3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat decent FPS for the GBA, March 20, 2003

This review is from: James Bond 007: Nightfire (Video Game)

If you've played Nightfire on any of the other home systems, than you'll be pleased to know that for the most part that the objectives, locations, and maps are nearly identical (albeit more simplistic) in this GBA conversion. The only problem is, you'll be lucky if you can see what your doing half the time. The first thing you'll notice when you pop in Nightfire, are the surprisingly blurry graphics. The enemies move around so stiff and the graphics are so blurry that sometimes you'll have a hard time telling if your shooting an enemy or a coffee table, but the enemies shout out annoying one liners at you so this doesn't become that big a drawback (then again..). The clumsy item access interface that is found on any of the other Nightfire versions is here as well, but thanks to the GBA's limited control scheme it is harder to navigate items and while moving and aiming your weapon at the same time. This becomes even more of a pain during the stealth missions. However, Nightfire is not without it's charm; the music and sound effects are excellent and some of the best to be heard on the GBA, and there is a surprising amount of depth to be found thanks to getting to use all sorts of Bond gadgets like the laser wristwatch and tons more, all of which you have access to. That alone is Nightfire's saving grace, and the game's surprising depth makes it worth a rental, but I strongly suggest trying the game before you buy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Doom, um... I mean Nightfire for the GBA!, June 8, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: James Bond 007: Nightfire (Video Game)

This game is a little bit on the strange side. The graphics and what-not remind you of Doom. The music is creepy at points due to its low resolution sound. My friend yelled at me once because I turned it up and scared him! For each aspect of the game, I will give you a 1 to 10 rating:
Story-7/10
The story involves a special missile of mass destruction. Like Moonraker, right?
Gameplay-3/10
Sad gameplay that takes months to get used to. Becauseit is a first person shooter, we have difficulties. Instead of a nice joystick for maneuvering, you have a square gamepad. The fact that it is first person defintely affects the game in general.
Graphics-2/10
Doom graphics. Because the effects are blocky, it makes levels with security cameras difficult. It is hard to tell whether a camera is facing you or not. The graphics are definitely sad. They tried to hard...
Difficulty-9/10
The gameplay and graphics increase difficulty. In stealthy levels, men do not need to go to a panel to make an alert. One word and you fail. The cameras are hard to see as well as the baddies making it very hard.
Overall-5/10
A halfway decent game that had to much work done on it. I have played it from a friend, but I must say I would not buy it unless it is 90% off. Just rent it and try it out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bond . . . James Bond., July 10, 2004

SeriousDuke (Albuquerque, New Mexico United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: James Bond 007: Nightfire (Video Game)

007: Nightfire, the third best GBA FPS, and the 10th released. 007: Nightfire definitely delivers from start to finish. We get an in-depth story with neat cut-scenes, wall-to-wall action, and an amazing graphic system. The graphics may look a little grainy but it is one of the most advanced developed for the GBA and pretty impressive. Nightfire also delivers by giving us a nice variety of weapons and Q-Lab gadgets. We get our usual assortment of pistols and machine guns (the bullet shells release from the guns side when you fire!) and our gadgets include a cell-phone grapple (used for reaching high places), a laser watch, a PDA (used to hack), a tranquilizer dart pen, and a little CD hidden in a credit card to monitor computer sysems. So far, so good. The 9 levels the game features are enormous and quite a challenge to get through. You'll find yourself playing the same mission quite a bit in order to get past. Awesome boss battles are also a great edition to the game. The game is a challenge, a fun challenge at that!
