Operation: Nightfire has begun....
James Bond 007: Nightfire delivers a thrilling and action-packed experience with a challenging Single Player Story.
The gameplay in Nightfire is varied but sticks to its first person shooter style. In some missions it offers a mix of gunplay, stealth, and vehicle based missions. There is about 12 missions in total which on the surface doesn't seem like a lot but there are parts within the levels which creates longevity in the game. As James Bond you are infiltrating enemy strongholds or engaging in high-speed car chases, there's never seems to be a dull moment and certainly doesn't pause at all. It's all action packed from start to finish.
Having to control Bond I feel like the PS2 controls are quite dated compared to the modern FPS controls we have and takes some getting used to but they are responsive. You may need to find a scheme that works for you if you want to have a enjoyable experience. As far as I could navigate the menus there seems to be no way to adjust analog stick sensitivity so be aware when coming to play this game.
As always it wouldn't be a EA James Bond game if it didn't have Multiplayer. I didn't go to much in depth with it as I mostly was playing Single Player. From what I saw it has a lot of variety in its maps and lots of game modes to choose from, including classic modes like Deathmatch and Capture the Flag.
Overall, Nightfire may show its age graphically but the overall presentation is still impressive. They tried to make it a really authentic James bond which then pays off in future installments (Everything or Nothing, From Russian with Love) The story is engaging, the voice acting is passable considering none of the original cast is here but it doesn't take you out of the experience, and there is a really fun challenge to be had. It got challenging for me about halfway through the story. I would say this is a must-play for fans of James Bond. You will have a enjoyable time!
