007 Ice Racer is a mobile game published by Vodafone that had two different versions. This one was developed by In-Fusio for the Execution Engine, a special Java-based engine specifically developed for mobile phones, although it was only available on certain handsets. Luckily, an emulator for this engine exists – while it’s extremely laggy on menus, the game itself runs really well.
Ice Racer is a Rad Racer-style driving game. The objective is to reach the end of the level before the time runs out, avoiding obstacles and collecting bonuses (points, speed or time) along the way. It’s loosely based on Die Another Day, with you driving the Vanquish.
Before each of the four levels, you can buy power-ups from the Q Store, which requires sending an SMS. Luckily, the game is so incredibly easy that none of this is needed.
Each level starts with a blurb of text which has nothing to do with the level. For example the third level mentions following Jinx, but this level is different to the others: in this, you have to battle Zao by collecting rockets and firing one at him. Instead of a timer, you have limited fuel and can collect more by picking up cannisters.
The final level seems to have the superweapon from the end of the film blasting down (or it could be a waterfall), yet is the least icy level of the game. You get to the end and you win – it takes about 6 minutes to complete the game. It plays quite smoothly, but there isn’t much to it.

How to play 007 Ice Racer (ExEn) on Windows 11
The above link includes an emulator that works on Windows 11, just open up “007 Ice Racer [!].exn” in the emulator. Please note that the menus are extremely slow, but the game itself plays fine. I couldn’t figure out what the “back” button was, so don’t click on any of the items in the Q Store.
