Bond Fans Will Appreciate It, Others Will Hate It

I am a HUGE James Bond fan. So, obviously, when I heard a game was coming that remade classic bond movies, I completely geeked out. When I bought it, it actually met my expectations, but technically it leaves much to be desired.
The game starts off with a scene from "Skyfall" where James bond is fighting Patrice on the top of the train, when he is accidently shot by Eve, and falls off the train. Then, while he is drowning underwater, you get to relive some of his past missions through flashbacks. The missions are: (in order) Goldfinger, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, License To Kill, Die Another Day (Seriously?), and Moonraker. While each mission in the game brought back a lot of nostalgia, especially Moonraker, I do have some problems with the overall game.
First off, this game stars Daniel Craig as bond. Sort of. He isn't actually voiced by Daniel Craig, but rather Timothy Watson, and made to look and sound like Daniel Craig. That concept is a little weird. Gameplay wise, It was fairly solid, although on the whole it felt way too much like call of duty. Other people are saying it's a call of duty clone, but I don't think so. I mean, it's hard to think "Man, this sure feels like call of duty" when you are having laser battles in space or knocking out guards with tranquilizer darts shot from a pen, but it certainly has similarities. Although, it should be noted that only the all-out action sequences feel like call of duty; the stealth sequences actually feel a lot more like splinter cell. The graphics are good, not great. particularly any jungle environments looked really terrible. Multiplayer is functional, but nothing special. It's basically call of duty but james bond themed.
In summary, This game is great for any James Bond fan, and the gameplay is okay, but overall, it feels really unpolished, jumbled, unfinished and unoriginal.
