Super spy that he may be, Bond isn't invulnerable, and enemy fire takes you down quickly should you offer yourself as a target. The bulk of Blood Stone plays out as a third-person shooter, with an emphasis on stealth and cover over straight-up firefights. Everything else is solidly average, resulting in a game that is passable but far from memorable. Unfortunately, the story is the high point of Blood Stone. When the game is playing one of the many cut scenes, it would be easy to mistake it as a sequence from an unreleased film. With high-caliber voice acting from the likes of Daniel Craig as Bond, Dame Judi Dench as M and Joss Stone as the new Bond girl, Nicole Hunter, and a solid script, Blood Stone isn't shy of plot. After a suitably explosive introduction, the main plot line kicks in, and it involves possibly traitorous scientists, biological weapons of mass destruction, beautiful women, fast cars and more henchmen than you can shake a stick at. James Bond 007: Blood Stone tells a story that is typically Bond. While the recent remake of Goldeneye for the Wii was a success, the next-gen outing for Bond isn't quite as rousing. For all of Bond's natural appeal, though, games featuring the character have run the gamut from good to bad to merely average. He's cool under pressure, suave with the ladies, knows how to fight and has all the really cool toys. James Bond is a character who would seem to be a natural for video games.
