If they handle Goldeneye right it could be a really great game. Pretty much all Bond not as a fanboy of that (like it, but not mindless over it) have been shittier. They overcomplicated things, added lame gimmicks, and the driving in all of them EA did were shit. The Connery one was the only decent of the lot oddly enough. If this one just uses a nicer coat of paint, more fleshed out story bridge moments, perhaps keeps the stages fairly similar to the original and keeps it a straight shooter with the minor toys (the watch) the N64 game had it could come off really damn good.
But I think the bigger thing is, will the rabid lovers of said game just find any reason to give it the finger or at least whine about it.
