Summary: No One Lives Forever
Review: Great game! Lots of plot and character personality. Gameplay is smooth and fun. Open ended enough to get lost but not forever. It's Deus Ex with estrogen.

Summary: Very very very entertaining
Review: This FPS is not a regular FPS. Well it has a nice story. You are a woman agent named Miss Archer and playing a game as a woman is pretty interesting. You see how cocky can we guys get when we see a pretty lady. The story is so much fun. The gameplay is so nice and the weapons, musics and the atmosphere is like in 60s 70s. We can say that this game is Austin Power's female version. BUy this game for sure. You will have a lot of fun. The only bad thing about the game is that the multiplayer is average. Its not bad but not very good also. First of all there are few people in the servers. Still buy this game you wont regret it. It is just for its price :)

Summary: A real thinking shooter!
Review: No One Lives Forever isn't just a test of your hand-eye coordination. Even if you're a hot-shot at Quake or Unreal, this game won't be a walk in the park. At times, you'll have to be stealthy or work your way through puzzles, a la Dark Forces or Marathon. The difference between this game and, say, Jedi Knight is that it's not at all serious- and that's a good thing!

The tools of the operative's trade include some of the wackiest gizmos ever to grace a first person game. It brings back reminiscences of James Bond, except the setting is more like Austin Powers. The weapons, however, are very realistically modeled and an absolute pleasure to fire.

Many times, you'll find yourself sitting quietly behind your enemies just to hear what they're chatting about before you wax them- that's how funny it is! They also make great noises when you shoot them, and it's even dynamic depending on where you hit them. The voice acting in general is top-notch, and the story is immersing. You won't have any problems taking on the role of Agent Archer.

The technical aspect of the game is superb. The LithTech engine is pushed to the limit with the highly detailed landscapes. My personal favorite was an indoor aquarium with 3-d fish swimming around in it. Some of the buildings you'll explore are absolutely eye-popping, and detailed to a fault. You'll get to explore a wide-range of world spanning locales, which is half the fun of the missions.

As for stability, there are some issues. I had some strange problems with the game destabilizing my system, but only a few times. The gameplay overall was usually quite reliable. Load times for the bigger levels were sometimes quite long, but after a while you won't notice. The game is just too much fun for such a trifle to be annoying. Don't be fooled by the number of missions, because each one has several parts to it. The game is actually quite long- about the same length as Unreal, though with less continuous carnage. Don't fret about that, though- there's plenty to be had when you want it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Very Solid & Enjoyable FPS
Review: I'd purchased this game several months ago and it only saw about 20 minutes of playing time. I've been burned out on just about all games for quite a while now. I decided to give NLF another chance and I'm glad I did. This is the first game I've finished in about two years. None of the others recently have been able to hold my attention. NLF did in spades.

The levels are desinged very well and none of them too complicated or too large. It's nice to be able to play for only 30-45 minutes and still make some head way. Granted if you have the time to do marathon sessions, NLF can definately keep you occupied. You don't have to lose contact with all your friends and family while you try to finish it though ( unless of course you want to ).

The graphics are very good and I've played on a few different systems. Granted a Celeron 400 w/ a TNT can't swing 1280 x 1024 and won't play any game at the resolution at an acceptable rate but even on a 400 640 x 480 and even 800 x 600 were playable. The game looks awesome at the higher resolutions if you have the hardware to run it.

I don't often comment on music in a game but in this case I will. I'd compare it to SSX for the playstaion 2. Besides sounding very very good, the music is dynamic. When you round a corner and get into a shootout with some gaurds, the music reflects this. The tempo becomes a bit faster and the horns sound more on edge. The music adds a lot to the game.

Over all this is a very good game. I was reminded a lot of half-life. There wasn't anything in the game that was stolen from half-life. I was reminded of half-life due to the very solid game play. I'd call this half-life with more personality and not so hard puzzles. Had this game come out 2 years ago this would be a "break through 5 star you life will never be the same unless you own it game." Considering what's out ther today I'd call it a very solid game that has a lot of character and feels refreshing even though there isn't anything really new. Of all the games out there right now, I can't think of a better game than NLF to spend an evening playing.

Summary: Went from great to... uhh... greater?
Review: NOLF(the orginal game) was great. By now you know why it is so great. so if you don't mind I'll skip that... The GOTY(Game of the year) edition features one new singleplayer level, and several new MP maps. The MP in the original game was good... nothing too special... but its still very fun.

Single Player: 9.5 out of 10. (Graphics are a bit dated but are still great!)

Multi-Player: 8 out of 10. (Nothing special or inovaded, unlike the SP. Still fun to massacre your friends of the net.)

Overall: 9 out of 10. Best game I've ever played! I dont think anything will ever surpass this game in inovation/ creativity.

Oh and one more thing- Whats with the Mature rating? the original box was Teen... I couldn't see any differences...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Most Entertaining Game I Have Played
Review: NO ONE LIVES FOREVER is the most entertaining game I have played. The closest you will likely get to being James Bond.

The size of the game is just astounding. From running through hotels, warehouses, under water, in the snow, even in outer space, the world this creates is just like a Bond film. There are moments where you just want to stop and look around at everything it is so beautifully made.

The game is a first person shooter, but not as overly gory as other games. And, it isn't just about shooting. You have to find files, interact with others. Filled with cut scenes that really makes this like a movie.

The one complaint is two levels are glitchy so that they are impossible to complete (but cheat codes can be found to bypass them).

I finished playing this months ago, played a few games since then, but put them all aside to go back and play this all over again. Even the extremely popular HALF LIFE can not compete for sheer entertainment value.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Addictive as hell!
Review: I've been playing this game for about three weeks now... I'm still having a blast with it.
Sure, I managed to beat it fairly short order, but I was a little obsessed with it! I didn't sleep for three days.

The cut-scenes are awesome, and where-as some of the plot is a little contrived, it is still very cool. Cate Archer is sarcastic as anything and the conversation you pick up from the enemy is so politically correct, it's funny. This game is kind of a cross between Austin Powers and James Bond. Serious, but humorous... bloody but comical. I also like the way the controls are set up and the mouse-aiming is very well designed (especially with sniper-rifles and other scoped weapons).

The weapons were what make this game the most fun. Sure, you can grab a ton of gear in games like "Unreal" and have fun blowing everyone to shreds... but this game has several types of bullets, silencers, scopes, explosives, and little tools that rival "Q-branch" from the 007 series. Sneaking around with a silenced pistol and offing unsuspecting bad guys is kind of fun too!

An awesome game, I haven't had this much fun in awhile!
