It's also nowhere near the level of id's Quake III beauty. Remember, we've seen Return to Castle Wolfenstein running and have seen how far the stakes have been raised. In comparison, NOLF looks old. And it is a shame because some of the ideas are really good. Struggle through the dull opening levels and you move to Germany, where the action is faintly reminiscent of Counter-Strike. Further on, the action gets a lot more varied, but why struggle for a day just to reach something worthy of your attention?
In its favour, it's a long game to play through, although you will probably feel a bit jaded before the finale. However, the notion that you can play the game as a shooter or a thinker is so far off the mark it's laughable. Sneaking around is next to impossible -after about 30 seconds on each level I was spotted and the game reverted to move and shoot, move and shoot.
To finish on a bright note, the array of weapons is excellent, and some of the gadgets you've got access to add another slight dimension to the linearity. Overall, though, I can't recommend it as a worthy buy with Gunman Chronicles on release at the same time.
Her name's Archer. Cate Archer. Or possibly Jane Bond. Anyway, you get the idea. Agent Archer is the feisty, sexy heroine of Fox Interactive's upcoming, first-person '60s-inspired, Bond-style action adventure, No One Lives Forever, and the men in suits are hoping that her name is going to become as familiar as that of a certain gun-toting, pigtailswinging lady frequently glimpsed on boxer shorts.
I hasten to add that my experience of this is derived solely from window shopping. Game companies are tuning into the fact that female cyber-icons mean big business, providing sex-symbols for male gamers and action role-models for girls: even as I write, my boyfriend a fellow game addict slavers over my shoulder, "will she have big tits like Lara?
This is serious stuff. And, yes. I'm quite sure she will. Your goal, as per usual, is to uncover a sinister, world-threatening conspiracy and in true Bond tradition you get your manicured hands on the latest weapons more than 30 will feature in the game , and typically daft experimental gadgets, including a Robotic Poodle, exploding lipstick and lethal acid perfume. You also get the chance to ride motorbikes and snowmobiles and visit exotic locations such as Morocco, the Caribbean and a secret Russian space-station.
All up it features 15 single-player missions and ten multiplayer levels, including Deathmatch and an innovative Co-operative Assault. Fox searched the world for a suitable subject with attitude and stunning looks on which to model Agent Archer.
After interviewing hundreds of delectable beauties tough job, eh? Completely the reverse of Lara Croft, who started life as a pixelated character and has since been personified by a gaggle of wannabe starlets. Developer, Monolith, also points out that, unlike Lara.
Cate wasn't bom with a silver spoon in her mouth. Delivered screaming into the world after a 20 hour labour, her mother died shortly after giving birth and Cate fell into a life of crime before turning full circle and working for the good guys again.
Its LithTech engine looks and plays like a dream, and we reckon it's about time it was behind a huge hit. Watch this space. Ported over from the PC, No One Lives Forever is one of those games that leaves you feeling like it could have been much better than it ended up being. I know the PC version received some strong accolades so either the gaming mentality has changed over the last couple of years or this game has lost something in the translation.
It is not that I found this game particularly bad; it just felt too routine for my tastes. Fans of FPS will be turned off by the linear and scripted nature of gameplay. In an attempt to break things up a bit, they threw in minor espionage bits that were decent but not involved enough to cover up the monotony of the rest of the game. On a more positive note, the game was set in the 60's and they did a great job of creating the whole 60's vibe.
Think Austin Powers the videogame, without all the 'shagging'? Sadly, the graphics looked like a last generation PSX game, not a second or third generation PS2 game. Car models were blocky and the people in the cut scenes where downright frightening looking. In the end, you'll find a game that offers up some entertainment but not enough to warrant a purchase. Fortunately, qualities such as art direction, level design and perverse satire, which made NOLF so unique on the PC, survive the PS2 conversion unscathed.
The game takes place during a lighthearted Cold War-era in the s. You play as Cate Archer, an agent in the British secret service who must foil the insidious organization H. All this humor works well in NOLFs multifaceted mission objectives. Without a way to save or load during the action, especially on stealth missions where one false move triggers an alarm, the game becomes a tiresome exercise in trial-and-error.
