007: Nightfire (also released as James Bond 007: Nightfire) is a first-person shooter video game featuring the character of the British secret agent James Bond and a sequel to Agent Under Fire, published by Electronic Arts in 2002.
007: NightFire was developed by Eurocom for the PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube, and Xbox video game consoles. Gearbox Software developed the game for Windows using a very heavily modified GoldSrc engine (derived from the Opposing Force fork, also developed by Gearbox), which Aspyr later re-released for the Mac. The computer versions are substantially different from the console versions, featuring different missions and a modified story line. In 2003 Electronic Arts released NightFire for the Game Boy Advance, this time developed by JV Games.
The game marked Pierce Brosnan's fourth appearance as James Bond before the release of his fourth and final Bond film Die Another Day. His likeness was featured in the game, but not his voice, which was provided by Maxwell Caulfield. - Ігри
this game shined in the multiplayer. all the gadgets and cool guns like a guided missile made it really fun to play
Helis and tanks mate
I fucking bullied my brother by camping and using the guided missiles on him in this game. Good times. Eventually he started whining about my tactics and begged me to stop, wasn’t my fault he couldn’t win.
Indeed mate when I was in school me and a few of my mates used to play multiplayer and just used to work together slaughtering hundreds of bots was just great fun.
Absolutely plus the mini tanks and choppers fun multiplayer I’m sticking to goldeneye as number 1 in multiplayer but nightfire is definitely number 2
Wouldn't it be "shone?"
I played multiplayer a ton with my friends. That was a lot of fun and allowed bots.
Yeah, I doubt I would remember this game had it not been for split screen deathmatch.
I liked playing with my brother and we used to always play on ravine
you can still play it online with friends. You just need the nightfirepc patch.
Same! So many hours w the sentinal rocket launcher had so much fun made the game imo
Except the ravine sadly
I want this game remastered. It's easily one of the best Bond games just like GoldenEye.
I know Activision owns the Bond game rights, but I wish somebody like Nightdive Studios would buy the rights for this one game and port it over to modern day consoles.
Nobody owns the licence atm
@@Xx_m1k3_0X1onG_xX Here to share with you guys that IO Interactive is making a Bond game :)
@@007bogossemre007 I know I saw yesterday, I got real high hopes
Yeah they could call it Nightdive's Nightfire :P
@@Marker57 There's the door.
Go on.
Actually, the console version ended on the space station.
Also, the PC version doesn't just omit sections of the game, whole levels are altered dramatically. The first level alone is proof. On console, it starts as more of a "choose your path" type level that is quite open (for a PS2/Gamecube/Xbox era game), where as the PC version is very linear and closed down.
I agree with you, but you ended up in a Space Station in the PC Port too.
-Mariano Productions-
I wouldn't know, I played that first map on PC and realized why the port was not as kindly received as the console version and I just stopped. I was not about to play through an inferior version of one of my more favorite games of that generation... at least when it first came out... it doesn't play too hot today because of how the controls work.
Also, the PC version worked fine for me for the short amount of time I played it. It was as easy as putting the disks in and installing it. Little confusing why he had an issue...
PC version ran like shite imo. Far uglier than the console version, the weapons were clunkier, and the level design - as you said- is ass.
@@ac8911 I do love the weapon design in the PC version a lot better though, the P99 fits the game a lot better imho.
The P99 is unlocked by getting the Pistol Upgrade twice, first its a gold PP7, then a P99 and finally a golden P99
Nighfire in splitscreen multiplayer on the PS2 kicked ass. Even on smaller TVs it was pretty fun, though it was mainly an explosives spam fest.
Best Bond game ever, suck it Goldeneye
No one lives forever is the best bond game.
+Low Grit Sandpaper Everything or nothing
Aquariuskudo Nolf is still better.
Low Grit Sandpaper But its not a bond game.
Aquariuskudo It has everything bond though.
Multiplayer was the best thing about this game.
This game on the PS2, a multi-tap adapter and 3 other friends were responsible for some of the best afternoons in my life.
Absolutely. Good, good times.
This is one of my all time favorite FPS games. I had so much fun playing multiplayer with my friends and going through single-player whenever they weren't around.
This game was legendary. You didn't even talk about the split screen multiplayer, and the graphics were to be expected for a game of its age. There's great mission variety too, from the open choice first level, to the wide open sniping level in Chain Reaction, the cool aesthetics of Double Cross, the stairwell from hell in Phoenix Fire. Not to mention all the cool upgrades you get for getting gold medals.
There was one more game on this generation: From Russia With Love. Maybe it's nostalgia speaking, but I really enjoyed that one.
This is one of my favourite games on the PS2 (never played the PC version which looks terrible), so I disagree about it being average. But admittedly, a lot of that is nostalgia.
I just think the game works because of its settings, Bond charm, gadgets and vehicle sections. It's very much got the actiony part of James Bond down, which only Everything or Nothing managed to top.
But come on man, you get to infiltrate a castle, go to Japan, drive underwater and fight in space! Compared to the gray bunkers of (military) shooters of today, I'd much rather play Nightfire.
the reviewer wouldn't understand any of that. He's chronically over critical, and should probably become a florist instead of an independent game reviewer.
I remember having such a good time with this game when I was younger. Lol I remember that raptor magnum was my favorite gun in the game
I used to play the multiplayer of this game on PC with bots all the time. The weapons and maps were so much fun
I loved NF. We were dying for a goldeneye update for years and this was it
multi-player right? Because the campaign didn't have the "legs" that GoldenEye 64 had, at a time when games needed to be long. Why? Because there weren't many big games back then.
@@xman777b the campaign was ok, too.
I loved this game, planning on replaying it on OG Xbox. This is one of the best 'Goldeneye Successor' games along with Timesplitters 2/3, and the Perfect Dark games.
When I wake up and see a new video from Gggmanlives...
Makes my coffee taste even better.
Man I absolutely loved Nightfire as a kid, thanks for reviewing
I remember having a lot of fun with this game on PS2 back in 02-03; it seemed to capture a lot of what made N64 GoldenEye fun, especially in multiplayer.
aw dude i loved this game when i was a little kid. i LOVED the stealth parts. i still try to stealth around in other games like it was nightfire.
Real gangsters played Nightfire on the GameCube
Alternative title - 'How to be overly harsh in hindsight on a game from 19yrs ago (14yrs at the time of review).'
Agent Under Fire & Nightfire were great games at the time. They might not have been outstanding console sellers but they were fun, got the Bond 'feeling' & were worth the money.
My favorite thing about your reviews is your recognition of the most critical attribute of any game. Fun. While I get it's subjective, few reviews or reviewers even reference fun. It does not matter if a game is a work of art, has high production value, or great mechanics, I only care how much fun a game is. Thanks for that.
Such a classic game. Back when we had tons of awesome games coming out but still didn't quite know which was better cause we couldn't play all of them. I replayed this a few months ago and had to stop cause I was stuck on that under water level where you're in your car. I gotta go back and try it again.
Thanks for this video! My rose tinted glasses just shattered xD Granted, I remember playing the PS2 multiplayer when I was a kid with the extra controller expansion and myself and 8 friends would play this game on 2 tvs. GREAT FUN!
great channel dude!
Nightfire had a fantastic multiplayer on the pc ..... and that was probably the closest ,gaming has ever gotten to a multiplayer stealth game ! Sadly no one plays it anymore ....
You ever play Metal Gear Solid 4 MP. That's definitely a stealth MP game.
they're still try to remake it in source but no one's playing that either
Closest to a multiplayer stealth game? I see you've never played Splinter Cell Chaos Theory online.
I have ! I actually have it right now .... playing mostly Versus btw . However when matches start in Chaos Theory all the spies seem to fly all over the map where the mercs just seem to be stay defenseless against them hoping not to get killed as fast as the others . And considering how fast everything happens i think Versus is more like an action game rather than stealth .
there are still people playing it online! Just download the patch/game from nightfirepc and join the game...
Love the reviews!
I would say the best version of Nightfire was the Gamecube version because it ran in 60 FPS and also had 4 player splittscreen multiplayer and i think it had the best multiplayer of all Bond games.
xbox version too rigth?
xbox had same things. Gosh I loved playing that game when I was a kid, even if i understood nothing.
The Gamecube version is also playable on PC, using Dolphin and the TimeSplitters 2 mouse injector. In fact, I'm halfway through that version of the game at the moment.
Nice review mate!! Hope to see more Bond on your channel lol
This game made me love FPS games. One of the first I played as a kid, loved the local multiplayer with my brother.
Hope you get around to reviewing 007 Bloodstone someday. Best reviewer on YT!
That game was very good.
It was, indeed. I'm not huge on third-person shooters, but that game just feels so satisfying to play.
I would like to watch that aswell.
LOVED this one...great review. More Bond games please : )
Yay! Been waiting for this one for a long time.
I remember on consoles (not sure about on PC) this game had a pretty awesome arena-match mode that you could play solo with bots. I loved that you could just have some random carnage on a multiplayer-type map with settings that you could tweak, like AI difficulty, weapon spawns, enemy types, etc. If I remember correctly there were drones you could set up and pilot remotely, controllable guided missiles, and other cool shittt.
This was the very first FPS game I ever played on the PS2. So many hours spent in it, and a lot of good memories. I went back and played it again recently. It's lost it's charm, but I'll still remember it fondly.
I played it on xbox, good times, now my xbox is sitting and taking dust because my controllers wont work
Hi gggman, I noticed you neglected to mention From Russia with Love in the list of sixth generation bond games, please could you review it along with Everything or Nothing? Many thanks I enjoy your videos
G from russia with love is an amazing game! Bunch of memories
this was the first fps i played on the gamecube. what a fantastic game holy shit
Love the review gggmanlives. I remember this game at blockbuster and rented it a few times and enjoyed myself. Out of curiosity will we see more reviews of other jame bond games?
I'm not sure what else there is to review.
+Gggmanlives there's a few PS3 bond games but nothing really else for PC or ps2 unless you count from Russia with love on ps2.
+MarfidudeGaming he only reviews for pc
Maybe.
I was waiting for this one.
You just got yourself another subscriber. Your accent is extremely clear and easy to understand. It's great that you cover all the major aspects of the game. May I ask what part of Australia are you from? (assuming you're from Aus)
Thanks!
Nightfire splitscreen multiplayer for PS2 were 10x more fun then everything or nothing coop.
Ah memories. I loved this game so much.
I love how you said "voiced by a real Australian" at 2:10 as if you guys are some kinda mythical creatures:) love your review, as is always the case.
This game was part of my child hood multiplayer on the ps2 with my friend was amazing.
Are you going to look at other Bond games like From Russia with Love?
Nope.
lol
is it just my nostalgia or were the graphics on GameCube much better than ps2 for this game?
Pretty sure it looks better... playing through it right now.
GameCube came 2 years after the PS2, so it has more powerful hardware.
Ps2 graphics always suck
sorry for necro I guess, but having the game for both the PS2 and Xbox, I can say it's the PS2 version that is just ugly, and running at 30 fps it seems. Wouldn't surprise me the Gamecube version also looks better.
@@RoadRager1904 PS2 version still runs at 60 fps, though it definitely looks worse than GameCube.
Multiplayer was the best part by far, had so much fun on that one snow map with the ski lift that goes around the map.
I absolutely love this game. I have only ever played the first 5 missions though. What I love about this game is the multiplayer. I had a lot of fun playing with my dad and brother.
Man, I've been hoping you will do an Escape from Butcher Bay review for years. I'm actually surprised you haven't done it.
Man I remember the hours spent playing the multiplayer of this on that map with the gondola, or was that the previous game?
I played the PC version when it came out and i remember having lots of fun with it
THE NOSTALGIA!!!
Nostalgia hurts my soul. I miss the early 2000s. 😭
I've noticed you've added babes to the thumbnails of your videos.
I very much approve.
It's standard UA-cam clickbait everyone has to do it now
Yeah, fuck me for wanting to get more views on a video I spent 20+ hours making, right?
Gggmanlives *"Fuck Me"*
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Yes
NOSTALGIA, I remember my dad and Uncle Playing the Multiplayer constantly, I also Remeber Being horrified by the Blood rolling down the screen effect in the Iconic Intro.
I had this game on Xbox, one of my favorites growing up. It was such a classic!
I never had this but played soooo much of the multiplayer at my friend's house as a kid
Gggmanlives thanks for reviewing another James Bond game! With all those other PS2 James Bond games you mentioned do you plan to also review them in the near future? P.S. Thanks for reviewing both the PC and PS2 versions as they are different to each other.
Some differences I noticed in this when comparing the console versions is that the game on the Xbox version ran as smooth as the PC version and some of the cinematics were in game instead of pre-rendered.
Holy A$$! that was awesome, I love all the comparisons you do for all the titles especially the PC & PS2 counterparts, ALTHOUGH! one last awesome james bond game you should check out is tommorow never dies for the PS1 :D
This game was a hell of a lot of fun on PS2, campaign was hard as balls at times though. Enjoyed playing with my brother on the multiplayer.
My goodness, It's as though I heard that intro music just the other day. But it was 13 years ago!
I played that game a ton when I was a kid. I don't remember any shooting sections, just sneaking around and driving/flying.
Ahhh, nightfire. Me and my brother played the shit out of it when we were kids. Good times. I also notice that for the time, the PS2 version had some pretty good animations on the goons when they got shot ( ties not being glued on the their suites when they die, etc).
I freakin loved this game for ps2.
One of my first and favorite GameCube games :D
Gggman what about the Brothers In Arms series? Have you played any of those games? And if you did,will there be a review of some sort? :)
I'm working on them now.
+Gggmanlives Are you going to do the Metroid Prime Series?
Gggmanlives
I'm looking forward to those reviews :D Keep up the good work :)
I like the fact that you can play older games and enjoy them for what they are. I want to get quake 2 for my ps1, even if I own the PC disc.
Loved this game as a kid
Have this game in my cupboard on Gamecube, asbolutely loved it. Drops heaps of hours on this.
6:00. This is only the case if you don't do the Bond move. You can access a fuse box to knock out the lights and easily slip past both of those guards when they go to investigate it.
Loved this game. Yeah the shooting wasn't too great and the levels weren't the strongest but it's pure nostalgia that makes me love it. I remember being 7 years old playing this game on New Years Eve to line up with the Paris mission. Plus, the optional bot multiplayer kept me entertained for many hours, as I didn't have any online gaming experience back then.
I did a search on the number plate. It is indeed attached to an Aston Martin Vanquish.
But - if you look past the SORN and MOT expiry and low mileage data, you'll see when it was first registered - 11th April 2003. The film was made before this.
The only logical thing I can think of is that it was late registered and the VIN tallies up with 2001/2002 and most likely a reserved number plate later applied as a "private" plate.
I played Goldeneye first, but this is the game that truly birthed my love for Multiplayer FPS games.
Please do an Everything Or Nothing review. My lord that game is so good. In my top ten.
Also, I think Nightfire is better than Goldeneye.
Ohh man i hella remember playing this game back in the day on multiplayer i shit you not it was soo addicting it was crazy ohh man the nostalgia
I remember playing this game so much as a kid on my PS2. Wasn't good but I played it a lot nonetheless.
This on GameCube was the first FPS I had ever played. In SOME respects, it's still one of the best I've played, and split-screen multiplayer with custom rules was bloody fantastic.
Still remember staying up all night with a friend just playing capture the flag. The two of us versus however many bots would fit on the other team. Fun times.
Do you have any plans to review other 007 games?
My younger brother and I used to play the deathmatch with all of the cheats enabled. Still one of my favorite GameCube games based on that alone
alura's abs is 😩👌
I actually did not mind Goldeneye Reloaded at all, it reminded me of these games alot and how much I've missed them.
God have mercy on us, a whole ten minutes without checkpoints?!?!?!
Yes, a whole 10 minutes.
Wow, this game looks A LOT different on PC than it does on XBOX. When I first got my XBOX I didn't really have much to play as I had Fuzion Frenzy, Crismon Skies: High Road to Revenge, Spider-Man, Jet Set Radio Future/GT 2000, & 007 Nightfire but I never truly ever got tired of Nightfire. Then once I got a few more games like Halo 2, Mace Griffin: Bounty Hunter, Brute Force, & Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Buther Bay, I found that I kept coming back to Nightfire. Granted I was only like maybe 10-12 but I loved this game and even now I still think it's fun. This guy is a bit too cynical IMO though. The game came out in 2002 so no it's not going to have spectacular graphics but at the time it still looked pretty good. Also no you don't have to use the manual aim to get through the game, as I can point, shoot, and kill enemies just fine. The only time I use manual aim is for a headshot on an unsuspecting enemy. PC players bitching about controllers is getting really fucking old.....
PS2 James Bond game review by Gggman? FUCK YES!....GoldenEye review soon Gggman!
I only played 2 James Bond games Quantum of solace and Blood stone.
I would really like to hear your review on 007 Legends.
The mp on ps2 was great! One of the best mp games!
hey i remember this it came with the PC when my dad bought it 14 years ago xD
Are you gonna do any reviews for the CoD spin-offs (Finest Hour, Big Red One), or any of the other Medal of Honor games (European Assault, Vanguard, Airborne) sometime?
So many good memories in multiplayer...
good review, I enjoy Nightfire, my biggest gripe with the game is Bond's running speed is too slow for my taste, I had good memory's playing the MP with my friends, but when I played the MP recently, I got annoyed you couldn't run faster, it really destroys the experience because back then I wouldn't have taken notice, but after playing games like TimeSplitters, Quake and Unreal, its a game that could have at least benefited from a higher run speed
I'm probably just blinded by nostalgia because I love Nightfire on the PS2. Are you going to review Everything or Nothing and From Russia With Love?
Nope.
Or you opinion is just different from this reviewer's opinion.
Just because he made a video and all about it doesn't mean that his OPINION is the absolute truth.
Enjoy the games that you enjoy.
+Witcher well said
@@Gggmanlives Glad that aged poorly lol
Just from looking at the PC footage you have on display, I will say this: The PC version's gadgets look much better than those on GCN/PS2.
Does the PC version also include the Phoenix Samurai (the laser rifle)?
Nostalgia is strong with this game.
I still play the PC version every now and then. I like it a lot.
TimeSplitters used a spring aiming system which I loved. It adds a lot of response to the analog aiming system. Not as good as a mouse but pretty good nonetheless.
I miss this.... My childhoodddd 🥺... dbz on tv and this game on my pc
Will you be reviewing those other James bond Games that you've mentioned in this video?
Probably not.
Do you play your PS2 games on a flat screen with composite cables? That explains the input lag, use Game Mode in your display settings, turn off all extra rendering effects or get an HDMI converter. Or do both,
