007: Agent Under Fire

Featuring Voices from: Adam Bicknell, Adam Blackwell, and Caron Pascoe

James Bond is assigned to rescue Special Agent Zoe Nightshade who is being held captive in a terrorist's submarine station. He leaves with her as they drive by to retrieve a stolen, classified briefcase. They bring it back to R, Bond's gadget man, and it isn't before long when an assassin comes and steals the briefcase and gets away. But not for long. Bond gets in his new BMW and pursues her and gets it back. After that, he is assigned to go to Romania, to find information on a cloning operation. He travels all over Europe in order to foil a terrorist's, Nigel Bloch's, plan to clone politicians from all over the world.

Fair Bond game. Not as good as Goldeneye, but is an improvement over TWINE for Playstation. This may not be very realistic, but it is filled with Action and Adventure. Although, the worst thing is that this barely has a plot. The lack of realism is pretty high. It is your average James Bond adventure, where he saves the world, as usual, in the end. I do recommend Agent Under Fire, however, I do recommend that you also play Goldeneye and Nightfire.

Once "Goldeneye 007" was released for the Nintendo '64 console, that title instantly became the standard by which all future Bond FPS's would be judged. In the case of "Agent Under Fire" for the Gamecube, it does just enough "to get by" but fails to stand out in any of the categories that made its predecessor great.

The main problem with this game is that it just feels "clunky" sometimes. Whereas "Goldeneye" was always slick and smooth, "Agent Under Fire" is bulky and awkward.

The single player mode is hit-and-miss, with some missions being quite fun and others just being a shoot-em-up fest. Not having an actual Bond movie to base the levels around was the downfall here.

Of course, one of the hallmarks of any Bond game is the multiplayer mode, and in this aspect "Agent Under Fire" just doesn't hold a candle to its predecessors. It seems as if the multiplayer experience SHOULD be better than it is (same basic layout as other similar game modes), but again it just lacks that "punch" of the seminal "Goldeneye" multiplayer mode that re-defined FPS games.

Though some Nintendo Gamecube games still hold up today even in the world of XBOX 360 and beyond, "Agent Under Fire" is not one of them. You would be better off sticking with "Goldeneye" on the N64 than "upgrading" to this.

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!!!

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.

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.
