It's definitely not fun to wait another eight weeks for something you care about, but our 007: First Light Preview suggests the third-person adventure will be worth the long wait, with GR's Eli Jones writing: “From what I've seen so far, IO doesn't quite nail it every time, but where it does stumble is a problem with the format rather than a problem with the delivery itself.” If this small quibble is the only thing the studio has to deal with, then my belief in 007: First Light seems well founded – it could turn out to be the perfect Bond game.”
