To further tarnish the quality of the single player mode we see a general lacking of quality enemy A.I. This came as quite a surprise to me, as I had generally expected better considering the amount of variation found in many previous Bond games. On top of that, a lot of these missions are practically the same in style despite on or two stealth only missions. Being that there are only 9 missions means that finishing this game isn't the lengthy challenge one would expect from a good first person shooter.
Single player was the mode I was personally looking forward to the most (being a dialup sufferer) however it generally came off a little disappointing. The player is given the choice of the usual single player or multiplayer modes. One thing that does become apparent however is the superb graphics considering the engine being used, which is discussed in greater detail later. Sticking to what works is a great policy to use and it has done reasonably well here for 007: Nightfire. In-game, Nightfire plays just like every other first person shooter, nothing really strikes out as unique but that isn't necessarily a problem.

Being based on the extremely aging Half-Life engine means Gearbox Software had two scenarios on their hands - either leave Nightfire as an aging technological blunder or modify the engine like nuts, and it looks like they have implemented the later to great detail.
Nevertheless, this is a Bond game after all so doing the impossible is somewhat of an expected requirement, and usually 'things' seem to fall into place for Bond during the heat of action.Īfter all the cliches are out of the way, 007: Nightfire is actually quite an impressive technical master piece. Of the two artists, Joss Stone, like Mýa in Everything Or Nothing, is featured in the game as a major character.The usual pre-mission briefing (which usually aren't so brief) leads Bond into his mission, some of which seem overwhelmingly difficult when described in detail. Joss Stone and Dave Stewart are hired to write and perform a song for Activision's one and only original Bond experience.

Even though three versions of the song are given existences (Original, Jazz, Techno Remix), only the one played during the main title sequence is given the option to be ranked.Ĥ- When Nobody Loves You by Kerli in Quantum of Solace (2008):Īctivision's video game adaptation of the 22nd official film in the Bond series happens not to feature the song played throughout the motion picture, but rather uses an original song which also includes pieces within from "The James Bond Theme".ĥ- GoldenEye by Nicole Scherzinger in GoldenEye (2010):Īn official cover version of the Tina Turner song is brought into performance by a former member of The Pussycat Dolls, Nicole Scherzinger, with the music originally written by Bono and The Edge, and an arranged for the video game remake by Bond films composer David Arnold.Ħ- I'll Take It All by Joss Stone and Dave Stewart in Blood Stone (2010): The first song in the series to be written specifically for the video game of the same name which features an A-List artist in performance of the song, who also is featured as a character in the entry. However, the game's song does have a different conducting from the original version.ģ- Everything Or Nothing by Mýa in Everything Or Nothing (2004): While not written especially for the video game, the developers chose to use Australian artist, Esthero's song for the video game, which would serve as the main title sequence song during the opening footage. Incidentally, while not confirmed, a song labeled as "Tomorrow Never Dies II" in the game's opening credits sequence is given a credit, which might be an alternate name for "Letter To Paris" itself.Ģ- Nearly Civilized by Esthero in Nightfire (2002): While not directly in the video game as intended, and Sheryl Crow's song was used instead, the original soundtrack album of the video game features this very song written by Tommy Tallarico, who composed the score for the video game, and vocals provided by Elaine Paiva. So, here is the list.ġ- Letter To Paris by Elaine Paiva and Tommy Tallarico in Tomorrow Never Dies (1999): The trend to insert original songs into the Bond video games to make them look like movies has been started by Electronic Arts as you know. or to put it mildly from the most to least favourite. Now, here is a thread dedicated to the original songs provided in the world of 007 Gaming, and members, who really are into the Bond video games are invited by a fellow member in the community to rank the songs from best to worst.
