Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Who'd have thought that the exploits of a secret agent could be so underwhelming? Agent Under Fire isn't exactly boring--in fact, the first time you play you're sure to be impressed by the suave looks and immaculate presentation. But it soon becomes clear that this is no sophisticated vintage Bond homage; it's a fleetingly entertaining blast that just happens to feature a famous British secret agent. Which isn't to say that there aren't enjoyable elements here. There're a couple of Crazy Taxi-influenced levels that work well, as well as some mildly diverting "on-rails" shooter stages. At heart, though, like N64 masterpiece GoldenEye, this is a first-person shooter and one that suffers badly in comparison with that game.
There are clever gadgets to amuse yourself with, as well as frequent set pieces in the form of "Bond moves" that will delight the casual fan. But more experienced players will find the lack of depth here distressing. The real problem, though, is the "intelligence" of the enemies. These are the dumbest bad guys you'll ever encounter in a video game. Coupled with the unerring accuracy of your auto aim, you could complete much of the game blindfolded. Consequently, it's difficult to feel much satisfaction, even upon saving the world. The developers have at least made an effort with different styles of play and a decent multiplayer mode, but Agent Under Fire is (at best) a good-ish game in a genre full of great alternatives. Be careful with your next Bond license, Mr EA--it may be your last. --Steve Colton
Product Description
In James Bond: Agent Under Fire the player must defeat the evil criminal mastermind Malprave, head of a rising terrorist organisation that is bent on ruling the world with an army of clones. Helping players along the way Agent Under Fire is Zoe Nightshade and a cast of familiar characters. Each of the more than 10 exotic locations around the world contains a generous offering of challenging, well-balanced missions and objectives.
Agent Under Fire lets players accomplish mission objectives by blasting through with high-tech weaponry, or by relying on state-of-the-art gadgets and nerve-tingling stealth. The driving levels feature an array of 007-inspired exotic cars and automotive combat from the Bond movies. Other key features include the all-new story line that builds on the Bond legacy with villains and allies, both new and familiar; three well-balanced gameplay style experiences for the single player (action, stealth and driving); a full arsenal of Q-lab weapons, gadgets and autos; and fluid action inspired by the 007 films.
There are also enormous, detailed, 3-D environments to be experienced through the eyes of Bond. Agent Under Fire will utilise next-generation console technology to help bring life full environmental physics and detailed 3-D environments, such as a massive deep-sea oil rig set atop a secret underwater base. Includes single and multiplayer modes (support for up to four players).

At last, something to rival Goldeneye!,
By CJ "Books, films, games, you name it - I love... (UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: James Bond: Agent Under Fire (PS2) (Video Game)
Agent Under Fire is a superb Bond game (and we've waited a while). It has the weapons (sadly with made-up names for some reason), the gadgets, the cars, the girls, and thank God some cheesy Bond wisecracks as well.The developers have even gone to the trouble of inventing their own plot, which although not very original, is suitably Bond-esque and at least gives them free reign so they don't have to fit in with a movie. The action switches between first person shooting, on-rails shooting and driving, all of which are suprisingly good. There are 'Bond moves' (shooting crane ropes to drop crates on henchmen, etc.) that trigger the old Bond theme and get you bonus points. Working these out adds a lot to the game, as higher scores unlock better weapons, multiplayer maps, etc. Agent Under Fire is a great game and a wonderful Bond experience, even the control is good by PS2 FPS standards, but sadly it has one major problem - the single player game is too short!! You are left wanting more but all you have is too replay the missions to try to get better scores, which has limited attraction. But still, a great addition to any PS2 games collection.

Surprisingly Good,
By
This review is from: James Bond: Agent Under Fire (PS2) (Video Game)
When I first put this on my initial thoughts were that the missions were too short grahpics were good but, it was just an average shoot em up.I was wrong, after playing on I soon became envolved in the plot whilst at the same time I took emence pleasure in shooting down the bad guys. This game is all about action and entertainment, just like the films. throughout the missions, if your observant enough you'll notice different ways of approaching missions, either by stealth or the rather more bashfull approach. There are also driving missions, I won't spoil the surprise by describing them, all I will say you won't be dissapointed. The car handling isn't exactly World Rally Champ style, but it suits this game perfectly, fast, smooth, and packed with fire power. Graphics are excellent, the frame rate is smooth and very quick (as we should expect on a PS2). Over all this is a good entertaining game that has been well put together. I'd rent before you buy if possible, but if you know you want an action game that is a non stopn adrenaline rush with no silly minor faults, this is the one.

James Bond in Agent Under Fire,
By james taylor (Dovercourt, Essex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: James Bond: Agent Under Fire Platinum (Video Game)
James Bond 007 in... Agent Under Fire is a great game which i played three years ago and decided to buy it. The level design is fantastic and the missions are very playable. There are however two things wrong with Agent Under Fire. 1. The control system is very dodgy because the controls are difficult to remember and 2. Some of the levels are either too easy or too short. But all in all, the game is a must-buy and one not to miss. Buy it now!
