Tomorrow Never Dies (also known as 007: Tomorrow Never Dies) is a third-person shooter based on the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies. Developed by Black Ops and published by Electronic Arts, it was released on November 16, 1999 exclusively for the Sony PlayStation. It is the first 007 game of many that was published by Electronic Arts since acquiring the James Bond licence. This game marks the fourth appearance of Pierce Brosnan's James Bond, although the voice of Bond is provided by actor Adam Blackwood in the game.
Tomorrow Never Dies came on the heels of 1997's hit Bond game, GoldenEye 007 for the Nintendo 64 console system. Often hailed as one of the best first-person shooters for a console, GoldenEye was critically acclaimed for redefining the first-person shooter genre and popularizing multiplayer gaming on a console. After the success of GoldenEye 007, the James Bond licence was picked up by Electronic Arts. Tomorrow Never Dies broke away from the gameplay that made GoldenEye 007 a success by choosing to make a third-person shooter and by leaving out a multiplayer portion of the game. The game was met with only average reviews and currently sits on GameStats with a 5.9 rating. After this title, another third-person shooter based on the Bond franchise was not created until 2004 with Everything or Nothing.
