Ranking Every James Bond Videogame

11 of 24 14. James Bond 007: Goldfinger: One thing you'll notice looking at these games is that they cover a lot of ground, genre-wise, including one of my favorites: text adventures! And Goldfinger is actually a pretty respectable, well-written text adventure. In fact, I'd say it's one of the better earlier games because it allows you to relive most of the actual movie instead of the developer trying to draw out a single action sequence into a whole game. Not a masterpiece by any means but more than enjoyable.

12 of 24 13. The Spy Who Loved Me: Developed years after the movie was released, The Spy Who Loved Me is one of the few older Bond games that holds up surprisingly well. As a top-down shooter, the game works pretty well and will likely appease anyone who digs arcade-style action. Sure, you're playing James Bond confined to a car but it has missiles! Its colorful aesthetic is also pleasing to look at.

13 of 24 12. A View To a Kill (Text Adventure): Surprise! A View To a Kill again! This time as a text adventure! Though it's a year younger than the Goldfinger text adventure, developed by Mindscape as well, A View to a Kill spends less time assaulting you with blocks of words and letting you take part in the action, which makes it a bit more tolerable than its sibling.

14 of 24 11. From Russia With Love: Most of the later James Bond games use either Daniel Craig or Pierce Brosnan's likeness. From Russia With Love is one of the few to deviate from that, letting you play as the man who was the original Bond himself, Sir Thomas Sean Connery. Well, his likeness anyway. And he also recorded new voicework for the game as well. Neat. Okay yes the game itself isn't much but it's not awful. Just ho-hum action-adventure type fare…with Sean Connery. That's gotta count for something, right?

15 of 24 10. GoldenEye 007/GoldenEye 007 Reloaded: Like the unbelievably awful Rogue Agent, GoldenEye 007 seems to be an attempt to take advantage of the nostalgia associated with Rare's classic 1997 shooter. However, unlike Rogue Agent, this one is actually pretty decent. A straightforward shooter that apes the original except for some small but noticeable changes, like switching Bond's wristwatch with a cellphone. Like all remakes, this one fails in its attempts to capture the past, but it's still a good time nonetheless.

16 of 24 9. Everything or Nothing: Everything or Nothing is a well-paced third-person shooter that had some interesting sections in it to spice up its serviceable shooty bits, like letting you rappel down the side of a building while firing your machineguns at foes or when you're piloting a helicopter through a canyon. Oh, and it also had Williem Dafoe as the bad guy years before there was a big fuss over him being in Beyond Two Souls.

17 of 24 8. 007: Quantum of Solace: Quantum of Solace is mostly interesting because it has a ton of versions that are radically different from one another. The PS2 and DS versions are third-person shooters while the PS3/Wii/Xbox 360/PC versions are first-person shooters with third-person stealth elements. The later generation console version is pretty to look at and there are some segments that stand out, but it's a little too ho-hum and grating to be counted among the best of Bonds.

18 of 24 7. 007 Racing: Another game that capitalizes on the series' obsession with fast cars,007 Racing is a pretty fun combat car game where you get to drive some of Bond's most famous cars and use their gadgets. An entertaining little distraction, especially if you have some pals over to play the splitscreen multiplayer.

19 of 24 6. Tomorrow Never Dies: Tomorrow Never Dies just never had a chance. Released for PS1 shortly after GoldenEye, comparisons to the Nintendo 64 classic were unavoidable, and the game just doesn't come close to approaching the quality of Rare's masterpiece. That said, it's a perfectly fine stealth game on its own, especially considering this is the original PlayStation we're talking about, which—except for some notable exceptions—lacked entertaining third-person shooters.

20 of 24 5. Agent Under Fire: Agent Under Fire was the first first-person shooter based on the James Bond license that was developed and published by EA. It has an enjoyable campaign filled with tight shooting occasionally interrupted by entertaining driving sequences. You also have a rad cellphone packed with all sorts of dangerous goodies to use. Nightfire, a sequel to the game, would later build upon this foundation to create one of the best 007 games.5.
