1) It's not as bad as you have been led to beleive by gaming mags, infact it's pretty damn good

2) The Driving sections rule

3) The graphics look sweet

4) The multiplayer rocks

5) It has guns

6) It's the only 1st person shooter on Cube for a good few months

7) It has guns

He obviously meant "Completed it and UNLOCKED most of the cheats in 3 days". He didn't use the cheats to complete it, he unlocked them like you do in Goldeneye! :-D

I played this on the PS2, not that good, nice graphics though, decent car sections, lots of variety just lacking in gameplay for me.

It wouldn't have been so bad if it was being compared to Goldeneye as every bond game now is. Just because one developer makes an effort in a Bond game doesn't mean they all have to.

Hur hur hur I'm so funny :0)

I agree with Sonic and Vottanator. I've got AUF on the PS2, although I'm now selling it. It's a not a great FPS, it has a few good driving levels and that's it. The rest of the game is made up of bland, badly designed and short shooting (with the occasional stealth) levels.

The whole game is far too short and far too easy, it took me just over two days to complete, and the only thing I've gone back for in the game is the cool driving levels. The multiplayer is crap, again the arenas you fight around are too small, and quickly become like the main games levels. Dull, small and boring.

Don't make the mistake thinking that because this is a James Bond game, and it's on a Nintendo machine that it's the next goldeneye. I've never played Goldeneye, but I've read enough to know that it's ten times better than this game.

If you must want a JB game, then I suggest you wait for Nightfire. That looks far better than this dissapointing effort.

The only reason I cancelled Shenmue was because it's been out of stock for quite a while, and I was told that they don't know when/if they'll get anymore stock in - kinda like the Skies of Arcadia thing.
And I won't have a Dreamcast for a good few weeks yet anyway, and I saw no point in getting a great game that I won't be able to play anyway!

And I chose Agent Under Fire as I need to get back into FPS's after the N64 games, and I think this would be a good start. I've heard good and bad things about this game, but by winning it, i'm can't face the possibillity of wasting £40.

Noooooo! Biggest mistake you'll ever make. Well, it won't be the BIGGEST obviously but it's pretty big. Shenmue is a brilliant game whereas AUF is crap.

And Tiltawhirl, I don't need to believe you because I have played the game myself. The car levels were fun but far too short and it was sooo easy. I played it on the default difficulty setting (probably normal?) and got golds on the first 6 missions or so in my first attempts. Oh no, I died once! Then I played a few multiplayers before realising the game was truly pitiful. Turned on TimeSplitters after that and played 4 player on that instead. Far better, but still no Perfect Dark.

Physics exam tomorrow.....last one! But it's during the goddamm Japan game! Why do I always miss the Japan games thanks to exams?! Well, my hopes will be with them. I hope they destroy Turkey. But I'm not so sure they will. Come on Japan!

I had it on the PS2:

5 reasons NOT to get AUF

1) It took me 3 days of casual play to finnish the whole one player game with most of the cheats.

2) There are only 12 (or was is 8??) levels.

3) The multiplayer does not live up to Goldeneye in any way

4) There are better alternatives in PD or, looking further afield, Halo.

5) Did I mention how short it was?


That said, the game was sooooo promising. Driving scenes are excellent, as is the range of weapons. The only thing that lets it down is how short it it!

You'll be glad to know that i've changed my last GAD claim from the out of stock Shenmue to the newly released Agent Under Fire. :)

Hopefully that'll arrive quite soon.

I was gunna get this game anyway but you've made it sound even better than I first thought it was!

I know some people who have played it on the PS2 and they say that it's a great game. Some say it's better than GoldenEye, many others say 'not quite'.

But this game is on my 'next2get' list behind Burnout and Smash Bros. Melée. I also like the look of the graphics and the driving parts.

How does the control system work??
Is it Z or A to fire?? Does the C-stick move the crosshair and the left one move Bond???
