Playability - A
The game is very simple to just pick up and start playing. For most games, I read the manual but with 007 I just picked it up and got into it. I finished the game on the operative difficulty within 2.5-3 hours and was in love with the ease of the controls the entire time.
Load times - B+
Very quick loading, maybe 20 seconds tops. Takes me almost up to the moment where I think, "Is it going to freaking let me play?!" before finishing loading.
Graphics - A
Some of the best FPS graphics I've seen for the PSP. But, take that opinion with a grain of salt as I've only played Coded Arms.
Sound - B+
Sound was pretty darn decent! Much better than I expected and in the 'movie' style scenes, the sound effects and music were top notch.
Overall - A-
James Bond 007: From Russia With Love is a fun game that you can play multiple times in single player and multiplayer mode. The load time is quick and the graphics and sound effects/music are phenomenal. Definitely worth the $39.99 I paid.

yes, it actually took me about 3.5 hours to finish this game on the operative mode (easiest mode). honestly, i wasn't aware of the fact that a game can only be 'good' if it takes you forever to beat it. i guess that is why World of Warcraft is so well loved, right?...because you can't actually win the game, can you?
i'm not sure if you guys realize this, but all reviews are personal opinions. my opinion is that i don't have any problem spending $40 bucks for a game that i can play and beat in 3.5 hours on the easy mode (playing time certainly doesn't make the game less fun). i think that this game is a fun game and i can always play the multiplayer and i still have yet to finish the bond challenges (i think there are two extra challenges per stage). to me, it was worth every penny.

what is BB? i'm still replaying it right now. i've only gotten through to the consulate level (about 4 stages in, i think) in the 00 agent mode (most difficult). it's about a million times more difficult than on the easy mode. lol. i think if i had tried to play it through on the 00agent mode i wouldn't have beaten the game for a few days at least.
the length of a game surely does not show the quality of or fun factor of a game. when you can beat it in 3 hours, it just makes it a short good game that might not be worth buying if it has mini games or multiplayer then the replay value increases and the limited amount of time spent playing the brunt of the game doesnt matter as much. when a game is truly great, we just have high hopes for it and that usually means a game we can almost play forever with just the thought of that almighty and ultimate last mission just out of our grasp....... then we wake up, still with high hopes for the next game :P
Even if this game is short, you can play multiplayer ad-hoc. On the N-64, I never even played the Single Player missions, I would just play multiplayer with my friends.
