While the control system is far better than that used in Alien Resurrection, this game's gameplay is still let down by some incredibly dodgy AI. Unlike other games that have enemies ducking for cover and trying to draw you out into the open, I found that almost all of your opponents in this game can be coaxed out of their hiding places and made to run straight towards your waiting gun barrel. In one scene I had a great time mowing down a total of 22 enemies as each slowly jogged down a long passageway toward where Bond was hidden. One by one they each took turns being drilled with my automatic weapon until I ran out of ammo and finished the rest off with my pistol. As a result the game can tend to be a little too easy in some parts, and a decent player will probably finish it in 007 mode in less than a day.

Another frustrating point about the gameplay is the age-old ability to get stuck to a piece of scenery. While sneaking around a corner the player can snag onto the wall, which can be fatal if there is someone awaiting you around that very corner. Trying to retreat down a passage full of enemies and getting constantly "grabbed" by pot plants and tables is not most peoples' idea of fun, and the player is forced to tread with care even around levels that are supposed to be action-packed.
