Summary: Nightfire review
Review: As soon as I downloaded the game, the introduction began which was well done. However, after I started to play the game, the screen started to flash so much that I could not see what was going on. Unfortunately, this did not resolve. I would not recommend this game until the bugs are resolved.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Avoid...
Review: Better be careful if you decide to buy this game. Buggy beyond belief, it will not run at all on an 2200+ Athlon system with 512 megs of RAM and a 64 mb video card. ZERO tech support. And if does not run, you take the risk of not being able to return it as I found out--I was told copyright issues preclude its return. A bad, bad mess.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: PC Version a good game but not great
Review: Despite the horrible reviews given by most magazines I really enjoyed the game on the PC. I don't have an x-box so the fact that the driving is missing didn't affect me at all. Overall the game is a lot of fun, with cool environments, sexy women and very Bond-ish plot. There were some complaints about the lack of weapon variety but in reality you find whatever is the newest biggest baddest weapon the enemies are using (so you can take their ammo) and use it so variety is no big deal.

The goods: Level design - the sets felt like a Bond movie with a megalomanic bent on taking over the world after he has built all these secret bases filled with huge areas. I think my favorite was going down the staircase from the 34th floor of the skyscraper not knowing who is behind the door to each floor or waiting on the stairs.

Babes - About time some good-looking women were shown with a little sexyness, use the glasses on them in x-ray mode to see a little cheescake.

Gadgets - this is what set the Bond game apart, I started it as a straight shooter, but using the glasses is a major upgrade to play. Using the x-ray to see through the door and know where to aim before opening it, use the infrared to spot hidden enemies a long way away.

The bads - aiming...the weapons are amazingly bad shots or perhaps its the amount of damage the enemies can take. I can put 50 bullets into a guy from far away and he is still plugging me. You basically have to get close to get them efficiently.

Enemy AI - which brings up the one really bad part of it, the enemies are pretty sad. They can spot you instantly if you get within a certain trigger range, no matter what you do. They seem to be much better shots with their weapons than you are (allthough that may just be me). They tend to act a little goofy, jumping back and forth and yelling things that don't make sense.

But overall I really recommend this game. Its so much more fun and a totally different feel than some hyper-realistic terror game like splinter cell or ghost recon or some of those. Just a lot of fun for when you want to feel like Bond.

Summary: Nightfire PC Demo: Review
Review: Despite the review above which states that EA can't make FPS, this new Bond adventure for the PC will possibly be the best Bond game since our beloved "Goldeneye". Remember those days? I do, boy that game was amazing. I've downloaded the PC Demo for Nightfire and I was shocked.

THE PROS:

*Amazing graphics-Gearbox has really gone beyond expectations. The models are perfect, clear, crisp, and just plain sexy. The enviroments are incredible, lighting is perfect, and shades of color are not too bright or too dark.

*Gameplay-so much fun! It's like "Goldeneye" gone insane, if you thought "Goldeneye" was awesome then you'll die (hopefully another day!) when you play this! Gunfights are are so much fun and damage done by enemies is reasonable.

*Weapons-I used a variety of weapons in the demo. Plus I found a secrete one, DESERT EAGLE. They all have secondary fire modes and fire rate is reasonable. All weapon models are perfect and rounded, no sharp edges or bland color.

*Missions-Hard but damn fun! I love that in computer games. It's somewhat hard but the game is so much fun that you just want to keep trying again. You don't end up throwing your PC out the window.

*AI-Enimies are programed to kill, and they will. They don't roll over and play dead so easily so get ready to fight! So much fun!

*Gadgets-Fun to use and can save your life! The dart pen was fun to use!

*Saving-Save anywhere. THANK YOU GOD!!!!!! this is my favorite aspect of the game!

THE CONS:

*Loading times are insane and long. What the hell were they thinking when deciding to put loading times for almost every damn room you enter in the game? That really made me mad.

*If you carry too many weapons you tend to go a lot slower. You have to drop some weapons to go fatser. I guess this is good if you like realism, but this is Bond damn it not "Ghost Recon".

*Mouse sensitivity-You can adjust it to go a lot smoother but you tend to make the game more glitchy that way. I used an "Alienware Area51 PC" with the new "Geforce-4 titanium graphics card" and the game still got a little glitchy.

*No blood. Hey "Goldeneye" had blood but what's up with this? Would have made the game a lot more real. Plugging a guy in the head and not seeing a spray of scarlet is lame.

FINAL VERDICT:

Nightfire recieves a (4.5/5)

Despite the Cons (Which are really small in the game) this game is a lot more fun and better looking than the outdated "Goldeneye" It's time to move on people, Bond is back and better than ever! Buy this game when it comes out for PC! (the only way to enjoy a game is using a PC)

NOTE: I played the DEMO version of Nightfire for the PC so it may be a lot different and some of the glitches may have been changed when the game is released.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: EA games ...
Review: EA games cant make a FPS. Rare was the best, and the only competitor is Bungie. Goldeneye will always be the best FPS out there. EA games could only make their's worse. don't buy this. if you want a good stealth game, buy Morrowind, if you want a FPS, buy UT2003. don't waste your time with a special ed. version of goldeneye. goldeneye was good because it was original, not loaded with hi-tech ... and impossible guns.

Summary: Too Many bugs playing the demo
Review: First of all I've only played the demo and when I did there were so many bugs my computer froze to a point where it ruined the master boot record on my computer. Luckily I had XP to fix the problem. I don't know if the bugs have been fixed on the full version so I'm just cautioning everyone about the problem. Thanks for your time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than Goldeneye!
Review: First off there are no glitches to this game. If you have a problem it is your computer not the game! I have had none of the problems some of the few people have stated. The Multiplayer is fun and the game is fun. I can't understand why someone would hate this game. I found it more fun than the old Nintendo Goldeneye game. Sure it is not Alien vs. Predator 2 but it is still a great game. Better than Max Payne also. Buy it because it is an entertaining game.REVIEW UPDATE 12,30,02
Once again I state that none of the problems that have been posted by any of the other reviewers have happened on my computer. Their problems are the result of an outdated computer. You need a top of the line model.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: EXCELLENT GAME - GREAT BUY FOR THE MONEY!
Review: Gaming is such a fummy hobby! Inexpensive games like this one prove to be a challenging and extremely entertaining while crap like Hitman and Gangland rip the public off with poor quality nonsense. Do yourself a favor and spend ten bucks for a great game!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hmmmm,
Review: Great Game. The 3D graphics are great. I would not recomend this game unless you have at least 512 MB of RAM. 256 is the minimum required. If you like 1st person shooters, buy this game.(...)

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: No Vehical Level
Review: I buy Bond Video games espacially for the car levels. Nightfire had none for the PC version, This ruined the fun for me.
