This is it, the Bond game to beat all Bond games, and an absolute must if you like your action fast and furious.

Set over three magnificent scenes, consisting of six distinct levels in all, this is the tale of 007's revenge on the evil drug smuggler, Sanchez.

Sticking closely to the plot of the film, you, as Bond start off in the company of agent Felix Leiter, swooping down over Cray Cay by helicopter, in a dramatic bid to prevent Sanchez from escaping in his jeep with his girlfriend.

Avoiding the skyscrapers, be sure to knock out all the gun emplacements as you go blasting for the jeep.

Next up, Bond is out on his own after Sanchez. Be prepared to take on a veritable army of henchmen hiding in the background.

At all times, keep a close eye on your status panels, to check on your ammunition and time. The aim of this level is to make it back to Leiter in the helicopter, but you'll need all of your wits about you to get there.

Getting back up into the clouds, Sanchez has made a dash for the border in his jet plane. If he makes it to Cuba, it's all over so, using Leiter's expert control of the Chopper, you must lower yourself down on a rope and attach it to the fleeing plane. Watch out for the clouds and be quick. Time is running out and this is no picnic.

Bond's next mission takes him underwater, after a drugs drop is interrupted. Armed only with a knife, you must keep the henchmen at bay until the drop plane arrives.

If you manage to survive that lot, you're doing very well, indeed. Next, sling your hook and harpoon the drop plane, for some thrilling barefoot water-skiing, after you've destroyed the drug caches, of course.

Take control of the seaplane and you're onto the final mission: stopping Sanchez' convoy of trucks before they hit the border.

Take out each tanker in turn, taking care to avoid the vicious Stinger missiles, before finishing off Sanchez for good.

What can you say? Truly rip-roaring action, masterfully put together to produce nailbiting tension from the word go. Viewing each scene from above, some of the graphics are excellent, and you certainly won't encounter a dull moment in your hunt for the bad guy.

For fast and frantic action, Licence To Kill is hard to beat and, if that's what you're after, get out and buy it now.
