Worth the wait... |
| Sparky from Phoenix, USA says (27/Dec/2000): |
As an avid James Bond fan, I had always hoped something like 007 Racing would be realized. Happily, after 20+ years, I was not disappointed. The successive mission format gives purpose to the Vigilante-8 style vehicular combat. While PS2 and Dreamcast platforms may have substantially raised the bar for graphics and animation benchmarks, the visual effects in the game are effective. The "slow camera" response, for instance, is a nice cinematic touch: instead of being stuck behind tailights, you get to watch the beautifully-rendered Bond cars sweep through bootlegger-reverses and other slick maneuvers. Combined with hip music that rivals recent 007 film soundtracks, the game's action, story and visuals pull the single player into an exciting adventure. Unless I'm mistaken, the only missing element is support for driving wheel hardware. Having said that, I must also join the chorus in their dissatisfaction with the multiplayer mode: zones are too small, and there's little (if any) collateral damage. Speaking of damage, why do car-stopping and tank-busting "Hellfire" rockets appear to puff harmlessly on forklifts? Such inconsistent realism only adds frustration--not fun--to problem-solving. Hoping the anticipated PS2 version addresses these issues and quirks, I'll still get plenty of Bond-genre, cut-to-the-chase entertainment out of this Playstation game.

This Game is Great, but it doesn't have enough missions. |
| Aldger from Birmingham, AL, USA says (20/Dec/2000): |
This game was great! The action is good, the cars are incredible, and the storyline is ingenious. I felt like I was James Bond in a movie. The way the BMW's are implemented and the way the Lotus is used is absolutely incredible. It was also neat how they let you remotely drive a car through a mission. They implemented every weapon on the car that was used in the movies. The only problem with this game is that there are not enough missions. I wish they had have created more missions to use on the 00 Agent difficulty level instead of just lowering your time to complete the same old missions on the agent level. I beat this game in a day and I was bored after that. I couldn't imagine the boredom if I bought it. Other than that this game was great.

007 at its Absolute worst! |
| Beavis from Halsted Kansas says (17/Dec/2000): |
This game truly and with no doubt in my mind sucks. It looks like they banged this game out in a month or two spending little time on the graphics (other than the movies which are still kinda lame). Dont even rent the game, its not worth it, I made it to the level where you you race Jaws and some other chick down the bayou. They shoot mortars with amazing accurucy for a car going 100 mph. Its way too hard the targeting systems are too slow you cant move back and forth fast enough to kill anything moving. The Bond cars design was fairly good but when you have a smooth looking car surrounded with poorly done graphics it ruins the whole look. The car is way too hard to control. I wasnt expecting any GranTurismo or anything just at least the ability to go in one direction without skidding around. I've played some bad games and some good games, this one was the worst of em all. (Worse than Dukes of Hazzard? - Editor)

This game sucks....its WAY too hard |
| Jubei from Rochester NY says (15/Dec/2000): |
Although this game has its GREAT points....and if you have played it, you know I am talking about the movies...It gets a bad score from me. The car is IMPOSSIBLE to controll and 007 RACING is the name right?? Who do I ever race??? But as anyways, there are WAY too many people to kill...They HAVE GOT to get rid of that EXACT timing crap...they give you JUST enough time to beat a level, and that's stupid! Not only do the guys to kill suck but the weapons are RIGHT outa' Duke Nukem
all in all this game is crap, im glad i RENTED it first!

It Really REEKS |
| A gamer says (15/Dec/2000): |
This game is terrible. it is extremely hard. When I get to the part in New York City where you have to disable those computers I get extremely frustrated. This game has no graphics at all until the movies come on. I hope they recall it so I can get my money back.

007 Racing was one of the best PSX games I've ever played!! |
| A gamer from Pgh, USA says (2/Dec/2000): |
007 Racing was a game that had a lot of action. The graphics were grrrreat!!!! And the intro video was great!(If you have this game then you probably know what I mean) The cheats you have to earn isnt very hard to do also because you just have to keep doin that misson over, as many times till you are happy with your results... SO GO BUY THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good game |
| ryan from denver, usa says (2/Dec/2000): |
its a really good game its kind of hard though. i mean there really isn't any racing in it but the action is good. once you learn the feel of the car in the game it gets much easier. the hardest part is killing the dumb little guys that are always running around you. this game over all is pretty good. a few flaws and not enough racing but hey when you get to the 2-player mode its like twisted metal british style, so i hafta throw in a few points for that one. the game is over all good though
