I finished the main story. It's one of the greatest Bond stories of the last 30 years! It was truly made by Bond fans for everyone, Bond fan or not. Some takeaways: Is this the first non-book or radio appearance of Loelia Ponsonby? When I first saw her, I knew that some Bond fans were in charge! I liked that M truly cared about Bond. None of this bickering that has truly weighted down the last several movies. Granted, that was what Greenway there for, but even that wasn't as bad as it could have been. It was nice to have a father and son be the villains for once in a Bond story. Damien Webb truly reminded me of Gustav Graves more than once, in terms of role and performance. Overall, the writing seemed so fresh in the game. I hope these writers come back for the next game. More of my opinions to come, but I think this game in particular is the shot in the arm James Bond as a whole needed. Hopefully, new fans have become hooked with Bond and his adventures. James Bond HAS returned to gaming, and we couldn't have asked for better. Hopefully, it will sell more copies than GE 007 N64, only because it deserves too. Also, I hope that this gets a novelization, because like Everything or Nothing and Bloodstone, nongamers deserve to enjoy this great story. First Light was worth the wait, I can't wait to see where it goes next. You could say that this is the "First Light" of promising Bond games to come.

Digging the game quite a bit so far. It's very TOMB RAIDER, and I mean that as a compliment.
Fellas, this is pretty great.
