Considering the success Rare’s GoldenEye 007 has had on the Nintendo 64, Electronic Arts designers had their work cut out for them in making another 3-D shooter using the James Bond license. The World Is Not Enough is a smashing success in terms of its graphics and sound, as well as in how it weaves the movie’s plot into the gameplay. Unfortunately, this Bond game has just enough flaws to keep it from achieving classic status.
If you’ve seen the movie on which this is based, the game’s levels will all be familiar. There has been a kidnapping and it’s up to you to scour the globe, rescue the victim, and untangle a twisty plot laced with betrayal. It wouldn’t be a Bond game without heap gadgets to help you by the side of the way, so there’s plenty of stuff to play with, including a multifunction laser/stun gun/grappling hook watch, safecracking equipment, and x-ray glasses. Weapons range from Bond’s signature 9 mm automatic to shotguns, assault rifles, and everything in between.
The game takes full advantage of the N64 Expansion Pak to pump up the graphics, and the game uses speech compression to give all the characters spoken dialogue. This makes the missions far more engaging than they would otherwise be, but brain-dead enemies really spoil the fun. The average Bond movie henchmen don’t exactly have Einstein- caliber IQs, but shooting wave after excruciating wave of soldiers who do small more than blindly rush at you is just tedious. At least most missions throw innocent guards and bystanders into the mix so that even if the enemy isn’t thinking visibly, you still have to be on your toes to prevent civilian casualties. The World Is Not Enough is a solid game that should appeal to fans of the movie, but stick with GoldenEye 007 or Exact Dark if you want to experience a truly excellent 3-D shooter on the N64. –T.

Pros:
- Excellent graphics, and the clear speech is a nice touch
- Tough missions are filled with fun objectives
- The need to protect innocents adds a lot of tension to the game
Cons:
- Don’t even reflect about it if you don’t have an Expansion Pak
- Sports meeting must be saved to a memory card
- Generic opponents don’t grant much of a challenge

The World is not Enough is the most primative first-person shooter game since Wolfenstein. A total degradation from the level of Goldeneye, I was flabbergasted at the inadequacy of the graphics and gameplay of TWINE. Perhaps this is simply the rough draft, but I dread not. Use your cash more wisely and buy either Goldeneye or Exact Dark.

How can anyone compare this game to GoldenEye. My brother bought this game and returned it after 3 days. If you are looking for a better game than GoldenEye, get Exact Dark. I wouldn’t play this game if it were a gift to me. It’s horrible.

…. It doesn’t even hold a candle to Golden Eye or Exact Dark. The graphics are average and he gameplay and movement hark back me of an atari game. The AI took a step back compared to the previous Bond. The interface is horrible. The multi-player vs the AI agents is laughable; the enemys is always right in front of you and it seems they kill with one shot. The missions aren’t clear and to use keycards and other collected items, you have to press start and access the items from the main menu just to open a door. I hope EA made all the cash they thought they would make from throwing together a Bond game. EA should stick to sports.

You would expect a sequel to outshine the original. This is not the case with TWINE, which is unfit to pick up Goldeneye’s spent shell casings. The graphics and game play are a step backward in this otherwise compelling 007 series.

This game has a much better multi player game then Golden Eye and it is much more challenging then Golden Eye.
