definite 10
Nice graphics, a little busy at times and sort of clashing, but overall a good effort done with style.
The sound I felt was a little lacking. Aside from the Bond theme and the screams of the slain there was little else that grabbed me.
As far as gameplay is concerned, the first two stages *are* pretty damn hard, and the last leg of the game was easier than I would have expected. Seems to me that's a little backwards from standard video game progression. I have to give it to you, though, that it's an addicting game... I kept at it, and once I got myself into a rhythm it was no problem coasting through the levels and up the stairwell.
