007 Legends

About 007 Legends

007 Legends is a first-person shooter game in which the player controls James Bond in levels based on the films Die Another Day, Goldfinger, Licence to Kill, Moonraker, and On Her Majesty's Secret Service. The gameplay largely consists of firefights against groups of enemies across multiple locations, which several critics compared to the gameplay of the Call of Duty franchise. While in combat, the player can use iron sights, crouch behind cover, and vault over objects. Throughout the game, there are occasional sections in which the player will need to sneak past enemies. During these stealth sections, the player can knock out unsuspecting enemies or kill them with a silenced gun. The player also has access to gadgets to make the stealth sections easier, such as a wristwatch with radar to detect enemy movement, and tranquilizer darts to subdue enemies from long distance.

Whenever the player completes in-game challenges, such as kill a certain amount of enemies with one gun, they earn experience points. These can be used to purchase weapon upgrades and character improvements such as increased health and aiming speed. In addition to gunfights, there are also melee fights against bosses and driving sections. The melee fights feature quick time events, in which the player can punch by pressing the corresponding button when prompted. In the driving sections, the player escapes from pursuing enemies while dodging projectiles like rockets.

007 Legends features shorter single-player levels called MI6-Ops. These levels revolve around specific challenges, such as stealthily infiltrating a compound without alerting the target, or defending an objective against waves of enemies. If the level is completed, the player is given a score based on the difficulty option selected and the amount of time it took to complete the level. The score for MI6-Ops levels are ranked on online leaderboard against other players. 007 Legends also features multiplayer, which can be played either online with 12 players or split screen with four players. There are several multiplayer game modes such as killing other players with the golden gun from The Man with the Golden Gun, or racing to collect data from a downed plane. The player can equip gadgets to enhance their abilities in multiplayer, such as a gadget called the Fast Switch, which reduces the time it takes to switch weapons.

The game begins with the opening chase sequence in Skyfall, in which MI6 agent James Bond (likeness of Daniel Craig, voice of Timothy Watson) pursues the mercenary Patrice in Istanbul, only to be accidentally shot and wounded aboard a train by his partner Eve Moneypenny (Naomie Harris). Plunging into the river below, Bond begins to flash back to several of his previous missions that took place in-between Quantum of Solace and Skyfall. However, with the release of Spectre, the game has been rendered as non-canon.

In Miami, Bond awakens in a hotel room to find Jill Masterson dead from skin suffocation, coated in gold paint. Days later in Switzerland, Bond infiltrates the facility of Auric Goldfinger (Timothy Watson, likeness of Gert Fröbe), the man responsible for Masterson's death. He discovers Goldfinger's plan to irradiate the United States Gold Depository at Fort Knox, Kentucky in Operation Grand Slam. Bond manages to convince Goldfinger's personal pilot, Pussy Galore (likeness of Honor Blackman, voice of Natasha Little), to inform the CIA, and he and the United States Army manage to thwart Goldfinger's scheme in the nick of time.

In the Swiss Alps, Bond and his lover Contessa Teresa "Tracy" di Vicenzo (likeness of Diana Rigg, voice of Nicola Walker), daughter of Italian Unione Corse boss Marc-Ange Draco, escape via skis after an attack by soldiers of Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Glenn Wrage), a terrorist mastermind residing in his mountaintop lair, Piz Gloria. Bond is injured by a helicopter gunship during the gunfire, and Tracy is in turn captured by Blofeld's men. Sometime later, Bond and Draco lead an aerial attack on Piz Gloria in order to rescue Tracy. They succeed. However, on their honeymoon, Bond and Tracy are attacked by Blofeld and the latter is killed.
