Summary: What a piece
Review: The programmers who wrote this game outdid themselves. The is the most frustrating game I have played in years. I have a 2GH box with a Nvidia3 graphics card. This is the only game I own that can lockup Windows XP(SP1) to a point where a reboot is required. The levels can take a minimun of 1 to 2 minutes to load. If you enter a new level and die you get to go back to your last save(the one you purposly took). Most games at worst take you back to the begining of the level. Before these bozos make NOLF3 I sure hope they go play some other PC games and learn how to program games that live up to industry standards.

Summary: Great game that ends too early!
Review: I bought this game on a whim...I used to hate first-person shooters. However, NOLF 2 gives me hope that the FPS is moving a fun, new, and involved direction. NOLF 2 is not your typical shoot everything that moves bloodfest. The spy-spoof premise draws the player in and keeps the gameplay exciting through and through.The graphics are pretty fantastic, sound is great (you can hear the enemies coming from behind you), and controls are easy to use. The ONLY downside to this game is it ends rather suddenly and unsuspectedly. I probably spent around 15 hours to complete the game. However, the fact that this game is so fantastic and the hope of a three-quel totally redeems the ending. Pick this game up! You won't regret it!

Summary: Now that I have it working...it rocks!!!
Review: I wish to retract my earlier review (seen below). I had a lot of trouble getting this to work ( I had to install an older cd rom drive without SecuROM security) but now that it works, it rocks! The online "team" play is a nice improvemet for multiplayer, and Sierra has added new maps and the ever-popular deathmatch from NOLF in their most recent update. This game has more bugs and problems than any piece of software I have ever purchased. Go to the forum at Sierra.com or theglurfactory.com and the technical support posts outnumber the gameplay posts by a 3:1 margin. Sierra released this game before it was ready. Be sure to check you computers components throrughly before you purchase. I would reccomend waiting until Sierra releases a version that works! I played for a while on Wiondows98 and the game was awesome. Multiplayer is far better than in the first game. I upgraded to WinXp and now the game won't even install, so until they figure out all of the tecnhical issues, I give this game 1 star.

Summary: Sequester Sequels?
Review: -
Pros: Improved user interface and streamlined game play. Cons: Poor performance, lacks the goofy charm of the original. Overall: Less experienced gamers may like this, but die-hard NOLF fans may find it a second-rate second helping. Did someone in Marketing direct this project?

Summary: CAUTION!!
Review: If you don't have a PC that is less than 1 year old, read the System Requirements carefully. The video card requirement is what is keeping me from playing this game now. You will need a fairly new graphics card to meet the minimum.

Summary: Great game...though not as good as the first one.
Review: Long story short: Good game. But subpar when compared to its predecessor. I won't go into details, but if you look, you will find reviews on game sites that agree with me. Basically, this game on its own merits is excellent. It has great graphics, great design and style, and a decent story. But it has COMPLETELY LOST THE SAME BRILLIANT ORIGINALITY AND FLAIR AS THE ORIGINAL. The story is almost nonexistent, there is absolutely no character developement, and Cate Archer feels like an almost completely different person than she did in the first game. There's no more long cut scenes that fleshed out the story and made it entertaining. They also cut down on the humor and guard conversations considerably. The level design is [poor] in comparison to NOLF1 and the enemies actually respawn in certain areas after you kill them. To top it off, I completed the game in about two thirds the time it took me to complete the first one. Santa's workshop is gone and so are all those cool guns you got to use in NOLF1 (guns are kept to a bare minimum). The lengthy, character developing cinematics were eliminated... They even eliminated most driving aspects and only included the snowmobile, which you hardly use. So all in all, a great game (even though I bashed it). But do not, under ANY circumstances, expect to find that same brilliant, spontaneous, original and hilarious humor and level design from the first game in No One Lives Forever 2.

Summary: What a great sequel!
Review: NOLF is still in my top 10 list of games to buy.NOLF2 will be in my list as well! I was very suprised at how funny this game is.I love the banana trip.This game has the best graphics i have ever seen in a FPS.I am so glad they brought back the snowmobile .I love that.The writing is hilarious!
There are a few very minor grips.Throw a grenade out of view to distract and you cannot hear the explosion.But big deal right!This game is superb.Kick's Jedi's ... Definately buy it.

Summary: Great Game, even better than the first!...
Review: This game is truly one of the best games of the year next to Jedi Knight. Good characters, excellent AI, and a groovy plot make this a must have for anyone who liked the first or FPS in general.

Summary: Just like a movie sequel, good and bad
Review: This follow on to the original game had some pretty high expectations to fill, and sadly it still left me wanting when it was over. The visuals and game play are a substantial improvement over the original, as now Cate's eyes move and her hair bounces, looking all the more like a real person. In the scenery we see leaves falling from trees and grass blowing in the wind. Explosions and flames look more real, and the textures for the background are stunning. However, part of what made the original game so much fun was it seemed made by people who'd watched plenty of sixties pop culture movies and left references to that time period throughout. While the original game spoofed the spy genre, this one is simply more of Cate Archer. There are some original episodes, (such as fighting a Ninja in a house being blown about by a tornado) but compared to the first game which had you doing everything from hitching a ride to a space station to riding a motorcycle to fighting underwater to conducting an interview, this one is mostly standard first person shooter stuff. (I really got tired of searching through the same desks and cabinets over and over and over....) I didn't like the automated bird guide, and several items were dumbed down or made a little too easy. It seemed much shorter than the first game, and less involving. You don't have to play the first game to "get" this one, although it helps since a couple of characters do return. Also, in the first game the events took place in 1967, yet in this sequel several references place the time as 1966 and the first game taking place in 1965. Confusing? The four years or so people consider the sixties may have been a heady time, but there's no need for a mobius loop. Overall I felt the game technically was a major advance, but the plot and story let me down. If the original was a "10" I'd rate this one about a "7".

Summary: Austin Powers meets James Bond and a super model.
Review: This is a really great game. Excellent graphics and great gameplay. The 3d characters look fantastic as compared to games like Jedi Outcast in which the eyes and mouth of characters didn't look quite right when they were talking. This game has
all the cool gadgets of a James bond movie, and the fun humor of an Austin powers movie, and Cate Archer is easy on the eyes. There are many things in this game I havent't seen in other 3d games. The ability to hide in shadows,
tip over objects or toss coins to distract adversaries, the ability to decide what area you want to improve your skills in first.(searching, gadgets, weapons, sneaking, etc.) Most weapons also accept multiple types of ammo. One of my favorite parts so far was chasing a bad guy on a unicycle while riding on the back of big scottsman who was in pursuit with tricycle and trying to shoot a tommy gun! It's of fun setting up traps too. Like angry kitty, a robotic kitten who lunges at enemies and explodes, or banna peels and bear traps. Almost all missions can be accomplished with either brute force, stealth or a combination of both. If your looking for an entertaining game with great graphics, this it.
