James Bond 007 -Legends

James Bond 007 Legends has many special features with the Wii U gamepad, this Wii U Shooting game  takes place at the start of Skyfall. Daniel Craig plays Bond, and ends up being accidentally shot by a fellow agent. The bullet wound causes Bond to go into shock and he then finds himself remembering some of the most important missions of his career. Goldfinger, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Moonraker, License to Kill and Die Another Day are the movies of choice, and each feature their own set of missions.

 Each of the playable stories lasts anywhere between sixty to ninety minutes, and usually consists of a mission or two. The incredibly sad part is that each movie is poorly portrayed, and elements have been added that make each story seem like a brainless shooter, instead of a secret mission.

Games like Goldeneye had to have missions extended since the movie counterpart is only about 2 hours, but the added content in 007 Legends serves no purpose.

 In a world where a new shooter seems to be released every week, you would think the whole secret agent aspect would have a larger role like in previous bond titles. Once again, 007 Legends does the complete opposite. There a few parts where Bond will pull out his smart phone to scan something or to solve a puzzle, but these few segments are boring and only offer a mere 10 second distraction.
