If you don't own No One Lives Forever you're missing out!

What are you doing? Stop reading and order both of the No One Lives Forever games before they're no longer in print. I'm serious. These games have a great story, great humor and awesome action.

You play a 60's era spy on the trail of evil masterminds. No One Lives Forever has it all... great music, graphics (for its time), cool weapons, stealth if you want and long hours of gaming goodness. You'll find yourself laughing at the story and dialogue and you'll catch the evildoers in some funny conversations.

This is one of the best FPS series ever made. To let it pass you buy is a crying shame. Buy both games today. They're cheap and they're well worth the bargain bin price.

A good, funny game

I have to admit I am judjing this game from the demo.This game is also not for any one who expects the best graphics in the world. The movies are fair and the faces of the people look 'kinda blocky. But There is also some good humor in the game. The AI is very good and the your enimes push over tables and auctually know that they are not bulletproof. Though it is said to be a spy game I am almost never able to sneak past people. The gagets are nice and each weapon has a cretain advantage and disadvantage. I would recomend this game to anyone who loves good humor and good game play and does not mind graphics.

Very Mediocre.

Halflife. Hitman. Rogue Spear. Unreal Tournament. Deus Ex. When I think of first person shooters I think of all of these games. A great FPS must have the graphics, gameplay, and action to get your heart rate up during a firefight, but also the complexity to make you think to solve puzzles. No One Lives Forever is an extremely disappointing FPS, and would have succeeded as any other type of game. I am insulted when I hear this game labeled as a FPS; placed into the ranks beside all of my favorites such as Halflife, Hitman, etc. Sure, the in-game dialogue is GREAT. I've never heard anything that is so close to the movies. The plot is also something to marvel at-it, too, feels like a movie. My question is this, however: if you want something that feels like a movie, why not just rent a movie?! Honestly, the dialogue drags on for minutes on end, which is a lot for a PC game, and even longer for an FPS. A quality FPS is made up of quick, plot-necessary exchanges between the main character and an informant who will help you to solve a puzzle or provide important information. The characterization is good, but I never really felt like I got into the game. Most FPS games I am able to finish in a weekend, and I play non-stop because I simply can't bring myself to save and quit mid-level. This game took me a great deal longer, not because it was that much harder, but because it drags. I felt unconnected and truly could not slip into the role of Agent Cate Archer (aside from the whole different sex thing). If you ask me, this game is overrated, overhyped, and just not a good FPS. Get into the Halflife series or Deus Ex and you'll see what a real FPS is all about.

Too Bad.......The Possibilities Were Nearly Endless

I was really disappointed once I started playing this game. It was a brilliant idea.......70's spy game, great for anyone that likes Bond movies or any other movie in that genre. Don't get me wrong this game is fun to play, but here I will point out the cons: 1.Where is the 3D we all love? This game lacked the graphics that you need to compete in today's market and really fell short of stupendous 2.Weapon Selection-more than disappointing in this field, hardly any thing to work with 3.Story-What we all loved about those 70's spy movies was the villian and the spys journey into defeating him, the game lacked on this side of the game too........................................Well, if you are thinking about buying this game make sure you check out the demo ... before buying it because you may be glad you didn't decide to buy it. One last note though......this game genre is no where near out of the question for making a new game, so I challenge any and all manufacturers out there to put this game in the dust! Good luck browsing/shopping!

Nice game, couldv,e been great .... expect for the fact that almost every character in this game is a joke, the main character,. nice spy... villians,. maybe if they werent so sweet and happy and funny looking,.. could have been great but the characters were just to childish to have a real FPS effect, just because its in FP doesnt mean that it is a true FPS,.. if your looking for something engrossing and something to get your adrenaline up then get Half-Life or Unreal Tournament

A hilarious. thrilling, adventure.

No One Lives Forever is incredible. Not many games kep me interested and amazed throughout the entire game, but NOLF does it. The creators are absolute geniuses to come up with something so thrilling and so darn hilarious. I found myself laughing the whole entire way through. The villians seem as if they came out of an Austin Powers movie. The puzzles are complicated enough to keep you busy for quite some time. One of the best parts abit NOLF, besides the graphics, storyline, etc. is the length. It takes many hours to get through it as their are 15 missions, but each mission has several scenes. The companion book is good to have, but use it only if you need it. I used it the first time and I'm going to start all over from the beginning without it. Great game. Looking forward to the sequel.

BRILLIANT !

I've played this game almost every day for the past nine months. It's awesome. Austin Powers meets Deus Ex. Very funny, excellent graphics, excellent voice and music. Also such variety of locations, it NEVER gets boring. I'll tell ya what, you REALLY gets your money's worth of entertainment here. If you don't get this game, you are really missing out. I LOVED it.

Another FPS...

I'll admit that my favorite games are usually not in the FPS category. It's not surprising then, to find out that I played this game and figured out after about 30 minutes of playing that this is just another one of those games.

I'll admit that the theme is original, for a FPS, and that some of the levels are slightly intuitive, but the graphics didn't wow me. The enemies were also very easy to pick off.

I've seen Austin Powers at least 20 times, and laugh every time. NOLF attempts to provide the same humor, but with less intelligence and wit.

If you have an extra 50 bucks lying around, go for it. I'll take the buggy "Giants: Citizen Kabuto" over this game any day.

A lot of fun

This game is well worth the purchase. It is a fun escape from your "normal" life, with a good mixture of stealth and shoot-'em up. The helicopter scene is good but a little to easy. The ending level is great fun.

best FPS game ever!!
