You can, as many gamers would call such an attack, get quick cheap kills for every melee kill performed. And, almost unbelievably, the insta-kill function is available in multiplayer. Games like Blood Stone often come with multiplayer tacked on because publishers practically require it on all games these days, but with Blood Stone that silly fun returns with a vengeance. The multiplayer aspect is almost a moot point. It’s difficult, but this and many other segments can be completed using only stealth, and not firing a bullet Some of us just want to be a preposterously skilled secret agent killing everything in his path, and the campaign fulfills that role wonderfully.
GAMEPLAY 007 BLOOD STONE PC GAME MOVIE
Some of us just want to go see a movie with big explosions and scantily clad women. But after a hard day’s work, some of us just want to watch sports. Many of today’s games make you think, make you work hard. Six to seven hours of brainless entertainment is surprisingly worthwhile. Sadly, the racing gameplay is not even close to Bizarre’s Project Gotham Racing’s style. There are even a few levels with racing involved, driving some ridiculous cars through traffic on windy roads and dirt horse paths.

Finally, a special feature nearly identical to Splinter Cell: Conviction’s mark and execute function gives players insta-kills for each melee takedown. And thanks to 007’s weapon of choice being a silenced pistol, stealth gameplay can go on for a long time and add a ton of light suspense to gameplay. It’s no Splinter Cell, but even these stealth levels are pretty entertaining. Several levels are stealth based up to a point, which ends as soon as you’re found and then we see the real Daniel Craig Bond come out and play. Vehicle levels are fun, but driving in a snowstorm, on ice, in an Aston Martin? Not so much There’s nothing wrong with stupid fun, it’s still fun! Blood Stone throws different quick shootouts one after the next, each different from the next, and they don’t get tiresome. Blood Stone is between you and a ton of AI that needs a molten shot of hot lead and heavy fists. It doesn’t really matter, because that’s all secondary. There are only a handful of characters, Bond uncharacteristically lets the girl go, and there are no emotional connections to make or fun scenarios to laugh at. It does piece together why nearly every level takes place in a completely different environment, and makes for some high-tech looking cinematic loading screens, but there are no characters for players to connect to. In fact, it’s best to leave the story out of the game when playing. It’s meant to be stupid fun, and developer Bizarre Creations has done a great job at making it.īond travels all across the globe, from Shanghai to frozen Russia to sweltering Africa Even on the Agent (hard) difficulty setting, Blood Stone is not a difficult game, nor is it meant to be. As that plot unravels, Bong finds greater opposition, but gamers need not fret. Instead, it’s a straight-faced, fast-paced first person shooter that pits players as Bond flying about the world trying to solve some nonsensical terror plot.


Indeed, singer Joss Stone sings the introductory 007 song and contributes to the voice acting, and the plot follows a similarly convoluted plot like Quantum of Solace.īut this tale is not like older films, nor like the direct book adaptations. Blood Stone is its own story and game, only taking the likeness and voices of Daniel Craig and Judi Dench as Bond and M from the films. Bond’s latest adventure comes in a year without a feature film, and side-by-side to the re-release of GoldenEye on the Wii.
