James Bond 007 in…
Agent Under Fire
Due Fall 2001 for PS2.
As I was walking through the immense EA booth at this year’s E3 I caught James Bond 007 in…Agent Under Fire out of the corner of my eye. I was hooked. I was drawn in not by the 007 franchise, but by the killer action happening on the screen. As I picked up the controller I was immediately thrown into the hottest car chase I’ve ever had the pleasure to play. I wasn’t driving, but it was up to me, my machine gun, and my rocket launcher to fend off the bad guys and secure my escape. I launched rockets into the pursuing cars causing massive carnage and giant explosions on the streets. The chase met it’s climax at a fireworks factory adding more fuel to the explosive frenzy. After that five minutes of game play I was truly hooked, but it is just the tip of the iceberg. Agent Under Fire includes more than 10 exotic locations and promises a well-balanced mix of furious action and cunning stealth. Add to that a multi-player mode, more diving levels, lots of 007 spy gadgets, tons of innovative missions, and you’ve got a hell of a game on your hands. If you want lots of action Agent Under Fire is your game, the fact that it’s a Bond game just makes it cooler.
