First of all this game DOES have multi-player. The multi player in this game is awesome there are up to 4 AI-bots you can add to face or play against you and you also control how strong they are such as health and accuracy. There are two teams in multi player, the good guys MI6 and the bad Phoenix. With that two teams can play in modes such as capture the flag, team arena, king of the hill, and protect modes where a team has to keep the other away from a satellite which is in there base so that the other team doesn't blow it up. Also add in mini helicopters and tanks which you can control and a weapon called Ronin which opens up into an auto machine gun. Also the levels you can play in are HUGE. So this is an awesome multi player game if that is what you want.

Now not to forget the 1 player mode which has a great story line. The levels include breaking into a castle to spy on a meeting, escaping on an armored snowmobile, driving the Vanquish, a submarine level where the vanquish turns into a sub, and a space level where you have to disarm huge missiles before they launch. Lots a cool gadgets can also be used.

Ok well this game has graphics that are almost unreal because they are so good. Tons of weapons such as explosives machine guns pistols bows, mines and sniper rifles and a laser gun. And also gadgets such as a watch laser which recharges itself a stunner, and other gadgets.

So to sum it up this is a truly awesome game and I highly recommend it. I hope this review was helpful.

007 Nightfire is the latest and greatest Bond adventure. In Nightfire you escape from a Tokyo skyscraper, ally with beautiful women, and even go a New Year's Eve sniping rampage from a helicopter along the streets of Paris. It's exotic missions like these that make Nightfire so pleasing to play, and it IS the best Bond game for G-Cube, X-Box, or the PS2. The storyline is thrilling and easy enough to follow, unlike some classic 007 films. The multiplayer modes are fun and there are many of them, although some are stupid like the Goldeneye Strike mode. This isn't really a problem if you just stick to modes like D-Match or Assault modes. The locales in MP mode are cool as well, with everything you'd expect from a James Bond game. You can play in Fort Knox to even having a shootout onboard Atlantis. These make MP especially awesome on the Nightfire adventure! Single Player can carry its weight alone. You will travel around from Tokyo to Paris to exotic jungles, even to the moon of all places! Another plus to SP is the fact that the driving sequences are back, and they look MUCH better than the ones in Agent Under Fire and they are MUCH more fun to play. The graphics are awesome, and now EA has incorporated some Squaresoft-like cinematic portions that make this adventure even more exciting! The controls are very smooth, and the game is a blast to play. It is also one of the few games that has a Single Player mode that is better than the superb multiplayer mode. This is the best Bond since Goldeneye on the N64(we've all played that)and it is way better than the last 007 game, Agent Under Fire. For any 007 fans out there, rejoice for there is a new, better, and totally out of control Bond game to satisfy your needs! My Rating-8.7!

Incredibly fun with great graphics

007 Nightfire is out for all major platforms, in time for the latest Bond film. The graphics are stunning, gameplay is amazing. Well worthy of the series!

I'm a huge fan of the Bond games, and we have all of the previous ones. We got this one as soon as it came out, and were definitely not disappointed!

The graphics are a huge step up from previous versions. In the first 'training' mission, you're driving a car through city streets. The lights reflect off of the curves of the car, you can see inside to all of his controls and movements, the dents show up realistically, the back up lights glow softly, and if you bash it a bit, the trunk comes loose. The city around you has cobblestone streets, water rippling, streetlights that come down when you hit them. The attention to detail is just amazing!

As you then move on through the various levels, you see this same level of detail everywhere. From the Austrian castle and other alpine scenes, to the city scenes, watery scenes and more, each really shines.

The plot is very engaging and typically Bond. But in an attempt to show that this isn't about violence - he's a SPY after all, not a Rambo - you get bonus points for being stealthy instead of blasting in with guns, and for stunning or capturing enemies instead of killing them.

In fact, just about every area can be 'accomplished' in many ways. Bluster your way into an objective by a full frontal assault ... or sneak in the side way for extra points. Since you're also rewarded for your time and health, often the sneaky, non-violent way is the best.

You've got a huge array of equipment, weapons, armor and vehicles, and all work just the way you'd expect them to. I found the default controller configuration REALLY annoying, but a quicks stop in the config area got it back to the way I'm used to playing.

Plus, there's multiplayer! Play with up to four people at once on REALLY great maps with quite a bit of customization options on each one. Grab some bots for practice, and play arena, team arena, king of the hill, capture the flag, or other game types.

Definitely worthy of the Bond series, and highly, highly recommended to any first person shooter fan!

WOW ALL OVER.

James Bond HAS Returned!
FIRST OF ALL, let me clarify! THE GAME HAS A MULTIPLAYER!!! I have no idea why some do not think it does. You now can play with four customizable bot characters making over 8 characters available to interact with at once (4 computer, 4 human). There are tons of multiplayer levels and DOUBLE the players you can choose (even ones from newer movies like "Tomorrow Never Dies" and "The World Is Not Enough!"

Astounding game with flawless graphics (overwhelmingly impressive for PS2's normally jagged lines). The levels are about 2x as long as they were in Agent Under Fire and 2x better! There is so much more to do and explore and you can always follow more than just one path! Finally, a bond with more than a straight line to follow!The game even has its own computer-animated opening sequence and theme song like a normal BOND Movie! The characters are beautiful and very realistic with NEARLY PERFECT mouth movements when speaking. The game is also probably 2x harder. Not too hard that you get annoyed with playing the same level over and over again but hard enough that u don't go thru the game in one hour like in "Agent Under Fire." Overall, A COMPLETE SUCCESS! GET IT NOW!

Bond, James Bond

WOW! That's really all I have to say about NightFire. While Agent Under Fire was a good game in itself, NightFire is the master of all first-person shooters. They have added a mode to play multi-player against drones, increased the realism down to the last detail (i.e. if your shell casings land in the water they float slowly down) Here's my breakdown

Gameplay: ***** There are more interesting levels, and more of them. You can drive Bond's V12 Vanquish (which turns into a submarine) and play much better multi-player

Graphics: ***** The graphics have been upgraded and so has the realism

Replay ***** You can play yourself in multi-player which is a big improvement over the repetitive missions in Agent Under Fire

All in all, I would give this 100 stars if I could!!!

Multi-Player Madness

I checked the reviews of this game and the write up from Amazon and could find nothing about a Multi-player mode. Well when I finally figured out that this game did have multi-player I ran out and bought it! I was sure glad I did, there are so many ways you can change the play... You can even take command of mini-helicopters and take out your opponents from the sky. Include that with the AI-Bots that allow you to compete all by yourself and you have one great improvement from Agent Under Fire. Congrats to EA for finally creating a Bond game that compares to Goldeneye! And did I mention that almost every multi-player level is HUGE? I don't want to neglect the single-player version, which is also very cool! Basically, if you enjoyed Agent Under Fire, this one just improves on everything!

One of the best FPS games this year.

This game has 12 different missions in all. All of the missions are fun to play and has plenty of action. You'll sneak around using your Q-Decryptor, laser watch, Q-Grapple and theres even an electrical stunner which is cleverly disguised as car keys. There are more gadgets to use, of course. You'll drive around a town and try to avoid cops while you race your way to the location where MI6 will pick you up because bad guys are chasing you. There are more cool places you'll be going.

Multi-player is also fun but the number of maps are very limited. The bots or the computer players are kind of dumb sometimes. Even if the maps are limited, the maps are very good. You'll fight in a deserted ski resort (you can use the cable cars!) , submarine pen and several other places. There are many characters to choose from too but you'll have to unlock them from single player mode first or you can just use the cheats.
You can use characters from the other Bond movies like Wai Lin (Tommorow Never Dies) or Christmas Jones (The World is Not Enough) The only bad thing about multi-player is that good guys can't fight each other in Multi-Player. So it can't be like Bond vs. Alura.

The score you get if mainly based on the Bond moves. Bond moves are... the name describes it self, ok? Ok, there are 3 ways into this castle. You want to get in there steathily. Go down the stairs and take the road to the castle and risk being spotted, shoot a guard below you and get spotted but gain a sniper rifle then take the road to the castle, or jump into the truck that happens to drive by. Yep, jump into that truck and you'll get more points added to your score which is likely to get you a prize if you do several other Bond moves and get a good score on the mission as well.

Nightfire has good replay value if you don't use the cheats. Aside from that one Multi-Player flaw (which isn't really that big) and sometimes dumb AI, and rare slowdowns in multi-player (only happened to me once and lasted for like 10 seconds), Nightfire is a great game and I highly reccomended that you buy it.

007:Nightfire, Bond is Back!

After playing and finishing James Bond 007: Nightfire .I was very impressed. The new story-line featuring Pierce Brosnan as James Bond really gives you the Bond feel and really adds realism not matched since Nintendo 64's legendary classic Golden Eye. 007: Nightfire easily is the best Bond game since Golden Eye After suffering disappoints from such bond games like The World is not Enough, Tomorrow Never Dies, and most recently Agent under Fire. However, Nigthfire breaks this losing streak. EA games have perfected the graphics and have enhanced the fun. During the game play you get wisecracks from `Q', and are equipped with some of his famous gadgets. Such as a micro-camera disguised as a cigar lighter, a regular suitcase that sports a Gatling-gun inside, and even a very cool flash-bang grenade disguised as a electric shaver. And a whole lot more. The sound of your weapons is also superb, with such classic Bond weapons as the Golden Gun, to silent Dart Guns, Sniper rifles, light machine guns and even Commando-style assault rifles. This game is not just a first-person shooter, you get to drive around in your awesome Aston Martin v12 Vanquish, too. This really adds a kind of fun aspect to the already impressive game-play. In addition, the glamorous, beautiful, and stunning Bond girls in the game are great. By adding such beauties as Dominique Paradis, Alura McCall, Zoe Nightshade, and the deadly `KiKo' Hayashi add a Bond charm feeling to the whole game. James Bond 007: Nightfire I feel is one of these gotta-have games. I was overwhelmed and found it hard to put down. I would defiantly add this to your Christmas list.

An amazing ground-breaking game from EA

The only bad part about Nightfire, however, is that the single player missions are too short and only take about half a week to beat considering that you play video games forty-five to sixty minutes per week. Nightfire makes up for that with a genuine multiplayer mode with plenty of maps and weapons to use both during when playing alone or with your friends.

007 Nightfire, like Playstation 2's other Bond game Agent Under Fire, breaks limits of how interesting a story can be and how you can be the only thing that stands against a madman that wants to rule the world. It is your job to fight your way to dozens of guards, create stealthy ways to sneak by enemies undetectedly, and get the good girl at the end. Nightfire is a game loaded with suspense and action but more on that will be revealed later. Now it's time for the story and ratings:

Level 1: Paris Prelude: As soon as you begin the game it launches you into this level where you are flying up high in a helicopter with a sniper rifle in Paris and need to protect a French agent by the name of Dominique who is being chased by thugs. Using your quick wit and accuracy, you can choose which way to take out these baddies. Shoot out their tires or simply shoot the gas to cause an unbelievable explosion. This level introduces you to the beautiful graphics that are in this game. As soon as you destroy the bad guys, you are forced into an Aston Martin, perhaps one of the most fast cars in the world. Now you can use such weapons as smoke and missiles to take your enemies. Rating: 8/10 because it was way too short and easy.

Level 2: The Exchange: This is the game's first level where you have to stealth. Your organization receives info that there are plans to fire nuclear missiles at Earth by a rich man named Raphael Drake and his army of soldiers including Armitage Rook, his bodyguard. You have to obtain information that proves that this is really true. After secretly sneaking into the castle, it turns into a pure shoot-em-up fight where you take out many of Drake's bodyguards and raise the alarm. Rating: 9.5/10 because it was an excellent and long level but no level can be perfect.

Level 3: Alpine Escape: You are on an snow vehicle and have to take out several racing mad men and a helicopter as you race through a forest of trees. Rating: 8/10 because it was fun but nonetheless short.

Level 4: Enemies Vanquished: Now you are back in your infamous Aston Martin and have to take out many enemies that follow you as well as find secret ways to escape. It all leads to a exploding battle with over four helicopters. Rating: 8.5/10 because I just don't like two racing and shooting levels following each other. I want variety.

Level 5: Double Cross: One of my least and most favorite mission particularly because you get a lot of shooting but it seemed too dark and long and a little scary because enemies sometimes pop out from behind rocks and weeds and start shooting you. You need to talk with Alexander Mayhew, a spy in Drake's federation who wants to tell you information but before long (surprise, surprise) Yakuza gansters soon take over and it is your job to fight threw them and save Mayhew. The good part about it, though, is that you finally get to use new weapons such as shotguns. Rating: 7.5/10 because it's entertaining but not the best level in the game.

Level 6: Night Shift: The worst level in the game because it is pure stealth and you only get a dart gun. You need to gather files from a computer at the top of the building. Rating: 6/10.

Level 7: Chain Reaction: - You are sent to the factory where Drake's weapons are supposedly produced. You have to prove that they truly exist and at the same time fight your way through guards and intelligent guards that track your move. Rating: 7.5/10 because it's a fun level but a little hard to beat on the first try.

Level 8: Phoenix Fire: - After seeing that the weapons truly do exist, you are captured by Drake and brought back to the level where you did Night Shift. The good part is now you get to simply kill everyone you see and not be afraid of being found. 9.7/10 because it is one of the best levels of the game and proves what a real Bond game should be about.

Level 9: Deep Descent: Now the fun starts. It's time to take out the Drake organization starting with this level where you are under water in your Aston Martin and have to disable communications so the men can't communicate with each other. After that, it's a complete shoot out with your torpedoes and missiles. 7.3/10 because it is a good level but still a little different from the others.

Level 10: Island Infiltration: This is a two part level where you begin with a SUV and have to destroy a group of machines that are used to protect Drake's compound. Then, you use a plane to take down almost all of Drake's men and blow up bridges which don't allow any of Drake's men to escape. Part 1 is 6.8/10 because it is fun to drive the SUV but you pretty much don't do anything. Part 2 is 9.0/10 because it is fun but probably the hardest level in the game. There is also a small part in the end where you sit in a tank and shoot down airplanes.

Level 11: Countdown: This is the longest and one of the best levels in the game because you are armed with awesome weapons like crossbows and grenade launchers. You take down two of Drake's most valuable soldiers: Rook and Kiko in two ultimate shoot-outs. The cutscene in the end where Kiko gets blasted away by the rocket's flame is pure genius. Anyway, you get into a rocket and follow Drake to space to stop him before he shoots missiles at the Earth. Rating: 9.8/10 because it is boat loads of fun.

Level 12: Equinox: This is a no gravity level where you're armed with a laser gun and nothing else. Besides defeating all of Drake's men and Drake himself you have to disarm all the missiles to save Earth. When it is over, Bond gets the girl and an awfully long credit scene begins. Rating: 8.8/10 because it is a good way to end the game but it's too short.

Overall, Nightfire deserves somewhere like 9.5 for the single player but the multiplayer only adds on to the experience. There's over ten different games you can play and many weapons to chose from. If you're looking for a good game to play with your friends, buy Nightfire.....

BOND is at his BEST!!!

Nightfire is the greatest 007 game of all time. The graphics, gadgets, guns, characters, controls and enviorments are all awesome and this Bond game goes way beyond a FPS (first person shooter) and lets you drive the V12 vanquish and other vehicels in 5 high speed levels and will even switch to a third person view at certain points. The cinamatics also contribute to this game's greatness with smooth transitions into the game play. The multiplayer mode is one of the greatest parts of this game because you can choose among ten different scenerios and take up arms as some of the most memorable Bond characters ever including Jaws, Goldfinger, Oddjob, Raynard, and Christmas Jones. This game is rated T for violence and is an extremley fun action game.
