007: Agent Under Fire

When i first got this game i was most pleased with it. But soon after i found it to easy and completed it in three days. Also a number of things let it down for example: The two twins you see on Cold Reception you are expecting to fight them, however you do not. But it is an unwritten rule that on a Bond film the person who introduces Bond to the Prime villian always ends up fighting him, however on Agent under fire you do not. Another thing is that Carla the Jackal appears quite deadly however when you fight she fights worse than a............. well Carla the Jackal. Another thing that was a let down was the AI intelligence and the fact that the bodies disappear, even perfect dark can handle that and thats on the n64. (Which has less memory) Also the multiplayer was a let down the legs on the players moved to fast for the speed that they were going! And the fact that you can only get three AI bots, Perfect Dark can manage eight. Overall not bad but alot of room for improvement.

This bond game is pretty good because: The mission's are pretty good they are most of the time fun and sometimes hard and challenging to complete that can be fun sometimes. The cars in this game are good the car mission's are pretty fun to do. The voice over actors are good. The way bond looks is pretty good but would have been better if they made bond look like one of the actors but who cares it is still fun to play. It also has lots of action in it and the graphics are pretty good as well. This game is really fun so rent it or buy it some time because it is pretty fun to play.

Overall score ******* out of **********

Agent Under Fire is the best 1st Person Shoot I've ever played! Graphics are awesome, gameplay is intuitive and there are so many features and it's so much fun you just don't get bored! Each time I play each level it becomes even more fun and I always discover something new every time! Definitely buy this game!!!

I'm not really big on the Bond games. Most of then are no more than ordinary first person shooters with licensed characters. I guess since the original Goldeneye game on the Nintendo 64 was so popular they felt like they shouldn't stray to far from the winning formula.

In this game we have a generic interpretation of Bond involved in a dull plot involving clones and kidnapped world leaders. We go through several different locations but only some of them are cool and none are used to their full potential. There are a couple of driving levels too, but the street design is just uninspired.

The best thing about FPS games is the ability to just go berserk and shoot-up the place, hoping to catch the baddies in the crossfire. But you don't really get a lot of ammo and reloading is painfully slow sometimes. And the destruction you can inflict upon the environment is very limited.

I can really only recommend AUF to Bond fans. The rest of you have soooo many other choices for superior FPS games, you don't want to waste your time with this one.

10 out of 10 - A Forgotten Gem That Still Hits Like a Heavyweight

Before Nightfire took the Bond crown in the early 2000s, Agent Under Fire was out here setting the tone. Released in 2001, this was Bond stepping confidently into the sixth-gen console era, and despite flying a bit under the radar, it's packed with style, tension, and everything you expect from the Bond legacy-explosions, espionage, and gadgets for days.

This wasn't based on a film. This was an original Bond story, and that made it feel fresh and unpredictable. You weren't retracing steps from the movies-you were living out a brand new Bond mission, one gun barrel roll at a time.

Gameplay: Classic Bond, Elevated

This game's got that tight first-person shooter foundation, but what separates it is variety. You're not just shooting your way through corridors-you're ziplining, driving, sneaking, scuba-diving, and unleashing gadgets like a true MI6 agent. The pacing is slick, the missions diverse, and the action? Clean.

The gadgets are wild: laser watches, grapple hooks, remote drones, and more. You feel like a spy-not just a soldier with a license to kill.

Multiplayer? Completely slept on. Split-screen chaos with explosive gadgets, custom loadouts, and vertical map design that rewards creative mayhem.

Story: Clones, Conspiracies, and Chaos

The plot's got classic Bond flavor: a secret organization cloning world leaders, shady biotech corporations, and a mysterious villain with global domination on the brain. You're chasing intel, sabotaging labs, and trying to prevent the biggest power grab in human history.

It's campy in that signature Bond way, but it never loses its edge.

Set Piece Power

Let's talk set pieces. From covert infiltration on bullet trains to high-speed car chases with rockets flying through city streets, Agent Under Fire serves some unforgettable moments. "Poseidon" (the underwater level)? Iconic. Driving missions with the Q-laden BMW 750iL? Straight-up gold.

Everything is tightly choreographed to give you that perfect balance of spy stealth and blockbuster action.

Legacy: Bond Before the Boom

It walked so Nightfire could run. But make no mistake-Agent Under Fire still stands tall. The originality of the story, the mission diversity, and that unforgettable early 2000s Bond energy make this a must-play for fans of the franchise. It's not as flashy as its successors, but it's got heart, charm, and guts.

Final Verdict

10 out of 10.

An underrated Bond classic that holds up remarkably well. It may not be remembered as loudly as GoldenEye or Nightfire, but real ones know-Agent Under Fire is the blueprint.

This wasn't just a test run.

This was Bond proving once again: He never needed a movie to steal the show.
