This game has a lot of great action!
If you're looking to sit through endless chit chat, than
go for another game, but THIS GAME IS ALL ACTION!
PLEASE NOTE: the demo is nothing like the game,
in the demo you are right in the middle of a hard level, with no Idea of what's up! So please for your ownself, for your
'damn I wanna play Action games' side, get it!
and it's so good , that no walkthrough help is needed,and the cheats are great, you just press T , and the game pauses than enter kfa, and you got everything!

It is a nice game to buy, comparing to IGI . Nice to play.

Not just another contract killer

For those of use who loved the first two installments of the series (NOLF 1 & 2) this game is not just more of the same. The focus shifted from stealth to action and the only way to get out of any situation is pure violence. Enemies are harder to kill than in NOFL, even if they look similar. They duck and weave in a very realistic manner and they even act together. And you never get just one: Packs of 5 or 6 are the norm. Humor is still there, but sometimes you cannot really pay attention to it over the sound of fire.

The only drawback: It's too short! Only 7 chapters and only one level boss in the single player. I have not played the multiplayer though. In conclusion, a great game, testosterone heavy and full of action. Where else than in the NOLF universe can you be the bad guy and enjoy it so much? I imagine that a showdown with Kate is part of Sierra's plans for the future. I look forward to it

an entry into the n.o.l.f. universe, not the series

let me start out by stating that this is by no means another entry into the n.o.l.f. series, but a venture into the n.o.l.f. universe. monolith set out to make a fast-paced and action-packed (yet still quirky and humarous) first-person shooter and for that, they succeeded wonderfully.

my only two criticisms about 'contract j.a.c.k.' would be as follows:
-some of the ammo is pretty sparse, i barely recall picking up any ammunition for the cross-bow for the entire game.
-it could have used a few more levels.

beyond that, if you're a huge fan of the n.o.l.f. series and like the thought of mowing down group after group opponents while having a good dose of hearty laughs to compliment they mayhem, i recommend you purcase contract j.a.c.k.

however, if you're new to the series i'd recommend waiting until the price drops to $20. some of the best jokes will quite frankly, go right over your head (as they are direct tie-ins to the previous ventures) but even to a new-comer, it's still a solid title.

make no mistake, this is no n.o.l.f. 3 and it was never intended to be. i urge everyone to rate the game for it's own merits, not for the fact it isn't the 3rd in the 'cate archer series'.

Contract J.A.C.K - Just Another Contract Killer is a game based on the No one lives forever serries. It takes place after the first nolf and before the second. It is the dark side of nolf. You play Jack a contract killer working for the Harm organisation helping them defeat another evil organisation Danger Danger. CJ is a very good action game though not half as long as nolf2. It has about 15 levels, Very well desinged and fun to get through. The moon base levels are best and the italian levels are very eye candy. Built on the Jupiter engine Direct3D hardware T&L and 32bit color are a must to play the game. I have a GeForce Fx and i did not face any problems with the game. The graphics are fantastic, Water effects are the best, the ripples and reflections are very well done. Charecter movements are also superb. If you think the ending is bad, watch it again and this time do not skip the credits. Contract Jack is very good but short fps.

A decent time waster

Well, I'm gonna do the pro/con thing for this one.

The gist of it: It's a run and gun game. In the first 2 missions, it said I missed a few secrets. I found out later that "secrets" are hidden places, not documents, film, briefcases etc. He is an assassin, not a spy.

Pros: The attention to detail in the environments is awesome. I saw furniture and cliche'd paintings in some of these places that were timeless. It gives you a choice in visual setup at the beggining to go with the video card you might have which was a nice touch. Jack is a more serious character than Cate(NOLF) and is a "get things done" kind of assassin. His dialoge is somewhat humorous if you pay attention to what he says. he refers to a drunken Scottsman if you know who he's talkin about haha. The other characters dialoges are kinda funny too. PLUS it's a slightly lowered price so you shouldn't be spending $50 for a simple shooter.

On a whim I used the cheat code to get all the weapons and wasn't disapointed. No exploding kitties but some pretty cool weapons. There's absolutely no need for god codes. On the easy setting you take little damage and there's lots of ammo and armor around.

Cons: I haven't quite finished it yet but the missions so far are pretty simple and short. I keep finding levers or buttons that will highlight for you to activate but they're greyed over so you can't activate them. I finished the missions and never figured out what they were for. Like I said, it's a run and gun game so don't get your hopes up for a NOLF type goofiness. This is a darker game.

I still highly recommend it to anyone with a love for shooters.

not bad

This game isn't bad, but like others said, it's pretty short. The new levels, and weapons are cool though, and I got a used one, and it was worth the 5 bucks.

Good Intense Action

It is hard to win and that is why it is fun and challenging.
Lots of intense shooting with great effects. The bad
guys shoot and take cover not just stand there and be
shot which makes the game more real to me. I give it
4 stars if you like chaotic intense shooting. Jack's the
man!! Let Archer stay in the kitchen....

As the final installement to the Nolf series, Contract Jack comes as a bit of a disappointment. Not only is the game too short to be really any fun, but the kill off the prime character way to easily. He's the best contract killer for heavens sake! Surely his death should have been at the hands of the one and only spy: Cate Archer.

Graphics are good, not so that you need an alienware to run it, but decent enough to truly be enjoyable without having the computer lock up even on the highest options. So for those of us that don't have hundreds to spend on new computers and graphics card, you would not be amiss in trying out this game.
