with villains and allies, both new and familiar; three
well-balanced gameplay style experiences for the single player

experienced through the eyes of Bond. Agent Under Fire will
utilise next-generation console technology to help bring life
full environmental physics and detailed 3-D environments, such as
a massive deep-sea oil rig set atop a secret underwater base.
Includes single and multiplayer modes (support for up to four
players).
.co.uk Review
-------------
Who'd have thought that the exploits of a secret agent could be
so underwhelming? Agent Under Fire isn't exactly boring--in fact,
the first time you play you're sure to be impressed by the suave
looks and immaculate presentation. But it soon becomes clear that
this is no sophisticated vintage Bond homage; it's a fleetingly
entertaining blast that just happens to feature a famous British
secret agent. Which isn't to say that there aren't enjoyable
elements here. There're a couple of Crazy Taxi (
/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005AM6T/${0} )-influenced levels that work
well, as well as some mildly diverting "on-rails" shooter stages.
At heart, though, like N64 masterpiece GoldenEye, this is a
first-person shooter and one that suffers badly in comparison
with that game.
There are clever gadgets to amuse yourself with, 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, though, is the
"intelligence" of the enemies. These are the dumbest bad guys
you'll ever encounter in a video game. Coupled with the unerring
accuracy of your auto , you could complete much of the game
blindfolded. Consequently, it's difficult to feel much
satisfaction, even upon saving the world. The developers have at
least made an effort with different styles of play and a decent
multiplayer mode, but Agent Under Fire is (at best) a good-ish
game in a genre full of great alternatives. Be careful with your
next Bond license, Mr EA--it may be your last. --Steve Colton
