Jaws Virtually Returns For Bond Game

Posted by simoniker on from the faded-movie-stars-are-new-game-stars dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to the Gamerfeed report that reveals the full cast for EA's next Bond videogame, James Bond 007 : Everything or Nothing. In keeping with their already-announced casting of the real Shannon Elizabeth as a virtual Bond girl, they've also announced that Pierce Brosnan will again return as Bond, Willem Dafoe will be the virtual bad guy, Heidi Klum the virtual Eastern European bad girl, and John Cleese and Dame Judi Dench will be reprising their regular movie roles. Finally, and best of all, Richard Kiel's metal-toothed bad guy Jaws will be making a re-appearance (after his secret character unlock in the Goldeneye game), something that would be impossible in the real movie series due to Kiel's advancing age.

    As every Goldeneye player knows, Jaws is very tall and gleamingly white. Also know as a sitting duck. Who we want back is the short and black clad Oddjob. Besides, Jaws was the stereotypical Big Dumb Guy, who ultimately betrays his master. Oddjob, one the other hand, had style, finesse, a cool hat, and died in the service of Goldfinger. What more could you want from a Henchman?

      ...and died in the service of Goldfinger.

      Thus neatly stating a major reason to not bring him back in a later game.

      Now, make a Goldfinger game, and I'm there!
