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

    Graphically, Agent Under Fire is amazing, leaving similar titles like "Red Faction" and "TimeSplitters" in the dust. [Jan 2002, p.77]

    [Games Radar Rating = Hit] Although it isn't as revolutionary as GoldenEye once was, the deft changes of pace mean it's undoubtedly the most Bond-like game ever. It might not leave you shaken, but it's certainly stirring.

    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.

    The only really fundamental issue with the game is its length. [Jan 2002, p.128]

    This game smokes from start to much-too-abrupt ending. [Feb 2002, p.60]

    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.

    Strangely good. Despite the loathing that the single-player experience drudges up in me, the driving levels are particularly satisfying, and the rail-based shooter levels add a nice bit of depth, too.

    Some enjoyable driving missions, but a whole lot of throw away first-person sections, leaves me with a game for which I'm shaken, not stirred.

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.… Full Review »

    it's far from perfect but I found it to be a very solid game, even if the later entries out are much better.
