Summary: No One Lives Forever 2
Review: - Possible Monolith's (the people behind this game) strongest side in game making is their wierd sence of humor and the Lithtech engine wich is being developed by their sister company.- No One Lives Forever 2 is a great game, and have everthing what NOLF 1 had plus more. Alltough, its not perfect. The storyline wasent so great as the first game, plus the final release of the game had incredible many bugs... I suggest you download ever darn official patch you can find for this game wich fixes thosse bugs. Oh... Another thing, the game requiers a strong computer. Make sure your system is way over the requierments before buying the game, cause the Lithtech engine is a unnessacery heavy engine. But, all in all, i was very satisfied with the game...

Summary: insane computer requirements
Review: I gave this game 1 star because we were unable to install it on our 2002 computer. It has a particular sound/video card requirement that would require an update for our pc. Unfortunately, we had to return it to Sierra for a refund. Of course, "Best Buy" would not take it back. Lesson there somewhere. Read the fine, fine print very carefully.

Summary: killer game and DM
Review: Yet another groundbreaker when it comes to gameplay and graphics. The whole singleplayer experience is superb and enjoyable. My only wish was that the singleplayer module would have been as long as NOLF1's. NOLF2 comes in at about half the total length of the first one. However, the graphics are great and there is a new DeathMatch patch available. The deathmatch mode is arguably the funnest there is todate. 'nothin like the total online bliss of seeing your opponents walk straight into your beartrap, or get mauled by the AngryKitty ;)

Summary: Awesome Game!!!
Review: It's has been long time since I've played a good single-player first person shooter. I must say the NOLF2 is a class above many other games I've played in the past. Its graphics presentations' are sweet, it has decent audio and extremely fun gameplay. Though its humour is a little slapstick, one can't help but laugh. It's good fun!!!

Summary: COOP PLAY is awesome!!!
Review: I love this game...being able to play cooperatively with a buddy is awesome...it is a blast to hook up with a friends and strategize while playing. I only hope that more games come out that allow coop play. Halo did it and that was the most fun my buddy and I have had playing a 1st person shooter...NOLF2 is right up there.

Summary: Sequel Better Than Original
Review: To begin, I must say that this installment does wonder off from
realistic story line and introduces an uber soldat for you to
battle. Besides this, the game is awesome. Graphics: the detail is totally amazing, I can't even imagine
how many triabgles are used for the characters - they look so
good. However, to have the best performance a P4 2G + gForce 4
are recommended if you want the full detail - like the reflection
off the ice. Gameplay: a myriad of new weaponry (some of which I found
useless - like the laughing gas grenade). Enemies: you will face Soviets, Indians, HARM agents, and the
super soldier(Project Omega). Overall - great game, ask for it for Christmas.

Summary: What Autin Powers should have been like.
Review: Having never played the first installment, I can't vouch for NOLF2's faithfulness as a sequel. Apparently some fans of the first NOLF were a bit disappointed. Regardless, I am now officially hooked on Cate Archer. "A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way" beautifully captures all the feel, textures, and sounds of 60's spy flicks with an absolutely delightful sense of humor. Yes, this is basically another first-person shooter with an entrance and exit to each level, fairly linear missions, and several "bosses" to defeat, but enough was going on in between to keep me very interested. I found the levels and missions were also varied enough between stealth, shoot-em-up, investigation, riding on a snowmobile, and downgright silliness, to keep things from getting dull. The graphics are gorgeous and show excellent use of the lithtec jupiter engine. All the locales from snowy Siberia to the caves of HARM's secret underground headquarters (complete with artificial lava) are very well done. I especially enjoyed the retro 60's look in HARM's undersea lab and UNITY's headquarters. The sounds and music are also outstanding. One level has Cate doing some investigating in a trailer park in Ohio - with a full blown tornado in the background. While inside, the sounds of the
wind battering and rattling the house are quite unnerving. Once outside, total chaos reigns with sounds of debris striking off of and embedding itself in various surfaces while the wind roars in the background and trailers roll over. The music is top-notch and perfectly matches each locale and the 60's theme. The music also changes appropriately depending on the action. As far as weapons go, you always start each mission with just a small array, but every level has plenty of weapons to find with a little looking. As is the case with the game in general, weapons range from the typical shoot-em-up ak47's and tommy guns, to spy gadgets like tranquilizer darts and stun guns, to the plain absurd like laughing gas grenades, explosive mechanical kitties, and my favorite hands-down - the banana! It's really the characters, though, that made the game for me. The voice acting is movie quality and all of the NPC's are done very well. And, unlike the Austin Powers series, there is no shameless mugging or gross humor here, which implies that the creators of this game know what real humor is - namely grabbibg a tommy-gun and hopping on the back of a kiddie tricycle being peddaled by your burly Scottish sidekick (kilt and all) in pursuit of a 3 foot mime/arch-criminal on a unicycle through the back streets of an Indian city. System specs: P4 1.9ghz, 512mb rambus, TI4600 Geforce4 128mb, Soundblaster live X-gamer. Performance was flawless.

Summary: Awesome fun
Review: Nolf 2 is one of the funniest and original games I've played this year. There is truly laugh out loud parts that make it extremely enjoyable. The tricycle and unicycle race comes to mind. I had very little technical trouble. I do have a 2 gig machine with pentium 4 and geforce4 ti4600. I probably don't have to say this but the graphics were awesome. Everything from the water and lava to the storms and tornados. Awesome. As mentioned by another reviewer, there are quite a few gadgets which I hardly ever used. I did go out of my way to try them all once anyway. Overall a very fun and visually pleasing game. One of the top action games of the year. Highly recommended.

Summary: Laff ur...off?
Review: I am in agreement with some of the other reviewers. This was well worth the $$ but I finished it in one Sunday because I just didn't feel like going anywhere. So..It was a bit short. It incorporated the skill points well so you can do things much faster like search and use gadgets. I also agree that the tricycle and mimes mission had me laffing pretty hard. Some of the humor from the first NOLF is missing here also. Well...I went and made my own laffs. I went into ghost mode and didn't kill a single person. I shocked em, took they're weapons and waited until they woke up and hid just so I could shock em again. The charge option for your utility gun makes em do funny stuff too. Buy it, laff and enjoy.
