Moonraker Ripoff

I loved this game but it's the EXACT same thing as Moonraker, here's the evidence.

The man's name is Drake! Drake/Drax and they were pretty much the same guy, corporate leaders and all.

Drax/Drake had a French girlfriend but found out that she betrayed him, so she was killed. Albeit, different ways.

The bounceback is some other government agent.

They both have a laser that looks/acts the same.

There is a giant man henchman (Rook/Jaws) but of course Jaws was better and an Asian henchman (Kiko/Chang), this one's a bit of a stretch since Chang was there for about 7 minutes, but I'd have to say Kiko was better and I liked how she died.

Drax was planning on the same thing Drake was, destroy Earth and have his superior people take over the world and make it a corporation.

See? Same premise, different name, slightly different characters.

Anyone else agree?

Well, it also has an element from "You only live twice".... the escape bit from the Company where James gets picked up by a female agent by car...

Yeah, it's a YOLT/MR mix, but much more MR. The whole Japan sequence at Mayhew's house is really YOLT-ish. Night Shift is also YOLT-ish. But the rest is MR all the way.

And the scene in Phoenix Submarine, extremly similar to the Stealth Boat sequence in Tomorrow Never Dies.

And the above poster above me is right too,it looks similar.
