    EA has turned in a shockingly playable Bond game that looks as good as it plays – and that is damn fine.
  2. Hot Games

    Part "Mission: Impossible," part "Golden Eye," and all fun. But poor controls hamper the fun and put a dull sheen on the otherwise glossy secret agent.
  3. GameZone

    The mission settings are remarkable though, as are the overall graphics and sound in the game, which almost make up for the somewhat cheesy objectives.
  4. Cloudchaser
    70
    Great graphics, a solid story, good sound effects and a slick multiplayer mode are undermined by a derivative, unispired and boring first player experience.
  5. GamePro
    70
    The action has a "vanilla" feel. Although the missions are engaging and fairly exciting, you've played ones just like them dozens of times before, and the hefty helping of silly, ornate gadgets and Bond-girl quips is cumbersome.
  6. Cinescape

    Not great, but good with an imaginative storyline, spectacular graphics and a soundtrack that keeps you excited throughout the levels.

    It’s a solid game from a technical standpoint, but extraordinarily bland from a gameplay perspective. [Jan 2002, p.208]

    This game gets a 10 from me, not because of the game, but because of the exploit with it that allows you to install Free McBoot on your PS2This game gets a 10 from me, not because of the game, but because of the exploit with it that allows you to install Free McBoot on your PS2 and unlock the full potential of your console. I rented it and took it back the same day just because I needed a copy to perform the exploit, so thank you 007 Agent Under Fire, not for any game play experience, but for the potential to do something great for my Playstation 2!… Expand

Along with first-personThe first Bond game for PS2 is nowhere as good as "Goldeneye". But it's a lot better than "Tomorrow Never Dies". Along with first-person shooting, there are rail segments, driving levels and stealth moments. You can also discover hidden rooms, trigger "Bond" moments and earn unlockable content. Sadly, the weird control layout doesn't feel very intuitive. But if you loved "Timesplitters", then you will probably like this. I would rate "Agent" with a 7.3 out of 10.… Expand
