  1. Superb craftsmanship, inventive scripting, wonderful acting, brilliant enemy AI, and sumptuous graphics are all placed in a huge, varied, and intensely colorful 60s setting by a team clearly bestowing care and love on their work and product.

    Great characters, unbelievable level design, well-executed game-engine cut scenes, outstanding voice acting and style that just won't quit, No One Lives Forever is the best game I've played in far too long.
  3. So imaginative, colorful and funny that it serves to remind us how insufferably gloomy and witless most shooters are.
  4. A very fresh action romp with tons of cheekiness - maybe too much. [Jan 2001, p.129]

    Great story. NOLF's overall performance was 2 thumbs up. I'd play it over and over again!

    This game is really amazing and incredible, because she look pretty and intelligent.
  3. The game is unrealistic, very funny, spy - like shooter, but stealth component work not so well...also enemies are always same, and that is in late game little bit boring...good game anyway, even if released 12 years ago... Collapse

    This game would have got a perfect 10 if it wasn't so buggy. This game constantly freezes. But I suppose if you had an awesome computer system you would love this game. Expand
