  • Complete Monster: Hammond Litte is a supposedly benevolent humanitarian who in reality wants to control the world by the most nefarious means possible. Hammond has a ship carrying a potent strain of anthrax seized and its crew massacred with the intention of dispersing it worldwide. Only a select few who have paid up the nose to be spared will survive; billions more will die, leaving most of humanity dead and the remainder for Hammond to rule. To keep Bond off his tail, Hammond rigs his car with a bomb wired to explode should Bond even once stop driving at full speed—all while Bond is in the middle of Manhattan, forcing Bond to endanger dozens of innocent civilians while trying to find a place to dispose of the bomb.
  • Questionable Casting: If you try really hard, you can sort of see the person voicing Bond was trying to do an impression of Pierce Brosnan's voice, but he ends up sounding more like an exaggerated parody of Donald Trump instead. Given that the same voice actor did a much more convincing Brosnan impersonation in The World Is Not Enough, maybe he was having an off day.
  • Spiritual Successor: The game can be seen as one to Spy Hunter, a spy-themed arcade game filled with driving missions. Ironically, Spy Hunter was inspired by the older Bond films, or as IGN puts it, "it's coming full circle".
