This is not your standard FPS. Gone are the days of "kill the monsters, find the door." The missions in this game are so varied, you'll feel like you stepped into a James Bond film. This game has an excellent story that seems plucked right out of any great spy movie. It has the gadgets, the guns, and of course, the girls. Zany villians, who include an overweight big game hunter, a Russian assassin, a disgruntled oprea singer, and a demolition-loving Scotsman are just some of the foes you'll face. This is a standard tuxedo-martini spy game (with just a dash of cheesiness), but this time, the roles are reversed. You take control of Cate Archer, female superspy. You are given unique weapons, incredible gadgets, and a hapless partner who wears pink and green polyester shirts. The graphics were beautiful enough to astound me. (Many things do that to me) The reason I gave this only four stars is because of the system requirements. Buyers with slower systems beware! This game is not meant for you. To get optimal performance out of this game, you practically need a supercomputer. To sum this up, if you have the system, and the dough, buy this game fast!

Bond fans, GET THIS GAME!

This game is superb! I receive Incite CD and PCGamer CD-Roms full of demos every month, and this is the first time I have found a demo that made me go out and purchase the full game the next day! The game has superb graphics and sound and especially a great soundtrack, I am a big James Bond fan and I feel as though I am living the James Bond life.

Excellent game, very definetly worth the time to download either of the demos!

JUST A GREAT GAME!

I'd purchased this game several months ago and it only saw about 20 minutes of playing time. I've been burned out on just about all games for quite a while now. I decided to give NLF another chance and I'm glad I did. This is the first game I've finished in about two years. None of the others recently have been able to hold my attention. NLF did in spades.

The levels are desinged very well and none of them too complicated or too large. It's nice to be able to play for only 30-45 minutes and still make some head way. Granted if you have the time to do marathon sessions, NLF can definately keep you occupied. You don't have to lose contact with all your friends and family while you try to finish it though ( unless of course you want to ).

The graphics are very good and I've played on a few different systems. Granted a Celeron 400 w/ a TNT can't swing 1280 x 1024 and won't play any game at the resolution at an acceptable rate but even on a 400 640 x 480 and even 800 x 600 were playable. The game looks awesome at the higher resolutions if you have the hardware to run it.

I don't often comment on music in a game but in this case I will. I'd compare it to SSX for the playstaion 2. Besides sounding very very good, the music is dynamic. When you round a corner and get into a shootout with some gaurds, the music reflects this. The tempo becomes a bit faster and the horns sound more on edge. The music adds a lot to the game.

Over all this is a very good game. I was reminded a lot of half-life. There wasn't anything in the game that was stolen from half-life. I was reminded of half-life due to the very solid game play. I'd call this half-life with more personality and not so hard puzzles. Had this game come out 2 years ago this would be a "break through 5 star you life will never be the same unless you own it game." Considering what's out ther today I'd call it a very solid game that has a lot of character and feels refreshing even though there isn't anything really new. Of all the games out there right now, I can't think of a better game than NLF to spend an evening playing.

A quirky and all around fun first person shooter.

No One Lives Forever effectively combines the best elements of first person shooters from the past, while adding great new elements to go along with an outstanding, funny story.

Gameplay - One word to describe the gameplay in No One Lives Forever is outstanding. The story revolves around spy Kate Archer in England during the 1960's. The missions are some of the best in any first person shooter. In one, you must drop from a crashing airplane and obtain the parachute from an enemy while free falling and fighting off attackers. The originality doesn't stop there however, the weapons are good, but the gagets are extraordinary. Some of the many gagets you get to try out are lipstick explosives, and a robotic poodle. The story progresses with funny clips with lots of intriguing characters. The plot twists, although predictable at times, are good as well. No One Lives Forever is, without a doubt, one of the funniest and original first person shooters to date.

Gameplay - ****1/2 out of *****

Graphics - The graphics are good, but are not up to par with other first person shooters such as Unreal Tournament and Quake 3. For example, there are no reflections of lights off of floors or walls. Although the graphics aren't the sharpest either, the death animations are very well done. If you shoot an enemy at the top of a flight of stairs, he will tumble down the entire stairway before coming to a stop at the bottom. Great job.

Graphics - ***1/2 out of *****

Sound - The sound and music in the game is top notch! I don't think I have ever heard a better soundtrack (except perhaps Command and Conquer Red Alert 1 and 2) The 60's music is funky and down right fantastic. It sets the mood for the game perfectly. Voice acting is also done well. Kate has a great voice (not unlike Elizabeth Hurley in the movie Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery) as well as all the other characters, especially Tom Goodman, Kate's partner. The excellent sounds compliments this excellent game nicely.

Sound - ***** out of *****

Bottom Line - If you are at all interested in the first person shooter genre, or want a break from all the serious games out there, pick this up. You will not be disappointed.

AWESOME...JUST AWESOME

NOLF is the first to get it right! For those of you out there like myself who are tired of pointless rampage, slow soggy stories, or games that lose site of what makes a game fun, the cure has been found. You assume the role of Ms. Kate Archer. She is not a lesson in "feminine activists friendly game play" nor is she a over physically endowed creature for eye candy. She is simply Kate, a witty lass looking for some death defying adventure to ease her boredom of the daily grind. The locations and action are incredibly realistic in their cinematics. You have a true feeling of exploring foreign locations while playing much as you did when first laying your hands on MYST 6-8 years ago. But the real winning feature is that it is just downright FUN! It is very self aware as a game and never takes itself too seriously. It's a title that will return to your hardrive many times well after you have finished playing it for the *last* time!

If you haven't played an FPS in some time, play this one

No One Lives Forever is a 007 with a twist. Secret operative is your job description. If you liked Half-life, this is another FPS with a story and not so much just go around and shoot everything. Of course, that is what ends up happening anyways. There are lots of cool gadgets and weapons that you get to choose from over the course of the game. Very cool scenes and places to explore. This is a definite purchase.

Best game

This is quite simply the best game I've ever played. I loved every minute of it, and I'm someone who can get bored easily with games. It's a great first-person shooter, but at the same time it doesn't get repetitive like some shooters can be. I highly recommend it.

One of the best games of the era

One of the most outstanding games of the era. This games basically reminds me of Austin Powers and James Bond combined. The games is also like playing a movie they are a lot of cut scenes in the game.

In this game you play a British Spy named Cate Archer. You basically must save the world from the Notorius Mad Man named Dimitri Volkov who has killed half of your agents. (That's how the story starts)

What is good about this game is that you just cannot go around like Rambo killing people. You will have to sometimes sneek around and collect intelligents. Or sneek your way out without tripping any alarms. Aside from fire power you also have alot of cool gadgets in the game

I Highly recommend this game to anyone.

(P.S. The charactor Bruno Lawree (Cate Archer's Mentor) you will see in the beginning of the game eerily reminds me of actor Sean Connery He even sounds like him too.
