Good Game

Well me, having the usual teenager boy love of violence, felt excited when I got this game for my birthday. When I got this, I was amazed at how it has improved since GoldenEye, (I never played any of the in between GoldenEye and Nightfire games, just those two), from the AI (though they're still brick stupid) to the animation and sound. The exotic levels were also astonishing. There were also some harder AI, as in the red Yakuzas, the red Castle Guards and the Phoenix Commandos, among others. It also has good bosses ( Drake, Rook and three Yakuza assassins. It is overall a good game for those who like shooting, driving and occasional stealth.
