Most games have little bugs that show it was rushed or that no one cared. And even great games like Half-Life have really bad parts like that whole Xen thing. But this game is just plain fantastic

i like the weapons. The humor (this is a funny game first person shooter, not a serious spy game) is awesome. i hate the '60s and those ugly constumes, but this game is still wonderful.

Only complaint i have is that i didn't like the scuba diving level. Also, the sharp shooting level where you protect the dumb US guy was pretty hard due to your limited field of view, but still fun

This is probably the best FPS i have played in a long, long time

Immersive..gagetfest..the spy who rocks me..!!

This game only attracted my attention by getting some rather enthusiastic reviews from my online buddies, and when I had actually bought the title I was more than suprised by it's constant action and sarcastic humor.

The First Person Shooter, or FPS, has always been my genre of choice when coming to PC games. The gameplay and style intrigued me, but as I played more of them they surfaced with the same aspects: kill lots and lots of bad guys! Of course something like this would be considered entertaintment to those who've never played a REAL game (say, Half-Life), and that a more deep plot and perhaps even some character would possibly enjoy this. But NOLF is so different upon comparison, it's not hard to come to the conclusion that it may be the Game of The Year.

Driven by action and the cliched 60's throwback of bright colors and wild music, NOLF carries on were a James Bond pun left off (I guess the comparison between this and Austin Powers doesn't go without reason). Add some specatular AI, great textures, awesome level design, top-notch voice-acting, and a theme song (I know, weird, but you'd have to play the game ;), and it would most probably appeal to a much larger audience than it would to that other FPS, HITMAN. Even when you shoot at some of the bad guys, I was surprised to watch them dash my gunfire rather than running towards me (and screaming "Watch out for 'da bullets!" hehe, quite entertaining!

This is THE game to buy this year! (unless you have yourself a nice litle copy of SACRIFICE installed ;)

Wild and Wacky Action game.. a bit too Wacky?

It's no secret that I am not a fan of action gaming. Action games bore me, unless they are multi player games (Unreal Tournament or Tribes2). However this game is different. It's typical in it's action gaming, but untypically it has an excellent story line. The Cutscenes in this game, if all put together could make a rather hilarious movie. The online gaming element isn't bad at all, either. The vehicle riding is quite fun, and though it's not Tribes2.. it's certainly not boring either. I did find myself getting bored of the action in the middle, but that's just me. I wanted to complete this game to check out every cutscene. See the sexy archer, working her way through a man's world. HAHA If I did not know better, I'd say this game was made by feminists. The only low, I can think of for this game is, that the game is so wacky it takes away from the coolness of the action. Mixing comedy and hardcore action is not easy, but this game does it's best.

Who cares about the dumb conversations

Number one - I love to blow stuff up and wipe out entire armies. That's my idea of a good computer game. This is not that kind of game.

Pluses
1) The graphics are good
2) The user interface works well like other FPS
3) Good weapons choices and usage
4) Loved the music

Minuses
1) Too much baloney between action scenes. Only losers would say "I replayed the game just to hear the conversations."
2) See one again - especially the doggone training labs. Where's the skip button?

3) Reference one again - too much setup in the story. Get me armed and let me exercise extreme prejudice.

Read the positive vibes. Many admit they don't normally like FPS games. This might appeal to the wine and whine club, but if you want a real game - stick in the realm of unreal, half life, and quake.

wow this is cool we dont have a james bond game

I have never played such a great FPS. The AI are smart and funny. The story is funny and movie like..... which is good. I would have never believed the turnout of the story. If you are into spy movies/games this is a must. Think of it as a smart investment.

Cool Game

I found this game to be challenging and fun. I have a 850 mhz 256 mb Ram ATI Rage Mobility Video and at times the game was still slow and choppy. It seemed this way whenever the graphics became intense with too many characters or objects. The story is great, I even found myself laughing many times during the dialog scenes.

If only EA...

...could make Bond titles this good! Playing NOLF really puts an emphasis on the creative apathy at Electronic Arts. Monolith took a clean-slate approach to the superspy FPS genre and came up with a fun, hip, slick shooter that feels like a stealth title, adventure, and shooter wrapped up in one day-glo far-out package. It's long, deep, and constantly innovative. No level feels like the last, there is no "value padding."
Even while executing its maneuvers with grace and force, NOLF will draw smiles and an occasional chuckle with it's self-deprecating sense of farce. It's the rare game not afraid to laugh at itself! NOLF is thoroughly enjoyable and a must-play for all PC gamers.

*Download the V1.03 patch from the company website before play*
Pros:
-Innovative and USEFUL gadgetry
-Brilliantly colorful, detailed, and geographically correct environments
-Masterful use of shadow and lighting
-Variety of gameplay, never tedious
-Accurate, responsive control
-Engaging story and characters
-Humor ranging from Carrot-Top corny to occasionally hilarious (the German HARM agents debating morality killed me)

Cons;
-Slighty over-cooked dialogue (could have benefitted from editing)
-Poorly executed "stealth" missions (major inconsistencies in enemy and surveillance camera awareness, even with V 1.03 patch)

Shock to a Stagnant Game Market

I had recently stopped playing games, namely FPS because I was so uninteresed in the relative lack of innovation. It was during this hiatus that a friend menioned No One Lives Forever. I was immediately drawn in by this Austin Powers/James Bond mix and had to be dragged away from the computer, mid-mission 2 hours later. NOLF quite effectively balances actions, cut-scenes, gadgetry, and pure thought process to produce one of the most enjoyable games in memory.
