Rating: Summary: An excellent game all-around Review: I can't understand some of these 2 and 3 star reviews people are giving this game. It truly is one of the best, if not the best, FPS games available. It's a shame that it never really caught on, meaning there probably wont be a sequel. This game combines the elements of Half-Life, Thief, James Bond, and Austin Powers into a hilarious, intense, and satisfying FPS. There are TONS of different areas to work your way through and every single one of them is followed by hilarious cut-scenes which weave a very interesting story. Many times you'll creep up to a room with 2 guards in it and they will be having a very funny conversation, some are so funny that you will wait until they are finished before storming the room and blowing their skullcaps off. And the voice acting throughout the game is top-notch, along with the music. There are so many different scenarios in so many different atmospheres that you will never grow tired of the same old tilesets and surroundings. Areas include the Alps, sunken submarines, spacestations, jungles, fortresses, Morocco, and MANY MANY more. And the AI is superb...you'll never see a guy running around in a circle or into a closed door (like Deus Ex). And like real life they can be fooled as well...need to sneak past that guard? Throw a coin behind him and while hes distracted slip past him or just send a silenced slug into the back of his head. I could go on and on about this game but you just have to try it for yourself. Trust me, this is one of the best games available to date, don't miss it!
Rating: Summary: Best Action Game I've ever played Review: No One Lives Forever is the best action game I've ever played. With excellent graphics, brilliant AI, fantastic soundtrack, hillarious story and a wonderful design, NOLF is one of the games that you just can't stop playing. Everything in the game, from the weapons & gadgets to the level designs, is inspired by the 60s and by the famous super-spy movies and TV shows. The game succeeds in getting the player right into the "Austin Powers"-style story and characters. As an action games reviewer, I can say that NOLF is the best action game I've played in the last two years, and is my favorite game ever. I wish I could explain why it is so good, but I guess you'll have to see it for yourself: Every mission is different than the others, and the game combines non-stop action with some elements of 'thinker shooters' - makes you think before you shoot. A must-have for all gamers!!
Rating: Summary: better even than the sequel Review: This game is one of the best PC games ever. The graphics are OK but the gameplay is out of this world !
Rating: Summary: Finally something BETTER than HALF-LIFE Review: Anyone who played Half-Life knew why it was awesome. A company was finally able to put the needed attention into a first person epic since the original System Shock. Deus-Ex came quite close, but suffered from bad voice acting and average graphics, but still had a great story and gameplay despite the quirky AI. The AI in No One Lives Forever is frighteningly real. Enemies throw furniture in front of them and dodge fire simillar to what the Half-Life AI was able to accomplish. The Engine does lack some of the nice curves and touches of an engine like Quake 3, but this doesn't hurt the game one bit. The characters are excellently rendered, and the levels are quite orininal and very colorful. It's set in the 60s, so there are psychadelic overtones towards almost every aspect of the game. And it even has some deathmatch maps and capture the flag maps. And there's plenty of missions. 60 levels in 15 locations. This game is money well spent. Finally.
Rating: Summary: Frankly Astonishing.... Review: This is a great game. Funny, engrossing, challenging. And the details can blow you away... For example, when was the last time you played a first person shooter where you shoot a guy at the top of some steps and he rolls down the steps seamlessly, just like in the movies. I suggest never. Or, if you shoot a guy on a balcony, he falls over the railing just like the movies. There are no games in the market that have this sort of extra character animation. Or background music which seamlessly blends in with the action? The music can have a sort of quiet sound, but when you spot a sniper and pick him off with a rifle, the music kicks in with a single beat, like a drum shot, just like the movies. When people suddenly discover you, the music changes intensity smoothly, like the movies. Believe me, you haven't heard music transitions handled this well since the LucasArts Jedi Knight PC games. These are only examples of what can happen during the shooting action in the game. The music, storyline, cutscenes, voice acting, missions, etc. are all just wonderful, and the main character has to be one of the most attractive woman in PC gaming history. If you play a lot of PC games, this is the sort of game which can take your breath away and make you say "Wow..." in how the game just does things better than so many of the other games out there. The graphics engine is a bit weak, but perfectly adequate, and very satisfying when you consider games like Rune which are stunningly gorgeous but become incredibly boring after the redundant gameplay drives you to tears... NOLF simply rocks. A must buy.
Rating: Summary: A proud successor to Half-Life Review: I'm not usually a fan of FPS games. I thoroughly enjoyed this game. Take the best elements of Thief, Half-Life, and old James Bond movies, mix them together, and you've got this game. Whoever designed the levels and missions for this game deserves very high praise. The story is also very engaging, with a tongue in cheek variety of humor that's not as over the top as Austin Powers. This game is primarily a sneaker. While you're not completely incompetent in a straight-up fight, you'll do best to get through the missions using stealth. The voice acting throughout the game is excellent. Guards carry on conversations about the nature of evil, job security for being the henchman of a criminal mastermind, etc. All of these are delivered very well and are quite funny. I'd often go back after completing a mission just so I could hear things that I missed the first time around. The AI in the game is superb. The bad guys rarely rush at you head-on, like a last-ditch bonzai charge. Frequently they'll flip over furniture to use for cover, and will even use suppressive fire. I can't say enough how much I loved the gunfights in this game. I liked them better than Half-Life's, and that's saying a lot. While the engine that runs the game doesn't have as much eye candy as Unreal Tournament or Quake 3, it's definitely passable. Beyond that, though, the animations are perfect. If you shoot somebody while they're going down the stairs, they'll stumble for a while before tumbling down, rather than just gliding down like in most shooters. If you're at all a fan of first person shooters, and particularly if you enjoyed Half-Life, you owe it to yourself to pick this game up. I wouldn't hesitate to call it one of the best games of the year.
Rating: Summary: Don't let the box fool you! Review: Judging by the box design, I thought this would be a crappy shooter game for kids. I Was DEAD wrong. THIS GAME ROCKS! Its a hillarious spy game with half-life like game play, controls and graphics. This game is highly addictive the story line is really good and the gadgets are pretty cool too. The characters in the game are not dumb, they have highly intellectual conversations (when your listening around the corner) It almost makes me feel bad when I shoot them. The AI is pretty good. The enemy soldures don't just stand and let themselves get killed; They duck behind objects and run for help. This game is one of the best new games out here! for any bond fans (for the n64) or half-life fans: this game makes a great sequal. What an awsome game.
Rating: Summary: One of the best games of the era Review: One of the most outstanding games of the era. This games basically reminds me of Austin Powers and James Bond combined. The games is also like playing a movie they are a lot of cut scenes in the game. In this game you play a British Spy named Cate Archer. You basically must save the world from the Notorius Mad Man named Dimitri Volkov who has killed half of your agents. (That's how the story starts) What is good about this game is that you just cannot go around like Rambo killing people. You will have to sometimes sneek around and collect intelligents. Or sneek your way out without tripping any alarms. Aside from fire power you also have alot of cool gadgets in the game I Highly recommend this game to anyone. (P.S. The charactor Bruno Lawree (Cate Archer's Mentor) you will see in the beginning of the game eerily reminds me of actor Sean Connery He even sounds like him too.
Rating: Summary: Best game Review: This is quite simply the best game I've ever played. I loved every minute of it, and I'm someone who can get bored easily with games. It's a great first-person shooter, but at the same time it doesn't get repetitive like some shooters can be. I highly recommend it.
