Great Game For A Beginner |
| Denice from California, USA says (10/Aug/2003): |
I have read all the previous reviews and I can agree and disagree with some. First of all, I'm new at this, I just bought a PS 2 (Yeah, I know PS 3 will probably be out next year). However, this is my first shooting game, and I LOVE IT!Those of you who beat the game in one day DO YOU HAVE A JOB? If not, I hope you are teens. Anyway let me give you my pros and cons. Pros: I love the graphics, weapons/gadgets and story line. Cons: It takes too long to load, too many shots to kill somebody, and I get confused switching between gadgets and weapons. Sometimes, I would be looking for the weapon and end up with a gadget. Some levels are two short, while others drag on. (I wish you could save a level, especially a long one when you're almost thorugh it.) The controls are pretty easy to use, unless you stress out like I do; when you're getting shot at, and I guess unless I buy the book I may be stuck on level "12" (where I am now) forever, because I can't figure out how to kill this guy. Anyway, who knows, by next week I will either break down and buy the book, or threaten my son to beat the game for me. All in all, I give the game a "8" taking away from the slow exchange between weapons and gadets. I think this is a good game for beginners, like myself, because there is some difficulty to the game. And, this is good practice for when you move up to the games that require better accuaracy. Those of you who have experienced the "Medal of Honors" type games or are true gamers, probably can't appreciate the simplicity of this game. Anyway, I will look forward to the other Bond games, because I just love a challenge.

This game rocks DUDE!!!!!!!!!! |
| dudeking from elmhurst, New York says (21/Jun/2003): |
This game is the bomb. But why did they only put 12 levels in the whole game. If your good at gun games this game would take about a WEEK. The accuracy sux, but at least it has at least some good guns. The grapix could be better and the storybase should be better, but it's worth your twenty buxs.

Its so great... |
| Paul from Vancuver,canada says (3/Feb/2003): |
Why some people think its a crapy game is beyond me; I really like it and im surprized that you hate it and give it a poor score.The graphics are great and the plot line is pretty good although I didn't like it when I found out a clone died instead of the real ms nightshade. I think the best level is Streets of Buchurest. the only reason i gave it 9 out of 10 is bec it wasnt really much of an ending. How did miss malprave die or is she still alive? As to the people who put 9,8 and 10 for a rating my thanks to you.

HOW CAN THEY MAKE IT SO FANTASTIC |
| A gamer from England (U.K) says (20/Feb/2003): |
I don't understand why people think it is not worth buying and buy something like Nightfire . My favourite bit is the multi-player modes particually Escort, which you get a SSR rifle out and shoot up on the roof . The one reson I did not rate it 10/10 is because of the awful sound.

Great Game! |
| A gamer from OH says (11/Aug/2003): |
O.K. I'll admit that 12 levels is alittle short, and that the guns don't do that much damage, but what do you expect? Absolute perfection? If so, here's what you can do... get off your fat lazy butt, stop complaining about other's games, and make your own!
Anyways I think this game is great. The graphics are excellent, the guns, when they're fired, actually sound like guns, the sound is good (although I'd like to know how to make the enemies stop saying stuff like "You're a dead man, Bond!"), and I like being able to blow up gas stations and other inflammable objects. The story line is good to. In GTA Vice City, the story line is crappy at best. Some guys took Sonny's money and you gotta get it back. "What!? That's it!?" That was my reaction.
All you guys who said it was to easy, you all play to much video games and not enough time hitting the books. Know how I can tell? becos you gramer an speling is atroshus! In short, this exceded my expectations and makes for a good play!

Why I liked this game. |
| A gamer from Lexington,Kentucky says (16/Nov/2002): |
I think that this is a great game for kids that have parents that don't want their kid to be playing a gory and gruesome game. In my opinion, there is no point of those games and you pay like 50 bucks to see blood and kill innocent people. In this game you don't kill innocent people because in one level you can only use a dart gun so that you make sure that you don't kill a single innocent person. The only other people you kill are the ones that are shooting at you which at least isn't killing out of cold blood. This game is awesome. I really enjoyed playing this game because it is fun and you get to use grenade launchers and a sniper gun called the suise4000. In my opinion, the suise4000 is the best gun in the whole game. Just because it is a very powerful gun and you can shoot someone from a long distance away. Also, you don't have to reload it after every single shot. Which, in my opinion, is a really nice. because if you shoot and miss you can shot again instead of them running off because they heard or saw the bullet go right by them. If you are looking for a higher power gun there is always a frinesi12. Which is like a twelve gauge shotgun. My favorite person in the game is the identification guard mainly because he looks really cool and he is a good person in multiplayer. This game is good for another reason because it has really good graphics. Two of my favorite levels are the second level and the third level. I like the second level because there is a person in the car driving it that you had to save in the first level. And you had to shoot at helicopters and and cars that were triing to blow your car up. I like the third level because you are driving a car that has missiles, rockets, q-boost, and q-pulse.

An awsome kick-butt action game! |
| Sean L. from FL. says (21/Jun/2003): |
James Bond Agent under fire was awsome . The graphics blew me away!Whoever rates it badly must be crazy! I hope their will be alot more action packed Bond games in the future! I would suggest this game to anyone. It's definitly at the top of my list for #1 games!

The death of the James Bond series. |
| Alexander Green from USA says (5/Jul/2003): |
THe game starts up with the familiar bond theme and a snazzy intro made from game clips. Obviously meant to lure the player into thinking the game is soo good that it could stand its own as a movie. Yeah Right. First things first, the presentation. The Graphics are fairly accurate, albeit simplistic. Unreal Tournament it is not. The games sound is also fine however the voice acting is dry and Bond does not sound like Bond (nor does R or M for that matter, well maybe M).
The gameplay is ok, but in need of serious tweaking. The sniper controls are unitiutive and the control layouts can not be customized, simply selected from a pre set list. The gun physics are whacked, the weapon accuracy varies from weapon to weapon, but I refuse to believe that Bond is such a lousy shot. And bullets take almost 2 second to fly across a room, and even if it its, you still have to fire like 30 more to actually kill anything. The AI is also unforgivably bad.
And now, the single player Campaign. At only 12 levels I beat it in a day, or rather I would have had the game not bugged out on me every other mission. At one point in mission 6 I believe, I had accomplished a mission objective (enter some secret lab or whatnot) and the game restarted the level on me! And the story is ultimatly ridiculous! Ok, so an evil company (Im assuming they work in Biogenetics) is making clones of world leaders (sound alot like Perfect Dark to me). And these evil clones are involuntarily evil, have unquestionable loyalty to the evil Malprave (generic evil chick) and Blochman (generic Evil righthand man), and are cloned as adults with all the knowladge of there host material, and are cloned with guns and armor (as depicted in level 10, or 9 something like that)? Riiiiight that makes perfect sense. and in the last level you have to rescue the US President the UK Prime Minister among others, however, after rescuing them you leave them standing right next to Armed MIssles! And of course at the end of the game the missles explode as you leap of to safety. Um..what about the world leaders? Yeah, theyre left to die. Hmmm.... good one 007.
And last and probably least, is the multiplayer. Despite a wide range of multi options the drab levels, boring weapons, useless power ups and awkward controls kill any joy it could have had. What a waiste of a good franchise. In its merits, the game is funny to laugh your ass of to (unintentially of course), just so long as you arent paying for it.

This game was great absolutly stunnig |
| tony from USA says (15/Mar/2002): |
I love this game the graphics are outstanding i can't believe it. The multi-player is way better than the last 2 games it kicks. I rate this game an outstanding 10!!
|
Not bad. |
| A gamer from Colorado Springs, CO USA says (20/Mar/2002): |
The graphics and gameplay were pretty decent, but the multiplayer options leave something to be desired. Also the lack of blood takes away from the game. But, what can I expect from a game rated "Teen." Let's just hope Perfect Dark Zero doesn't follow this example. Perfect Dark on N64 was better than this game, but it's worth a rental.

AWESOME!! |
| Dennis from Massachuetts, USA says (24/Mar/2002): |
I'm not really a geeky gamer, but, i just picked it up two days ago, and its AWESOME!!!! First off, the graphics are incredible compared to goldeneye or the world is not enough, The detail is so precise. I love it! Plus the game coming out before the movie, is the best thing they could have done. Now we know whats going to happen before the movie comes out. (sceduled to be released in November 2002) So in conclusion, BUY IT!!!
|
Good graphics, yet the control style and game rewards are no goldeneye |
| BORRIS from Austin TX. us says (25/Mar/2002): |
This game is decent at best, the graphics are excellent but the storyline is weak, the control style is so so and the finishing rewards are nothing like goldeneye, there more like TWINE. There are not enough levels and the all around difficulty is pretty sorry this game was way to easy to beat For Dennis, and any one eles who is not aware, this game IS NOT a preview to the new Bond film due in November, it is the first 007 game not molded after one of the films. Die another day is the title for the upcoming 007 film and is no way related to this game! however this game is fare better than TWINE and tomorrow never dies so I give it a score of 7
|
A very respectable game. |
| A gamer from Ontario Canada says (1/Apr/2002): |
The graphics are guite good in this game, I really love the story line. However it does lack something in multiplayer, I took away apoint for that. But also compared to goldeneye there is no blood. I took a point for that. But the cars in this game make up for a lost point. So I give it a nine. And it has no relation to the new Bond movie "Die Another Day"

very good |
| McKenna from Kearney, Nebraska says (9/Apr/2002): |
I was just getting into the game and it was over. The gameplay was just what I had expected very good. The sound and depth of the virtural world Bond inhabits in this title are stunning. With a quality surround sound system this game is emersive and we all like that! However as I said it was all over too soon! Thank God for the multi-player option. This will keep you laughing and destroying the confidence of you closest friends for hours. The V.I.P area is a really neat twist to the traditional "shoot em'up" areas we are used to in the 007 games. This area allows you to go head to head with a friend and protect the innocent. You are divided by a train track that allows a train to drop off a V.I.P that you are tasked with protecting or assinating. This makes for alot of fun with the sniper rifles. As your opponent lines up for the (v.i.p.) kill you are able to catch him/her off guard and good night Irene!

bond is not bond |
| neogeo from Toronto, Canada says (18/Apr/2002): |
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. This game is beautiful but simple. I am a huge bond game fan, i mean i have all the bond games and from my point of view nothing is better than goldeneye. This is a totally new thing for bond games and bid ups tho the creators for bringing new things to bond but did not really work all that well this time mostly because i think the story is really bad and does not really add up, maybe it's just me. This game is way to short i mean it feels like you started for the middle of the game and you don't know what's going on. Anyway the bottom line is you will finish this game in 10hrs max if you could sit there that long straight and if you are a pro you will finish it in probably 5hrs. So in conclusion this is a perfect game to rent and you will get bored of the multiplayer pretty soon. The only reason you should get this game is if you like to collect Bond games like me. Thank you .

electronic arts in: in over their heads |
| danny irizarry from fort worth TX says (21/Jun/2002): |
there is no doubt that the king of 007 games is golden eye, no matter how many grate games come out starring bond that will be the legend. sure they may be better but goldeneye was the one that started it all, its the inovator, the main event, the icon. wiff that said, i must say agent under fire SUX....after a few hours that is. first of all, the name really doesnt fit the bond style, but who cares, i just had to get it off my chest. now there certanly is a lot of bond shtuff in the game but it gets annoting when ur playing and all of a sudden a short video sequence pops up and bond goes "mmmm fire works" gets in my nerves after i played the level 10 times. also the game is extremely short, i finished the game and i was like....what?...is the game stuck? also there is no ending just a stupid spoiler thingy telling what all the "bond" moves are. one thing that really got in my nerves was the guns. u shoot ur 6 bullet wolfram or whatever it is they are calling the P99 these days and u can see the bullets flying at 5 mph, ive seen paintballs go faster than that. and when u hit ur oponents they dont react like in goldeneye, they just go "ouch" and dont stop firing, u shoot their heads and they go "ouch" but its no wonder why they go "ouch" since ur shooting lil bullets that look like rubber at 5 mph. u have almost no control over the action unlike goldeneye where u could shoot the nearest oponent on his hand and he would stop firing and go "EEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH" instead of "ouch" and u could then take care of the rest of ur oponents while hes busy feeling pain. in fact the action in "goldeneye" is so much better that "under fire" i used to do lil jhon woo like action sequences in the train level hiding behing doors and shooting with 2 guns in hand shoothing in front and behing with a skill i was able to master with the doors when i was surrounded. in "under fire" u just shoot and watch them go "ouch" as they kill u. but its ok, no game is good enough for bond, we all know "the world is not enough" ;)

Review for Agent Under Fire |
| Jeff from Cincinnati, USA says (26/Jun/2002): |
hey gamers, Im Jeff. Anyway, this Bond game is pretty good but still nothing compared to Goldeneye. What I think of this game is that it could use more levels and complex puzzles. That's a point took away. My favorite feature in this game is the cars because they look so good and I actually have an car like Lotus Espirt! Anyway, that doesn't earn a star. The worst part of this game was the lack of complexity and the multiplayer. That loses 2 stars. The absence of blood and mortal peril in this game might appeal to parents but to me, that loses 1 star. Now on to the good features. The storyline is a very good one which desevres a star. The creativy of the weapons and gadgets is fair and earns a star. That's about it. Anyway, in conclusion, this game is a must-borrow. That's right, borrow it. You should only play it for 5 minutes or so to see if it appeals to you. If it does, buy it.

It's worth buying if you are not a game freak |
| A gamer from Louisiana, USA says (5/Aug/2002): |
This game is pretty good for me at least. It's plenty hard and I really like the new gadgets. The cars are cool too. What I really favor though is the storyline. The multiplayer is OK except it gets boring fast. It needs something added to it. Another thing i don't like is it's short. I'm close to beating it and I barely play it. I do like the awards and stuff that you get after beating and getting points in levels. So I think it is worth buying if you are not a game freak!!
