Ok, let's get crack'n, I'll tell you what you'll actually WANT to know.

The 1player mod:
Short and sweet.
It has a very "bond-like" feel, the story and charecters are very well done.

Graphics are amazing, they facial expression even changes in your enemies. There are alot of fun things you can do, like sneak up behind your enemy, and make him surrender. You can also use your stun-taser, which is always fun.

The AI is VERY good, snipers are very skilled, and you'll have to work hard in some levels just to stay out of their range.

The downside to all this? It is short, I played it... diligantly... for 4 days and got to the last level, though winning a platnum or gold in every level will prove itself much more diffecult.

Multiplayer:

Fun fun fun. As always, shooting your friends gives you endless entertainment. The feel, while at first seems hard to get used to, is very good. You won't have auto-aim in multiplayer at first, but you can just go to the options screen and turn it on.

The levels are really well done, most of them are peices from the 1-player levels. The best level in multiplayer isn't used much though, because bots can't play in it. You actually have to have some one else there to play it. There are a few levels I would've liked to see in multiplayer that weren't, but oh well. I don't think I can unlock any, but only time will tell.

The multiplayer weapons are somewhat disapointing. It has enough weapons to satisfy, but you can't make your own set! I wish I could choose specificly what weapons I play with instead of just "pistols" or "power weapons".

The random weapon set is usually alot of fun though.

Alot of multiplayer skins are available to unlock, (including oddjob who can throw his hat... wickedawesome feature, dude) the only problem is that the unlockable charecters aren't changeable. (in other words, I can't make them easy)

You can have up to 6 bots, and change their personality ALOT, down to their reaction time.

All in all, I'd recommend it, best bond game to date.

James bond at his best!!!!

Nightfire is an awesome game. It's really cool because you can pick any gun that you have picked up. My favorite gun would have to be the tactical sniper because it has an excellent scope so you can shoot guys from hundreds of feet away. I also like the sentinel. It's sort of like a rocket launcher but you can guide it. The only bad thing in this game is that guys can shoot you through metal doors using a hand gun. And the other bad thing is that the game goes by too fast. For you good gamers out there this will go too fast for you because some missions are real easy, but others are real challenging. This game has excellent graphics and sound. The storyline is also great. I wouldn't rent it first I'd just go and buy it. This game is awesome and for you gamers out there who like James Bond this is the game for you. Four and a half stars.

Nightfire, a good game for Gamecube

I have been trying to get my hands on 007 Nightfire for quite some time now. When i didnt have a gamecube, last Christmas (almost a year ago), my parents bought it for me for the PC. Likewise, it did not work and i had to return it. I did this only to learn that it did not work on Windows XP (the computer that I happened to have). So i asked a friend to burn it, it still didnt work so i gave up.
Last August (my birthday) I received a Gamecube with Zelda wind waker, rayman 3 and ssbm. I bought Nightfire and Super Monkey ball 2 with my birthday money. Excited that i finally had it: I anxiously opened it and fired up the Gamecube. The long wait was definetly work it.

I will seperate this review into a few columns.

PROS: Excellent graphics, much better that previous 007 games.
Single player missions are longer.. and harder.
Excellent multiplayer capability, there are now 6 bots, different weapons, explosive scenery (needs to be unlocked) and many types of games unlike Goldeneye with a mere four or five.
Single player missions are a lot more versatile. You can go into a car, sub, helicopter, its very fun.
The storyline is good and fairly unpredictable. My friend and I thought that Bond was going on the Pheonix team after he was captured.

CONS:
In Multiplayer, the people move SO SLOW compared to goldeneye, which i also have. This is REALLY annoying until you get used to it.
Controls are hard to get used to from the previous 007 games, especially from the N64 controller: Goldeneye.

Overall this game is good for previous 007 owners and a very good game.

Awesome!!!

It definetly is better than AGENT UNDER FIRE. Much better graphics, weapons, and villians. And a great plot to. The voice might be a little off for James Bond, but the overall game is fantastic. You can play it over and over. The multiplayer might need some work though. Overall, i recommend you to but this game. For expirienced gamers it may take aroung 2 weeks to beat. But, it is a little to short.

Great first person shooter

This is a great first person shooter. There aren't enough single player missions, but the main thing about this game is multiplayer. There are many characters, tons of weapons (but you can't get all of them in one game, which is a disapointment), and lots of replay value. However, the stages are a little too dark, and it may be hard to see on some TVs.

EA's new one almost measures up to Goldeneye 64.

When I first picked up Nightfire, I thought, "Sweet ass!". Being a longtime fan of the N64 Goldeneye, I had high expectations which were mostly met and more. My only problem was getting used to the C-stick method of aiming and the clumsy auto-aim. Guns feature secondary functions a la Perfect Dark and the multiplayer kicks serious ass.

GET THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fun game! fun multiplayer! awesome one one player!! (ive beaten it 4 times) if you even remotely liked agent underfire youl love this game! multiplayer is the best! NO JOKE!!!! cutscenes are exciting too! the only problem is that to kill a guy you have to shoot him like 35 times. it sucks.but other than that its good and worth adding to your collection!



James Bond 007: Nightfire

This in its own right is the first game that truly gives the true bond expierence. I enjoyed it more than every James Bond game exept for Goldeneye. Every Bond game has lived in its shadow and so does Nightfire, but not as much as the rest of the bond titles. Goldeneye is the best bond in my opinion, but doesn't give the best impression of the charismatic James Bond himself. This game is more like a James Bond movie than a game and really develops every character and shows the side of James Bond as much as a movie does.
Nightfire is about a Japanese based company that hopes in changing world government in favor for one government that
controls the planet with an arsenal of nuclear weapons and 007 of MI6 is the last hope for the world. The graphics are a ten out of ten. Pierce Brosnan looks almost real and the voice overs are really good. This is a very realistic first person shooter that no Gamecube owner should be without.


Awesome Game, A Must Have

Okay, I don't own Nightfire. Well, I did own it, but...it's a long story. Anyway, this is one of two Bond games I have played (the other being Everything or Nothing) and it is fantastic. From the graphics to the gameplay, ALMOST everything about this game is perfect.

GAME MODES: Nightfire Mode (a.k.a. Single Player) is a lot of fun as you, 007, battle the evil Raphael Drake and his henchmen. The plot deals with Drake using nuclear weapons to dominate the world (rather unoriginal for a Bond movie but good enough for a game.) As 007, you must work your way through 12 action-packed missions. My favorites are:

The Exchange

Double Cross

Night Shift

Chain Reaction

Phoenix Fire

Multiplayer is also a terrific feature of Nightfire. You can have players on either M16 or the Phoenix team. It is a blast blowing up bad guys with rocket launchers or taking them down with a sniper rifle.

GRAPHICS: 10 out of 10. The characters look very realistic, plus Bond's surroundings look great too.

REPLAY VALUE: Not very high. Since Nightfire is not a very difficult game, once you beat it, you may have had enough of it.

GAMEPLAY: Fantastic! Show off your spy skills as you infiltrate a Tokyo skyscraper and South Pacific island, pick off snipers one by one at a nuclear power plant, and battle Drake in space.

Overall, I think that 007: Nightfire is a very good Bond game. Highly recommended to Bond fans or shoot 'em up game fans.
