Bond films always grab your attention with a spectacular opening full of amazing set pieces and breathtaking stunts but, in a preview of things to come, Nightfire kicks off with you infiltrating a castle straight out of Wolfenstein, pressing some switches to unlock some doors and shooting some guards.
Something is slightly awry straight away. Not that Nightfire is a bad game, it’s just that it isn’t nearly as good as it could have been. Well, if you’re a Bond purist, like me, then quite a lot actually. Gearbox has one of the best records in the PC gaming world, and believe us, once Nightfire is finished, it looks like it's going to be one hell of a ride. I think the PC version is most likely to appeal to fans of the FPS genre while the console versions are following in the footsteps of Agent Under Fire, and as such are incorporating driving missions into their mix."

During his go, Dave used stealth tactics (aided by a pair of night vision sunglasses) to negotiate his way round wandering patrol men, cunningly utilising a knock-out dart-firing fountain pen to silently immobilise his foes. Playing Nightfire proved to be an exhilarating experience, with many ways of approaching each level. so most villains and characters will feel fresh to fans of Bond." Bond generally acts as a lone wolf sent in to single-handedly take care of those messy situations that would normally require an entire covert team." So how about the villains? Anyone we'll recognise from the films? "Nightfire features an original storyline that has been developed in collaboration with MGM/Danjaq. "The player will interact with several characters throughout Nightfire - some helpful and some not so helpful.
