"Nightfire: Another souless piece of James Bond crap"

Got it an hour ago and already I hate it with a passion. Luckily I didn't have to pay penny for it, my mate 'borrowed' it from work.

Absoloute tosh, graphically very nice but gameplay wise it's terrible. The guns loks good but feel like your shooting a pea shooter at your enemies. Enemies don't even flinch when they get shot, just stand their and eventually fall over.

The fact that the first enemy I shot fell over and half of his body dissapeared into the scenery was not a good sign. The enemies can only be described as stupid, fair enough ocasionally they take cover behing objects but other than that they're dumber than Top Score.

The driving levels are souless crap, boring as hell. Onl rails shooting levels look good but in the long run they're boring and repetetive.

Multiplayer is about as much fun as scapring your nails down a mile long blackboard.

welldone EA for churning out another waste of sapce cashin on the James Bond license...at least they're consistant.

I love first person shooters and have played through a few bad ones in my time but this one I really just can't be bothered to waste my time on.

Absoloute boring rubbish.

Madden, NBA and NHL 2003s.
Fifa aslo, to some people.

I am afraid I have to agree :( I got the game for Christmas and at first I thought that it could be a Goldeneye beater but I was so wrong! I have sold it now and I did platinum every single mission and played some of the mediocre multi-player. In my opnion Agent Under Fire was/is better and at half the price I would go for that. Its a shame that EA can't hit the right balance because time is ticking on and they are losing my vote. To be honest I think that all EA games are boring to play and although Medal of Honour Frontline had a great opening and awesome 5.1 the rets of the game was quite poor.

I seem to remember telling you all some time ago that nightfie was pure rubbish.
But did you listen?
Did you heck.

EA aren't even developing Soul Calibur 2 on any of the consoles; they're mreely publishing it for the PS2 and Xbox, while Nintendo will publish the GC version.

You were a bit of a fool expecting an EA Bond shooter to be anything special.

SSX tricky was good, I agree, but it lost it's appeal very quickly.

As for Tiger Woods 2003, I'm sure it;s good, but the PS2 2002 version was, well, pants.


But maybe that's just me.

I quite like Nightfire. The enemies DO react when you shoot them. You should give it another go. It's good fun, while it lasts.

Apart from SSX Tricky, every EA developed game recently has been tosh.

EA have made some pretty good game recently IMO. Freekstyle, Tiger Woods 2003 and Medal of Honor i've really enjoyed.

Some forthcoming EA games are looking very promising as well. Def jam Vendetta and Soul Calibur 2 being the main points of intrest.

Nightfire from the screenshots showed promise but it would have been better off staying as screenshots as far as I'm concerned.
