Summary
007 Racing lets you slip behind the wheel of James Bond’s most famous rides, from the classic Aston Martin DB5 to the sleek BMW Z8. Each vehicle comes packed with the gadgetry you’d expect from Q‑Branch – mines, rockets, lasers and even smokescreens – turning a standard race into a high‑octane spy showdown. The single‑player missions range from simple fetch‑and‑escape tasks to elaborate, weapon‑laden assaults that demand both driving skill and a bit of tactical flair. When the solo grind gets stale, the game switches to multiplayer where you can either blow the rival’s car to pieces or play the frantic "Pass the Bomb" mode, tossing a ticking explosive back and forth until one driver detonates. All of this is wrapped in a familiar PlayStation feel, using a tweaked Le Mans engine that gives the cars a surprisingly solid sense of weight despite the over‑the‑top gadgetry.
Storyline
In 007 Racing, a high‑ranking European diplomat and businessman plots to hijack a NATO weapons shipment and smuggle the armaments inside cars rolling off his factories. Bond’s adventure begins with a rescue of Cherise Litte from an Eastern European country in his Aston Martin DB5, after which M briefs him on a freighter carrying laser‑guided missiles, GPS tech and a Q‑equipped BMW 750iL that was intercepted in the Labrador Sea.
The mission sends Bond to New York, where CIA ally Jack Wade warns him of a bomb planted on his car; Bond jettisons the vehicle into the Hudson River and then tracks down an EMP device, destroying ten computers at a distribution centre before intercepting a car transporter with his Aston Martin. He later heads to Mexico in a BMW Z3, interrogates the henchman Whisper, and discovers that Dr Hammond Litte – Cherise’s father – is the mastermind behind the scheme.
After a high‑speed race against Xenia Onatopp’s Ferrari F355, Bond is captured in Louisiana, escapes, recovers a stolen BMW and destroys Jaws’ boat. Back in New York he downloads data from four limousines using a BMW Z8, learning that Litte plans to unleash a deadly virus.
The final leg takes Bond to the Baltic Sea in a Lotus Esprit, where he infiltrates an underwater base and destroys the aircraft transporting the virus, putting an end to the villain’s plot.
