There’s four difficulty modes – recruit, field operative, agent, and 007 which needs to be unlocked.

Staying in cover is important because if you’re out in the open, you’re basically guaranteed to die.

This focus aim mechanic is the game’s way of encouraging you to engage enemies in hand-to-hand combat and with guns. Activating focus aim basically lets you auto-lock onto targets and kill them instantly and you can chain multiple focus aims together which can be helpful if you’re outnumbered. Performing a takedown grants you a focus aim or focus aim shot. Bond can walk, run, sprint, take cover, vault over obstacles, and perform takedowns. Although, I would primarily call it a shooter. The presentation is phenomenal.īlood Stone is a third-person shooter which combines shooting, stealth, and hand-to-hand combat. The performances are pretty good and the game as a whole has a very movie-like quality. Daniel Craig and Judi Dench reprise their roles as Bond and M respectively and Joss Stone voices Nicole. This is a very cinematic-styled game and you can pause cut scenes which I like. Overall, the story is okay but Blood Stone does a great job at capturing the style of the films. But of course there’s more to the plot and Bond sets out to find out what’s really going on. Bond teams up with a wealthy jewelry designer named Nicole Hunter and together they infiltrate Pomerov’s refinery in an effort to stop him and recover the bio-weapons. In Blood Stone, Bond is put on the trail of Stefan Pomerov, a terrorist who is manufacturing bio-weapons. Once again terrorists are a threat to the world and James Bond is the one who has to stop them. I’ve heard some generally positive things about Blood Stone over the years and I’ve wanted to play it for a while now. Blood Stone was the last game developed by Bizarre Creations before they closed down and it released on the same day as the GoldenEye remake for Wii. Blood Stone is another 007 game that was pulled from digital storefronts after Activision lost the rights to the James Bond video game franchise. For this review, I played the Xbox 360 version. There is also a DS version which was developed by n-Space and released at the same time. Developed by Bizarre Creations and published by Activision, 007: Blood Stone was released for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 in November, 2010. Some of them are just really good action games/shooters. That’s one of the cool things about many of these games, you don’t need to have any knowledge on the franchise. It’s the Daniel Craig films that got me into the 007 franchise but I was into the games way before I started watching the films.
