Summary: Poor follow up to the NOLF series
Review: Poor storyline with a great gameplay/graphics. Warning: For all NOLF/NOLF2 players. DO NOT BUY if you are looking for similar type play. (If you must buy, get it used!) I beat this game in 5 days (in between living my life). This is $30 that I probably should have spent toward something like Max Payne 2. There is NO reference to Cate Archer except for 2 'wanted' posters in the entire game!! You just go through shooting and shooting (set to hard/impossible for best challenge). No interludes between missions, no detailed information on the characters. Play this game for for the sake of shooting, though a couple of missions closely resemble that of NOLF2 that were enjoyable.
The ending is the worst I have seen. A pure anticlimax. Your only solace is the answer to the the following 2 questions: 1. How did Volkov end up in a wheel chair at the start of NOLF2?
2. How did Volkov survive the fall into the lava in a late mission of NOLF2? Overall: not worth the money.... the game is lucky to get 3 stars on account of the graphics/gameplay.

Summary: Has it's moments, but not really worth it
Review: Rather than come out with a new Kate Archer game, the folks at Fox/Sierra/Monolith pushed out this overly short, ultimately senseless game to capitalize on the No One Lives Forever franchise.
The gameplay itself isn't bad and at times rather fun; I really enjoyed a few of the levels, but ultimately, it all fell rather flat. It lacked the enjoyment, humor and fun factor of the other No One Lives Forever games. It didn't help that the main character was a dud.
If you can get this for free and you have extra time on your hands, it's worth a spin; otherwise avoid it.

Summary: Careful, J.A.C.K. might come after you next.
Review: Relax, guys! This game is 1.)fun 2.) not (entirely) mindless 3.) a good representation of the NOLF universe, if not somewhat of an improvement over the NOLF 2 of last year. Creative idea, bringing the H.A.R.M. guys into the mix in a more complete way. This was SIERRAs' intention all along. Good graphics, fast loadtimes, nice voiceovers and sound-effects. Runs extremely well on a moderate system. Don't expect shakespeare,though. But, it is expected to be cheesy, right? This game is just flat-out fun. It took me about 9 hours to finish this, and i WILL be playing it again. A value for the price!!!!

Summary: Unengaging and pointless
Review: They probably spent more time coming up with the title than they spent coming up with the game.
The excellent engine that drives the No One Lives Forever (NOLF) series is at the core of this dreck, providing a solid framework for the developer to hang garbage on. The retro hip sensibility and sparkling personality of the NOLF series has been safely lobotomized, leaving a drooling shooter prone to alternating fits of repetition and spastic flailing. It's been claimed that the solo game can be easily finished within 4 hours; I'm here to tell you that it's still 240 minutes too long.
The story feels like a scene that was rightfully excised from a much better movie. The characters and settings provide little for the player to cling to. However, a really good shooter can get by without things like plots and hooks. This is not that shooter. You can coast through large chunks of the game just by leaning around a corner and holding down the fire button while you call your relatives or read a book. Your "enemies" will all come frolicking over to be gunned down, and you only need to remember to reload every now and then. I kept thinking it was part of a euthanasia-related sub-plot, but it never came up.
The game rates a bonus star for the fond memories it sparked whenever I thought of its greatly superior antecedents. On that basis I could give it five stars, since I found myself thinking of other games quite often.

Summary: Get it used
Review: This game at full price new is a waste of money. First, there's a real lack of a good plot line to it. It consists mostly of shooting endless streams of enemies with only a meager plot line to each mission.
The graphics are pretty good. The major drawback is that the environment isn't distructable like other FPS games. So you can't shoot crates or other things to discover hidden items. IMO, this is a real drawback. You also can only interact with certain items in the environment that are integral to your mission.
The plot line in the game really doesn't make a whole lot of sense either. You never really know *why* Jack is going after the guy he's after except for money and there's no real good explaination why Jack's client wants the guy found.
I was absolutely shocked when this game ended after around 10 missions. Not only is that way too short, it ends in a particularly unsatisfying abrupt way.
This game did deserve its M rating though, it's perhaps one of the most graphic games I've ever seen in terms of blood as well as some of the language. The dialogue in the game is rather good IMO. Some of it is wry humor that I found amusing, although it really doesn't add anything to the game at all.
As other reviewers have said, this game just has an expansion pack feel to it. There's also a limited amount of environments that the entire game takes place which I think is a drawback. There's even one level where all you do is shoot enemies, you can't move around because there's no place to go in the environment. That reminded me of old arcade games, not modern FPS.
If you like NOLF, you'll probably want to play this game, but don't expect it to be near as good. As for Sierra's contention that it's a "prequel" to NOLF2, prequels usually have some explaination included in them that clears something up in games that have already been released. This game doesn't do that at all.
Overall, I was dissapointed.

Summary: Unworthy Entry
Review: This game completely fails to measure up to the rest of the NOLF series. For one thing, this game is way too linear (even the original Castle Wolfenstein gave players more choice). Throughout every level you are herded in one direction. There is absolutely no possibility of strategically using alternate approaches. For example, you'll be following a hallway filled with barrels and other junk. As soon as you reach a specific point, a certain number of enemies will suddenly rush around the corner knowing exactly where you are, then it is just a matter of engaging in a shoot out.
Like NOLF 2, there is a button for sneaking, but it is absolutely useless. Since baddies know exactly where you are once you reach the magic point in the hallway/street/etc., any attempt at sneaking doesn't matter. Since you can't sneak up on baddies or eavesdrop, there are very few conversations to listen in on (all but one take place over announcement systems). As a result, much of the humour (except for a few in-jokes) which made the previous games so much fun are missing.
The only plusses are that the graphics are stunning and the AI is quite good. But considering how short and repetitious it all is (basically holding down the firing key as you run down halls, shooting at loads of interchangeable badies), I cannot give it a good rating. Those more into shoot-em-up games with no stealth or strategy might enjoy it a bit more, but I doubt very much more.

Summary: Such a shame. It has so much potential.
Review: This game had the potential to be really great. For anyone who enjoyed the NOLF series but got tired of the stealth aspect, this SHOULD have been the game for you. Instead, what you got was a dull, lifeless, repetitive FPS with none of the humor of the rest of the NOLF series. Let's go back to the repetitive aspect of this game. Let's go back to the repetitive aspect of this game. Let's go back to the repetitive aspect of this game. Let's go back to the repetitive aspect of this game. Let's go back to the repetitive aspect of this game. See...that's annoying and dull isn't it? The same thing happens in a game where you know that each time you open a door or round a corner that 8 guys are going to come out, take cover, and shoot at you. The only thing that changes is the scenery (and sometimes not too much). I agree with the other review that said to buy it used. It can still be fun if you want to just run-n-gun, but don't pay full price.

Summary: Haven't seen a prequel this bad since Star Wars Episode One
Review: This game was short. This game had no interesting story, This game was just a shooter. You walk around a corner, you shoot the bad guys. You go across a room you shoot the bad guys, you climb a ladder and you shoot the bad guys...See a pattern. The sad a part is there is not that much variety in what bad guys you can shoot, Ocassionally you had to get stuff and push a button, but mostly you shoot the bad guy. Sure the graphics were spiffy, but gameply bites. The only shining star in this game was some of the dialouge between the bad guys before you show up and.....yes shoot the bad guy.
