Review

General

• Since this isn't a current game, outside the gameplay section, I think the prose outside any direct quotes needs to switch from present to past-tense.

I kept the present tense outside direct quotes to make it consistent with the tense inside quotes. For example, in the following sentence: Edge concluded that, while the game lacks innovative elements, it "still offers plenty of enjoyment for those who have eshausted Rare's masterpieces." - If I replace "lacks" with "lacked", then the whole sentence won't sound right in my ears. Besides, as the game still exists, it still lacks and offers these features according to the reviewer. Can you be a bit more specific on where you think the tense needs to be changed? Thanks --Niwi3 (talk) 21:01, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Infobox

• The European release date isn't mentioned elsewhere in the article, and isn't cited in the lead.

Added it at the end of the development section --Niwi3 (talk) 21:01, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Lead

• but a Controller Pak is required to save the player's progress through the single-player compain. - It's "campaign". I read it as "single-player complain" for a second.

Development

• According to Eurocom, "[we] don't think we could push it much more than we have." - The fullstop should come after the quote, not within it as it's not a full sentance.

• Electronic Arts secured a "Teen" rating from the ESRB because they felt that fast action and memorable spy moments were what the Bond legacy had always stood for.[12] - So they were consciously avoiding bloody/gratuitous/disturbing elements, or what? Not everyone reading this will know what the ESRB "Teen" rating entails.

Expanded the sentence with "to avoid intense portrayals of violence" --Niwi3 (talk) 21:01, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

On the whole, the article seems sound, aside from the points I've mentioned above. Once all these are addressed or explained, I'll be happy to give this article the thumbs-up. --ProtoDrake (talk) 13:00, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply as I have been quite busy this week. Thank you for your time and review, really appreciated. I think I have addressed most of the issues you have listed above and left a comment regarding your first point. Please let me know what you think. --Niwi3 (talk) 21:01, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

@Niwi3: I've looked at the article, and I think it's more than suitable now. It's a Pass. Congrats! --ProtoDrake (talk) 23:14, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
