Rating: Summary: Smashing Baby! Review: James Bond meets Austin Powers meets the Avengers. Travel back to the swinging sixties. Enter this colorful world of evil villians, super spies, cool gadgets, and groovy fashions. You play the sexy, swinging, sophisticated Cate Archer. She's a highly trained spy working for the secret British firm UNITY. Being the only woman in the spy agency she is only given routine assiments, untill the other spies start getting killed one at a time. Now Cate gets what she wants, to be given a chance to prove herself as a real spy. Move through the 15 missions with 60 levels, by shooting, sneaking, spying, and always being highly fashionable. Use a variety of guns and gadgets to battle colorful charicters. Great story line with twists that varies based on your decisions. Graphics and movements are clean and smooth, and fully adjustable for computers not as fast. Wonderful first person action intermixed with movies. If you like cloak and dagger you will love this.

Rating: Summary: Simply Awesome Review: This remains my favorite game ever, even if other games had better graphics even when it came out.
Not only do you play an interesting character and you have a great story, the enemy aren't complete idiots. Best of all, the game makes you laugh. I can't count the times, I stopped to listen to a side conversation and was laughing to hard to avoid getting shot.
Valve updated the graphics for Half-Life; I wish Sierra would do the same for No One Lives Forever.
Rating: Summary: Awesome! Review: I decided to buy this game after hearing some good reviews for it, and seeing as how I could get it for 15 bucks as a game of the year edition. I played this game nonstop for about 5 days till I finally beat it. This game would only have been a 3 - 4 without its humor though... humor, not a challenge for killing the oafs of HARM makes this game great. Thats not to say that using a silenced parabellum and sneaking into an area giving large unsuspecting quantities of HARM agents head shots isnt a blast. I believe that this game wouldnt be near as fun if you just played it like Quake or Doom, getting your baddest weapon out and mowing down hoards of them. I think that my goals of maybe getting detected once made the game much more enjoyable.Buy this game while it lasts, the Game of the Year Edition truly is worth it, the extra level was a blast and among the most humorous of levels.
Rating: Summary: it's not bad ...... but is it worth your time? Review: its not bad for [$$], but its not the best game ever made by far. First person shooters are basically all similar in feel. You point and click and shoot the enemy that jumps in front of you. Or you can stand back and snipe the unsuspecting target from 100 meters away. Nowadays, virtually every fps has a machine gun, and sniper gun, and despite the packaging the core gameplay remains similar. WHat makes the great fps is the "angle" Where is it based? Whats the storyline? Does it actually make my heart pump, or makes me curious enough to finish the level? I'm not saying NOLF is a bad game. It is very fun, and i like the doses of humor sprinkled throghout. But because it really lacks a distinctive angle, NOLF is not a "great" fps. IMHO, some great fps games I've come across or played were System Shock 2 (for its eeary atmosphere and chilling exctiment), Alien v Predator (good graphics for its time and scary as [heck]), and the Rainbow Six series (because of their realism) I'm also playing NOLF 2, and its a definite improvement over its predecessor. Before declaring this as the best action game of 2000, or ever (as some would argue), please try out the other fps games I put down here. You will definitely notice the difference.
