''007: From Russia with Love'' is a 2005 ThirdPersonShooter adaptation of the second Film/JamesBond film ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'' for UsefulNotes/TheSixthGenerationOfConsoleVideoGames, featuring Creator/SeanConnery reprising the role of Franchise/JamesBond for the first time since ''Film/NeverSayNeverAgain'' (and for the last time as well). It's also the last Bond video game to be made by Creator/ElectronicArts before they lost the license to Creator/{{Activision}}.

It made several expansions and changes to the source material, arguably the biggest being the replacement of SPECTRE with OCTOPUS [[ScrewedByTheLawyers due to a long-running legal dispute regarding]] ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'s'' [[ScrewedByTheLawyers film rights]]. The resulting game had mixed reviews with the best being for the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube GameCube]] version.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Eva meets her end attempting to ram 007 with a fighter jet and slamming into the runway's blast door, with a surprised look on her face. Given the door was always closed, she'd have died anyway even if she had managed to hit Bond, so one wonders what her plan was.

You can use heavy weapons if you can get them, but the more efficient solution is to shoot their armor off by [[ImprobableAimingSkills aiming at the straps]].

In-story, Grant survives [[spoiler: being shot multiple times by 007, being run over by a train (he presumably lay down between the tracks to dodge the wheels), and having the Octopus defense system he was piloting blow up with him inside it. 007 has to personally shoot him in the head to make sure he's dead.]]
