DESCRIPTION

Drawing on over four decades of superspy characters, capers, and pop culture, James Bond: Top Agent celebrates the adventures of the world's favorite MI6 operative in a series of one-on-one fights to the finish against a rogues gallery of goons, henchmen, and infamous villains. Battles play out in a turn-based manner in which planning is everything. Before the fight begins, players are shown which enemy they'll be facing and the location in which the battle will take place. Players then choose the weapons or gadgets they'll take with them, and then finally, in order, the five offensive, defensive, or special moves they will make to try to defeat their opponent. The computer-controlled opponent chooses five moves as well, and the fight is won and lost according to how those moves match up. Each offensive move has a defensive match, and if the enemy happens to choose it the right countermove at the right time, it can render an attack harmless. Mismatches can cause great harm to the combatant who is caught short, however, and the winner of each fight is the one who does the most overall damage to his opponent. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
