I'm sick of these wack sequels to Goldeneye. I'm going to buy this game when it comes out-but if it's just like Agent Under Fire or TWINE i'll never buy another bond game as long as i live. so i'll give it the benefit of the doubt for now. *****

This better be good

I plan to buy this when it comes out, just like the other guy said, if it is anything like agent under fire I will never buy another bond game again. They could have atleast made a multiplayer mode.

The best game there will be that is offline only

If you people didn't like Agent Under Fire then why do u think this game will be so different. It's made by the same company as Agent Under Fire, and it's not Rareware who made Goldeneye. Dosen't everyone know that by now? Anyway, I liked Agent Under Fire for some reason, and they say this is as close to Goldeneye as a Bond game can get, and I liked Goldeney a lot, so I'm gonna buy this game when it comes out (NOW).

Greatest Bond Game Ever!!!

This game is the best bond game ever created. I used to play goldeneye a whole lot but this does not even come close to Goldeneye. The graphics are very realistic and game control is excellent. This game is very fun to play and I don't get tired of it. The game is packed with great missions and multiplayer mode if you are playing with friends. This is one of my favorite games ever. I strongly recommend it.

pretty cool game

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!

The Best Yet

James Bond 007: Nightfire offers incredible graphics and clever similarity to the nostalgia of the 007 legacy; however, in terms of gameplay and features, Nightfire has few attributes which place it above all previous 007 games. The story mode is very short, in fact I finished the game the night I bought it, and consider myself a mediocre gamer. Instead of having more levels, the game is intended to be played repeatedly in an attempt to "earn" all of the upgrades...a boring plan to extend gameplay. Unfortunately for 007, the release of Timesplitters 2 set higher expectations than Electronic Arts could have anticipated when they conceived the limited multiplayer features--which are more limited by having most features locked. Making things more difficult, the game limits which characters may face each other in Multiplayer Maps--why can't Bond and Zoe Nightshade face off in a multiplayer shoot-out? Even more bothersome, many of the upgrades and game concepts--gold rewards...ha ha ha--came directly from Agent Under Fire. EA fell quite short of the competition this Christmas with this release in light of Timesplitters 2 which boasts 100 playable characters, 76 game levels, system link mode, and enough challenges to last for several continuous weeks. As for Nightfire, rent before you buy!

Great single player, poor multiplayer

As the title of this review suggets, the single player aspect of nightfire has quite a lot to offer. The game touts good graphics, smooth action, and pretty good sound. It does a ggod job mixing up the action (first person shooter with a bit of driving crazyness thrown in to boot) and fans of Medal of Honor will appreciate the "i am riding in a vehicle shooting a big gun" parts of nightfire. The AI of the enemies is pretty good, but not much of an improvement over what the originator of the bond series (goldeneye) had to offer. The array of gadgets is fun to play with and the weapons are well balanced. All of these things are well implimented and run together smoothly adding up to a decent, though very average, first person shooter. What saves this game from this fate and makes the single player a great experience is the non-linearity of the levels. There are several ways to complete most of the levels, and this added depth, with its emphasis on stealth really adds alot of depth to the gaming expereince that nightfire offers. All in all it makes quite a fun little game.

The multiplayer is another option, however. There were some good ideas implimented in the multiplayer portion (bots and lots of cool senarios). However, there is one glaring problem, the weapons are poorly balanced. There are far too many WAY too powerful weapons. I belive that weapons balancing is one of hte most critical parts of a good multiplayer game. Poorly blalanced weapons turns most matches into a game of who has the big gun, not who is the better gamer. It also makes the enjoyment of the multiplayer highly dependent on the set of weapons that you choose, thus eliminating much of the variety that could have been offered. This is pretty much ruined the multiplayer aspect for me.

All in all Bond is an above average game; a great single player game teammed up with a truly disapointing multiplayer game.

But, that is just my opinion.
