The World Is Not Enough is a first-person shooter video game based on the James Bond film of the same name. The game was published by Electronic Arts and released for the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation console systems in 2000. The Nintendo 64 version was developed by Eurocom and the PlayStation version was developed by Black Ops. Black Ops had previously developed the James Bond game Tomorrow Never Dies. Eurocom would later go on in 2002 to develop the Bond game Nightfire. Versions of The World Is Not Enough for the PC and the PlayStation 2 were planned for release in 2000, but cancelled. These aforementioned versions would have used the Quake III Arena engine.
Coming off the failure of the previous Bond game, Tomorrow Never Dies, it was decided that The World Is Not Enough would go back to its roots as a first-person shooter, popularized by the success of the Bond game GoldenEye 007. In the Nintendo 64 version, it would also see the reintroduction of the multiplayer portion of the game that gave GoldenEye 007 such a lasting appeal.

[edit] Missions
The game closely follows the storyline of the movie, with minor differences. The missions are (N64 version):
- Courier
- King's Ransom
- Thames Chase
- Underground Uprising
- Cold Reception
- Night Watch
- Midnight Departure
- Masquerade
- City of Walkways I
- City of Walkways II
- Turncoat
- Fallen Angel
- A Sinking Feeling
- Meltdown
In addition, with GameShark, players can unlock two additional levels: one dubbed "Crate Yard" and the other "Subterranea." Crate Yard appears to be an early test level, and Subterranea is likely a mission once intended to go between "Fallen Angel" and "A Sinking Feeling."
The PlayStation version had only 11 missions: "Thames Chase, "Underground Uprising, "Midnight Departure" and "A Sinking Feeling" were not present, and "City of Walkways" was only one mission. Between "Cold Reception" and "Night Watch" there was a mission called "Russian Roulette", in which the player must play a game of Blackjack to get information about Renard off Zukovsky.
