Nightfire: The Best Bond Game since 007 Goldeneye

I went into this title expecting Nightfire to be Agent Under Fire with new levels. Boy, was I wrong. Nightfire is the game Bond fans have been waiting for.

Most people think this game is on the short side. Are you blind? Sure, it only has 12 levels, but with 4 medals to unlock on each level, three difficulty levels, and multiple ways to beat a level, it is a long game. This game is the closest you'll get to playing Goldeneye on Gamecube.

The graphics are amazing. Bond moves, talks, and moves like Pierce Brosnan. The environments are gorgeus with combustable objects, and animated objects.

Multiplayer is a delightful suprise. Sheer Bond nostalgia is present. I found myself playing as Oddjob, Jaws, May Day and even Nick Nack. There is also A plethorea of modes. I found myself finding the halves of the goldeneye key, and assassinating a random target.

Goldeneye's Twin Brother, With Better Graphics

Nightfire is an amazing game. While its graphics are not actually that spectacular, when compared to Metroid Prime or Mario Sunshine, they are quite solid. More importantly, the graphic style reminds me of Goldeneye--relying on great poly counts rather than 'textures,' like World is not Enough and Agent Under Fire did.

In addition to graphics, gameplay and control are wonderful. The sensitivity of the controls is just right, even if it isn't customizable like Halo. Also, the actual setup has a plethora of different modes, so you can play whatever way makes you comfortable.

And the levels. Brilliantly designed, for the most part. Though they're not all perfect (I did not particularly live level 1), most are great. The one where you're fighting the Yakuza in Mayhew's estate?--fantastic! And when you start out on a rooftop, surrunded by smipers, and with only a smiper rifle, a pistol and a prayer? Sensational! With multiple ways to complete any level (do I choose the door, or the zipline?), and meaty guns (no more being stuck with a pathetically innacurate sub-machine gun!), I at least was more than satisfied. I'm particularly happy that you now no longer run out of lives, so if you're stuck at the end of a level, you can keep trying until you win!

But as with Goldeneye, the one player mode-however sensational!-is just icing on the cake. Multiplayer is Nightfire's heart and soul, and it doesn't disappoint. While numerous old-school characters, lot's of unlockable modes, and customizable bots are great, the two most important aspects are also there in abundance: guns and good levels. For example, it's a lot of fun to be guiding a missile towards a seemingly unsuspecting friend, when he shoots it down with an assault rifle! Now that's cool!

All in all, Nightfire is a very cool one player and multiplayer game. It's also very, very good, but the active word here is cool. You can even upgrade your camera, to find hidden snipers with a bio-target designator! The point is, this is a masterpiece worthy of your money.

This game is awesome

This game is so sweet I recommend it to anyone who likes shoot em up games, and anyone who doesn't. I've beat it three times, it is so fun, yet challenging!! It is awesome.

I Love it!

It's the best! It kept my friend and I busy for 8 hours but for 1 player get a guide and some cheats. This game is addictive and it takes a long time to beat. In multiplayer The AI system constantly rotates a character path and favorite places. You never get tired of it. The game may cause headaches sinus preassure,and red face and ears.

Maybe better than goldeneye

This game is pretty good, the only thing is that it is too short, only 12 missions. The controls are fine but when you have to switch weaponds or gadgets you have to be completely stopped, it requires the same finger. The driving controls are fine, its rare that weapons are used on the a and b buttons and accelerating and braking in the L and R buttons. The voices and characters of the game are well done. Bond looks like Pierce Brosnan.

This game is brilliant. The single player adventure is small but sweet, the graphics are good but could be better. there are 12 missions 5 of them are in a vehicle: V12 vanquish, snowmobile, helicopter and the space rocket. The storyline is OK its about a guy called rafael drake stealing hardware from nasa and other companies. And using them for his space satelite weapon, to dominate the world. There are three different levels of difficulty. If your really not that good at shooting games and keep getting stuck, choose easy difficulty and believe me you won't get stuck or frustrated I've never been on any 007 games and always got stuck on other games. and I ended out a 007 wiz. But if you are a 007 maniac try the hardest difficulty, I find it impossible, but you'll probably find a way. It is extremly addictive and you'll get hooked to this game for hours. The multiplayer is brilliant there are 10 different multiplayer games 5 of them you have to win out of single player, but I reccomend team arena, put in missile mode. And you will love the samaria (extremly beaming explosive gun) and you don't two players on controllers to play it just put in some computer players In (AI robots).

the best

ok. i got this game 2 days ago. I'm already on the last mission. your probably thinking that oh he beet it in two days its not going to be any good. well your wrong. One of the only reasons i beat it is because i couldn't leave the game. PLus i play other missions over and over again because they are so great. Not to mention multiplayer. It definately has one of the best multiplayer systems ever. I play hours on it, just by myself! When i have a friend come over there is no end to us playing against bots on all the different multiplayer levels. Definately get this game. Even if you just go for multiplayer games or if your a hard core single player gamer. this is the game for you.

Excellent Game

This is an overall excellent game, but then...what else should be expected from anything produced by Nintendo right? Graphics and animation are very life like, though they do not rival games like Halo or Splinter Cell (which i have pre-ordered and will soon be reviewing that too).

The gameplay is captivating, however the story line hardly backs it up. Smooth, fast-paced, and action packed...this is a must have or for any 007 fan or shooter fan.

The multiplayer: A huge improvement over the former Bond games allowing a maximum of 6 AI bots to challenge (and u can make them pretty damn hard too) and maximum of 4 human players. Large levels add to the very much improved sniping, which is a must have for any combat game, however...do not look for sniping such as that in Halo, because the game was obviously not made with that purpose. Decent close combat weapons with plenty of explosives make for an all-round classic 007 game.

The single player: A little short(try 12 levels), and not much of a story, but that is more than made up for by the playable missions combining combat and stealth (dont look for too much of the latter). Women, evil villains, and its very own intro music video, its almost like a movie, if u like any previous 007 games, go get this one.

Awesome

I think this game ia great! I got it for Christmas and I still think it's an awesome game. I like the special multiplayer features like the helicopters and tanks. I also enjoy the characters from all the classic Bond films. it's pretty cool that they have Pierce Brosnan's voice into the game. This is definitly th best Bond game Ever!

A very good game

This is an awsome game. The sigle player has 12 levels and they are all differant adding to the games replay value. The multiplayer is the best part of this game. You can make bots and change the weapon set to include trip mines or sentils(guided missals) You can change your health and there is a lot of differant weapons. This game never gets boring i would give it a 7 out of 5. The graphics are above standere gamecube graphics. I love this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
