James Bond 007: From Russia with Love is a 2005 third-person shooter video game developed by EA Redwood Shores and published by Electronic Arts featuring Ian Fleming's secret agent, James Bond, whose likeness and voice is that of Sean Connery. The game is based on the 1957 novel and the 1963 film of the same name.[1] The game follows the storyline of the book and film, but adds in new scenes to make the game more action-oriented and changes the affiliation of the main villains. Additionally, it features many elements of later Bond films to recreate the feel of the era such as the Aston Martin DB5 that debuted in Goldfinger (1964) and the jet pack from Thunderball (1965).[2]
From Russia with Love is also notable in that it is the only video game to use Sean Connery's younger likeness as James Bond and the first to include all new voice work by the actor after twenty-two years away from the role,[3] marking his eighth and final performance as Bond across any medium before his death in 2020. From Russia with Love is the last James Bond video game developed or published by Electronic Arts before they lost the rights to Activision in 2006.
