Product Description
-------------------
In James Bond 007: Nightfire, all-new scenarios and gameplay
complement an original storyline that delivers all-out Bond-style
intensity. As Bond, players will operate in the high altitude
Austrian Alps and a zero-gravity space station as well as
underwater in the South Pacific in order to defeat the evil
criminal mastermind Rafael Drake, who is bent on ruling the
world. The game is primarily seen through a fast-paced
first-person perspective, but will switch to a dynamic
third-person perspective to show off dramatic interactive
moments. Each of the more than 10 exotic locations around the
world and beyond in Nightfire will contain a generous offering of
challenging missions and objectives filled with furious action
and stealth, gorgeous women, exotic locales, and sophisticated
-craft gadgetry that Bond fans expect. Moreover, players will
have the option to upgrade many of the numerous Q-lab gadgets.
.co.uk Review
-------------
You can't keep him off the telly on a bank holiday and nowadays
he seems to be almost as prevalent in the gaming world. That's
right: James Bond is back on your consoles in 007 NightFire--and
ready to endorse a bottle of vodka near you.
Games companies are weird. This release comes in the same year
as the 40th anniversary of James Bond, as well as Die Another
Day, the 20th film to feature the loveable old womanising drunk.
So what do EA, proud bearers of the 007 games license, do? They
make a game based on an amalgamation of all the Bond movies, with
their own "original" story line, then go and stick Pierce
Brosnan's face and a bunch of clips from Die Another Day in it.
Whaaaat?
Bizarre marketing decisions aside, this could finally be the
game to come out from behind the shadow of the seminal N64
classic GoldenEye. Which means, of course, that this is a
stealthy first-person shooter (with a few car-racing levels
thrown in for good measure) bolted onto a cracking multi-player
mode. Following on from GoldenEye (
/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004TY71/${0} ) is a bit like being asked to
make Citizen Kane 2, but EA have sensibly gone back to the spirit
of the original and NightFire is much more strategic than their
last attempt, the rather shallow Agent Under Fire. Once again you
can learn a pathological hatred of security cameras as you use an
even wider array of Q gadgetry to kill people without them even
noticing.
The multi-player mode is also good, with meatier weapons than
last time, including a particularly fun remote-control missile
launcher. People are always crooning about nobody doing it better
than Bond, but in the gaming world that's not always been true;
with this game, though, it looks like he's taken the ejector seat
straight to the top of the first-person shooter pile. --David
