Amazon.co.uk Review
If you've played EA's previous James Bond game on PlayStation,
Tomorrow Never Dies, you probably won't be looking forward to
The World Is Not Enough. However, although it could most accurately be described as
GoldenEye-lite,
The World Is Not Enough (TWINE) offers a much more satisfying experience than the previous effort both graphically and gameplay-wise.
As you might expect you play the part of 007, and the action is viewed from a first-person perspective. As each levels begins you are given a set of objectives by M and these have to be completed before you can proceed.
These tasks mainly involve shooting as many bad guys as possible with a variety of satisfyingly chunky weaponry, but there are also skiing, driving, gambling (one of the most fun) and stealth levels. With the latter utilising some neat gadgetry provided by John Cleese's R (the only actor from the film actually voicing his character in the game).
The game follows the plot of the film very closely, with 10 levels being linked by extensive movie footage. An experienced gamer will not have too many problems finishing TWINE in a few hours, and the extensive violence makes this game unsuitable for younger players, but most James Bond fans will find much to entertain them in this diverting romp. --Michael Bartley
Product Description
The World is Not Enough is the highly anticipated sequel to the Nintendo 64's hugely popular first-person shooter,

There are three difficulty settings, each one making the bad guys tougher while adding mission objectives. And, playing to Bond's particularly glamorous skills, there is a forced-scrolling skiing-and-shooting level. Get important game info from the good guys you meet, including Q and M.
As with its predecessor, The World is Not Enough's multiplayer mode is sure to be very popular. The game will have at least five multiplayer arenas for two-on-two, two-on-one, and three-on-one teams.
