Oriental rugs litter the floors, and ornate wallpaper covers the walls. The texture variety is excellent and lends itself well to making the environments believable. It should be noted that the frame rates stay solid during multiplayer, but the stifled customization seriously hacks into the replay value.Д®urocom has done a nice job with TWINE's graphics, considering the game's relatively short development period.

There are plenty of modes to explore such as capture the flag, deathmatch, king of the hill, and last man standing. You may play with up to three bots, though giving them any sort of command is impossible, and they generally amount to nothing more than fragging fodder thanks to their limited intelligence.

While there is a nice selection of arenas, the weapon customization is extremely limited, with just three presets to choose from. TWINE's multiplayer mode is somewhat limited. Despite this, there's plenty of Bond charm to go around in TWINE, and most will enjoy playing through it. They do not seek cover, and they do not alter their path to make killing them difficult. They see, they run, they shoot - and that's about it. Unfortunately, the enemies in TWINE are blessed with artificial ignorance. Head shots lead to instantaneous death, while plugging enemies in the torso or limbs takes several rounds to bring them down. The traditional Bond weapons have also returned, including silenced handguns, machine guns, and sniper rifles. Night vision goggles, sticky bombs, and the safecracker make up just a small portion of your arsenal. You can use it to stun the enemy, grapple to out of the way places, shoot darts, or cut things open with its laser. A watch is always part of your equipment, and this time around it's multifunctional. What is a James Bond game without gadgetry? The contrivances Q throws out in TWINE are some of his best works yet. The gameplay variety offered in The World Is Not Enough is refreshing at times, but there seems to be more run-and-gun action than the suave and sophisticated Bond would normally engage in. Other times it completely takes over, eliminating enemies in the distance while leaving the immediate threat breathing down your neck. Just when you think you can count on it to sight someone up on its own, it hangs you out to dry. Which brings up another control issue, the auto-aim. The controls are abominable during these levels, and they usually just take you away from what you really want to be doing - shooting to kill. Another level requires that you swim through a maze of underwater tunnels. One level has you skiing down a mountain while thugs on parachuting snowmobiles drop grenades from the sky and try to cap you with their rifles. Beyond that, there are other levels that mix it up a bit. There's a lot of sneaking around, escaping rooms with no weapons to use, assuming other identities, and rescuing hostages. Minus a few levels, the majority of TWINE's quilt of gameplay is constructed of the same cloth as GoldenEye's.

Paralleling Bond's latest big-screen flick with precision, The World Is Not Enough provides an engaging experience but fails to match the gameplay finesse of GoldenEye.

Where GoldenEye's storytelling is heavily grounded in skill progression, Eurocom chooses a more blatant, theatrical approach. Make no mistake, TWINE attempts to mimic Rare's game in many ways.

Seizing the opportunity, EA gobbled up the license and hasn't looked back since, publishing several Bond games for the PlayStation and now The World Is Not Enough for the Nintendo 64. Throngs of GoldenEye fans were foaming at the mouth when Rare politely declined to secure the Bond license for a second go-around.
