Introduction

In 2005, Electronic Arts brought one of the most iconic James Bond films to life in video game form with 007: From Russia With Love.

This stylish third-person action title offers players the rare opportunity to step into the shoes of the legendary Sean Connery-era Bond, complete with the actor’s voice and likeness.

Taking inspiration from the 1963 film, the game reimagines the Cold War spy thriller as a fast-paced shooter with new action sequences, upgraded gadgets, and cinematic presentation tailored for a modern gaming audience.

Story Overview

Set in the 1960s, the game follows James Bond as he is tasked with recovering a stolen Soviet encryption device known as the “Lektor.” His mission takes him across glamorous and dangerous locales, including Istanbul, a British embassy, secret underground lairs, and the legendary Orient Express.

Along the way, Bond confronts the mysterious criminal organization known as Octopus (a stand-in for SPECTRE), led by the cunning Rosa Klebb and the deadly assassin Red Grant.

The game combines scenes from the film with brand-new missions and characters designed to expand the story, giving players a fresh yet familiar Bond experience.
