Editorial Reviews :
James Bond is back--in cinemas in Die Another Day and on consoles in NightFire--and ready to endorse a bottle of vodka near you. But games companies are weird. It’s the 40th anniversary of the first James Bond movie this year, and Die Another Day, the 20th film to feature the lovable old womanizing drunk, is out at Christmas. So what does EA, proud bearer of the 007 games license, do? They make a game based on an amalgamation of all the Bond movies, with their own 'original' storyline, then go and stick Pierce Brosnan’s face and a bunch of clips from Die Another Day in it. Whaaaa?
Bizarre marketing decisions aside, this looks like it could finally be the game to come out from behind the shadow of the seminal N64 classic GoldenEye. Which means, of course, that this is a stealthy first-person shooter (with a few car-racing levels thrown in for good measure) bolted onto a cracking multiplayer mode. Following GoldenEye is a bit like being asked to make Citizen Kane 2, but EA has sensibly gone back to the spirit of the original, and NightFire is much more strategic than their last attempt, the rather shallow Agent Under Fire. Once again you can learn a pathological hatred of security cameras as you use an even wider array of Q gadgetry to kill people without them even noticing.
The multiplayer mode is also looking good, with some much meatier weapons than last time, including a particularly fun remote-control missile launcher. People are always crooning about nobody doing it better than Bond, but in the gaming world that’s not always been true; with this game, though, it looks like he’s taken the ejector seat straight to the top of the first-person shooting pile.
Buyer Reviews :
NightFire is definetly the best 007 game EA Games has ever made, but it still is not as good as GoldenEye(okay, the grahpics stank, but it was an N64 game.) The multi-player is great, and the levels for it are really good. You don't have the custom guns select anymore, but it's still good. One-player is great, but to the experienced gamer, it's very easy. I've had the game for about a week now, and I've beaten the game. I can see some of the levels being fun to play over and over again. The levels are not quite as long as I'd like them to be either. There are only 12 levels too, which is hardly any. GoldenEye had 20 long, dfficult missions. Multi-player won't get boring for a while though. There are about 8 scenarios, and I haven't played them all yet! Bottom line: Buy the game only if you play lots of the multi-player. If you just want to play one-player, rent it; you'll beat it in a week.
