You also get to drive boats which again is awesome stuff and helps add a bit of variety to the gameplay. These have you driving in a car chasing down the bad guys, one, in particular, has you in the iconic Aston Martin. To break up the shooting sections, James Bond 007: Blood Stone has some spectacular vehicle sections. A focus token lets you then take down an enemy in a slow-motion, badass kind of way which is fun. The melee system in the game is awesome and some of the takedowns are brutal! Not only are these fun to do and a way to be stealthy. You need to take down bad guys with shotguns, machine guns, pistols, and so on. I will admit that the game is not groundbreaking in its design and it plays things very safe, but that does not make it bad! You play as Bond and I would say the game is more of a cover shooter than anything else. One of the unfair criticisms that I saw thrown at this game was that it was a generic third-person shooter. It is pretty action-packed stuff and the fact that they were able to get Daniel Craig, Dame Judy Dench, and even Joss Stone who is our token Bond girl to take part in this game does give it a real sense of authenticity like it could be based on an actual Bond movie. In James Bond 007: Blood Stone, we have Daniel Craig going up against a group of biochemical terrorists that sees him having to travel all over the world to stop them. The last original Bond game, Everything or Nothing was truly an awesome story.

The plot of the game is perhaps not the strongest.

At the time this was released, I thought that it was a lot of fun, even if some stuffy video game journalists did not! Spying All Over The World EA did this a few years earlier and did one hell of a job. James Bond 007: Blood Stone was the first time that Activision took a stab at making an original story with a James Bond game.
