This game is really cool,you gt to drive all the Bond cars ever made, like the Aston Martin DB5, the BMW Z3, the Z8, the BMW 740il, and the Lotus Espirit. Also you get all the hi-tech gadgets and gizmos you could possibly think of! In 2 player mode you get choose your car and then go and choose between 6 or 7 tracks. It also has realy great graphics too. Plus in the one player you get to go on a mission(basically all you do is rescue some chick get some missles and leave) Over all I think this is one the best games I have played.(having a steering wheel helps)

Bond games are taken to a new level.

3 cheers for 007 Racing! This game is totally cool. Let me explain. You're Bond(again), the world's greatest super-spy. Your mission: drive your car through challenging missions, recovering girls and missles, bring em' to MI-6 and M-your boss- to win the game. Easy? For driving experts, buy this game. Totally awesome. As a master of the 007 movie trivias, I know nearly every-cool-car driven by James. In this game, that includes the BMW's, Aston Martin DB5, the Lotus Espirit, the other Aston Martin, the other BMW, and many, many more. Of course, the gadgets Q installed are there-making the Aston Martins maybe the best equipped car-except for the BMW from GoldenEye. Buy this game. NOW.

very very cool

I got this game a couple days ago, and it is tuff. I am still working on leave 3 of 12. This game has made me want to order The World is Not Enough becuase this game is so fun. It has cool cars, cool missles, and cool graffics. If u like james bond games, or racing games, i recomend this game, it is alittle of both. You may not think a car game would be so much like the other bond games, but it is. This is a great challenging game that will have u working at it for hours.

Perfect For Those Of Us Who Can't Get Enough Of 007

This is a great game for all 007 fans. From the first N64 game "Goldeneye" to this current game "OO7 - Racing" by Playstation - "playing" as James Bond is simply a lot of fun! An added attraction on this game is the scenes between missions that show a computer generated Bond that is much like a minature movie scene with action and dialogue. This added attraction is hopefully something that we will see an increase of in future games. Buy it! Play it! Be Bond!

007 Racing is really cool. You can drive a BMW Z3, BMW Z8, Lotus Elise, and a Bentley. The game is sort of like Vigilante 8 and SW Demolition. This game is multiplayer and 1-player. When you are in a multiplayer game, you battle the 2nd player. YOU CANNOT BATTLE THE COMPUTER! In 1-player mode, you have to complete a specific mission. Although the game is a tiny bit hard, it is really cool.

Great filler, but lousy game.

I like to watch Bond animation and clip collages as much as the next Q field agent. What I really love to do is play Bond games, like Goldeneye for N64. I was hoping for something similar with this, but sadly, no pay off. The graphics are mediocre and game play is ok. It is fun but just not what I had really wanted.

Pretty Good Game

This game is ok. When I first played it, I was so exited to start driving! But now, I have completed the game (it was hard), and I guess it was worth it. The graphics are ok, and the levels can get tedious. I had to do the last level about 50 times to figure out how to do evrything the perfect way.
Some levels I thought were way too short, though! Especially Download(the third last level). Th multiplayer is fun too, but the graphics aren't as good. The controls can get pretty frustrating, and if you go really fast and then start to turn, you spin out of control until you have slown down narly completely!
I reccomend that you rent it actually, then buy it, because once you complete it, it is not as fun anymore.

wasted licence

Visually this game is terribly lacking. The car models are swarmed with nasty looking jaggies that I've never seen before in previous car games on the PSX. The models look somewhat decent, but their outward appearance is very grainy, thanks to the jaggies. Not exactly very nice car detail, and I'm frankly disappointed. The environments are very shabby, they flicker like crazy and on top of that look downright pixilated. When you look at the floor, or the backgrounds you should notice how incredibly ugly everything looks, it makes me even wonder if Eutechnyx spent any time on the game from E3 2000 up until the release date. The frame rates are fine, but at times may act up, and don't get me started on the pop-up 'cause this game is right up there with Driver 2. The game's collision detection is also a pile (...), and the overall look of the visuals looks hardly alpha staged, the only good thing I can say about the visuals is that they move and there are colors, otherwise everything else, including special effects look like demo titles running on a first wave PSX tool-kit. But I must admit that the CGs are some of the best in any PS game yet.

The concept of the game is quite good, only if it was better executed. You are James Bond of course, except you are Pierce Brosnan not Sean Connery or the other Bonds, that is bad impact number one. The game's plot is totally unrealistic, you will see Pierce Brosnan in every single vehicle, including a DB5 and tons of other classic Bond vehicles. I believe that it was a stupid move by the developer to only put Pierce Brosnan in 007 Racing, because true Bond fans will be completely turned off by the game. Losing some critical points there, 007 Racing also suffers from un-balanced and boring missions, such as picking up people, shooting down a helicopter with only one try, escorting this person, that person, blah, blah, blah. By the second mission you'll definitely notice what kind of horrendously boring product your playing. If you folks want to know, there are 15 missions to complete, all of which are explained to you in a mission briefing, but none that I would like to listen to. There are a few decent stages, take for example the Highway Hazzard, what you do here is you follow an 18-wheeler and your goal is to pop the wheels on the truck using a hi-tech device. In case you're wondering, the two-player missions need not to be played, you just won't have any fun with them at all. Some of the weapons that James Bond will use are missiles, homing missiles and machine guns, he will be able to use shields and replenish his lives by picking up health kits. Through the game you will be taken through tons of different areas such as New York, Louisiana, Eastern Europe, and Monte Carlo. 007 Racing is a lacking game with a great concept, if only the developer had taken time to balance out the missions, and perk up the visuals, we could have had a great game, but there is always the PS2 version which is currently under development.

Audio is decent, but the songs are far too repetitive and can annoy the heck out of you. The voice acting on the other hand is quite good, but it seems as if Q would rather have the returned in one piece instead of having James back healthy. While playing the game you'll hear Q commenting on your performance, and may give you some hints at times. Most of the time the voice acting is found during the mission briefings by M and they can be quite long, but the clarity is good though so there isn't anything painful to be dealt with. Not bad audio effects, but if the soundtrack was worked on we could have had something much better.

Controls are just too sloppy, every time I try to make a turn it feels like the emergency brake has been hit. The cars have absolutely no realistic feel to them at all, so car enthusiasts must look elsewhere. I'll give the game its nice analog features, both analog sticks work and they have a good deal of sensitivity. I honestly can't say much more about the controls, other than that they feel very sloppy, there is no realism to speak off and the only thing that's good about the controls are the analog sticks.

Sadly what was once a very promising game, turned out to be a miserable failure, 007 could have been a good game if its visuals were worked on more, because I know that PSOne can do so much better than this, the gameplay needs to adjusting and the controls should have been tightened up for better gameplay. With horrible graphics, unsatisfactory and tedious gameplay, and loose controls 007 Racing is barely worth a purchase, let alone a rental, just stay away from this game if you know what's good for you and the Playstation.

6.1 / 10

but it is bond after all so I suppose you will all buy it anyway
