While it might not be an actual film, Electronic Arts have certainly gone to great lengths to portray Agent Under Fire as an authentic and believable 007 experience.The story itself revolves around Bond's mission to foil the plans of terrorist leader, Malprave. Admittedly they could have chosen a much more menacing or cooler sounding name, but it doesn't matter what your name is when you're developing an army of deadly clones to conquer the world with. Like the films the action covers the globe, from Hungary to China, and the story unfolds via multiple cut-scenes and the mission accompanying briefings. It isn't what the majority of people might call Oscar-winning material,but it's definitely done with plenty of Bond style, with gorgeous ladies, Q's numerous gadgets and many enemies intent on stopping you.But what sets this apart from the previous Bond shooters like The World Is Not Enough or even Rare's masterpiece Goldeneye is the introduction of missions where James finally gets to drive his most famous cars, and even stages where Bond shoots from moving vehicles. I expected these levels to feel like a last-minute rush, but it's actually done with excellent control and handling. Of course, forgetting Bond's beloved Aston Martin DB7 and BMW Z8 wouldn't make the driving sections as enjoyable. Four of the 12 stages are driving orientated, so the remaining 8 can be nothing else but traditional first person perspective challenges.Like other Bond games, players are presented with a set of objectives that must be accomplished in order to successfully complete the mission. At the end of the day it all follows the Bond formula. Photograph blueprints, rescue hostages, shoot evil people and other types of 00 agent shenanigans. It's not boring, but you can tell a collection of borrowed Bond game ideas when you see one. The majority of players shouldn't find the missions too tough, as the game constantly prompts you with cut scenes that give subtle, yet in your face hints about what task is required of you next. Casual gamers will no doubt appreciate a little support but others may see this step-by-step instruction as just plain annoying.The gadgets play an important role too. The Q-Claw is essentially The Legend of Zelda's hookshot as it propels Bond toward whatever object it can attach itself to, whereas the more familiar Q Laser melts metal obstacles, handy for breaking padlocks on doors with something behind them that you desperately need. There are plenty of other gadgets to use in the game but a let down is a disappointing system to select them with. Both the gadgets and weapons are changed by the D-Pad and the problem is caused by the time delay between selecting your chosen item and waiting for it to appear in James's hand. This is a serious disadvantage when Bond is left to dodge an onslaught of bullets while he fusses around to find the required item.Other than that, the control system itself does work well. The left analogue stick moves Bond while the right strafes and aims weapons and surprisingly enough; I found using two analogue sticks at once is easier done than said. I was pleased to discover there are 12 multiplayer arenas with five different gamplay modes, which makes a change from the great one-player games with mediocre multiplayer options. Deathmatches, protect the flag and newer ideas like Anti-Terrorist Training (challenging players to defuse bombs) are included. But a GameCube multiplayer exclusive is the introduction of computer Bots, which act as respectable substitutes for your lack of at least 3 friends.Overall, Agent Under Fire is a perfectly good Bond game. The above average graphics capture the essence of Bond's driving, shooting and rescuing fine damsels in distress world, while the mix of 3 different types of gameplay keep the game exciting and fresh. But experienced gamers will fly through the 12 missions with ease and the shooting elements concentrate too much on blasting everything in sight and little on stealth. You may argue that 4 stars seems slightly too much for a game with an easy single player mode, yet 3 sounds too harsh for a game that stays so true to the Bond licence. But even with 4 stars, the fact remains that despite EA's efforts, it doesn't come close to Rare's Goldeneye.Worth getting, but if you were expecting an N64 beater, now is a good time to stop.

This game is excellent straight from the 1st level, it gives you a good idea of what is yet to come, you get to use a few of the gadgets so you get used to the controls with no hasstle, there arnt a super range of guns but there are enough to keep most happy, my favourite is the frinesi shot gun blow people away literally, watch them fly into the air and 10ft back. Your foe have good texture, their faces are good in shape and their bodies dont look awkward as with goldeneye, aaaaahhhhh goldeneye the classic, tens of weapons and realistic sounds but what about soldiers arms and guns coming through doors? do they not have the intelligence to open it and pump you full of lead?NO.Those days are over with the first bond shoot em up on the cube,nothing goes wrong the men have intelligence they open doors, they duck down if your spraying bullets at them, its great fun!The only bad things are, the fact that you can see the bullets come from the gun, wasnt EA happy with a few flames ejected from the barrel of the gun? this is annoying because you see the man, you shoot, you see the big yellow flash of the bullet, the man goes down before it reaches him:Oo its a bit strange.Another thing is the fact that this game is so easy to complete, the levels are short and there isnt much of a challenge, on top of that there are only 12 of them not like over 20 on golden eye.Its a bloody good job that the replayabilty of this game is phenominal, level 3 for instance, if you buy this game try spinning the z8 round and making doughnuts on level 3.My advice to you is to get this game the playability is good and car levels rock!

I go this game in June 2002, i comleted the first four missions within half an hour. Then i got stuck for a long time, and the game just sat on my shelf gathering dust, in late July i played it again and to my suprise complete missions 5,6,7,8 and 9.Unlike the other Bond games eg Goldeneye. Agent under fire has many touching which make it all the more challenging to play. For instance if you shoot a guard in the leg, he will carry on shooting at you for longer that if you hit him in the chest, before he dies, shooting him in the head is an instant kill.Q-gadgets like the Q-claw and Q-booster, this makes the game much more like the classic films. The multiplayer aspect of the game can become ather limited,as the levels are quite small, and you are only allowed a maximum of four people playing including the CPU characters. The controls are suposed to be rather difficult to master, i found them very easy to use very quickly.Overall you must keep on trying with this game, the missions get much better and more fun as you progress.

First of all the game itself is good, not better than goldeneye. If you had both together on the same system Goldeneye would be the secret agent. the main problem with Agent under fire is the controls.I found it to be akward and figity trying to aim,move duck and shoot and the same time. Pity, the game itself has good visuals and some nice touches, but it lets itself down with the control of James Bond. A pity, in my opinion save up for resident evil or hire this game out.

This is a good game but I'm not going to go crazy over it becasue it isn't That great. Still ,I would say that it is a worthwhile buy and you can get a good amount of enjoyment out of it.The only problem was that there wasn't many controller settings so i couldn't change them.
