On January 3rd, 2013, Activision pulled the PC version of ''007: Legends'' from {{Steam}} as well as their own online store. As a result, [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes it is effectively impossible to buy the PC version of the game from a legitimate source]], with the only practical options being either pirating the game, or buying from a grey market source (i.e. ebay sellers) who probably obtained it via piracy.

* AwesomeButPractical: Bond's smartphone is capable of taking photographs, hacking computers and locks, and (when [=MI6=] upgrades the firmware) tracing for gas emissions.

''[[Film/JamesBond 007]] Legends'' is a FirstPersonShooter video game released in 2012, developed by Eurocom and published by {{Activision}} for the {{Xbox 360}} / {{PS3}} / WiiU, which follows the exploits of JamesBond (the Creator/DanielCraig incarnation) in six of the secret agent's past adventures.

** Felix Leiter is portrayed and voiced by Demetri Goritsas, a Caucasian actor, yet in ''Film/QuantumOfSolace'', Leiter was played by Jeffrey Wright, an African-American actor.

* TheOtherDarrin: Most characters are based on their film portrayals, with the exception of four characters. Blofeld is an amalgamation of his three film appearances in the series (and is voiced by Glenn Wrage), Jinx is based off of Gabriela Montaraz (the woman who was initially set to play the character in ''Film/DieAnotherDay'') and Holly Goodhead is based off of (and voiced by) the actress Jane Perry. In addition, Bond is voiced by Timothy Watson instead of Creator/DanielCraig.

* ElevatorAction: The Space Port level from ''Film/{{Moonraker}}'' has one, unusually for a FirstPersonShooter.

* AKA47: The weapon system is similar to the one found in ''VideoGame/GoldeneyeWii'', with many of the weapons having similar names to their real-life counterparts.

* AwesomeButPractical: Bond's smartphone is capable of taking photographs, hacking computers and locks, and (when MI6 upgrades the firmware) tracing for gas emissions.

* ContinuityLockout: The game relies '''heavily''' on the player's knowledge of the prior Bond films, and introduces each mission with little to no setup whatsoever, meaning that if you haven't seen the films, you'll be confused about the characters and situations involved in each mission.

* EscortMission: One in almost every chapter, including escorting Pussy Galore in the ''Goldfinger'' mission, and Teresa (and her father) in the ''OHMSS'' mission.

* TheNameIsBondJamesBond: Oddly averted. In the first ''Goldfinger'' mission, Pussy Galore begins to ask "Your name is...?" before he cuts her off with a curt "James Bond."

* ShootOutTheLock: Weapon crates must be opened by shooting off the lock.

* SplitScreen: The multiplayer mode notably features this.

* WireDilemma: Averted, just like [[{{Film/Goldfinger}} the film]] itself (where a technician switches the bomb off for Bond). Felix informs Bond that he better make sure what wire to pull. Bond then pulls a red wire, stopping the countdown completely.

* TheComputerIsaCheatingBastard: Whenever the AI isn't being stupid, it'll do things like have targets drive through cars and trees during chase scenes without crashing or sic obstacles to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=xyilTkf0IbU#t=435s sandwich you]] leaving you nowhere to go but crash and fail the chase sequences because the target got away.

* 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, [[ForYourEyesOnly being dropped down a chimney doesn't seem that bad]].]]

Set during the events of ''{{Film/Skyfall}}'', Bond (voiced by [[TheOtherDarrin Timothy Watson]]) is shot by an MI6 sniper 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.

* RecursiveAdaptation: Many of the game's costumes, levels, and set piece action sequences strongly resemble those from Monolith's ''NoOneLivesForever'', which was itself an AffectionateParody of the "groovy 60's" era of James Bond.

* CallingTheOldWomanOut: Subverted. In the ''Skyfall'' DLC, unlike the film, Bond accepts that M had to give the order to shoot him when he was on top of the train in Istanbul.

A DownloadableContent mission, based off of ''{{Film/Skyfall}}'', will be released on November 9, 2012 to coincide with the film itself.

* AdaptationDistillation: In spades. In addition to having Craig appear in a modern retelling of the classic Bond stories, Blofeld is based on an amalgamation of the three actors (Donald Pleasance, Telly Savalas and Charles Gray) who played him in the films, and several stories have slightly different outcomes (e.g. in the ''Licence to Kill'' chapter, Felix does not get his leg eaten by a shark).
* AdaptationExpansion: The revisiting of the classic films allowed the developers the ability to add new encounters during the missions, including Bond and Leiter using RPG's to take out a laser cannon outside of Fort Knox in the ''Goldfinger'' mission, and Bond using a minigun to take out Blofeld's troops in the ''OHMSS'' mission, to name two.

* DoomedByCanon: [[spoiler:Tracy Vicenzo]], of course. What, you didn't think [[spoiler:she and Bond were going to stay married]], were you?

* {{Hammerspace}}: When Leiter rescues Bond at Fort Knox, he gives you an assault rifle (not the one he was carrying) that he seemingly pulls right out of his back.

* NoEnding: Bond (and Holly) get ready to make their escape from Hugo Drax's space station...and then the credits roll. The framing device set up in the prologue is never resolved (and will presumably be finished once the DLC is released).

* TheOtherDarrin: Most characters are based on their film portrayals, with the exception of four characters. Blofeld is an amalgamation of his three film appearances in the series (and is voiced by Glenn Wrage), Jinx is based off of Gabriela Montaraz (the woman who was initially set to play the character in ''Film/DieAnotherDay'') and Holly Goodhead is based off of (and voiced by) the actress Jane Perry.

* AllStarCast: Several high-profile actors reprise the roles of their characters, including JudiDench (M), Rory Kinnear (Bill Tanner), Michael Lonsdale ([[Film/Moonraker Hugo Drax]]), Carey Lowell ([[Film/LicenceToKill Pam Bouvier]]), Toby Stephens ([[Film/DieAnotherDay Gustav Graves]]) and Richard Kiel ([[Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe Jaws]]).

* TheCavalry: Much like the movie, after Bond is escorted off the plane in front of Fort Knox in the Goldfinger mission, the group is besieged by Felix Leiter and a group of CIA operatives HiddenInPlainSight.

* WireDilemma: Averted, just like [[Film/Goldfinger the film]] itself (where a technician switches the bomb off for Bond). Felix informs Bond that he better make sure what wire to pull, and the latter pulls a red wire, stopping the countdown completely.

* CutsceneBoss: All of the bosses (and several enemy henchmen) in the game are subject to this. Hugo Drax in particular stands out as, unlike all of the other main villains, you don't even fight him in a [[PressXNotToDie quicktime event fistfight]]. Bond just straight-up kills him in the final cutscene without a fight.

* CutsceneBoss: All of the bosses (and several enemy henchmen) in the game are subject to this.

* InkSuitedActor: All of the AllStarCast's voice actors have the same in-game likenesses.

The game was developed primarily to celebrate [[MilestoneCelebration 50 years of the Bond character in film]], and features one film from each actor (SeanConnery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, TimothyDalton, 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 Craig, JudiDench and a wide selection of past and present actors in the series, along with a split-screen multiplayer mode.
