Andrew Bicknell was brought into supply the likeness and voice of James Bond as then Bond actor Pierce Brosnan hadn't renewed his contract as Bond, disallowing the use of his physical appearance and voice. However, Bicknell's casting as Bond was not heavily publicized or reported at the time. The game's cover did not even show his face and various PlayStation 2 magazines, including PlayStation World, erroneously reported that Bicknell's Bond was a generic character invented for the game "rather than anyone specific".
The female South American terrorist Carla the Jackal is a reference to South American terrorist Carlos the Jackal.
