007 World Is Not Enough is based on the 1999 James Bond film of the same name. In it, Pierce Brosnan's Bond must investigate the murder of a British oil tycoon and attacks on his new pipeline, which leads to a larger sinister plot requiring gunplay and frequent flier miles to diffuse.
The gameplay follows a straightforward action-adventure style, with an emphasis on shooting and exploration. The game features a 2D overhead view, with players controlling Bond as he navigates through eight missions to uncover the truth behind the conspiracy. With no multiplayer, difficulty levels, or save feature, players must rely on passwords to progress.
