007 Racing is a sound idea for a game - whatever their faults, Bond movies are usually a safe bet if it's non cerebral spills and thrills you're hankering for.

But since then, most other Bond games have left something to be desired...this one included. Although the name implies it, 007 Racing isn't really a racer. The game plays more like Twisted Metal 2, with missions to accomplish rather than other cars to race. You'll be running all over town collecting weapons and battling it out with baddies. This game can quickly turn into a mosh, pitting armored cars against one another in the name of Her Majesty's Secret Service. ...  Read the complete review
