It’s just a shame that so much of the game is based within such incredibly predictable levels. The actual combat sections could be quite fierce and the fact that you could roll out Bond’s gadgets, like a laser-cutter watch and a tranquiliser pen, made it feel pretty cool at points. It isn't in the PC version.įunctionally though, it was OK. The supposedly epic plot was really quite lame, the villains transparent, the multiplayer lacklustre and the voiceovers poor. It was clearly and cleverly influenced by the grossly superior No One Lives Forever spy games, but it lacked the charm and wit and instead felt like a shallow imitation of a real 007 experience – which it was. Surely, if the developers have added that kind of feature then you’ll be able to do all sorts of James Bond type stuff!Īs it turned out, Nightfire turned out to be a fairly run of the mill shooter. It was a simple lapse of taste on my part, that lead to me over imagining the depth of the game. Yes, that’s all it took and, no, you can’t make me feel any more ashamed about it than I already am. More specifically, the ability to use those x-ray specs to take a peek at ladies’ underwear. I have something embarrassing to admit about this game, namely that I decided to buy it based on just one single feature, which I’d read about in a PC Gamer article – the ability to don x-ray specs. Technically, the title of this game is James Bond 007: Nightfire, but I really don’t want to have more than one colon in the title than I have to.Īnyway.
