The story mode has a great plot and numerous difficulty settings, however it is a bit too short.
   The multiplayer game is brilliant, the bots aren't brilliant but there are many characters to choose from and personalities along with game rules and weapon sets can be adjusted to a tee. While now in 2010 the graphics are slightly dated they do stand up somewhat. A fun game.… Expand

   What a great game. The multiplayer to this day is tough to beat. Shooter games are one genre that I find grows less fun as it gets moreWhat a great game. The multiplayer to this day is tough to beat. Shooter games are one genre that I find grows less fun as it gets more realistic, and this one has just the right blend of realism and, in certain spots, a fun lack thereof.… Expand

   Suit up and get ready for action because you're about to experience the life of an agent in 007: Nightfire. The 21st in the series, releasedSuit up and get ready for action because you're about to experience the life of an agent in 007: Nightfire. The 21st in the series, released in 2002, as James Bond you will combine stealth, efficiency and class as you carefully plan out approaches, strategies and takeouts all while using your secret agent gadgets to progress through each level. Unique in it's first-person style, there is a myriad of weapons, machinery and gadgets to choose from, all with their corresponding uses to finishing each individual mission. Complete with explosions, helicopters, hot babes and the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish, this game is sure to take you on an immersive journey that is reminiscent of that classic cinematic style we've come to know and love in movies today.
   
   The main quest can be easy to progress at times. There's very few levels that will leave you stumped trying to figure out the next objective but if you happen to get stuck somewhere, the game lends a hand by giving you a simple text hint in the menu options which can be useful at times, even when you aren't stuck on a mission. Now, What I'm about to say might just be a matter of opinion but I believe the speed of the character in the general sense, is a bit slow. While the movement is fluid in nature and you have vast freedom of control... the levels that this character was designed for almost seem out of place and could be aided with the help of added mobility or speed in some parts. Although, It's very satisfying to go through each level even after completion and I think this game has earned it's spot as one with a lot of replayability.
   
   You might think because of it's first-person experience, there isn't much that can be done in terms of control... I whole-heartedly disagree. After a quick look at the menu options, this game makes it easy for anyone to become a pro. It comes packed with 8 different control schemes all designed to do the exact same thing in a more comfy, easy and most importantly, personalized manner that you might not find in other similar games which could be the difference maker in terms of enjoyment and whether you think that game is good or not. It even goes a step further and gives you customizable Y-Axis inversion options in cause you're naturally comfortable with what's known as "reverse controls". Once you've found your niche, it's easy to target, aim, shoot, scroll, shift, slide, strafe in whatever creative ways you can think of, so I would advise to make use of this as early as possible, as it's very important.
   
   The ESRB rating on the box says T for Teen which makes it very accessible to just about anyone and the theme of the game just resonates well with typical consumable media that just about anyone can get behind. Again, this game... coming from a movie background, does a good job of blending in with the industry that also doesn't stray too far away from home. It's rare to see games like this fit so well and bring new elements to the table almost shaping what could become the inspiration for the next game developer to follow in it's footsteps and recreate that cinema-style video game, almost setting a new height for the genre in the process and that, my friends, can't be overlooked.
   
   As for the in-game details, There are some areas in the game that do seem a bit much for the game to handle at times but it's not a nuisance in a casual sense. Driving controls and just about anything that isn't on foot can lead itself to become harder than it needs to be but the design for these missions aren't intended to be that of a racing game so keep that in mind when you play this game. More often than not, you may find yourself rushing to use some of your gadgets when you don't really need to and likewise, not rushing to use them when you should... Overall, it's well-polished and in the moment, none of these things really ruined or interfered with the experience in terms of enjoyment so take that as you will.
   
   Now, when it comes to cinema turned video game, there's a lot of misconceptions and bias toward the idea that some movies are better left in their lane. Some people believe in the idea that a story told through the lens of a camera just won't translate well when left in the hands of someone with a controller. Perhaps a certain game company is just lacking the resources or confidence that are essential to creating the mechanics needed or the graphics suited for a self-sustained video game?
   The problem here isn't one that a game or even film company is to blame for. The problem here is that you rarely get a group of people to go the extra mile like 007: Nightfire does. When you play this game, it is immediately eminent the time and effort put into every last detail made specifically for your personal enjoyment. I myself have not played any of the other 007 games but after this one of a kind experience, it's definitely something I look forward to mark on my calendar in the
   near future.… Expand
