Three years ago Rareware released GoldenEye 007 for Nintendo 64 and changed the way gamers thought about console first-person shooters. The title, based on the movie of the same name, followed the exploits of super-spy James Bond as he plotted to save the world from terrorists. And thanks to clever, innovative design and a remarkable multiplayer mode, it proved that consoles could do the then PC friendly genre justice too. For more than a year Nintendo 64 owners cried for a Bond sequel all the while expecting that Rare would be the software house to create it. After all, GoldenEye's end credits did promise: "James Bond Will Return." But not from Rare. The British developer instead announced that it had passed on the chance to do the follow-up so that it could pursue its original work, which as we all know turned out to be the great Perfect Dark.

Yet, Nintendo's 64-bit console would see the return of James Bond still, and from another English developer at that: Eurocom Entertainment. The up and coming company had quietly been working on a 3D engine catered specifically to Nintendo's hardware and with a little help from giant publisher Electronic Arts, the videogame version of The World is Not Enough was born. Excellent news too -- it turns out Rare's not the only developer that can make a highly enjoyable Bond shooter.

Internet Reviews:

The World is Not Enough is an excellent 3D shooter for Nintendo 64 and an amazing follow-up to Rare's GoldenEye. Whether or not its ultimately better than Perfect Dark is a question that's open for debate, as different gamers obviously want different things out of their shooter. However, if it's an incredible single-player mode packed full of spy gadgetry, stealthy missions, clever mission objectives and outstanding graphics that you're after, you can't do better than this Eurocom shooter, even if it does fall a little short in the AI and multiplayer departments.
Wholeheartedly recommended.
