Game Description

Whod have thought that the exploits of a secret agent could be so underwhelming 007: Agent Under Fire isnt exactly boring--in fact, the first time you play youre sure to be impressed by the suave looks and immaculate presentation.

But it soon becomes clear that this is no sophisticated vintage Bond homage. Its merely a fleetingly entertaining blast that just happens to feature some British spy dude. That isnt to say that there arent enjoyable elements here. There are a couple of Crazy-Taxi-influenced levels that work well, as well as some mildly diverting on-rails shooter stages. At heart, though, like the N64 masterpiece GoldenEye, this is a first-person shooter, and one that suffers badly in comparison.

The game features some clever gadgets, as well as frequent set pieces in the form of Bond moves that will delight the casual fan. But more experienced players will find the lack of depth here distressing. The real problem is the intelligence of the enemies. These are the dumbest bad guys youll ever encounter in a video game. Coupled with the unerring accuracy of your auto aim, you could complete much of the game blindfolded.

Consequently, its difficult to feel much satisfaction, even upon saving the world. The developers have at least made an effort by providing different styles of play and a decent multiplayer mode, but 007: Agent Under Fire is (at best) an adequate game in a genre full of great alternatives. Be careful with your next Bond license, Mr. EA--it may be your last. --Steve Colton.
