James Bond 007: NightFire

"Amazing game, amazing review!"

Introduction/Story:
For many years now James Bond has been on people's televisions and even video game systems. The series is very well done and so are the many games that are out. Nightfire is one of the newest installments that comes after the famous Agent Under Fire. It isn't based on any original ideas, but is very well thought out and created. This review will explain everything in the game CLEARLY I hope.

007 has always been one of the things that captivated my mind the most. I mean, who could not love a British spy agent who kills lots of people and does daring moves? Unlike any other series out there, Bond has been one that always contained the good ideas and development. Nightfire is one of those games that follows a fantastic series alone and accomplishes everything there is to be done to make a successful franchise.

The story goes as followed: James Bond (Agent 007) is on a quest to try and eliminate a madman named Raphael Drake who is planning to take control of the planet. Embarking on dangerous missions, Bond will have to discover everything there is to know about Drake.

Graphics:
Nightfire is a game that has and needs much detail to pull it off and reach the stores. The development team went into the work of doing this well. For the most part, guns, gadgets, characters, environments, and even vehicles look perfect. I think that this Bond game did well in graphics as far as the most basic details go.

To start off with, the environment has to be the first step into graphical abilities. Nightfire has very good details that stick out in the environments just like anything else does. Most of the time you will get yourself killed because you were to busy looking at the mountains and gazing up at the sky or even looking at the enemy in front of you. Hopefully you will mainly focus on your objectives instead of the buildings, etc. But frankly, I wouldn't blame you if you caught yourself doing this. It's that good.

As for the weapons I say that Nightfire didn't fail at all. Every gun looks detailed and finished compared to some of the other FPS out there. Nothing is blocky or out of place. Everything looks good.

Game Play:
One of Nightfire's strongest points is the multiplayer. I love it! In fact, it is so fun that you don't even need two players to do it. All you need to do is pick a game (like capture the flag, etc.) your character, the guns you are going to use, and the A.I. Bots, and also some preferences that you might want to change. It's very enjoyable.

Every Nightfire mission is different. Some will have you in a Helicopter, some will have you on a snowmobile, some will have you running around gunning people, some will have you driving cars, etc. Everything is new and enjoyable to play.

There happens to be a lot of weapons and gadgets in this game. The watch laser, stunner, micro-camera, and everything else are still here from the original Bond games and movies.

Sound/Music:
Nothing could be any better here. All of the guns are right on key. The voice acting is so-so, and the music is very good. Not much to say, just that this game is music to everybody's ears.

Replay Ability:
Are you kidding me? You must be right? How can I explain the huge replay ability for this game? HUH? You will most likely be hooked on Nightfire for a very long time. I have been playing it for about a year now, and I ain't given up on it. The multiplayer is super, the graphics are tight, the sound system is bopping, and the people are still playing it! So do me a favor, and go this game before you wear you eyes out reading this! It's really that good.
