Whether it is the fun single player or the exciting bot-killing in multiplayer, NightFire is "the last great Bond video game" in my opinion. What are your thoughts?

Sorry, but I found the game's presentation and packaging to be p*ss poor. Though I did like driving the mountain terrain Aston....

To be fair, I'm no gamer...

I agree. I think part of the reason why i like this game better then the last ones because it was the last first-person shooter.

I'm still waiting for the Bond game which feature all six Bonds.

What I think makes this game work is that it deal with more action then story, nothin' wrong with games with a story, but the scritps for EON and FRWL weren't done well.

I definitely prefer FPS. I hope the next Bond game goes back to this...IMO there is nothing more dull than using the third person "lock on" targeting. It just doesn't allow for much skill.

Didn’t like NightFire. Probably the only Bond game I bought new and didn’t bother to finish. To me the controls were just weird. I like first person shooters, just not for Bond. For Bond the FPS seems to genericise the game. It doesn’t seem like Bond.

I didn't like it either, but I admit I had the PC version, which is not as good as the console version. I have played the console version though.

The only EA Bond game that I really liked was Everything or Nothing. From Russia with Love was alright, but I consider it to be a big lazy rehash. If it didn't have Sean Connery voicing Bond then I probably would have rated it even worse.

Hate to tell you Asterix, but the next Bond game by Acitivision and Treyarch will probably be FPS with a certain amount of third-person perspective thrown in. Last time I checked anyway.

Nightfire! Nightfire is good I was playing it recently trying to end it, but it wasn't the last great Bond game to me. Goldeneye was so fun I couldn't stop playing it then Everything or Nothing. I still haven't played FRWL fully except on a demo and I thought that was pretty good. I now prefer 3rd person shooter

I hope so! After two third-person's in a row (EON, FRWL), I think an FPS would switch things up nicely.

For multiplayer, I agree (although From Russia With Love does have a pretty fun multiplayer, EON's I thought was awful with the exception of the co-op missions).

For singleplayer, I thought EON was much more fun. It has more missions and a more interesting story.

[Bucky]

it was a good game but i dont think it was the last great bond video game. i thought everything or nothing was better overall, although the multiplayer battles werent that good, and from russia with love was good too, although not as good as everything or nothing
