James Bond 007: Blood Stone Xbox 360 Review

Just after Activision acquired the rights to James Bond, MGM announced that it was going to delay the next Bond film indefinitely. This could not have come at a worse time for the gigantic games publisher, with that movie clearly in line to form the basis of the new game. Considering that most movie games turn out to be of poor quality, some might argue this was a bonus. So instead Activision had to create its own Bond story for the game and employed Bizarre Creations to build it. However, unfortunately, Blood Stone is a few flaws short of a must play game.

Blood Stone as you would expect is its own story in the Bond world. It has no relation to the other stories and does an adequate job of providing a story for the game. Bond and MI6 are tipped off that a British scientist is going to sell biological warfare secrets to an enemy force. Bond is sent in to stop that happening and the story enthralls from there. By the end of the story you will have encountered a few twists and turns, but just like the films, the story is there to only service the action on screen.
