007 First Light

Play as a young James Bond, a naval air crewman recruited into MI6's revived Double 0 programme after a heroic act. When a mission involving a rogue agent ends in tragedy, Bond and his reluctant mentor Greenway investigate a conspiracy threatening the State.

Missions combine third-person stealth, exploration and action. Gather information by observing locations, listening to conversations and questioning people; use gadgets to interfere with security or distract guards, and bluff your way through some encounters. When plans unravel, fight with firearms and close-quarters moves, using objects and the surroundings to gain an advantage.

The story-led campaign moves Bond through training and operations in varied locations, shifting between investigation, infiltration, combat and cinematic set pieces. Gadgets become available as the story progresses, while chapter replay and Tactical Simulations offer challenges built around mission locations and objectives.

In this sample, players often enjoy the cinematic Bond-style story and presentation, especially the portrayal of a young, inexperienced Bond. Many also praise the blend of stealth, gadgets, bluffing and action, with close-quarters combat and varied approaches standing out. Some reviewers find the campaign too linear or guided, and criticize enemy AI and limited replay value.
