Whoop de doo, another Bond title. I imagine you either love 'em or you don't. Personally I don't. The films are so action-packed they're just gagging to be made into games but the result is often a rather boring little driving game or mish-mash of disjointed arcade ideas. This one is a mish-mash of styles but, unlike many of the Bond games, isn't all bad.

Sanchez the drug smuggler is up to no good so it's up to Jimbo to kick his criminal ass. Three 'scenes' are each made up of sub-sections, where a combination of helicopter shoot-outs, running about on foot, and swimming for your life makes the challenge varied and interesting. Gameplay is fast, the graphics neat, and there's a distinctly arcade feel about the whole thing. At a budget price it could be hot to trot [Like you? - Ed].

Yawn, James Bond, licence to keel over. Actually this isn't as snoozeworthy as the rest of the Bond titles so if you (a) like 007 and (b) can't choose which budget game to buy this month, give it a go.
