DS version
The DS game is viewed from a third-person isometric perspective, but switches to an over-the-shoulder view during melee attacks.[13][14] Gameplay is mostly controlled with the console's touchscreen, which is used to guide Bond around, as well as to aim and shoot at enemies.[14][15] Bond can jump at predetermined sections in the game.[16]
Scattered throughout each level are various items, including casino chips and cards, which can be used to upgrade abilities. Cards can be equipped in different orders to enhance abilities with varying effects, depending on what poker hands are formed. Chips are used to purchase upgrades such as better aiming.[14][16][17]
The DS version follows an altered storyline compared with the other games. The character of Camille is cut altogether, the opening mission at White's Estate is replaced by a training simulation at MI6 Headquarters and, after fighting street gangs in Bolivia, the final mission and boss fights against Greene and Mr. White take place at Guy Haines' Mansion.
