Positive and negative

Positive

Nice array of stats and awardsLevelling up as standardLeaderboard functionNo disconnections experiencedMaps are nicely designed and varied (albeit limited amount of maps, see negative). There is a nice mix of inside/outside actionFive types of weapon with upgrades on each weaponMore unlock weapons as you level upOver the shoulder shooting system performs well, similar style to Resident Evil 5The cover system is easy to pick up, complimenting the tactical features of the matchesLength of games is just about rightCan change weapons when you are at base, you don't need to die to change your primary weaponVery much a welcome change from the typical shoot ' em up, i.e. there is a niche in the market for over the shoulder, third person cover based shoot ' em ups. It certainly works for Gears of War 2Can change your weapon loadout and character look

Negative

Only 6 maps on TDM and LMSOnly 2 maps on ObjectiveOnly 3 modesDifficult to find a game on Objective and LMSIf you're after a fast paced multiplayer shooter game in the Black Ops mould this isn't for youWould have been nice to have a killstreak system similar to Black Ops with Bond type gadgets e.g. exploding pens and Little NellGoldeneye 007 on the Wii is a more satisfying experience overall, despite the graphical limitations of the Nintendo console compared to PS3 and Xbox 360Although the maps are based on the Blood Stone game, it would still be nice to have some rentals from various Bond movies to play it as wellAlso given some of the parts of the gameplay in the game are based in vehicles (car, speedboating etc) why not integrate this into the multiplayer modes, like the Rallying in idea Halo ReachSometimes there is an ever so slight delay when firing a kill shot and it being recognised as a kill - in a cover based game like Blood Stone having instant kill notification is absolutely crucial. Stepping out of cover longer than is necessary can be fatal, therefore knowing if a shot is a kill shot rapidement is imperative. The slight time delay can lead to pursuing a kill longer than is necessary, thus opening yourself up to counter kills as you are outside of cover
