James Bond 007 - Nightfire (GC)

007 Nightfire is the latest in the James Bond series of games to be released, arriving in the UK in late November of last year. The series has so far been very variable, ranging from the quite superb Goldeneye on the N64, to the bland and uninspiring Agent under Fire that came out on PS2 and Gamecube in 2001, and the X Box in 2002. Although I have played Bond games before, this is the first I have owned - it came a part of the package with my PS2 (although my research tells me that on its own it retails at £35 to £40). As the name suggests, this game is based around the exploits of James Bond 007; more precisely it is a first person shooter with plenty of guns, ...  Read the complete review

This has to be the best bond game since 007 Goldeneye. the game's one player is good enough to have a story thats keeps you somewhat interested, and a good gameplay which is fun yet simple to play. The game includes a variety of missions in the one player, to sneaking around undetected, to going in guns blazing, using super gadgets to get the job done and the odd driving experince in the astin martin and even on a snowmobile. the game is full of fun things to do. The best part of the game however for me was the multiplayer. With some friends over not only was it fun to kill each other as you run around many levels, but you could also have computer controlled ...  Read the complete review

Nightfire is a mission-based First Person Shooter (FPS) starring everyone’s favourite super-spy, James Bond. On yet another mission to save the planet from some evil genius (plot isn’t really important…), he takes on hordes of enemies at locations such as a castle on top of a snow-bound mountain, heavily defended bases with more surveillance than you can shake a stick at, a penthouse that contains far more than meets the eye, an underwater training base simulating outer space… our James certainly gets around a bit. And of course we have the Bond girl… well, several Bond girls in fact, aiding him at different stages of the game. We also have of course the Bond ...  Read the complete review

Its ver easy to draw comparisons of this game to the N64's Stunning Goldeneye, I'll try my best not to do so. Nightfire begins with a tutorial level, designed to be like the pre-titles sequence in a Bond film. It's actually quite good, with a rather good ending topped off with a Bond like title song. You are then thrown straight into the action with a rather good level based at Rafael Drake(The Bond Villain)'s castle. However, this seems to go on all too long, as the next two levels are based on Bond's escape and getaway, which seems to take up rather a lot of the game. The plot of the game is actually quite good, and rather better than ...  Read the complete review

I first got this game a year ago in December, currently the game in my gamecube is that game. I play loads ogf games and that is my favourite. This game has everything a person who is addicted to action could want. Most people think 'Oh, its a James Bond game, they are all the same' or they think 'It's a game for boys, i dont want that'. THIS IS A UNISEX GAME anyone can play it, just give it a chance and you will de addicted. In the last James Bond game there was a mission where you had to get through a door with a padlock on it, so you had to shoot it. In this game there is a safe you have to get through, rather then shooting it, you have to use a lazer ...  Read the complete review
