Editorial Review:
The latest installment in the James Bond series, 007: NightFire is a worthy sequel to 2001's outstanding Agent Under Fire. The game retains the overall look of its predecessor--including some familiar recurring characters and gadgets--but is designed to feel more like an actual Bond movie than a video game. After the familiar gun-barrel opening shot, you're introduced to the game via a precredits action sequence through the streets of Paris that leads into an original theme song with corresponding surreal imagery.
The pacing of the game is natural, with each objective leading smoothly to the next. You even get to holster your PPK, don a tuxedo, and infiltrate a cocktail party at your adversary's mansion, making small talk with his henchmen, flirting with female party guests, and eavesdropping on secret conversations. Of course, within minutes you'll be shooting your way out of the place to make a daring escape in true 007 fashion, complete with Bond's trademark one-liners. The story line combines espionage, action, and innuendo in just the right proportions to evoke a real Bond-movie atmosphere.
The game's overall playability is improved by some nice attention to detail, not the least of which is the addition of smarter and less predictable villains (they can hear you coming, they communicate with each other, and they're better at finding cover and sneaking up behind you). You also have more tactical options (there are many ways to reach each objective, so the game is highly replayable) as well as a better arsenal of gadgets and weapons. And best of all, the multiplayer mode incorporates classic characters from many Bond movies. More than any other 007 game to date, NightFire was designed with the die-hard Bond fan clearly in mind. --Maile Bohlmann
Pros: - Well-developed story line
- Authentic Bond-movie atmosphere
- Great graphics, sound, and music
- Smart, crafty villains
- Wide range of controller settings
Cons: - Precredits action sequence is far too easy
- They still don't have Bond's voice quite right (Maxwell Caulfield?!)
- Fans of nonstop action might not appreciate the extended cutscenes
Note: This review refers to the PlayStation2 version of this game.
007: Nightfire challenges you to reach new heights and depths as the world-renowned superspy!

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Very Bad Game
This game is extremely bad. The graphics are bad and after you beat it once you don't want to ever beat it again. You are in 2nd person shooter which is bad and your enemys dissapear after they die which is unrealistic. The multiplayer is the only thing that saved this game from getting a 1 star. Even then the multiplayer mode is mediocre. Borrow this from a friend. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY
Rating: - 5 years later and I still play it the best bond game from EA
After this game EA simply could not live up to the Bond title following Everything or Nothing, Goldeneye RA(worst bond game ever), and then the mediocre From Russia With Love. This is my favorite post-GoldenEye Bond game. Thankfully EA will not be developing more Bond games in the near future or if there will be any Bond games in the near future. At the time I remember saying the graphics can't get any better than this, 5 years later the graphics are still stunning(yes its outdated but still enjoyable). ... Read More
Rating: - Great Fun!!
This is probably the best Bond FPS since Goldeneye, but it has one flaw, Pierce Brosnan doesn't talk for himself and the actor sounds nothing like Pierce! That's not a big deal when you read it, but it is kind of weird to hear a voice that sounds more like Sean Connery coming out of Pierce's mouth. The action and story, however, are really exciting and fun to play. It's not only FPS, but you are also driving levels as well. My favorite part is that you actually get to drive in a submarine car like what was ... Read More
Rating:  - Not to bad.......
I just bought this game the other day(i know its really outdated)
and it wasnt to bad, but when a couple days later i happen to pick up Halo 2,Bond seemed really weird........Well anyways i think this is an ok shooter,but if you want a great one for your xbox library try out Halo, or Halo 2.
Rating:  - Aging but still very solid.
Nightfire was released in 2002 and still 4 years later it stands strong. It is not as good a game as Everything or Nothing but from a first person shooter's stand point the game is very solid. The vehicle levels are very good as well. Your V12 Vanquish and other vehicles like snowmobiles will provide for some of the best chases ever in a Bond game. The game is a bit too short overall but is catchy enough for the Bond name. The story is interesting and the multiplayer is pretty fun. I can say with a clear consciense ... Read More
