James Bond: 007 Legends has hardly had the most dignified of starts at retail. The game has received something of a critical mauling, and following its release the news hit that developer Eurocom had been closed down.
Although the game was released in North America on 11th December, the UK release never happened. We approached Activision for an explanation and have been told today by a representative that the proposed launch will be "later this year, TBC".
We've no idea why the UK release has been put back, as the game is available now in the US. While we're waiting, you might want to check out our review of James Bond: 007 Legends and decide for yourself if it's going to be worth the wait.

Who cares? The game sucked.
That's unfortunate.
So, does it mean Europe already has it or by saying "we're expecting the UK release" you're implying that we're expecting the European release date, as well?
The game has been out since December 6th in several European countries like The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, France and Germany:

The game is IN STOCK at AMAZON.CO.UK. I just re-checked - I saw it in stock last week so it appears to be available!

It's actually not too bad of a game. Not $60 worth but it was a fun ride.
To be continued?
It would appear that Amazon are listing it as in stock, however, as mentioned in the news item, Activision UK's official line is that the game isn't out yet. If that proves to be false then I'm sure they will get back in touch and put us right.
I'm not really that bothered about it now,might get it if it's real cheap.
I would actually still buy this if they add Wii remote support back in.
"They" can't because "they" went out of business...
The Australian release of this was cancelled entirely, though it was released for the PS3/360.
That's strange because I have the game and I live in UK :S
Waste of money for the price of the game. Just a lousy port of a mediocre at best game. Probably best to wait for the bargain bin on that one
After seeing this article, I ordered this from Amazon before it disappears forever. It does appear to be out, but needs gamers. I actually prefer 007 multiplayer to CoD. The review was quite harsh though, its not a bad game. I've give it a 6 all round.
