Gameplay & Core Systems

Sometimes Bond can also use stealth or hand-to-hand combat, which are basically quick-time events where players needs to press a displayed button in a limited time to dispatch a foe. Special tasks can be performed with gadgets, e.g. the laser watch or a small remote-controlled helicopter. This procedure gets spiced up with occasional driving or new jet pack sequences.
