EA

Seeing Pierce Brosnan return to the role as EA tried to craft their own instalment in the canon, John Cleese and Judi Dench also returned as Q and M, to ostensibly make this the "sequel" Hollywood never got.

Even Richard Kiel returned as the mighty Jaws to give the game a formidable foe, and the entire project an air of authenticity.

In short, this is the best Bond game of them all. GoldenEye 007 pioneered revolutionary FPS combat for the time, but EoN had Visceral Games firing on all cylinders, recruiting EA Canada to lend the Need for Speed engine so even vehicle sequences were immaculate.

This is a movie game in a whole new way; a project that felt confident and purposeful from front to back, without being hampered by film production schedules that so often get in the way.
