Description
007: The World is Not Enough is a James Bond game based on the movie of the same name.
When British oil tycoon and M's friend Sir Robert King is killed in a bombing at the MI6 headquarters, it becomes James Bond's new assignment to protect his daughter and heir Elektra from further harm. Renard, a man who can't feel physical pain due to a bullet in his head, seems to play an important role in the sabotage of the ongoing construction of the new King pipeline, which can give oil to all the world for the future. The three competing pipelines all end up in Istanbul, whereas the King pipeline is being laid elsewhere, and therefore is an easy goal to anonymous attackers. James Bond involuntarily teams up with emancipated Dr. Christmas Jones, and they soon find out that there is more threat to the situation than just some pipeline sabotage.

Goldeneye it is a first-person shooter with controls and multiplayer options designed with console facilities in mind. It features 10 levels and three difficulty levels. The levels and dialogue are all taken directly from the movie. It also features clips and other items from the movie. However, the game has been almost completely revamped from the original
Goldeneye.
The new system throws out the free-form game play and adheres to a much more linear "cinematic" style of play. All of the sound and graphics have been completely upgraded, looking completely different than
Goldeneye, but also allowing the use of authentic voice overs. The game expands upon use of gadgets (lasers, grapple hooks, darts) by incorporating them into a new weapon and item system.
The game includes a four-player multiplayer mode, this time with the ability to play with bots. Some levels are taken from single-player mode, while others are exclusive to multiplayer. There are new games modes such as king-the-hill, capture the flag, and bases which have been added since the last game. Like the last game, cheats can be unlocked through fast play speeds, but now also unlock new multiplayer maps and modes as well as traditional cheats.
