They should remake these games exactly the same with updated graphics and a whole new engine. Im sure it would be game of the year if not contenders for sure

When I was young this game was amazing. Going back to play in 2024 the game has aged so poorly I'm genuinely shocked. The humor and voice acting are fine. Don't care about old graphics either. The combat is pretty bad by today's standards. How times have changed.

Great game. It was so much fun. Even after all these years I can still remember how much I enjoyed playing it.

One of the best games I have ever played, very well done in many aspects tho

Big Daddy in 2002, more trash, more fun, better at all except for ****. Gameplay: combat mechanics [bad scripts, AFPS in campaign] 8/10 stealth [bad scripts] 8/10 atmosphere: sjw-absurd Gameplay as RPG & ****: 6/10 Story 6/10 Graphics 10/10 Sounds & music 8/10 . The sequel is so good you don't need the original, but there are a lot more locations in the original

most funny game I ever played very funny game if I need to compare among all other games by the way.

Продолжение лучшего шутера своего времени. Сейчас таких игр нет. 10/10 все в лучшем виде, сюжет и геймплей, которому нет равных!

C'est très joli pour un jeu de 2002 (DX8, ça ne nous rajeunit pas...) sans doute parce que c'est assez lisse et aussi bien sûr parce que Monolith en a toujours connu un rayon, techniquement parlant, même si à l'époque, ça tournait plutôt comme une patate... mais avec une carte graphique relativement moderne, c''est une vraie promenade de santé à 60 im/s... en 4/3 seulement (1600x1200) et à condition de le lancer en mode compatibilité XP SP3 (sous Win7-64 en tout cas). Hélas, c'est bien la seule qualité qu'on pourra trouver à ce jeu... à part la bonne VF certes mais qui sert alors de confiture à ce cochon de jeu très con et très bête qui reproduit la ringardise des pires nanars d'espionnage des années 60. C'est donc particulièrement débile et l'humour idiot participe activement à la débilité de tous les instants de ce FPS à l'ambiance ringarde. En l'absence de carte, on erre à suivre la croix dans des niveaux étriqués qui soûlent rapidement ; l'infiltration (si l'on peut dire) est inexploitable et aussi stupide que le reste du jeu, lequel est en vérité un FPS raté... en plus d'être imbécile. On s'ennuie donc si vite qu'on passe au plan B : la désinstallation de ce jeu à la con et la reconversion des deux compact discs en freesbees (le clébard tente d'aller les chercher, les renifle, sent que c'est de la merde et en profite pour marquer son territoire dessus). Bon chien !

What can I write here a very original game, a lot of sneaking mechanics similar to thief 1, 2 plus golden eye

Кейт Арчер снова в деле. Еще больше шпионских гаджетов, еще более изобретательный геймплей и графика.

In the first game the missions were very different and funny. In addition I liked the 60s design. Now in the 2nd game such things are gone: the missions are all the same and there is no humour. The game is more focused on action and in my view it lacks variety. The story is not so interesting any more, in the 1st game the dialogues were more realistic. The graphics is great, even today. If you have problems with the mouse acceleration, install mouse drivers and lower dpi. It is a bug with the engine, that is great beside of that.

This is one of my favorite old school single player shooters of all time. Great graphics for it's time that hold up surprisingly well even today. Funny characters. Upgradable/customizable main character. I never laughed so much in a PC game. Loved the stealth mechanic and the crossbow! I keep looking back to see if someone will update the graphics and re-release this one. Hope so! If you haven't played it look for a bargain bin deal somewhere and pick it up. Every shooter fan should play this!

One of my favourite FPS games on PC. Its better than most of the James Bond games. The story is a perfect blend of Bond and the Austin Powers series. I love the fact, that the creators decided to go for tongue in cheek approach. The gameplay itself is very enjoyable, allowing the player to be creative. The game is an engaging, adrenaline filled experience with some puzzles along the way.

It baffles me to this day why this game is lauded so immensely , I'm on my second play-through and all I can say is it's a bitter disappointment, especially after the flawlessness of the first one. That one was a charming caper that had all the elements of a 60's spy movie: it had international intrigue, unforgettable characters, and witty humor. Elements that could have rivaled any Bond movie of it's day, albeit with a slightly feminine touch. The second iteration just doesn't have the same feel, Cate is virtually unrecognizable and the script is lacking. There is hardly any attempt at the dry-wit comedy of the first one (Remember the criminal convos - especially the self psycho-analysis by one of the henchmen as to why he's a criminal , lol) and it quite literally never picks **** falls flat on it's face without even 'hitting it's target'. Cate has lost all her charm and 'street smarts', and can hardly put a sentence together. It's like the developers decided to dumb down the character for reasons I can only guess at (maybe to appeal to a younger audience?) and instead of the spy diva that enchanted our CRT monitors , and was just so memorable and engaging, we are instead left with a bimbo with a no nonsense attitude and a desire to get the job done ....a one-trick pony. The same goes for Bruno, Mr.Jones and Armstrong....either the scriptwriters got lazy, or they decided to focus on different aspects of the game.... The game itself looks great , even to this day, especially with the widescreen patch. Textures are hi res and I'm really surprised at how well it's held up. The level design is somewhat lackluster though, with levels feeling confined and not as open-world as the first iteration. Santa's workshop has been plucked out completely, so you don't get to test the nifty gadgets before embarking on a mission. You also don't get to customize your weapon arsenal before loading a mission , but design choices have always been perplexing to me. Lastly, I'll quote another review that kind of hit the nail on the head: No one lives forever "expanded the narrative capacity of the medium, the sequel is just a game". The first script would have given Ian Fleming a run for his money... unfortunately NOLF 2 was a step in the wrong direction, it failed to live up to the high lofty standards set by the first and will forever go down in my personal recollection as one of the worst sequels in the history of PC gaming.

TomAto: I`ll tell you what rotting our youth minds: the fuc*ing oversexualized society, multiculturalism, systematic destruction of our freedom and democracy, high society **** and fanatics who telling us how we are wrong. I tell something. There is no power as powerful as power of the light side of the force! this game is one product of that power!! the creation. our dreams our souls. our culture is our soul. who stand against that? This game lose nothing of quality and specific charm after years. It`s very depended on age trends but is still original. And these two things make game so great, special and still like blockbuster experience.

Maybe the most underrated game of all time. Absolutely sublime from start to finish. Funny while remaining serious. Think I'll reinstall. One of the greatest examples of all time of substance over style. And its got more style and surprises than a supermodel's birthday cake. Whatever that meant, if you are even moderately interested in action/stealth and love games that push beyond the routine, buy this now.

One of the funniest game ever played... But there is too many bugs in gameplay and graphics is too poor let's hope there will be NOLF 3 in future with good graphics and gameplay

Why don't they make first person shooters with this much personality anymore? It's ten years after it's release and I enjoy this more than any shooter from the last few years. I tend to ignore most FPS games now, expecting them to be shallow, repetitive and lacking any real character, but not NOLF2. It's got more personality and more of an enjoyment factor than all of the CoD (or whatever other FPS games are popular nowadays) wrapped into one.

A truly masterpiece! Better than the first game. Play it!

I still recall this as one of the best FPS I've ever played. I would love to see this IP revisited with a new game. Great storyline, stealth modes and spy gadgets. It was as close as you can get to being in a 60's spy movie.
