The importance of casinos in 007: Legends on the Wii U

June 2nd, 2015, 17:35 Posted By: wraggster

007 Legends on the Wii U is a shooter type game in which the player gets to take on the role of secret agent James Bond. Developed by Eurocom, the Wii version was released just before Christmas 2012 ensuring that it filled many Christmas stockings that year for the 007 fans.

The game was released to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the first James Bond movie. During this time there have been five different actors who have played James Bond; can you name them? They were, in chronological order, Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and finally Daniel Craig.

When you play the game you act out a mission based on a movie that starred each of these actors. The missions are taken from Goldfinger, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Moonraker, Licence to Kill, Die Another Day, and Skyfall. It is a multiplayer game and you can split the screen four ways when playing locally and when playing online it can support up to twelve players.

The story line begins with Bond being shot with his life hanging in the balance, and memories of his past flash across his brain. These memories form the basis of the missions that the players must enact.
Casinos are implied rather than being used overtly, unfortunately you don’t get to play any games you can play at casino online, though the game would be more interesting if you did. For instance the casino scene in Dr No when Bond first introduced himself as “Bond; James Bond” would have set the scene, and of course those great casino scenes in Casino Royal could have been used in the game play. Even the scene from On Her Majesty's Secret Service when Bond is paying cards and Dianna Rigg turns up would have added some zest. But then you can’t have it all.
