I've personally always considered Nightfire and Everything or Nothing as ACTUALLY part of the cannon Pierce Brosnan series along with his movies because theyre so amazing.
Have you ever considered covering games that were originally meant to be James Bond titles, but the publishers couldn't get the rights to it. Quite a few arcade games were meant to be 007 games.
Connery had two conditions to go back and provide Bond's voice for EA: 1) He got paid $1m 2) He got to pick the film to remake He chose FRWL. EA execs were a little flummoxed during the first few meetings we had. It would have been a totally different game with another Bond had it not worked out with Connery. But that's another story.
It’s a good thing he didn’t pick Never Say Never Again! In all seriousness, it would be interesting to hear that “another story” - if it’s allowed to be told.
Calvin I think there’s a mistake, James Bond: World of Espionage, the 2015 mobile game was not your number 1. This is outrageous. I mean the gameplay is revolutionary, the characters are so in-depth they feel ripped straight out of a Bond movie, and the story is so gripping Eon are bound to use it for a film. It is clearly the best Bond game of all time 😂
@@MovieGuy1998 It was one of those mobile games that's basically just a slideshow of images and is focused on leveling up, like "Mafia City." I haven't played one but they look really bad.
My proudest gaming achievement is beating The World Is Not Enough for N64 on 00 Agent with a old N64 controller. It was painful but I beat it! Great video Calvin!
@@Thatguy55595 Yikes, that sounds aggravating as hell haha. Four years ago I played GoldenEye on the N64 and I was shocked at how difficult it was. I hadn't played it in such a long time so I was just awful at it and I've spent the last 20 years using controllers for modern systems. It was still fun but FPSs have gotten so much better that it's just not as good as I remember. I haven't played The World Is Not Enough in literally 20 years so maybe that'll be better to revisit. I definitely remember liking that game more than GoldenEye.
Don't know if you've played the *007 Gameboy RPG* yet, Calvin. But it sounds like it very well could've ended on as no. 11 or even no. 10 on this list! That game is very interesting for being one of the _only two_ 007 games that were licensed by Nintendo back in the day, before EA got the license. (Ninty's other being Goldeneye the year prior.) The game's genre not mainly being a shooter is also interesting, and unique from what the 007 license later developed into. The whole mainly-not-a-shooter thing also reminds me of that rumored TellTale "non mass murder" Bond adventure that never materialized. Maybe the IOI's Project 007 will finally fill that espionage itch - fertile ground for the 007 games to explore.
I haven’t played it through in full yet but I’ve certainly sampled it and yeah it does seem like a very different thing to the usual shooter/adventure format which is really interesting! Surprised I didn’t have it as a kid really as my GAMEBOY was my favourite thing!
I personally consider Goldeneye and Bloodstone as canon to Craig's tenure, they also provided the "just Bond on a mission" vibe his run lacked. Intetested to hear what your take on these being canon is.
Defo 'non-canon' [much like Brosnan's games]. Canon is for movie's only as far as I'm concerned [especially as even the games adapting movies make several changes such as Paris being alive in Tomorrow Never Dies' game].
@@jamesatkinsonja I'm not talking about games that adapt movies though. Obviously the movie takes prescendant (except goldeneye wii where there is no craig movie equivalent story).
@@ssjduelistDD Fair enough. While I wouldn't include them [especially as Craig's is an over arching story] I can see how if you include them Bond going from still being a rookie in Quantum to a veteran in Skyfall makes more sense.
I would also include the GoldenEye remake and Blood Stone in my own personal Craig canon, since it's his likeness and voice, assuming nothing in them contradicts the later films (and I can't remember off the top if anything does).
Ahhh man, in 2001 I defected from the N64 to the PS2 and my attitude back then towards all the new Bond games by EA was " ewwwwww that looks crap, Its not like Goldeneye 64 or TWINE. I'm not buying them, I'm gona play on GTA 3 and Vice city because I'm cooool" but when I started collecting old games 10 years ago, I got the those games by EA and they brought a complete smile to my face because I actually felt like I'm playing James Bond with all the gadgets, locations, the missions and driving all the cars :) Well done on the 50 K man! what I love about your channel is its not just doing top 10 lists or just reviews of the bond movies, you talk about other things related to the bond series weather that the other actors movies, other spy movies, mysterys or theorys in Bond movies and most importantly, its all about having an honest conversation/ discussion with your audience and address both the good things and bad things rather than trying so hard to be funny like other Winey UA-cam reviewers. heres to another 10 years of Bond talk man :) !!!!!!
Thanks so much for this Dafydd! Very kind words and very much appreciated! I do love having the opportunity to talk about things that are Bond connected or adjacent. I’m very eclectic when it comes to movie tastes and it’s amazing how many can truly be connected with Bond and spies in general! Anywya, thanks very much and happy you enjoyed the video 😁😁
Excellent video Calvin! Here's my personal ranking of the Bond games I have played: 1. Nightfire, for all the reasons you gave 2. Agent Under Fire, features some of the best vehicle levels ever 3. Goldeneye (N64), a true classic with infinitely replayable multiplayer 4. Everything or Nothing, had trouble adjusting to the controls but is nonetheless an excellent game 5. The World is Not Enough (N64), almost as fun as Goldeneye with some well needed improvements 6. Goldeneye (Wii), mostly nostalgia but had a fun story and multiplayer 7. James Bond (Gameboy), pretty good potential as a Link's Awakening clone but needed some additional polish 8. The World is Not Enough (PS), controls are somewhat clunky and not as good as the N64 version 9. 007 Racing, once again clunky controls 10. Goldeneye Rouge Agent, just fails at being fun
We've been waiting for this, Calvin! My all-time favourite will forever be Everything or Nothing, so many good memories on the Gamecube. What puts it over Nightfire and Agent under Fire is Z-targetting. While I was overjoyed when they announced FRWL it did feel so uch clunkier than EON and eventually was more of a disappointment. Btw: there is a PC version of Nightfire, which is horrible, being robbed of all the driving levels. Just thought you could have mentioned that one.
I’d love to play the PC version of Nightfire some day! Sadly it’s just a bit of an effort to try and get it working on my Mac and I’m certainly not the most brilliant of computer whizzes to figure out a work around… Anyway, thanks very much and I’m glad you liked the video! 😁😁
@@calvindyson You didn't miss a thing. NF on PC has just one upside over the console version, which would be mouse aiming instead of Joystick aiming. Oh, how I would have loved Z-targetting in AUF and NF like in EON and FRWL. With Joystick-aiming I have never been able to complete these games.
If I could make a very LIMITED defense of the PC Nightfire version, I do enjoy that some areas of the world get just a little more expansion. The final space setting gets more than just the zero gravity boss fight, and you get to explore parts of the space station with a jump pack. I also feel like Drake's Castle party looks a little more like a place that people would want to gather in the PC version. My last little defense would be that the Q-Glasses work a bit more nicely in the PC. I never found any use for them in the console, but the PC benefits from a few half-baked stealth missions where they come in handy. Still, the lack of driving levels r-e-a-l-l-y sucks. I would agree that the console version is the FAR superior one, but I always wished there could've been a marriage of the better elements of both into one vision.
20:17 - *_"Diamond_*_ mines."_ -Forgivable mistake is forgivable.- The mental image I just conjured up of Diavolo conquering Red Square with an armada of shiny white, see-through diamond tanks almost makes me wish that's what the story actually went with.
James Bond 007 on the Game Boy is an unjustly forgotten title. It's a bit like The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, but with an original plot mashed together from Bond films of the 60s and 70s. It plays pretty well, too.
I consider Craig’s video games to be canon because in Skyfall M says that he is a ‘old dog’ but his Bond in the films has only done 2 missions, so adding his videogames, asides from 007 legends of course, it makes M’s words make more sense adding Goldeneye and Blood Stone to his ‘resume’
007 NIGHTFIRE must be at Top #1 because I know that it is certainly Calvin's most favorite video game in his whole young career as a UA-cam subscriber. He totally loves this game! It should also have a bronze medal for world's most best Bond game in history. I heard recently in one of Calvin's other video game discussion videos that NIGHTFIRE ranked into almost 8 million sales.
If you are starved of a lack of new 007 games, I would recommend checking out the Windows PC game, "No One Lives Forever". It's a first person shooter from the early 2000's with heavy influences from James Bond, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Mission Impossible, and Austin Powers.
@@calvindyson There's also the Goldeneye 64 modding community if you want an experience that feels like official Bond games. I know some of the members have gone as far as recreating Goldfinger and Tomorrow Never Dies entirely using the Goldeneye engine and assets and are currently working on a re-creation of The Spy Who Loved Me. The coolest part is that they've sold these creations on official N64 cartridges that you can actually play on an N64 console, otherwise they're all entirely free online if you're knowledgeable in emulating and ROM hacks.
My oldest brother owned "Nightfire" on the Gamecube and I absolutely loved the game back when I was a teenager. The only Bond games I've played were Nightfire and Goldeneye: Rogue Agent. I liked the latter, but "Nightfire" was so much better in gameplay, story, multiplayer, characters and the gadgets, I've played the campaign mode several times and the multiplayer mode has ton of replay value. Even my 2nd oldest and youngest brother loved the game. I'm glad that you liked "Nightfire" as much I did, Calvin. Great video as always 👌🏾
My ranking of the ones I’ve played goes like this, from best to worst: • Nightfire • GoldenEye N64 (only takes #2 because I feel it hasn’t aged as well as Nightfire, but it’s still a great one to pick up and play. Plus it has DK mode. If that remaster we’ve heard rumours about gets released and takes the creaky edges off the N64 version, well I might have to amend this list…) • GoldenEye Wii (I admit the reason it’s this high is mostly from nostalgia - it’s the thing that got me into Bond, and I have lots of fun memories of the multiplayer with friends. If I was being more objective it’d probably be a few spots lower cause it really is a bit too COD-derivative) • Agent Under Fire • TWINE N64 • Everything or Nothing • From Russia With Love • GoldenEye DS • James Bond 007 (GB) • GoldenEye Rogue Agent DS (takes the higher spot over the console version cause the levels feel less of a slog in the DS version, even if the console version is the better crafted game from a technical standpoint) • GoldenEye Rogue Agent • 007 Legends (only finished the Goldfinger level, didn’t have it in me to go any further)
HOW VERY DARE YOU! Goldeneye Rogue Agent was awesome, if you forgive the stupid premise, name butchering and how you get blamed for 007's Death at the beginning of the Game...
Nearly 10 years, since his first Bond game review and he has finally done a top 10 on them. I remember watching that Agent Under Fire review when it was first released, simply because I played that game as a child and waned to see what other people thought about it. And I've been watch Calvin Dyson ever since pretty much.
Great video, Calvin. I think Nightfire would also be my #1 for all the reasons you mentioned. I come back to the multiplayer again and again. The Skyrail map alone is sheer perfection.
I'd argue that From Russia with Love is a significant step down from Everything or Nothing. EoN required far more strategy and quick thinking and there was a lot more variety, where FRWL just had you running like Rambo through everything with constant armour and ammo drops killing the need for any improvisation or gadget use.
My first and only 007 game I ever played won! Man do I recognize everything is shown, we used to snort its multiplayer! The story as well is just so wonderful I was so keen on to see a movie adaptation of it!
Here’s a fun little fact. Activision made the really stupid fcking decision to release Blood stone and goldeneye reloaded on the same day. Practically killing any chance of blood stone having any success
I personally agree with your comments on Goldeneye 64. It's good, it's very important, and it's fun, but as a Bond fan myself, there are other games that I personally feel are better emulations of a Bond adventure. Also, I too only keep my Xbox 360 so I have the option to play the Craig Bond games.
Try to the original game boy James bond. A good action adventure spy mystery with multiple classic bond characters and villains that will have you wonder how they did all that on the game boy.
What a great video. I honestly can say my top games are the same as yours. Nightfire will always hold a special place in my heart. I do have to say FRWL did have some great split screen play. I spent a lot of time with friends playing the split screen.
Nightfire is honestly god tier, such an amazing game. The intro through to the end of the first level is honestly up there with the finest moments in gaming for me
Everything or Nothing was always the GOAT original story for me. The cast was nuts for a video game that wasn't even tied into a film! So many cool gadgets as well like controlling the nano spider, driving all sorts of things like tanks, the motorbikes over the rooftops and through villas, the helicopters and cars. Just so many facets that make it stand out.
I have loads of nostalgia for the 2000's Bond Games. Nightfire, Agent Under Fire & EON in particular are games that I fondly look back on. I love Goldeneye N64 but it hasn't aged well really (And tbh if I want an N64 FPS fix I go for Perfect Dark). Nightfire has always been my top personally. Great story, level design, music & characters. Everything is just stellar with that game
For me it’s Everything or Nothing. Partially because The controls are similar to Splinter Cell. Either way it was cool having an original James Bond story in game form each year from 2001 until 2004. Made my GameCube worth it.
0:33 Placing 007 Legends in a category that isn't 'bad' technically qualifies as a complement, which is the closest it's likely to get to anything actually positive being said about it
PSA: The online servers for Goldeneye Reloaded, Quantum of Solace, and Bloodstone, were shut down during 2020 (another victim of that year). So, keep that in mind if any of you are considering checking out those games today.
Nope, Quantum of Solace still up on Xbox 360 in 2022. PS3 went down in 2020 yes, and PC has been down since GFWL got discontinued, but some of us organise lobbies on XB360 every now and then
Your videos just make me happy lol. And there's something especially nostalgic about these game reviews, we're about the same age so I have a strong amount of attachment to these games as well!
Best third person bond game is Everything or Nothing. Best first person bond game is Goldeneye N64. I enjoyed most 007 games but I’ll go to the grave as those being the absolute best #1’s.
Coming from your generation and having played Agent Under Fire, Nightfire and Everything or Nothing growing up. I could not agree more to this top 3! The only other one I played is Bloodstone, so admittedly I played a lot less. But, man those Top 3 ones really helped in getting me even more invested into the franchise in the early 2000's !
Calvin, another game like a James Bond game you should play/mention is _Sniper Elite IV: Italia_ ; it even has the main character use a Walther PPK if you are able to pick one up. You've also got to play _Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction_ using the Jennifer Mui character (she's a former special forces gal who was also in MI6, and acts as covertly as a 00 agent would.)
Mine: 1) Goldeneye 2) Everything or Nothing 3) Nightfire 4) The World Is Not Enough (N64) 5) From Russia With Love (I could do a top ten, but I honestly don't care for any of the remaining games.)
It's a shame about 007 Legends. Purely as a concept, it was a fantastic idea. And one i was really excited to play. But i've learnt my lesson from some previous Bond games. And i waited a few weeks to check the reviews. I think i made the right decision in not getting it. I didn't hate Goldeneye Rogue Agent either, but it was disappointing enough for me to reevaluate my hype for all future Bond video games. Just like Legends, it had a concept i really really loved. But failed in it's execution.
Goldeneye 64 Still king of FPS games. All these years later I still meet up with my cousins to duke it out on Complex or Facility, and it's being introduced to the next generation. But they are no match for us!
Great to see Agent Under Fire so high. A absolute blast of a time for what it is, only problem is that it is very short. I see you used the Forbidden depths ost aswell which is a great track.
I can’t wait for the new project 007 game, the Hitman games are some of my favourite games of all time and could easily be a bond game with a few tweaks. I’m certain that project 007 will be the best bond game
I played the PC version of Nightfire, but it was missing fun elements from other platform versions, such as the driving sequences. My personal favorite Bond game.
I’ll always have Nightfire as a special place in my heart because I remember going over my friends house when we were kids I’m playing the multiply with all of them, I always choose jaws, good times
i spent hours and hours on playing the James Bond: Nighfire. The game is just a Banger, i remember playing it with my brother and sometimes even my parents would help me to complete a Mission. I played all that back in like 2013, 2014 and i think 2015 aswell. I had a Playstation 2 and i didn't have a memory card so i had to play over and over again. Not going to lie it was fun i still do have some fun playing it to this very date but my Playstation 2. Cd was damaged so i play it on the Psx2 emulator with a ps4 controller. That game was my top #1 Game on Playstation 2 back in early 2013, 2014 and 2015. And not to mention the Multiplayer i remember playing that with my brother all day. I guess i'm lucky that my father bought me a Playstation 2 and James Bond: Nighfire. Thank you Playstation and James Bond: Nightfire for making my childhood a million times better.
I remember I played quantum of solace on the wii. I do know it's a lesser port but the game was decent for what it's worth and given the lack of the hype as opposed to the goldeneye reloaded it was much more satisfying than the reloaded.
Bit of News: Ana De Armas has been confirmed as the lead for the John Wick spin off 'Ballerina' which will film this summer. I guess this will be the closest fans are going to get to a 'Paloma' spin off/return.
Goldeneye 64 is one of my faves but I can fully understand why you put it on 6th place, From Russia With Love was a great idea for a game back in the 2000’s and it would have been amazing to have an adaptation of The Spy Who Loved Me or Licence to Kill! Nightfire is also a great game and captures Pierce’s era in a wonderful way with a touch of Connery and Moore! Loved this video Calvin!
Nice timing, as I got my first Bond game yesterday (from Russia with Love on PS2), after your video went back to the store and got Everything or Nothing too.
Was there ever an actual Die Another Day game adaptation round the time of the film's release? Aside from characters appearing in 007 Legends a decade later that is. Seems to be the only Brosnan Bond film I haven't seen adapted into a video game. There was GoldenEye N64 2 years after the film's release, Tomorrow Never Dies PS1 also 2 years after the film and The World is Not Enough N64 & PS1 a year after the film. Followed by a Game Boy Color release the year after that. But I don't recall seeing any game releases for Die Another Day.
I checked on Wikipedia, they never made one. I suspect that since they released Nightfire at the same time as Die Another Day, Eon figured there was no point making a game for it with for it. Closest they ever came was making Everything Or Nothing be a sequel.
I spent so many hours, day after day, playing multiplayer with bots in Nightfire by myself, that it has now become a sort of bittersweet memory of my school days.
Wow nearly pooped myself at the end there! Was only half watching as you went from number 2 to 1 and thought the best was 007 Legends! Great vid overall!
Loved the PS2 games, they were great. Only got From Russia with love last year😁. Everything or Nothing is probably my favorite. Out of the later ones, bloodstone is fantastic, and GoldenEye on Wii is well made. I have nearly completed a collection of James Bond video games for the consoles I own, (which are many). But should try to pick TWINE on N64. I have it on PS1. Great vid as always. I want to play through these games again.
Controversial but I would love to see a studio try the 007 Racing formula again, but actually with racing. Think Forza Motorsport or Need for Speed and have gadget laden Bond cars to make races even more interesting. You'd probably have to nerf certain types of gadgets and maybe even create some new ones to make it fit into the race-style elements but I think it would be a really interesting concept! Add online and/or local multiplayer and it'd be amazing!
I’d definitely play that if somebody made it. I’m kinda surprised nobody has already. With local multiplayer, everyone driving a gadget-laden car, sounds like it could rival Mario Kart for 4P racing fun.
Ok here is my top ten 10. James Bond 007 for the game boy (I honestly can’t wait till you do a review of this one it’s hard but a lot of fun) 9. James Bond The Duel: (really hope you do a review of this one too) it’s the only Timothy Dalton Bond game with an original story it’s more fun then it has any right to be 8. Goldeneye N64: honestly not my favorite on the n64 it’s a fun game but not the best one 7. Quantum of Solace 360: I replayed this game more often then any other and I wish there was a card game in it 6. From Russia With love: I loved this game but I felt it was a bit too gadgety honestly 5. The world is not enough PS1 I finally played this one recently when I got a working emulator and my god this was fun 4. Goldeneye Reloaded: I wish there was third person cover but other than that the game was super fun 3. The world is not enough n64: really a fun game that had a lot of great side missions 2. Night fire: I love the game but really after the snow level the game sadly is never as fun as that opening mission 1. Bloodstone: I am in the minority I know but I just love Craig’s bond and I love playing the dark Smokey levels like Russia or the casino level had this game has a card mini game it would be perfect Over all I have high hopes for Project 007 Also if I get my new job I will gladly be a Patreon so I can get reviews of James Bond the duel James Bond 007 for the game boy and of course quantum of solace for the PS2 which I think you will love
I remember really loving James Bond 007 on the Game Boy. Played a bit like Zelda. Been many years since I've played it so it could be nostalgia talking!
I think the reason goldeneye is so well loved isn't because it's the best, it's the best when relative to it's time. It's a game that made FPS a console genre as well as PC. It was one of the biggest games of it's time and none of the bond games have managed to do that since, while there have been many good bond games, they never reached the top 5 sellers for their years.
I had Blood Stone 007 on the Nintendo DS as a kid and I adored it. Recently, I found it on Xbox 360 and played it on there and I loved it even more. Feel so much like the first two Daniel Craig Bond movies!
Wow perfect timing! I've literally just started playing thru old Bond games after deep diving into the wonderful wellspring of emulators and roms. Goldeneye is hard on a DS4
Nightfire was and still is the greatest James Bond game I’ve ever played! I remember back in early 2003 while Die Another Day was still in theaters, I remember when my late brother got me Nightfire for the PS2 and I would play the pre credits mission over and over and over again. I would later get another version of in for GameCube which I still have, the PC version to wish I never got to play that version. later in 2017 for the Xbox for my Xbox 360 console and last Christmas of 2021 for the PS2 again for my PS2 slim. I even remember beating the game first whist No Time To Die was originally going to be released in about 8 weeks at that time. At the start of 2022, I would beat the game again for the PS2. And indeed, I love Nightfire to this day.
I've personally always considered Nightfire and Everything or Nothing as ACTUALLY part of the cannon Pierce Brosnan series along with his movies because theyre so amazing.
Same here nightfire and everything or nothing is what I see as Brosnans send off rather then die another day
@@staticclutch9932 Nightcore a better version of the shit awful movie Moonraker
Everything or Nothing is a fantastic name for a Bond movie
I kind of see the games as part of there own canon separate from the films [EA Games Canon, Activision Canon etc].
Never played Nightfire. But Everything or Nothing is absolutely amazing
To me 'Everything or Nothing' was the best by far. Felt like a Bond film.
Same, that game was perfect and have a coop secondary short campaing whit other agents.
Agree.
The campaign? Sure.
The multi-player? Nightfire doesn't just take the cake, it takes the whole damn bakery

Gosh. Hard to believe that Nightfire is 20 years old now.. 😳 I remember getting that game when it came out.

Connery had two conditions to go back and provide Bond's voice for EA:
1) He got paid $1m
2) He got to pick the film to remake
He chose FRWL. EA execs were a little flummoxed during the first few meetings we had.
It would have been a totally different game with another Bond had it not worked out with Connery. But that's another story.
It’s a good thing he didn’t pick Never Say Never Again!

Ahhh man, in 2001 I defected from the N64 to the PS2 and my attitude back then towards all the new Bond games by EA was " ewwwwww that looks crap, Its not like Goldeneye 64 or TWINE. I'm not buying them, I'm gona play on GTA 3 and Vice city because I'm cooool"
but when I started collecting old games 10 years ago, I got the those games by EA and they brought a complete smile to my face because I actually felt like I'm playing James Bond with all the gadgets, locations, the missions and driving all the cars :)
Well done on the 50 K man! what I love about your channel is its not just doing top 10 lists or just reviews of the bond movies, you talk about other things related to the bond series weather that the other actors movies, other spy movies, mysterys or theorys in Bond movies and most importantly, its all about having an honest conversation/ discussion with your audience and address both the good things and bad things rather than trying so hard to be funny like other Winey UA-cam reviewers.
heres to another 10 years of Bond talk man :) !!!!!!
Thanks so much for this Dafydd! Very kind words and very much appreciated! I do love having the opportunity to talk about things that are Bond connected or adjacent. I’m very eclectic when it comes to movie tastes and it’s amazing how many can truly be connected with Bond and spies in general! Anywya, thanks very much and happy you enjoyed the video 😁😁
@@calvindyson Fantastic to hear :). keep it up!!
Excellent video Calvin!
Here's my personal ranking of the Bond games I have played:
1. Nightfire, for all the reasons you gave
2. Agent Under Fire, features some of the best vehicle levels ever
3. Goldeneye (N64), a true classic with infinitely replayable multiplayer
4. Everything or Nothing, had trouble adjusting to the controls but is nonetheless an excellent game
5. The World is Not Enough (N64), almost as fun as Goldeneye with some well needed improvements
6. Goldeneye (Wii), mostly nostalgia but had a fun story and multiplayer
7. James Bond (Gameboy), pretty good potential as a Link's Awakening clone but needed some additional polish
8. The World is Not Enough (PS), controls are somewhat clunky and not as good as the N64 version
9. 007 Racing, once again clunky controls
10. Goldeneye Rouge Agent, just fails at being fun
James bond ( game boy) and 007 racing ( No way) in the top 10, but not 007 Blood Stone? ok boomer
I haven't played Blood Stone, so I couldn't include it. Looks good though.@@MatheusCastro10
The greatest thing about Nightfire's multiplayer is screwing eachother over with the Sentinel's guided missiles.
And the Ronin!
Goldeneye N64 Loyalists at 22:10: “STOPPPPP ITTTTTT!!!”
-Snipers from Chain Reaction… probably.
We've been waiting for this, Calvin!
My all-time favourite will forever be Everything or Nothing, so many good memories on the Gamecube. What puts it over Nightfire and Agent under Fire is Z-targetting.
While I was overjoyed when they announced FRWL it did feel so uch clunkier than EON and eventually was more of a disappointment.
Btw: there is a PC version of Nightfire, which is horrible, being robbed of all the driving levels. Just thought you could have mentioned that one.
I’d love to play the PC version of Nightfire some day! Sadly it’s just a bit of an effort to try and get it working on my Mac and I’m certainly not the most brilliant of computer whizzes to figure out a work around… Anyway, thanks very much and I’m glad you liked the video! 😁😁
@@calvindyson You didn't miss a thing. NF on PC has just one upside over the console version, which would be mouse aiming instead of Joystick aiming. Oh, how I would have loved Z-targetting in AUF and NF like in EON and FRWL. With Joystick-aiming I have never been able to complete these games.
@@k.b.7718 that's good because I use a controller on pc anyway lol
If I could make a very LIMITED defense of the PC Nightfire version, I do enjoy that some areas of the world get just a little more expansion. The final space setting gets more than just the zero gravity boss fight, and you get to explore parts of the space station with a jump pack. I also feel like Drake's Castle party looks a little more like a place that people would want to gather in the PC version. My last little defense would be that the Q-Glasses work a bit more nicely in the PC. I never found any use for them in the console, but the PC benefits from a few half-baked stealth missions where they come in handy. Still, the lack of driving levels r-e-a-l-l-y sucks.
I would agree that the console version is the FAR superior one, but I always wished there could've been a marriage of the better elements of both into one vision.
EON Is my favourite game as well.
20:17 - *_"Diamond_*_ mines."_ -Forgivable mistake is forgivable.-
The mental image I just conjured up of Diavolo conquering Red Square with an armada of shiny white, see-through diamond tanks almost makes me wish that's what the story actually went with.
D’oh! Yes you’re quite right, the diamond association with Bond is clearly too strong in my mind 😂 good spot!
James Bond 007 on the Game Boy is an unjustly forgotten title. It's a bit like The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, but with an original plot mashed together from Bond films of the 60s and 70s. It plays pretty well, too.
100% agree, I was really surprised it didn't make the list.
the only saving grace is the music but it's totally forgettable
I consider Craig’s video games to be canon because in Skyfall M says that he is a ‘old dog’ but his Bond in the films has only done 2 missions, so adding his videogames, asides from 007 legends of course, it makes M’s words make more sense adding Goldeneye and Blood Stone to his ‘resume’
That skyrail music will forever be burned into my brain from too many hours played of Nightfire multiplayer
007 NIGHTFIRE must be at Top #1 because I know that it is certainly Calvin's most favorite video game in his whole young career as a UA-cam subscriber. He totally loves this game! It should also have a bronze medal for world's most best Bond game in history.
I heard recently in one of Calvin's other video game discussion videos that NIGHTFIRE ranked into almost 8 million sales.
If you are starved of a lack of new 007 games, I would recommend checking out the Windows PC game, "No One Lives Forever". It's a first person shooter from the early 2000's with heavy influences from James Bond, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Mission Impossible, and Austin Powers.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEES its excellent :)
Thanks for this! I’ll definitely check it out!
I remember seeing that game in Woolworth [showing my age here!] but I never got around to playing it sadly.
@@calvindyson There's also the Goldeneye 64 modding community if you want an experience that feels like official Bond games. I know some of the members have gone as far as recreating Goldfinger and Tomorrow Never Dies entirely using the Goldeneye engine and assets and are currently working on a re-creation of The Spy Who Loved Me. The coolest part is that they've sold these creations on official N64 cartridges that you can actually play on an N64 console, otherwise they're all entirely free online if you're knowledgeable in emulating and ROM hacks.
Even the soundtrack is amazing. And a great sense of humor. Who wants to buy a monkey?
Everything or Nothing was made like a proper Bond film. I personally consider it to be one, and Brosnan's actual final role as James Bond
My oldest brother owned "Nightfire" on the Gamecube and I absolutely loved the game back when I was a teenager. The only Bond games I've played were Nightfire and Goldeneye: Rogue Agent. I liked the latter, but "Nightfire" was so much better in gameplay, story, multiplayer, characters and the gadgets, I've played the campaign mode several times and the multiplayer mode has ton of replay value. Even my 2nd oldest and youngest brother loved the game.
I'm glad that you liked "Nightfire" as much I did, Calvin. Great video as always 👌🏾
I truly love that you will never stop giving Broccoli shit over that “science fact” line
My ranking of the ones I’ve played goes like this, from best to worst:
• Nightfire
• GoldenEye N64 (only takes #2 because I feel it hasn’t aged as well as Nightfire, but it’s still a great one to pick up and play. Plus it has DK mode. If that remaster we’ve heard rumours about gets released and takes the creaky edges off the N64 version, well I might have to amend this list…)
• GoldenEye Wii (I admit the reason it’s this high is mostly from nostalgia - it’s the thing that got me into Bond, and I have lots of fun memories of the multiplayer with friends. If I was being more objective it’d probably be a few spots lower cause it really is a bit too COD-derivative)
• Agent Under Fire
• TWINE N64
• Everything or Nothing
• From Russia With Love
• GoldenEye DS
• James Bond 007 (GB)
• GoldenEye Rogue Agent DS (takes the higher spot over the console version cause the levels feel less of a slog in the DS version, even if the console version is the better crafted game from a technical standpoint)
• GoldenEye Rogue Agent
• 007 Legends (only finished the Goldfinger level, didn’t have it in me to go any further)
HOW VERY DARE YOU! Goldeneye Rogue Agent was awesome, if you forgive the stupid premise, name butchering and how you get blamed for 007's Death at the beginning of the Game...
*007:Legends* is like having the laser actually cut through your crotch.
Nightfire is also my favorite bond game too! Great choices for your list agent Dyson, see you later in the debrief of your next assignment.
Nearly 10 years, since his first Bond game review and he has finally done a top 10 on them. I remember watching that Agent Under Fire review when it was first released, simply because I played that game as a child and waned to see what other people thought about it. And I've been watch Calvin Dyson ever since pretty much.
Great to see you talk about some of these games again and great to see your enthusiasm.
The money I would pay for any kind of nightfire remaster or remake
Great video, Calvin. I think Nightfire would also be my #1 for all the reasons you mentioned. I come back to the multiplayer again and again. The Skyrail map alone is sheer perfection.
Great list! Nightfire is really the perfect Bond game.
I'd argue that From Russia with Love is a significant step down from Everything or Nothing. EoN required far more strategy and quick thinking and there was a lot more variety, where FRWL just had you running like Rambo through everything with constant armour and ammo drops killing the need for any improvisation or gadget use.
I love 007 racing. I even have the "Collector's" edition
My first and only 007 game I ever played won! Man do I recognize everything is shown, we used to snort its multiplayer! The story as well is just so wonderful I was so keen on to see a movie adaptation of it!
Here’s a fun little fact. Activision made the really stupid fcking decision to release Blood stone and goldeneye reloaded on the same day. Practically killing any chance of blood stone having any success
Goldeneye's not number one? Here come the Bond police. ;)
Great video, Calvin. You've perked my interest in a few games I haven't played yet.
Yes! The list we’ve all been waiting for woo hoo😁 let’s go 90’s bond fans!
Haha I feel like every Brosnan fan is also a huge fan of the 90s/00s era Bond games
Nightfire was probably my fav, right ahead of Goldeneye. So many memories of multiplayer matches with these two!
I loved that game but I distinctly remember that for a while I couldn't for the life of me get past the second mission haha.
I personally agree with your comments on Goldeneye 64. It's good, it's very important, and it's fun, but as a Bond fan myself, there are other games that I personally feel are better emulations of a Bond adventure. Also, I too only keep my Xbox 360 so I have the option to play the Craig Bond games.
Yo, been waiting for this. Sick stuff bro
Calvin: At Number 6 it's GoldenEye for the N64
Bond fans: Choose your next witticism carefully, Calvin, it may be your last.
Try to the original game boy James bond. A good action adventure spy mystery with multiple classic bond characters and villains that will have you wonder how they did all that on the game boy.
What a great video. I honestly can say my top games are the same as yours. Nightfire will always hold a special place in my heart. I do have to say FRWL did have some great split screen play. I spent a lot of time with friends playing the split screen.
Find yourself a partner who talks about you the way Calvin talks about Nightfire! :D
I always wanted to see a Bond game ranking video or list video like this. Amazing video!
Nightfire is honestly god tier, such an amazing game. The intro through to the end of the first level is honestly up there with the finest moments in gaming for me
Everything or Nothing was always the GOAT original story for me. The cast was nuts for a video game that wasn't even tied into a film! So many cool gadgets as well like controlling the nano spider, driving all sorts of things like tanks, the motorbikes over the rooftops and through villas, the helicopters and cars. Just so many facets that make it stand out.
I have loads of nostalgia for the 2000's Bond Games. Nightfire, Agent Under Fire & EON in particular are games that I fondly look back on. I love Goldeneye N64 but it hasn't aged well really (And tbh if I want an N64 FPS fix I go for Perfect Dark). Nightfire has always been my top personally. Great story, level design, music & characters. Everything is just stellar with that game
For me it’s Everything or Nothing. Partially because The controls are similar to Splinter Cell. Either way it was cool having an original James Bond story in game form each year from 2001 until 2004. Made my GameCube worth it.
I know it doesn't really count, but Stuntman on PS2 has a great Bond homage. Live Twice For Tomorrow featuring "Simon Crown".
"Don't love me quietly... do it with intensity."
10:39 "Natalya: I'm coming, James!."
0:33 Placing 007 Legends in a category that isn't 'bad' technically qualifies as a complement, which is the closest it's likely to get to anything actually positive being said about it
Great to finally see a professional Bond fan make a Top 10 James Bond games video ;)
Excellent number 1 choice. Multiplayer and levels are all too notch. Well done and excellent video as always.
PSA: The online servers for Goldeneye Reloaded, Quantum of Solace, and Bloodstone, were shut down during 2020 (another victim of that year). So, keep that in mind if any of you are considering checking out those games today.
Goldeneye Reloaded has offline multiplayer.
Nope, Quantum of Solace still up on Xbox 360 in 2022. PS3 went down in 2020 yes, and PC has been down since GFWL got discontinued, but some of us organise lobbies on XB360 every now and then
Thank you From Russia with love video game is awesome and really underated
Great list sir! 007 games are one of the big reasons why I still go back to my GameCube and Xbox 360 all the time.
Your videos just make me happy lol. And there's something especially nostalgic about these game reviews, we're about the same age so I have a strong amount of attachment to these games as well!
Best third person bond game is Everything or Nothing. Best first person bond game is Goldeneye N64. I enjoyed most 007 games but I’ll go to the grave as those being the absolute best #1’s.
Coming from your generation and having played Agent Under Fire, Nightfire and Everything or Nothing growing up. I could not agree more to this top 3! The only other one I played is Bloodstone, so admittedly I played a lot less. But, man those Top 3 ones really helped in getting me even more invested into the franchise in the early 2000's !
OCTOPussy!!!!! ;)
Awesome video 😁😁
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it 😁😁
Calvin, another game like a James Bond game you should play/mention is _Sniper Elite IV: Italia_ ; it even has the main character use a Walther PPK if you are able to pick one up.
You've also got to play _Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction_ using the Jennifer Mui character (she's a former special forces gal who was also in MI6, and acts as covertly as a 00 agent would.)
3:00 7:45 Quantum of Solace and Blood Stone came out on PC as well
I get extra excited when you post a bond video game video I am so excited
Mine:
1) Goldeneye
2) Everything or Nothing
3) Nightfire
4) The World Is Not Enough (N64)
5) From Russia With Love
(I could do a top ten, but I honestly don't care for any of the remaining games.)
It's a shame about 007 Legends. Purely as a concept, it was a fantastic idea. And one i was really excited to play. But i've learnt my lesson from some previous Bond games. And i waited a few weeks to check the reviews. I think i made the right decision in not getting it. I didn't hate Goldeneye Rogue Agent either, but it was disappointing enough for me to reevaluate my hype for all future Bond video games. Just like Legends, it had a concept i really really loved. But failed in it's execution.
Great video, I love the way you compared it with how authentic a bond experience should be
Goldeneye 64
Still king of FPS games. All these years later I still meet up with my cousins to duke it out on Complex or Facility, and it's being introduced to the next generation. But they are no match for us!
Great to see Agent Under Fire so high. A absolute blast of a time for what it is, only problem is that it is very short. I see you used the Forbidden depths ost aswell which is a great track.
I can’t wait for the new project 007 game, the Hitman games are some of my favourite games of all time and could easily be a bond game with a few tweaks. I’m certain that project 007 will be the best bond game
Same. I'm watching that game like a damn hawk lol. I seriously cannot wait for it.
I played the PC version of Nightfire, but it was missing fun elements from other platform versions, such as the driving sequences. My personal favorite Bond game.
I’ll always have Nightfire as a special place in my heart because I remember going over my friends house when we were kids I’m playing the multiply with all of them, I always choose jaws, good times
i spent hours and hours on playing the James Bond: Nighfire. The game is just a Banger, i remember playing it with my brother and sometimes even my parents would help me to complete a Mission. I played all that back in like 2013, 2014 and i think 2015 aswell. I had a Playstation 2 and i didn't have a memory card so i had to play over and over again. Not going to lie it was fun i still do have some fun playing it to this very date but my Playstation 2. Cd was damaged so i play it on the Psx2 emulator with a ps4 controller. That game was my top #1 Game on Playstation 2 back in early 2013, 2014 and 2015. And not to mention the Multiplayer i remember playing that with my brother all day. I guess i'm lucky that my father bought me a Playstation 2 and James Bond: Nighfire. Thank you Playstation and James Bond: Nightfire for making my childhood a million times better.
20 years already since Nightfire?!? Good grief, time sure flies!
I remember I played quantum of solace on the wii. I do know it's a lesser port but the game was decent for what it's worth and given the lack of the hype as opposed to the goldeneye reloaded it was much more satisfying than the reloaded.
Nightfire WAS the best 007 game. So much re-playability value. I just wish the last level had a little bit more to it.
I forgot Shannon Elizabeth was in EON!!! I need all of these games back. I miss my gamecube.
Bit of News: Ana De Armas has been confirmed as the lead for the John Wick spin off 'Ballerina' which will film this summer. I guess this will be the closest fans are going to get to a 'Paloma' spin off/return.
Goldeneye 64 is one of my faves but I can fully understand why you put it on 6th place, From Russia With Love was a great idea for a game back in the 2000’s and it would have been amazing to have an adaptation of The Spy Who Loved Me or Licence to Kill! Nightfire is also a great game and captures Pierce’s era in a wonderful way with a touch of Connery and Moore! Loved this video Calvin!
Nice timing, as I got my first Bond game yesterday (from Russia with Love on PS2), after your video went back to the store and got Everything or Nothing too.
Excellent decision.
Wait, the Lotus Esprit in Agent Under Fire here 16:44?
It's an unlockable Bonus in the Game.
@@nekusakura6748 Didnt know. Thank you!
Was there ever an actual Die Another Day game adaptation round the time of the film's release? Aside from characters appearing in 007 Legends a decade later that is. Seems to be the only Brosnan Bond film I haven't seen adapted into a video game. There was GoldenEye N64 2 years after the film's release, Tomorrow Never Dies PS1 also 2 years after the film and The World is Not Enough N64 & PS1 a year after the film. Followed by a Game Boy Color release the year after that. But I don't recall seeing any game releases for Die Another Day.
I checked on Wikipedia, they never made one. I suspect that since they released Nightfire at the same time as Die Another Day, Eon figured there was no point making a game for it with for it. Closest they ever came was making Everything Or Nothing be a sequel.
@@spencerkindra8822 Ah okay, cool.
Everything or Nothing is one of the most memorable and replayable games ever
I spent so many hours, day after day, playing multiplayer with bots in Nightfire by myself, that it has now become a sort of bittersweet memory of my school days.
The Gameboy game definitely deserves more love - it's surprising good!
Came here to say this! Such an underrated and often overlooked gem.
Wow nearly pooped myself at the end there! Was only half watching as you went from number 2 to 1 and thought the best was 007 Legends! Great vid overall!
Loved the PS2 games, they were great. Only got From Russia with love last year😁. Everything or Nothing is probably my favorite. Out of the later ones, bloodstone is fantastic, and GoldenEye on Wii is well made.
I have nearly completed a collection of James Bond video games for the consoles I own, (which are many). But should try to pick TWINE on N64. I have it on PS1.
Great vid as always. I want to play through these games again.
Controversial but I would love to see a studio try the 007 Racing formula again, but actually with racing. Think Forza Motorsport or Need for Speed and have gadget laden Bond cars to make races even more interesting. You'd probably have to nerf certain types of gadgets and maybe even create some new ones to make it fit into the race-style elements but I think it would be a really interesting concept!
Add online and/or local multiplayer and it'd be amazing!
I’d definitely play that if somebody made it. I’m kinda surprised nobody has already. With local multiplayer, everyone driving a gadget-laden car, sounds like it could rival Mario Kart for 4P racing fun.
Ok here is my top ten
10. James Bond 007 for the game boy (I honestly can’t wait till you do a review of this one it’s hard but a lot of fun)
9. James Bond The Duel: (really hope you do a review of this one too) it’s the only Timothy Dalton Bond game with an original story it’s more fun then it has any right to be
8. Goldeneye N64: honestly not my favorite on the n64 it’s a fun game but not the best one
7. Quantum of Solace 360: I replayed this game more often then any other and I wish there was a card game in it
6. From Russia With love: I loved this game but I felt it was a bit too gadgety honestly
5. The world is not enough PS1 I finally played this one recently when I got a working emulator and my god this was fun
4. Goldeneye Reloaded: I wish there was third person cover but other than that the game was super fun
3. The world is not enough n64: really a fun game that had a lot of great side missions
2. Night fire: I love the game but really after the snow level the game sadly is never as fun as that opening mission
1. Bloodstone: I am in the minority I know but I just love Craig’s bond and I love playing the dark Smokey levels like Russia or the casino level had this game has a card mini game it would be perfect
Over all I have high hopes for Project 007
Also if I get my new job I will gladly be a Patreon so I can get reviews of James Bond the duel James Bond 007 for the game boy and of course quantum of solace for the PS2 which I think you will love
ummmmm Calvin, you forgot about James Bond JR on the Super Nintendo!!!!!!!!! :)
I remember really loving James Bond 007 on the Game Boy. Played a bit like Zelda. Been many years since I've played it so it could be nostalgia talking!
I think the reason goldeneye is so well loved isn't because it's the best, it's the best when relative to it's time. It's a game that made FPS a console genre as well as PC. It was one of the biggest games of it's time and none of the bond games have managed to do that since, while there have been many good bond games, they never reached the top 5 sellers for their years.
Nightfire, everything or nothing, and goldeneye (64)
Low key, Bloodstone is kinda underrated
I had Blood Stone 007 on the Nintendo DS as a kid and I adored it. Recently, I found it on Xbox 360 and played it on there and I loved it even more. Feel so much like the first two Daniel Craig Bond movies!
Wow perfect timing! I've literally just started playing thru old Bond games after deep diving into the wonderful wellspring of emulators and roms. Goldeneye is hard on a DS4
I guess I'm truly alone in actually liking GoldenEye: Rogue Agent lol 😂
Nightfire was and still is the greatest James Bond game I’ve ever played! I remember back in early 2003 while Die Another Day was still in theaters, I remember when my late brother got me Nightfire for the PS2 and I would play the pre credits mission over and over and over again. I would later get another version of in for GameCube which I still have, the PC version to wish I never got to play that version. later in 2017 for the Xbox for my Xbox 360 console and last Christmas of 2021 for the PS2 again for my PS2 slim. I even remember beating the game first whist No Time To Die was originally going to be released in about 8 weeks at that time. At the start of 2022, I would beat the game again for the PS2. And indeed, I love Nightfire to this day.
Everything or Nothing is amazing I love Bloodstone too
My favorite is Goldeneye Rouge Agent mate
"James Bond 007: The Stealth Affair" for the PC was my first favorite.
