Everything or Nothing is the second Bond game played in the third-person and is the first Bond game to feature a two-player cooperative mode. However, unlike its modern predecessors, Everything or Nothing lacks a true deathmatch multiplayer mode, a popular staple in Bond games since 1997's GoldenEye 007.

For the first time in any James Bond game, Electronic Arts hired many actors to model the characters after as well as for their voice talents. In addition to Pierce Brosnan, this includes Judi Dench and John Cleese from previous Bond films and adds well-known actors Willem Dafoe, Shannon Elizabeth, and Heidi Klum, including classical 007 actor Richard Kiel who played Jaws in the classical 007 films returns to reprise his role as Jaws. Everything or Nothing is also the second James Bond game to have its own original theme song but the first to be sung by a well-known singer: R&B artist Mya, who also has a part as a Bond girl in the game. The soundtrack was composed by Sean Callery, best known for television's 24 and Nikita. The soundtrack features a new rendition of the famed James Bond music by Callery.

The game was written by screenwriter Bruce Feirstein, who also wrote the Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies and co-scripted the Bond films GoldenEye and The World Is Not Enough.

Everything or Nothing includes 29 missions as well as 4 unlockable bonus missions, numerous gadgets supplied by Q and the return of the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish from the 2002 film Die Another Day.

James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing opens in the mountains of Tajikistan where an arms trade is about to begin. The merchandise is a nuclear suitcase-bomb that was stolen from a stockpile of old Soviet Union weapons. James Bond is tasked with making sure that the trade is not completed. After Bond completes the mission, he is extracted by a helicopter outside of the military base.

Afterwards, a Russian female scientist, named Dr. Katya Nadanova, of the Oxford Department of nanotechnology is kidnapped by a terrorist cell and is taken to their headquarters in southern Egypt. Her invention, a new kind of nanotechnology used to enter electrical wires and repair damage at microscopic level, is also stolen. James Bond is once again called in to action. He destroys the stolen technology and chases after the terrorist's train managing to board stealthfully. Aboard. henchmen continue to attack Bond. Bond has a confrontation with his old enemy: Jaws. The two fight, and Bond wins after electrocuting the assassin. Arriving at an helipad-vagon, Bond sees Nadanova handcuffed to the vagon. The general escapes by helicopter with the nano-technology and blows up a bridge, putting Bond and Nadanova into a trap. But there's still a helicopter, so they manage to escape before the train falls down the valley. They fly through the Valley of the Kings until Bond finally shoots the general down, destroying the nano prototypes.

Bond drops Katya off at a nearby military complex, although unbeknownst to Bond, Katya meets with a Russian ex-KGB special officer turned businessman, named Nikolai Diavolo - the former protege of Max Zorin. During the meeting Katya delivers a small vial containing the few remaining nanorobots to Diavolo. Diavolo says that with them, he will get everything. Or nothing. It is also learned that Jaws, in his typical fashion, survived the train crash.

Later, MI6 loses contact with 003, sent to investigate the mining of newly-discovered platinum reserves in western Peru. Bond is sent to a town on the Northwestern Peruvian coastline, located high above the Pacific Ocean on a series of cliffs. Bond learns that 003's last contact was with an American geologist named Serena St. Germaine. They meet and she takes him to the mining complex near ancient Incan ruins.

Once there, Bond discovers 003 had been violently questioned by Nikolai Diavolo. Bond makes himself known to Diavolo and after shooting 003, Diavolo orders the guards to chase him through the mining complex and ruins. When Bond reaches 003 he tells Bond that Diavolo sets his plans in New Orleans but dies. At the end of the mining tunnels, Bond reaches a cliff where a helicopter appears with Katya Nadanova in it, holding Serena over the edge. She throws Serena out of the copter, and Bond dives off the cliff after her. Dodging obstacles and enemy fire, he finally catches Serena and fires a grappling hook into the cliff wall.

After escaping in a tank and returning to the town, Bond and Serena are met with military forces who are being paid off by Diavolo to protect him. Bond quickly returns Serena to 003's hidden cottage in the dense forest, and goes on to reach the extraction point. Bond drives 003's motorcycle into a moving plane just as the military catches up with him.

MI6 had learned that Diavolo had employed an Interpol-sought war criminal named Arkady Yayakov. Yayakov secretly owns a night club in New Orleans along with the local crime ring. Bond goes to New Orleans during Mardi Gras and stealthfully enters the night club where he meets Mya Starling, a National Security Agency agent assigned to spy on Yayakov.

Chaos erupts when Bond enters the main lounge of the club and Agent Starling's cover is blown. Yayakov kidnaps the NSA agent and leaves the club. Bond fights the thugs and chases Yayakov through an underground tunnel system that was used to traffic drugs and suchlike.

Yayakov, Starling and Bond arrive in a gigantic 19th century graveyard. Yayakov hands over Agent Starling to Jean Le Rouge, a local mobster who ties up Starling. Le Rouge and Bond run through the graveyard until they reach a crematorium where they have the final fight. Bond kills Le Rouge and saves Starling. After destroying Diavolo's base in New Orleans, Bond returns Starling to her apartment.

Bond is then sent to a remote area further north outside of New Orleans. At a secret lab inside an old, run-down plantation, Bond discovers that Diavolo is using Yayakov to manipulate the purpose of Dr. Nadanova's microtechnology. They have managed to create a brand new weapon of mass destruction: nanobots, infused with a natural chemical compound found only in the bayous of Louisiana, that literally eats away at all kinds of metal - save for platinum.

Bond destroys the lab, killing Yayakov in the process but Jaws suddenly appears and smashes through the old plantation, driving a platinum tanker truck filled with the metal-eating nanobots. Jaws' orders are to crash the truck into the levees that surround New Orleans and let the nanobots go to work destroying the levees, thus flooding New Orleans. Bond hops onto a motorcycle and chases Jaws across the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway and use his flamethrowers to melt Jaw's tires, making the truck slide off the bridge and into the lake below.

Later, MI6 learns that the operation in New Orleans was meant to be a test run for the metal-eating nanobots. James Bond returns to Peru to investigate what Diavolo plans to do with his new weapon. With the help of Serena St. Germaine, Bond infiltrates Diavolo's personal estate and covertly enters himself in a rally car race. The reward for coming in at first place is dinner with Diavolo. Naturally, Bond wins.

However, Diavolo has already caught on to Bond's snooping around, and has both Bond and Serena captured. Bond breaks loose and manages to rescue Serena, killing a large number of Diavolo's henchmen in the process. Back together, Bond and Serena escape through the front door only to be outgunned and out numbered. Bond then detonated the Porsche Cayenne. The only way to escape was to hijack one of the rally cars and speed through town. Bond wants to see Diavolo's platinum mines first-hand so he took his Q-bike to the rooftops of Peru and entered the mines.

Once inside, he is tranquilized by Nadanova who ties him up and places him into one of Diavolo's traps. Diavolo tells Bond that he plans on using his metal-eating WMD's to destroy those who destroyed his Soviet homeland. Bond manages to escape both the trap and the mine, destroying it in the process. Leaping through a hole in the rock where Serena is waiting in a helicopter, he manages to get on board just as the entrance is destroyed.

Now in Russia, Diavolo has started his Platinum War. He is using his platinum army to break through the Kremlin and release toxic gas into it. Bond knocks out one of Diavolo's soldiers and hijacks a tank. He arrives at Red Square where numerous tanks are occupying the Square. After taking down a significant number of Diavolo's ground forces, Bond breaks into man-made caverns under the Red Square, and manages to destroy the canisters with the toxic gas. Afterwards he weakens the columns that support the Red Square. He returns to the surface to deal with the last of Diavolo's tanks. By using his Nanobots on a helicopter carrying a statue of Diavolo he manages to defeat all of the remaining tanks.

After foiling Diavalo's plan, Bond finds out that there is a decommissioned nuclear bunker under the Kremlin, and there, Diavolo has replaced the nuclear warheads on the missiles with payloads of his metal-eating microtechnology.

After Bond rappels down a large elevator shaft filled with Lasers, Jaws attacks him using a flamethrower but Bond disables it and then escapes as the damaged elevator tumbles and explodes down the shaft. Jaws does not appear again, but his body is not seen in the elevator wreckage, so whether he survived or not is unclear.

Once in the lower levels of the bunker, Bond manages to deactivate all the missiles in the control room. While returning to the surface, Diavolo and Nadanova attack Bond in an Yak-38 Forger VTOL jet. Bond shoots it down, it lands on the elevator platform, and the nanobots dissolve the platform, causing the plane to fall to the bottom of the shaft. The aircraft explodes, killing Nadanova, but Diavolo ejects just in time. Bond soon realizes that Diavolo is not dead when a manual override takes over the bunker.

Diavolo beats Bond to one final missile and begins to launch it manually, targeting London. After fighting his way through Diavolo's army of men, Bond makes it to the launch pad. There Bond kills Diavolo, firing a rocket at Diavolo's control hub. Before dying, Diavolo manages to press the launch button and is thrust into the missile silo just as the missile takes off. Bond fires three more rockets at the lone missile loaded with the microtechnology, and it explodes in a huge fireball over Moscow.

Everything or Nothing's game engine evolved from the engine used in Agent Under Fire. Like its predecessor, the driving sections were developed using a separate engine by EA Canada. Erik Strickland and Louis Gascoigne were the lead engineers on the 3rd person action portion of the game.

Mya's title song is equal to Madonna's "Die Another Day" in the fact that three different versions exist: "Everything or Nothing" has the main version, a Jazz version that plays when Bond is visiting the Kiss Kiss Club in New Orleans, and a techno version that plays over the end credits and during the bonus training missions; "Die Another Day" has the main version, a Dirty Vegas remix for the end credits of the film and a Deepsky Edit (which was not featured in the film). Mya and Madonna are also the only two artists to perform a Bond song and appear in their respective Bond projects: Mya plays NSA Agent Mya Starling in Everything or Nothing while Madonna plays fencing coach Verity in Die Another Day. While Sheena Easton, who performed For Your Eyes Only appears in the main titles, she does not feature in the film itself.

The game received high praise from some quarters, some critics calling it "the Bond movie for 2004" due in part to its high production values. Gamespot gave it an 8.8, calling it "a really great game, perhaps the best James Bond game ever made".^[1] IGN said "EA shakes things up and gives us a fresh new perspective on how good Bond can be."^[2] The game has an 84% ranking on MetaCritic.^[3]
