20 Severely Underrated Video Games From The 2000s

16. From Russia With Love

While Goldeneye takes the cake as THE quintessential Bond game, there's a gold mine of 007 titles that have graced the shelves since then that provide the same level of polish and replayability. The World Is Not Enough, Nightfire, Everything Or Nothing, and From Russia With Love - all fantastic shooters that did a phenomenal job of capturing the super-stylized world of the suave super-spy, but it's the latter that I feel often goes unmentioned whenever the ol' "which Bond game is the best" conversation comes up. The concept is solid: with the premise of the film framing an expanded story which incoporated several elements from later films - such as the emphasis on Spectre, as well as a few nice touches including Goldfinger's Aston Martin DB5, and Thunderball's Jetpack - From Russia With Love delivered an authentic recreation of Sean Connery's Cold War-era Bond. With fluid gun-slinging and brawling mechanics, EA's 007 swan song is easily one of the strongest Bond games on offer, and deserving of more love.
