James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing is a 2004 action adventure game developed by EA Redwood Shores and published by Electronic Arts for the PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox. The game features a cast of voice actors including Pierce Brosnan, reprising his film role as MI6 agent James Bond. Other returning actors include Richard Kiel, John Cleese and Judi Dench, as Jaws, Q and M respectively, alongside Willem Dafoe, Heidi Klum, Misaki Ito, Shannon Elizabeth, and Mýa. It is considered a continuation of Die Another Day (2002), featuring Brosnan and Cleese in their final performances as Bond and Q, respectively. Development of the game began in 2001. Written by Bruce Feirstein, Danny Bilson, and Paul De Meo, Everything or Nothing centers around Bond dealing with the use of nanotechnology as terrorism. The player controls Bond, and the game includes several driving levels. It is the second Bond game played in third-person after Tomorrow Never Dies (1999), and is the first Bond game to feature a two-player cooperative mode. Everything or Nothing was released in February 2004. It received "generally positive reviews" according to Metacritic.
Gameplay
The gameplay is an action-adventure game with a mix of third-person shooting/action sequences and vehicle sequences. In third-person missions, Bond can typically use cover, engage in hand-to-hand combat, use gadgets, and perform some context-sensitive actions, while driving sequences primarily involve racing to a specific objective. The player drives multiple vehicles throughout the game, including the Aston Martin Vanquish, Porsche Cayenne Turbo, a Subaru Impreza rally car, and a Triumph Daytona 600 motorcycle. The player can complete objectives in multiple ways, and players are awarded "Bond Moments" when they complete an objective, feat, or task in a manner consistent with Bond's actions in films. These actions frequently involve the use of Bond's gadgets, which include a rappel gun, remote-controlled Q-Spider drones, and a wristwatch equipped with a strobe flash. A diverse arsenal of ranged weapons is available, headlined by Bond's contemporary standard-issue sidearm, the Walther P99. The game is identical across each console, aside from minor graphical and sound differences. A cooperative mode was included for two players in which two unnamed operatives must complete missions using the same gameplay mechanics as the single-player portion of the game. The PlayStation 2 version included an online version of this mode. Electronic Arts retired the game's servers in January 2006. Another version of Everything or Nothing was published for the Game Boy Advance and can be linked to the GameCube version via the GameCube – Game Boy Advance link cable, providing unique premium content.
