Istanbul
Following on from the MI6 world exclusive screenshots last week, EA have released more images from the Istanbul location that will feature in the forthcoming videogame "From Russia With Love". In the five new screenshots, Sean Connery as James Bond can be seen taking on goons with a shotgun as well as manning a machine gun nest.

The use of the location will be expanded from the movie's storyline in what EA call their "Director's Cut" approach to the source material.

The rappel feature from the last 007 title "Everything or Nothing" will be returning in "From Russia With Love". In the screenshot opposite, Bond uses the rappel function to break in to a building following an internal explosion.

The weaponry used in "From Russia With Love" will be retro 1960's technology, but with an added twist! A few of the weapons and gadgets will have stylish upgrades from Q-Branch.

Multiplayer
Fresh screenshots of the four player splitscreen multiplayer mode show some of the characters you can expect to play as later this year. Amongst those on show in this batch are Red Grant, Krilencu, Kronsteen and Morzeny.

EA confirmed to MI6 earlier this week that "From Russia With Love" will not feature bots in multiplayer modes - it will be human players only.
