Hype and Release

Tomorrow Never Dies came on the heels of one of the greatest first person shooters, Goldeneye 007. Acclaimed as one of best shooting games on its era, Electronic Arts wanted to try a new approach to the genre, to eliminate comparison between the two games. They eliminated multiplayer completely and turned it towards the third person shooting genre. This decision was met with average reviews and only recieved a 5.9 average rating on GameStats. After this failure a third person title in the Bond franchise was not attempted until 2004.
