Pretty good | 4.0 0 comments |
by Dark Elite from , , Australia | Jul 30, 2004 |
THE GOOD: ~The levels ~The graphics ~The multiplayer ~The sounds ~The physicsTHE BAD: ~Only 12 levels ~Some of the levels are linear
SUMMARY: This game turned out quite good, way better than the Agent under fire. For something different EA makes you play the first level before you even enter the menu screen, this make it feel as though this is already into it and is action pact, it really is.
This is an awesome game to play and EA brings you along to many exotic locales including in the snow and even on the beaches of Australia......... The levels are visually stunning and are quite colourfull. Though they can get a bit repetitive after a while as they are quiet linear.
The physics in the game are better than the last games as they die proprely insted of been blown back five metres because of a puny pistol, so this game looks more real as well and does not look cheaply done. The cut scenes are very well done though for some reason they are a bit blurry.
The music is really good and puts you inot the right mood for the right situation. The sounds of the enemies sound good as well as other stuff.
The MP is actually the most best part of the game if your considering a game with replay value, this game has so many modes for you to choose from and you can have a lot of bots, there are many characters for you to choose from and in MP there are mini vehicles. These mini vehicles consist of the mini chopper where you have a remote control heli copter and can fly it all around the area. Also the is the mini tank that's pretty mad and it also speeks for itself.
Sadly there are only 12 missions and that's why you will resort to playing with MP, overall this game is worth your money and I suggest getting it.

007 has come a long way, but in the right direction? | 4.2 0 comments |
by Tehuti from Portsmouth, Hampshire, England | Jun 7, 2003 |
James Bond 007: Nightfire is, I would put, a good game.
The story line is quite plausable, someone takes nukes, threatens the world, James Bond must stop him, does. Just like any other Bond film. The characters are very well done, and noone is really alike (except the thugs or soldiers that all look the same). The plot is twisting and takes you a fair distance around the world. The missions themselves are interesting, varying tasks need to be done, and there are a few optimum routes. The equipment is also interesting, the usual gadgets from Q, the laser, the electrifying car keys and so on. The guns and weopons vary, from futuristic to tradition 007. Pistols, Uzis, Grenades, there are many.
I am pleased with the mulitplayer. However, there is a lack of large levels, and most of them are confined and poorly set out, making things too obvious and too easy to know like the back of your hand. The multiplayer characters are quite lacking too, but aside from the storyline characters, you can use past friend and foe, such as Oddjob (you can use his hat!) and Pussy Galore. The weopons don't vary from the ones featured on the storyline and the gadgets are non-existant. But it can be quite good for a quick multiplayer warm up for a better game.
This game can be completed quickly and doesn't have a long life span, espescially if you're by yourself. Good graphics don't make up for this and you'd better just trade it in once you've finished. Very good in the short term, but not in the long term. |

by jetsetradiofan from London, City of London, England | Jan 18, 2003 |
THE GOOD: This is one very good game the graphics are exellent and the gadgets are coolTHE BAD: there is only a small amount of levels, twelve to be exact. I think there should be more! SUMMARY: This game should be a definate buy because it is exellent. The controls are dodgey but everything else is great. If you have this game, good luck because it is very difficult to do, but i like it anyway! |

Like the aims-20 that the speacial guards on the mission countdown you can use the gun in grenade or burst mode and when you use the zoom it has infa red scanning

Better Than Agent Under Fire! | 3.6 0 comments |
by cobra2 from Huntington Beach, CA, USA | Nov 24, 2002 |
THE GOOD: Well, the original storyline and it feels just like the movies!THE BAD: Not quite as rovolutionary as Goldeneye for the N64, and the controls are a little strange. SUMMARY: Well, I was a little disappointed with Agent Under Fire, but it wasn't a bad game. I would give that game a 7.5/10. So you can imagine that I was a little sceptical with Nightfire, but I can safely say that this is the best Bond game since Goldeneye. Although it isn't quite as good as Goldeneye, it still is a wonderful game.
GRAPHICS- They are better than AUF, and it's nice to see Pierce Brosnan as 007. The Xbox version looks the best but there still isn't much of a difference between it and the other versions. The screen isn't shaky at all (like the PS2) and there are no jagged lines. Everything looks really smooth. -4.0/5
SOUND- Everything sounds realisitc and the effects are dead on. The Surround Sound that the Xbox offers, sounds awsome in this game .The voice acting isn't bad but why does our Pierce Brosnan 007 sound like Roger Moore? -4.8/5
Control- One of the only real flaws in the game. It's good to have so many different control options but none of them seem to fit very well. The controls aren't bad and it doesn't ruin the game, but it still can be annoying at the beginning. I think the controls aren't the best because literally every different button has a purpose (even the D-pad isn't used for moving but for weapon and gadget selection). I the think if the controls were customizeable, then it wouldn't have been as bad. -2.9/5
Overall- Now the game is fun and combines many elements of gameplay (i.e. action, shooting, stealth, racing, etc.) but the most fun levels would have to be the driving. The levels are longer than that of AUF's so it will take longer to beat. Overall very enjoyable! -3.6/5 |

Action Packed!!! | 4.5 0 comments |
by razurkiel from , , | Nov 24, 2002 |
THE GOOD: The action, the mix of in-game cinematics with actual gameplay, the graphics, did I mention action?THE BAD: Well, I couldn't really find anything. SUMMARY: Next to LOTR: Two Towers, Nightfire has to have the best intro to a game, ever...period. Just as the cinematics get started, bang, you are then introduced into the game play. This is a no-nonsense action thriller, with amazing affects and a perfect combination of stealth and action, as well as a perfectly orchestrated blend of in-game cinematics and game-play. It actually feels like you are part of a James Bond movie. They did a very good job with this one. I also had alot of fun playing it. One thing I really liked, (and I can't remember if this was ever done before), is when you move with a pistol in hand, and your back is to a wall, or you are rounding a corner, the pistol lifts and points upwards, like in the movies. I actually felt like I was there, and it may be one of the first, FPS's that made me feel this way. |
