007: Nightfire

I remember this being an okay game. It was pretty difficult but once you got the hang of it, you could move along quite nicely. The graphics were pretty stunning for the time and the environments were fun to explore.

I have rented it. Loved it, and am about to buy it. The graphics here can rival any game cube title (but I don't know about Metroid Prime). They made Bond look exactly like Brosnan, and almost everyone here looks too real (but they made poor old Q un-funny and cartoon-like! Look at his bow-tie!) The sound is very good, I would swear a gun-fight is being fought in my living room! The gameplay is pretty easy to understand and you can just pick up your controller and blast away at things!

Now, the bad parts.

Who exactly though this illogical Moonraker/Golden Eye/Tommorow Never Dies/World is Not Enough story would work anyway? I mean come on! I have written better stuff than this in school essays! And the theme (while it is nice the game had one) totally bombs! Ever since Tommorow Never Dies there have been no good Bond themes! Anything else I can think of...yes. Two words: Raphel Drake. The worst James Bond villian since Charles Grey played Blofelt! He is as threatening as Leo Bloom for crying out loud! Hmm...anything else. Yes. Two ONE more word (since I forgot here last name): Alura. Never has there been a more irritating, annoying, ditzy, unatractive, unintellegent airhead since Dinese Richards play Christmas Jones (she is in the game too...AAAUUGGHHH!). Every other Bond girl was good (Kiko espically) but she was a major downpoint.

Overall: Buy it asap!

Before I say anything, if you're looking to play the free PC version, do yourself a favour and Google ''007 - Nightfire (Windows 10 Compatible) archive dot org''. The install file is uploaded by user ''Electronic Arts / A White Bob Installer''. It has no bugs or crashes to desktop unlike the other modified copy with updated multiplayer support patched to v5.91 that's made widely available on ''nightfirepc'' website.

Here's my review, so I had the chance to complete both version of this game on the Console PS2 via PCSX2 Emulator for PC followed by the PC version. It's an engaging Action/Adventure FPS game with all the usual Bond gadgets made ready for the player to use in different situations. I highly recommend that you play the console version first because it has the ''Car Driving Missions'' that was removed in the PC version for reasons unknown. Unsure why the Devs made this terrible decision? The PC port is a completely new experience, feels like another game imo. The graphics, the gameplay mechanics, cinematography etc. Alot of stuff in the PC version feels rushed or remove. I rate both versions an 8 out of 10.

This game has everything, and is well worth buying, there are so many missions, all different, from shooting enemies to driving in a cool Aston Martin, the first mission well represents this, you have to protect a French intelligence agent in a helicopter with a sniper rifle, taking out the enemies as they come, and later you are driving a car around the city. Then the other missions later on are more "spy" missions where you are snaking around. The multi-player option is great too, on this option you can play as characters from the game and basically choose your enemies and have a shoot out, or play a special option e.g. industrial espionage where you have to collect disks for your team. Also by winning a lot of points on the one player game, you have the chance to win celebrity characters for the multi player mode, these including the legendary Goldfinger, Electra King and Renard. Or alternatively you can just find the cheat codes. This game is brilliant and definitely worth buying.

This game is one of the all time most classic Playstation 2 games. There's a reason this 007 game, out of the vast number produced over time, is the most widely recognized and is sometimes enough of a reason to buy the PS2 console to begin with.

Most every single multiplayer first person shooter games of the modern age take lessons from the game play you experience in the 1-2 (1-4 with multi-tap) arena style matches that debuted in 007: Nightfire. Multiplayer gaming before this was akin to the bonus disc in some DVD's: a feature that sounds awesome enough to raise the market price, but in reality does not have the quality and substance to draw you in like the main feature does. Some of my earliest memories of playing a video game with other people are from 007: Nightfire, and remind me very much of the heated modern day Call of Duty multiplayer game play that has resulted in globally broken walls, broken friendships, and broken controllers (in the best possible way!).

If you're in the mood for some retro gaming, 007: Nightfire is an absolute must have!
