Product Description
The World is Not Enough features 14 single-player missions that employ a variety of different first-person shooter gameplay styles. In one level Bond is required to chase a criminal across a maze-like city while fighting off enemy thugs and avoiding civilian casualties. In another our hero finds himself swimming through an underwater submarine, advancing not only forward and backward, but up and down to as he descends deeper into the sunken structure's belly. Each scenario is not only different in design, but in overall gameplay mechanics too. For example, swimming through a sunken submarine requires a bit of strategy, as Bond will have to find well-hidden air pockets in the ship just so that he can breathe and stay alive. On the other hand, taking out enemy trash in the subway system level really only requires 007 to point, aim and shoot, disposing of thug after thug as he makes his way through the mission.

Considering the success Rare's GoldenEye 007 has had on the Nintendo 64, Electronic Arts designers had their work cut out for them in making another 3-D shooter using the James Bond license. The World Is Not Enough is a smashing success in terms of its graphics and sound, as well as in how it weaves the movie's plot into the gameplay. Unfortunately, this Bond game has just enough flaws to keep it from achieving classic status. If you've seen the movie on which this is based, the game's levels will all be familiar. There has been a kidnapping and it's up to you to scour the globe, rescue the victim, and untangle a twisty plot laced with betrayal. It wouldn't be a Bond game without myriad gadgets to help you along the way, so there's plenty of stuff to play with, including a multifunction laser/stun gun/grappling hook watch, safecracking equipment, and x-ray glasses. Weapons range from Bond's signature 9 mm automatic to shotguns, assault rifles, and everything in between. The game takes full advantage of the N64 Expansion Pak to pump up the graphics, and the game uses speech compression to give all the characters spoken dialogue. This makes the missions far more engaging than they would otherwise be, but brain-dead enemies really spoil the fun. The average Bond movie henchmen don't exactly have Einstein- caliber IQs, but shooting wave after excruciating wave of soldiers who do little more than blindly rush at you is just tedious. At least most missions throw innocent guards and bystanders into the mix so that even if the enemy isn't thinking clearly, you still have to be on your toes to prevent civilian casualties. The World Is Not Enough is a solid game that should appeal to fans of the movie, but stick with GoldenEye 007 or Perfect Dark if you want to experience a truly good 3-D shooter on the N64. --T. Byrl Baker Pros: - Good graphics, and the clear speech is a nice touch
- Tough missions are filled with fun objectives
- The need to protect innocents adds a lot of tension to the game
Cons: - Don't even think about it if you don't have an Expansion Pak
- Games must be saved to a memory card
- Generic opponents don't provide much of a challenge
Amazon.com Product Description
The World Is Not Enough is the highly anticipated sequel to the Nintendo 64's hugely popular first-person shooter, Golden Eye 007. Playing as James Bond, you'll accomplish mission objectives while using your Licence to Kill any bad guy in your sites. Crouch, jump, swim, climb, and run through each mission. There are three difficulty settings, each one making the bad guys tougher while adding mission objectives. And, playing to Bond's particularly glamorous skills, there is a forced-scrolling skiing-and-shooting level. Get important game info from the good guys you meet, including Q and M.Just like its predecessor, The World Is Not Enough has a multiplayer mode that's sure to be popular. The game has at least five multiplayer arenas for two-on-two, two-on-one, and three-on-one teams. Choose any character from the single-player mode, designate players controlled with artificial intelligence, and customize the match's settings: starting arsenal, weapons available for pickup, health power-ups, and match duration.

Great multi-player. March 7, 2008
This game has a great solo campain but the multi-player is where it is at in my opinon. There is a lot of weapons to choose from as well as characters and unlockables.
Gameplay: Pretty straight foreward. I have found something cheap in it with the AI. They are cheap when with fully automatic weapons you hear a bang and you are dead. Well that is how it is for me.
Sound: Pretty real... not much more to say..
Story: Not to complex.
Overall: A great buy for the multi-player. The single player is fine but no where near as fun as the multi-player.
Still fun May 2, 2007
This game is a huge step up in the department of graphics and sound from the hit goldeneye. This game includes (reload animations, crisper gaphics, voice acting, and lighting effects. The gameplay while not as good as goldeneye is still solid. All in all if you like the N64 or goldeneye pick this game uo

This is another good bond game on N64! The Levels are a bit of a challenge but what the hell who doesnt like a good challenge once in a while right? Some of the Levels though are also confusing but fun! I like this game for it's crisp graphics and selection of weapons! There is also a good selection of gadgets!
Many Levels to do if yur up for it! Sure you might say this guys dumb we beat goldeneye with over 20 levels! Well this game may not have as many levels as Goldeneye but the levels sure are more of a challenge!
Now it comes down to the final review the Multiplayer! Multiplayer on this game is fun also especially with the addition of bots! Now you can play with yur self all you want yeah I said play with yur self! This game is fun fun fun!
Surprisingly more than enough August 28, 2005

This is of course the video game adaptation of the third James Bond movie featuring Pierce Brosnan. It's also a kind of sequel to the N64 classic GoldenEye, though it's developed by Eurocom rather than Rareware.
I'm not sure how well this game sold, but it's a surprisingly above-average effort considering the expectations it had to live up to. It borrows heavily from the control scheme established by GoldenEye while throwing in a few new modifications (ability to jump, new gadgets, etc). The graphics are pretty solid, including some nice scripted animations of bad guys jumping in through windows and other effects. A lot of care was put into the movie license with solid voice acting (including John Cleese as R) and detailed recreations of key movie scenes and sets, a rarity in older games. Also like GoldenEye, you can unlock secrets such as new multiplayer characters by completing missions within a certain time limit.
The problem is that while The World is Not Enough is a strong effort on its own, it still pales to GoldenEye and also Perfect Dark, which was Rare's other masterpiece shooter for the N64. Enemy AI is pretty weak, and its robotic nature occasionally pulls you out of the cinematic experience. The decent amount of multiplayer options simply doesn't match the massive bucketload that Perfect Dark offered, and again the AI bots are lacking. Finally, the biggest annoyance is that the game needs the controller pak for save files. Other games need the controller pak too, but saving to the cartridge is always easier.
If you collect all things James Bond, The World is Not Enough is a solid title to grab (and is much stronger than the completely different PSX version). If you're looking for a good N64 shooter to fill out your collection with, this is also highly recommended, though you may want to try Perfect Dark first.
 Halo killer! August 2, 2005

First of, don't even think about this game if you don't have an expansion pack, you don't get hi-color graphics which make the game look 100x better. Secondly the single player is horrible, its too easy on Agent and Secret Agent difficulty, plus the baddies don't have brains! What I mean is the AI could be tweaked a little. On 00 Agent difficulty it takes a million shots to take down an enemy. But this review is for multiplayer which is 100 stars. There are many skins and maps, with more to be unlocked. The only problem is for you snipers out there aren't any maps in your favor until you unlock Sky Rail which is bigger and better than the Nightfire one. To get skyrail beat Midnight Departure on Agent within 3:05, I did it with two seconds to go in 3:03. Also, when you beat single player on Agent you get contemporary skins (Alec Trevelyan 006, Wai Lin, Crhistmas Jones(Dress), Max Zorin, and Mayday), on Secret Agent you get classic skins (Bond Tux, Jaws, Oddjob, Baron Samedi, and Scaramenga), on 00 Agent you Golden Gun MP mode, find the GG and get the most kills w/ it. In MP modes from the start you have Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Uplink, King of the Hill, and Last Agent Standing. Unlockable ones are Team KOTH, Golden Gun, Gadget War, Exotic Skins, Exotic Weapons (there may be more so check a cheat website or book). Speaking of cheats I've got some, on the Courier mission on Secret Agent, to get Suit Skins you must beat the level in 2:25 , to cheat this when you get into the safety deposit room, stun the guard, it'll say mission failed but not quite, grab the stuff out of the safety deposit box and leave, don't fight the other guards, you can finish in 30 seconds or less. To get Law Enforcment skins you must beat King's Ransom in some outragoues time. Start the mssion normally and play through, to the vault you see the guard w/ the SMG, noemally he'll tell you to get the doctor, well it'll be hard w/ 50,000 volts of electricity running through him (stunner), on your way to Q Branch stun him again.
