Video Game Reviews of No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy In H.A.R.M.'s Way
Customer Review: What fun You'll Have
Summary: 5 Stars
What a wonderful time I had with this game. It was captivating while still being laugh out loud funny. Anyone who thinks they've seen it all will have to admit to being amazed and delighted by the scret of the Mime King. That one still gets me going...as does the ensuing chase.Sometimes all the reviews are true and in this case, they are.
Customer Review: If you've played NOLF1, stay away from this
Summary: 1 Stars
I recently finished the original NOLF and was very impressed with it. I read good reviews of NOLF2 (here, among other places) which seemed to imply it was more of and better than NOLF, and decided to purchase it. I was in for some serious disappointment. The game is very much a case of one step forward, five steps back.While the graphics of the game have certainly been improved, the gameplay and story are very poor compared to NOLF. The story is simply not as rich as the original game. There is very little background on the characters. In the original game, I came to empathize with some of the main villains. Nothing like that here. Further, the subtle wittiness of the original game has been discarded for a sledgehammer, in-your-face attempt at humor that I found very jarring. Finally, there was the indefinable "atmosphere" of the original story that I felt was missing in this one.
As for the gameplay mechanics, the skill system was a good innovation. It provides an additional incentive to find solutions to puzzles. Of course, since the game is linear, there is really no way *not* to get the skill points either. However, in contrast to this is the level design. Several levels in this game have respawning, infinitely many enemies. This makes them extremely annoying and very long to play. On the whole, I can only characterize the levels as "less annoying", "moderately annoying" and "extremely annoying". This does not make for a fun game.
In conclusion, I did not like this game. I should repeat here that I played the original NOLF before this game, and my view of this game is colored by that experience. I was expecting this game to be better than NOLF, but it was not. If you've played NOLF and are thinking of buying this game, my advice is: don't. On the other hand, if you've not played the original NOLF, I'd strongly recommend that you buy that game instead of this one.
Customer Review: never played it!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
i gave this game 1 star cause i have not played it yetCustomer Review: highly underrated
Summary: 5 Stars
great game, funny, witty, enticing plot that pulls you in. This game requires you to think, not just shoot. Like a good novel or movie, you'll certainly be entertained. it's awesome, you won't regret it.Customer Review: Female James Bond-style adventure
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a well-balanced fun action-adventure game. I love it! I wish they would make a James Bond game this fun. Goldeneye007 for the Nintendo64 is a bit like this one. I absolutely cannot get enough of either this game or that one. If you enjoy spy adventures, or even just 3d shooters, I would reccomend this.The only negative part is the LOAD screens. Those really suck.
