Nice! Not worth a 10 though...

Let's just make this clear: i am a James Bond fan. Ever since i watched the first 007 movie, i was hooked. With all the guns, secret agent stuff, and beautfiul women, i became obsessed very soon. Sadly, time moved on and i got hooked on other things... I think Activision did a really good job reviving 007 this month. Here's my review:
Gameplay: Just like the last one, but oddly better. With the camera shaking as you run, smart AI and fun challenges, it's safe to say the gameplay of BloodStone rises above everything else.
Storyline: The plot was deep and definitely moved me, i can't give away too many details, but i have to say, a lot of people are going to enjoy it (it beats defeating the Enclave in 2277, Fallout 3)!
Sound/Graphics: This is why i give it a 9, not a 10. While the graphics and sound were great, its nothing really different. If good graphical and sound quality is what you're after, you're better off chasing after Fallout New Vegas and Oblivion (both favorites of mine).
Conclusion: Really cool game, definitely worth your time and patience. If you liked it as much as i did, maybe buy it, but definitely try it out first, 007 isn't for everybody.

Great game, but nothing new

Okay, so after playing the last Bond game and having a blast with it, I rented this game with decent expectations wanting a fun ride filled with explosions, guns, and head shots. That's exactly what Blood Stone is. Despite some not so glamorous character animations, the action is great, but not ground-breaking. Its the same style of gameplay in every shooter, ever. But with its own Bond twist, it makes up for the lack of individuality. Guns are decent and act real, but ammo is very, very plentiful so don't worry about that. Levels are nothing new, move from this point to that point and kill all hostiles kinda thing. All with Daniel Craig's priceless look of "I don't care". The story is decent, but nothing like the other Bond stories. Not bad, its actually interesting. Its better than Quantum of Solace, probably because of Blood Stone's fantastic driving sequences that play out like a real movie, explosions and everything. The acting is okay. The mouth movement isn't perfect, but good enough. But M looks so hideous. Not sure why, just does.
Pros: Great gameplay, fun and addictive. Decent story, nice to have the movie actors in it. Driving sequences are amazing, the highlight of the title. Nice environment graphics and locations. Good difficulty topped off with a great pace and decent checkpoints.
Cons: No memorable baddies, way to much ammo. Same old level design, sub-par character graphics, mouth movement is a bit off. No gadgets.
Don't misread this review, its a blast to play, from the opening Bond sequence, to the explosive driving scenes, its really fun to play. But, I hate buts, there is nothing new whatsoever to this game that sets itself apart from all the other shooters out there. Is it amazing, no. But its a great game to pass the time while you wait for Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. Defiantly worth a rent. I'll probably buy it on-sale sometime in the future. I give it a solid 8.5.
