EA "007 Racing" (2000)
Racing right into the bargain bin
007 Racing features the voice of John Cleese, now promoted from "R" to "Q." It was developed by Eutechnyx, published by Electronic Arts, and released in 2000 exclusively for the PlayStation console system. This game stars Pierce Brosnan's James Bond -- in likeness but again, not his voice (Adam Blackwood voices James Bond yet again). This game pitted James Bond in his Aston Martin against a high ranking European diplomat and businessman plans to hijack a shipment of NATO weapons and smuggle them to international terrorists inside cars that roll off the assembly line of his automotive plants. Bond's cars include the Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger, the Lotus Esprit from The Spy Who Loved Me and For Your Eyes Only, and the BMW Z8 that briefly appeared in The World is not Enough as well as 7 other automobiles. Each car is equipped with all the usual gadgetry and weapons issued by Q. if you get bored playing alone, you can eliminate your opponent in multiplayer missions where you have to destroy the other car, or a game mode called "Pass the Bomb", where you must pass the bomb to the other car by touching it before you blow up. The game which received mediocre reviews on its release and was plagued by bad graphics and unrealistic physics. IGBN said, "EA hits a giant roadblock with this retread, taking the Bond license straight to the junkyard."
