Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
You can't keep him off the telly on a bank holiday and nowadays he seems to be almost as prevalent in the gaming world. That's right: James Bond is back on your consoles in 007 NightFire--and ready to endorse a bottle of vodka near you.
Games companies are weird. This release comes in the same year as the 40th anniversary of James Bond, as well as Die Another Day, the 20th film to feature the loveable old womanising drunk. So what do EA, proud bearers of the 007 games license, do? They make a game based on an amalgamation of all the Bond movies, with their own "original" story line, then go and stick Pierce Brosnan's face and a bunch of clips from Die Another Day in it. Whaaaat?
Bizarre marketing decisions aside, this 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 multi-player mode. Following on from GoldenEye is a bit like being asked to make Citizen Kane 2, but EA have 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 multi-player mode is also good, with 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 shooter pile. --David Jenkins
P2 Magazine
"Fast-paced and varied, with a lot to keep Bond fans happy. 8/10."

EA's best bond yet,
By A Customer
This review is from: James Bond 007: Nightfire (PS2) (Video Game)
I played this for a few days with some mates, and I was expecting it to be a bit rubbish. However, I was very impressed. The game overall is the best bond other than GoldenEye, and a worthy partner to the new James Bond film hitting the screens at this same time. The graphics are similiar to Agent Under Fire, but more detailed, and bond actually looks like Pierce Brosnan(despite not sounding like him). Gun controls have also been improved, with nearly all weapons having two different actions (eg:a certain pistol has both semi automatic fire or burst fire)this adds lots more variety and fun.The multiplayer is a great laugh, with up to four people meeting up and, well, shooting each other to the death. The locations and characters in the multiplayer are from both the game's story and other Bond films, like Fort Knox from Goldfinger and Jaws from The Spy Who Loved Me. And, despite still being an FPS at heart, there are some on rails and driving missions to boot. NightFire doesn't bring anything new or revoloutionary to the shoot 'em up genre, but it's pure fun and pure bond... and isn't that what counts?

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: James Bond 007: Nightfire (PS2) (Video Game)
NO game compares to the multiplayer on this, me and my friends love running about, capturing the other teams flag, blowing each other to pieces with helicoptors and sniping one another from the rooftops. Single player is good as well with a good variety of missions and a bold storyline. EVERYONE with a PS2, GET THIS GAME! You will not regret.

Very good - Great Multiplayer function,
By A Customer
This review is from: James Bond 007: Nightfire (PS2) (Video Game)
This is a great game! The levels are well designed and are fun to play. There are lots of different levels which can be played on three different difficulties.However, the best part about this game is the multiplayer function. There are loads of different games which can be unlocked by playing levels but also with cheats. I have played on the multiplayer function so many times that I know the best ways to play it back to front! By the way, if you play multiplayer, always choose Skyrail as your location - it is the best!
