Missing in Action – 007 Blood Stone

What you’re about to read through isn’t a review in the conventional sense, it’s more of a guide to a game that you might have not played recently simply because it got bad reviews or it didn’t get enough publicity. These games will be our personal choices of games we believed to be either quite good contrary to the general review consensus or games that just didn’t sell very well. First up in this feature of games that might have gave you the slip is 007 Blood Stone, Activision’s latest James Bond adventure.

I thought Blood Stone was underated myself too! Not the best game, but still an enjoyable action title. Good to see you bringing this to the attention of others.

Hows the online? thinking of picking the game up in a week or 2.

I've only played a small bit of the online and it's playable but frustrating. It takes a lot of bullets to drop and enemy and the melee can be a bit frustrating. Definitely better as a single-player game.

The online is tacked on but I did have fun with it.

The game overall isn't as good as EON, and it should have been, but its still a pretty good and recommended for Bond fans, or those who just enjoyed watching the last two Bond films.

Been thinking about getting this game when the price drops. It seems a decent game but just not worth the full price.
The other 007 game that came out a year or two ago is very cheap now, around £8 used, so I can see this one dropping very low in price soon.

This game is well worth a try and is pretty cheap now.

Be warned though, you will finish it within 6 hours

Its fun a game but it has little replay value. Takes about 5-6hrs to complete and not really worth playing through a second time unless you really want to go after some achievements you missed.
