Introduction

007 Racing: the game that asks, 'What if James Bond used his license to thrill to create the world's slowest car chase game?' This 2000 masterpiece is the perfect blend of British spy clichés and outdated graphics—because who doesn’t like a dash of nostalgia with their disappointment?

Gameplay

In 007 Racing, you leap into the shoes of everyone's favorite martini-sipping secret agent, James Bond. You get to drive an assortment of his iconic vehicles, ranging from the classic Aston Martin DB5 to... well, more cars that you probably won't remember. Spoiler alert: every car has gadgets because who doesn’t need a parachute in their sedan? The gameplay is a mix of racing and mission-based objectives that would make anyone nostalgic for the year 2000. Missions range from racing against other cars to dodging explosions (because every Bond movie needs explosions, right?). But don't get too excited, because the overly complicated controls make going straight an Olympic sport. Expect to spend most of your time misshaping corners that are sharper than a double-crossing Bond villain's grin.

Graphics

The graphics? Oh, bless them. Let's just say if the game were a person, you'd only want to meet in a dark alley under low light conditions. The cars look like they were imported from the late '90s, and I'd swear that backgrounds have fewer polygons than a slow day in a coloring book. The only thing shinier than the poorly rendered vehicles is your future when you realize there are better driving games out there that won’t make your eyes bleed.

Conclusion

In conclusion, 007 Racing is like a day-old sandwich you find in the back of your fridge—surprisingly full of potential if you’re desperate enough, but you can't help but wonder if you might regret that decision. With mixed reviews splattered across the internet like cheap cologne at a bachelor party, it might be better suited as a rental than a purchase. If you’re a die-hard Bond fan and are itching to drive around sub-par graphics while earning your best driving license, then by all means, buckle up. But for the rest of us? There are better ways to chase down your after-school adrenaline fix. Try literally anything else; you’ll thank yourself later.
