'll probably never see in another Bond game again. I remember the original GoldenEye selling on the store shelves for years, while Activision's Craig Of Duty games are instant bargain bin fodder not long after they've been released. I think Perfect Dark is one of the most popular downloadable games on Xbox Live, and it's a 12 year-old Nintendo 64 game. They really don't make shooter games like they used to.

I've always wanted a Bond where you could play as all the different Bond actors, and this was the perfect opportunity for it. But between EON refusing to allow the likenesses of the other Bonds other than Craig, and Activision treating Bond as just another Call Of Duty cash-in, it was a golden opportunity that was shamefully missed. I was considering buying 007 Legends when it went down in price, but I'm not going to bother. Why spend the money on something I'll probably just play through once and then toss on the shelf? I rather use the money on a Wii points card to download some of the classic games that I'll actually enjoy and play over and over. Like I mentioned before, I've recently been playing the old Mega Man and Mega Man X games, and with so many other classic downloadable games or new retail games I'm interested in, there's no point in buying 007 Legends, because like Quantum Of Solace and the new GoldenEye, it will get played through once and tossed on the shelf. I think the only decent thing that came out of buying the new GoldenEye on the Wii, was that it came with a special edition gold Classic Controller Pro, which I use to play some of my classic downloadable games with.

Terrible and bland just like the game. Honestly, the way Activision treats James Bond like a cheap movie licensed game, it's baffling as to why they even bothered to spend the crazy amounts of money they did to obtain the rights for the Bond games.

I was really looking forward to this game until I saw the trailer and saw call of duty in it :(, that's not James bond, I hate cod and what it's doing to games today.

Not sure if anyone shares the same notion but imagine a bond game with a heavy rain style influence, crossed with thee choices from the walking dead games, add in stealth elements as well ie should you kill that person, bring that person, add branching paths and you'd have a brilliant bond game and add some detective parts if you have to look for clues and have the odd casino level where you drink a martini.

Hell have bond himself train you how to be bond (like the ghostbusters game in a sense when they mentored you).

There was a time when most of the Bond games would sell in the millions, but thanks to Activision, the Bond games have been reduced to cheap movie licensed garbage that people avoid.

It's COD Bond. I think aside from the COD cloning its using old Bond stories, and not using the proper Bond with them bothers me I don't see using Moore's movie with out Moore makes sense, it's not like Skyfall fans know why Moore's story is Iconic and what the nods are.

For the crazy amount of money that Activision spent on getting the rights to the Bond games, they're really not making the most out of it. It's almost like they just simply wanted the satisfaction of beating EA at the biding war. And making games based on classic Bond adventures without using the proper Bond is totally wrong. I don't care what Eon says, there was five other actors to play Bond before Craig came in, and they should rightfully be acknowledged. As I've mentioned before, EA was planning to make a Moonraker game with Roger Moore's likeness and voice talent, but it didn't happen, because Activision wins the rights and just happens to make a Bond game with a Moonraker-based mission featuring Craig as Bond. Since Roger Moore is one of my favourite Bonds, it was quite upsetting. And the same thing goes for the new GoldenEye and the other classic Bond adventures that Activision throws Craig in. It's a slap in the face to the former Bond actors and their fans.

It's time for another company to get the rights to the Bond games, one that actually cares and puts quality, time, and effort into them.
