James Bond 007: NightFire is a worthy sequel to 2001's
outstanding Agent Under Fire. The game retains the overall look
of its predecessor--including some familiar recurring characters
and gadgets--but is designed to feel more like an actual Bond
movie than a video game. After the familiar " barrel" opening
, you're introduced to the game via a pre-credits action
sequence through the streets of Paris that leads into an original
theme song, complete with surreal imagery.
The pacing of the game is natural, with each objective leading
smoothly to the next. You even get to holster your PPK, don a
tuxedo, and infiltrate a cocktail party at your adversary's
mansion, making small talk with his henchmen, flirting with
female party guests, and eavesdropping on secret conversations.
Of course, within minutes you'll be shooting your way out of the
place and making a daring escape in true 007 fashion, including
Bond's trademark one-liners. The storyline combines espionage,
action, and innuendo in just the right proportions to evoke a
real Bond movie atmosphere.
The game's overall playability is improved by some nice
attention to detail, not the least of which is the addition of
smarter and less predictable villains (they can hear you coming,
they communicate with each other, and they're better at utilizing
cover and sneaking up behind you). You also have more
options (there are many ways to reach each objective, so the game
is very replayable) as well as a better arsenal of gadgets and
weapons. And best of all, the multiplayer mode incorporates
classic characters from many Bond movies. More than any other 007
game to date, NightFire was designed with the die-hard Bond fan
clearly in mind. --Maile Bohlmann
Pros:
* Well-developed storyline
* Authentic Bond movie atmosphere
* Great graphics, sound, and music
* Smart, crafty villains
* Wide range of controller settings Cons:* Pre-credits action
sequence is far too easy
* They still don't have Bond's voice quite right (Maxwell
Caulfield?!)
* Fans of nonstop action might not appreciate the extended
cutscenes (This review refers to the PlayStation2 version of this
game)
