Blood Stone 007 on DS

Blood Stone 007 Screen Shots

Blood Stone 007 is a Shooting game available on the DS. It can be played in Singleplayer Firstperson modes.

Blood Stone 007 is a Shooting game. Shooting games present a world in which the character must shoot their way out of dangerous situations. They provide the player with an array of weapons tailored to specific tasks. This unavoidably involves a combination of fisticuffs and gun based fighting that dictates the violent nature of these experiences. Beneath this harsh exterior though is often an intricate tactile game - and this is usually what drives the player.

Blood Stone 007 can be played in a Singleplayer mode. Single Player Campaign games focus on one player's experience. Rather than collaborate with other players either locally or online, players progress alone. The campaign style of gameplay offers a connected series of challenges to play through. These chapters work together to tell a story through which players progress. Single player games are able to focus on one experience of a scenario, so that it is usually a richer, more visceral game.

Blood Stone 007 can be played in a Firstperson mode. First Person games view the world from the eyes of the in-game character. You don't see the character themselves apart from their hands, gun or possibly feet as in Mirror's Edge. Because of the imediacy of the experience and sheer volume of visual information the player is offered First Person games lend themselves to the shooting genre. The FPS view enables players to immerse themselves in the experience and react quicker to events in the game. Other games have used a first person view to deliver an unusual perspective on an old genre - Mirror's Edge for example delivers a Platforming genre through a First Person view.

Family Gamer review Fri, 26 Nov 2010

Blood Stone DS adds a plausible cover and melee system while romping through waves of enemies. Variety and sheer fun create a surprisingly robust alternative to other shooting games on the DS.

Blood Stone is an original James Bond story from the same author as GoldenEye. As well as being available on the bigger consoles, the DS version offers a mix of shooting and driving sections from the developers (N Space) who have also recently released GoldenEye 007 (DS) and Call of Duty Black Ops (DS).
