Briefing
What would James Bond do? That’s the question players
will answer in every dramatic moment of James Bond 007: Everything
or Nothing, as the world’s greatest secret agent returns
in his fifth interactive adventure under the EA GAMES™ brand.
First, you will think like Bond, using espionage, tactical skills,
and gadgets from the Q-Lab to analyze your situation. Then you
will act like Bond, using his stylish physical skills, clever
subterfuge, and bold personality to once again save the world.
Finally, you will see every Bond moment from the new third person
perspective that shows the Hollywood cast playing out a real-time
cinematic action adventure that could only come from the world
of James Bond.
Returning as James Bond is Pierce Brosnan, who will lend his
cyberscanned likeness and voice to the character. The rest of
the cast will include new Bond girls as well as old and new Bond
villains. The original script will take players through exciting
locales in four continents including the Valley of the Kings in
Egypt and the French Quarter in New Orleans.
To play out the challenge of thinking and acting like Bond, players
will make choices ranging from direct confrontation to subtle
misdirection when interacting with enemies. When it comes time
for combat, Bond can engage in hand-to-hand fighting, using objects
from game environments as weapons, as well as accessing a guns
and gadgets. The discerning player, however, may find a multitude
of different options ranging from disguise to distracting guards
to using cover — and using these Bond-style tactics to outsmart
the bad guys will reward the player with special enhancements
including Q-Lab gadgetry.
Other new features include two-player co-op missions and four-player
multiplayer arena modes, all set in third person views and featuring
multiple playable characters.

Trivia
The estimated production budget was $3,000,000.
The company that Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli, the original
producers of the James Bond series, set up to produce the films
was called "Eon", which was rumored to be an acronym
for "Everything or Nothing." However, sources inside
the Bond camp over the years have denied that "Eon"
stood for anything.
This game featured the long awaited return of Jaws, a villain
from The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) and Moonraker (1979).
In the "Mardi Gras Mayhem" level, at the beginning
part when you are driving to the park to meet Mya pay attention
to the buildings on the road, one of them is a Phoenix Corporation
building (from Nightfire). Similar to the Malprave Industries
(from Agent Under Fire) boat in Nightfire.
Mistakes
After Bond has tried to save 003 he returns to his safe house
and 003’s bike is parked in the yard (it was not there before).
003 cannot move the bike as he is dead, but Q says that 003 did
park the bike.
