History VideoGame / DoubleOhSevenLegends

''007 Legends'' is a FirstPersonShooter video game released in 2012, developed by Eurocom and published by Creator/{{Activision}} for the UsefulNotes/XBox360 / UsefulNotes/{{PS3}} / UsefulNotes/WiiU, which follows the exploits of Film/JamesBond (the Creator/DanielCraig incarnation) in six of the secret agent's past adventures.

On January 3rd, 2013, Activision pulled the PC version of ''007: Legends'' from UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} as well as their own online store. Notably, this happened less than 3 months after the game was first released and before it ever showed up in a Steam sale, resulting in a relatively limited number of people ever having bought it. As a result of all this, the only legal way to get the PC version is to import it from Amazon Germany, with [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes the only other options]] being either pirating the game, or buying from a grey market source (i.e. Key resale sites or eBay sellers) who probably obtained it via piracy.

* AdaptationDistillation: In spades.

Set during the events of ''{{Film/Skyfall}}'', Bond (voiced by [[TheOtherDarrin Timothy Watson]]) is mistakenly shot by [=MI6=] sniper Eve during a confrontation with an enemy on top of a train in Istanbul, and falls into a river below. As he's sinking under the water, Bond flashes back to several key moments during the franchise's history, including sequences from the films ''{{Film/Goldfinger}}'', ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'', ''{{Film/Moonraker}}'', ''Film/LicenceToKill'' and ''Film/DieAnotherDay''. The game retells these incidents as an overarching narrative (using the Craig version of the character, similar to ''VideoGame/GoldeneyeWii'') that follows Bond's progression into an experienced secret agent.

* NewWorkRecycledGraphics: The game is built on the same engine as [[VideoGame/Goldeneye2010 the 2010 ''Goldeneye'' remake]], and uses many of the same weapons and other assets such as textures and animations.

* DisneyVillainDeath[=/=]NoOneCouldSurviveThat: In the ''OHMSS'' mission, [[spoiler: unlike the film where Blofeld smashes into a tree while chasing Bond on a snowmobile, in the game Bond throws him off a cable car and he plummets several hundred feet. Bond declares his status as "unknown, presumed killed". He of course still survives and returns to kill Tracy in the ending. Hell, after that, [[Film/ForYourEyesOnly being dropped down a chimney doesn't seem that bad]].]]

* ContinuityLockout: A large number of the missions begin midway through their respective film's plot, and it's clear that the developers expected that players would be very familiar with all of the source material. If you haven't seen the films, you'll likely be confused as to the parade of supporting characters coming in and out of missions, why the plot bounces around from locale to locale without any connecting threads, and how the game actually fits into continuity. (It was later rendered completely non-canon by ''Film/{{Spectre}}''.)
** In ''{{Film/Skyfall}}'', Bond chases Patrice because he stole a list of covert [=MI6=] operatives in Istanbul. In the DLC, Bond chases Patrice after learning he killed two agents, still gets shot off the train after M has a dilemma, and then somehow tracks him all the way to Shanghai with no explanation whatsoever (unlike the film, where Bond uses a depleted uranium bullet to find out more about him).

TheOneWith all the defining moments from the series.

The game was developed primarily to celebrate [[MilestoneCelebration 50 years of the Bond character in film]], and features one film from each actor (Creator/SeanConnery, Creator/GeorgeLazenby, Creator/RogerMoore, Creator/TimothyDalton, Creator/PierceBrosnan and Craig himself) who has portrayed the secret agent. Each film comprises two missions, which feature a variety of moments seen in the films, along with additional enemy encounters and gameplay mechanics that emphasize the use of many gadgets, including Bond's smartphone and wristwatch. The game also features voice acting from a wide selection of past and present actors in the series, including Creator/JudiDench, Richard Kiel, Creator/CareyLowell and others, along with a split-screen multiplayer mode.

* ContinuitySnarl:The Craig films have been established as in a separate time line to Dr No-Die Another Day. Here, the game attempts to bridge the classic films with the chronology of the rebooted franchise, at the expense of glaring continuity issues such as Felix Leiter is portrayed and voiced by Demetri Goritsas, a Caucasian actor, yet in ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006'' and ''Film/QuantumOfSolace'', Leiter was played by Jeffrey Wright, an African-American actor.
