Multiplayer might be fun

I didn't try the multiplayer so not commenting on it. I did however do the regular game and well raw is an apt term.
The map design isn't very good, and is at the same time. I say it's bad because it's straight line, you go from point A to point B with little deviation. It is good in the simple fact that there are places to hide at, few and far between but they are there.
Graphically, well let's just say that the main bad guys have a resemblance to how they looked in the movies. Everything else is more or less whatever they could find. Grainy is a common problem with the background. Not terribly detailed and generally just there as a placeholder for later development.
On the plus side, the game doesn't slow down. At least it hadn't at any point when I was playing it. Control wise, it serves, barely. The control is sloppy and jerky. I do mean that literally, you can go from looking to your left to looking behind by trying to look right.
The basic controls are fine, trigger where you expect. The rest of the game however, looks like placeholder for later development. Perhaps the multiplayer looks better, but judging by the comments I've found, they are the same and just as bleh.
Single player has no play value, it's only there to let you unlock characters, I assume for multiplayer. Single player is not something you will want to play unless you wish to unlock said characters.
Based on the gameplay of singleplayer, I don't think multiplayer will be any good. Opinions vary and who knows maybe the controls work well in multiplayer. They don't in single player. Overall this game isn't worth renting. Might be fun for a week if all you want to do is shoot at other people saying Bond, James Bond.

Daniel Craig is 5 Bonds in 1

Legends is like playing 5 different Bond movies, but Daniel Craig is 007 in all of them. It goes through Goldfinger, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Moonraker, License to Kill, and Die Another Day.
So if you're a fan of the James Bond movies like me, 007 is a pretty decent FPS with good campaigns, offline 1P modes, and online multiplayer.
The campaigns are actually pretty fun and keep true roots to the original movies which I liked. There is obvious suttle changes to make video games better, but they don't ruin the experience. There is good variety, and lots of challenges, upgrades, and perks.
Each mission has differenct challenges and collectibles. You can earn xp through completing those, using various guns, collecting secret data, etc. The graphics are outdated, and the sound of the guns is horribly bland. It feels old, but it managed to keep my interests for a few days.
The other offline mode has about 10 maps where you have various objectives, like a Spec Ops mode. You may have to defeat waves of enemies, protect a bomb, or control/defend various points. You can earn stars, and customize all types of modes like difficulty, enemy power and health, and more. More points is more stars.
Online mode is pretty fun too. It's old school shooting fun, but it's a little sketchy at times bc of poor graphics and hit detection. There are lots of game modes and lots of upgrading and stat building.
Legends is a good overall game with variety, much deeper than I thought it would be. But it's not for the person looking for a state of the art FPS by no means. This is more of a throwback to honor the 007 legacy. It's a solid rental I would recommend if you are a fan of James Bond and FPS games in general.
