Trivia
This is the first time that the likeness of the actor playing James Bond, in this case Pierce Brosnan, is used for a James Bond game. The voice, however, is provided by Maxwell Caulfield. See more »Goofs
(CONSOLE VERSION) In the cut-scene at the beginning of the "Phoenix Fire" level, Bond picks up a Wolfram P2K pistol from the helipad. When he enters the elevator it is still a P2K, but when the gameplay starts, he has a different gun. See more »Quotes
Zoe Nightshade: [Bond gets out his Aston Martin V12 Vanquish] Was this car here the whole night?Bond: Perhaps. But, it looks like you needed the rest.
Zoe Nightshade: But, I don't recall getting much rest at all, James.

These games are getting better and better each time. "Agent Under Fire" surprised me with how good a James Bond game can be without being based on any movie. "Nightfire" furthers that appreciation. When based on a movie, a game can include too much of something, and not enough of something else. This creates many possibilities for plot holes. There are also a lot of restrictions when having to follow an existing piece of work. Case in point, every Bond game before "Agent Under Fire". And now the games are becoming independent from the film franchise, and it couldn't be better.
I was excited when I read on the back of the box that Pierce Brosnan was starring as James Bond, but then disappointed to see that they had his look but not his voice. It took some getting used to.
There are only twelve levels in this game, just like "Agent Under Fire", but some of them can feel quite long and challenging.
This is also, as they say, the most complete Bond experience ever. They treat it as a Bond movie. It starts off with the traditional gun barrel moment, with an opening scene/level. And the interesting thing about this game is that if you don't have a saved game, then you play the first level before you ever get to the main screen. There's even a short music video after the first level. It's not as long or as extravagant as in the movies, but it's still effort.
A lot of work was definitely put into this game. I'm excited for all future James Bond games specifically because "Nightfire" proved that the games can be nothing short of outstanding. I hope they keep up the good work.
9/10
