!!The Video Game contains examples of:
* AdaptationExpansion:
** The movie opens with Bond spying on a terrorist arms bazaar. The game reveals the backstory of Bond's mission; being sent to Russia to take down a satellite dish that is intercepting British surveillance, then escaping from Russian soldiers before making a quick getaway that leads him into the arms bazaar as seen in the movie.
** Additionally the game provides an additional mission where Henry Gupta's mercenaries are making their way to the Swiss border, and Bond have to travel to Switzerland to stop them in a car chase.
** The Hokkaido level mentioned below, in the movie Bond doesn't even go to Japan.
** In the movie Bond and Wai Lin are intercepted by Carver's mooks in the South China Sea and taken to his Saigon offices; in the game however Bond actually infiltrates the Saigon office himself, only to get captured in the process.
* AscendedExtra: There is a brief mention of a Japanese bio-terrorist named Satoshi Isagura in the beginning of the movie, being responsible for a nerve gas attack in Tokyo. In the game, he commits a second attack in Yokohama, and James Bond has to infiltrate his lair in Hokkaido and take him down.
* ArtificialStupidity: This glitch can help you a lot during the second Boss battle against Satoshi Isagura; you confront him in a small bunker with large pillars in the middle, and Satoshi's secondary attack consists of him hurling poisonous gasbombs at you. You can actually trick him into throwing those bombs while standing too close to one of the pillars, where the bombs then hilariously blows up right in his face and damage him instead.
* AdaptationalBadass:
** Dr. Kaufman in the movie gets tricked into stunning himself by Bond and was immediately killed. In the game, however, he is the first boss and takes several shots to take down, as well as being capable of throwing knives at Bond with deadly accuracy.
** Elliot Carver in the movie spends his last moments screaming for his life while the sea drill grinds him up. In the game he is capable of shooting back at Bond and puts up a fight.
** This happens to ActionGirl Wai Lin, of all people; in the movie she's played by the impressive Creator/MichelleYeoh who gets to kick plenty of ass, but in the game she gets to battle an army helicopter!
* BottomlessMagazines: Your default PPK-7.
* ChaseScene: There are levels with chase scenes on foot, on skis, and on vehicle.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: The enemies in this game can aim and fire their sniper rifles faster than you can. On 007 Difficulty, this leads to very quick deaths.
* CutsceneIncompetence: During the Saigon office infiltration, after battling and defeating more than twenty mooks, Bond enters an office... where he gets knocked out from behind by a stray mook. In an unskippable cutscene.
* DemotedToExtra: Stamper in the video game doesn't even have any lines, and only debuts halfway through the final level as a boss. You simply defeat him and move on, he doesn't even come back for a PostFinalBoss confrontation unlike in the movie.
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Stamper in the movie gets blown up, while Carver gets chewed by his own sea drill. In the game you simply gun them down.
* FlunkyBoss: Dr. Kaufman, the military commander in Saigon, and Carver himself.
* GetBackHereBoss: The first boss, Dr. Kaufman. When his life is getting low he will try to flee by making his way to the ballroom's elevator, and you need to chase him and take him down.
* KnifeNut: Dr. Kaufman, surprisingly. In the movie he's mentioned as being a expert in torture using knives; the game took this statement and runs with it, turning him into a knife-chucking badass.
* OnlySixFaces: The nameless mooks you fight throughout the game. They ALL use the same character model, recycled again and again, the only difference being clothing or weapons used.
* RailingKill: In the first level, there are Russian soldiers stationed on top of towers which will fire at you from a distance. Shoot them down from ground level (preferably with the Sniper rifle) and they will fall over two hundred metres to their deaths.
* ShoutOut:
** In the end of the first level, as Bond makes a flip off a snowy cliff after a lengthy ski chase, he then proceeds to eject a Union Jack parachute as a quick getaway. Much like the opening scene of ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe''.
* SparedByTheAdaptation:
** Paris Carver doesn't die in the video game, in fact it is essential in the Hotel Atlantic level to get her out alive.
** Due to being AdaptedOut and his role being reduced to TheGhost, Henry Gupta's fate is ambiguous in the game.
* SentryGun: These will provide quite a lot of problems in the Saigon level.
* StuffBlowingUp: Loads and loads of it, including propane tanks, gas canisters, oil drums...
* TitleDrop: Elliot Carver's last words: "Tomorrow Never Dies!"
* TrialAndErrorGameplay: If you played the game without watching the movie, you're going to have a hard time trying to locate the secret decoder in the Hamburg printing plant level. It's located behind a hidden panel which can be revealed by pushing a shelf, just like in the movie.
* TwoShotsFromBehindTheBar: Mook bartenders in the Hotel Atlantic level. One of them tries to hold you at gunpoint with a pistol, and three others will join the fray. They also count as [[UniqueEnemy Unique Enemies]] though, showing up only in the bar area and nowhere else in the level.
* ZeroEffortBoss: If you save at least 4 rounds in the Grenade Launcher for Elliot Carver, the FinalBoss becomes a laughable piece of cake as Carver can be taken down in less than 5 seconds.[[note]] This method isn't always guaranteed to work as Carver can sometimes shrug off a grenade round with only a pitiful amount of health loss due to currently unknown factors.[[/note]]
