Players assume the role of Agent Archer, an operative working for a covert anticrime organization. Armed with an assortment of conventional and experimental weaponry and gadgets, players explore exotic locales and contend with deadly agents as they evade traps, unravel mysteries, and become entangled in a cleverly constructed conspiracy that threatens the entire free world.
Amazon.com Review
No One Lives Forever is an outstanding action-adventure game that combines the campy 1960s-style spy-spoof story lines of the Austin Powers movies with the best single-player gameplay we've experienced since Half-Life. Clever, funny, and stylish aren't words normally associated with first-person shooters, but NOLF is anything but normal. Assuming the role of sexy UNITY operative Cate Archer, you must complete 15 enormous and distinct missions to keep the world safe from H.A.R.M., a nefarious organization rife with colorful arch-villains. In true Hollywood style, the game is laced with cutscenes that set the stage for your missions and advance the plot by showing H.A.R.M. higher-ups boasting about their evil plans. The dialogue in both the cutscenes and the in-game action sequences is witty and genuinely funny, and the voice acting is excellent. We found ourselves hiding in dark corners just so we could eavesdrop on the bad guys. The comic antics end abruptly when enemies catch wind of your presence. Whether they stumble across a body you carelessly left in your wake, hear you creeping about, respond to a tripped alarm, or simply see you, these foes are all business. They will stalk you, duck behind cover, and call for reinforcements. All the action is straight from a spy movie: shoot a guy on a balcony, and he'll tumble over the rail and fall to the ground. Fire a gun underwater, and you'll see the spiral trail of the bullet. Most missions can be approached in a variety of ways, and although full-frontal assaults are possible, stealthy progression is usually better for your health. Being a superspy, you'll have plenty of gadgets to help you along the way, from a lock-pick barrette to a robotic poodle capable of turning even the most ferocious attack dog into man's best friend. Players who like to send a more direct message will enjoy playing with the game's full assortment of firearms, including Bond-worthy silencer pistols and briefcase rocket launchers. The quality of AI and inventiveness of the single-player missions are fortunate because the multiplayer component doesn't compare to Unreal Tournament or Counter-Strike. Regardless, No One Lives Forever should be on the short list of any fan of first-person shooters looking for an unbeatable solo experience. --T. Byrl Baker Pros: - Multiple approaches to nearly every level add to the replay value
- Loads of atmosphere
- Contains some of the most unorthodox and enjoyable missions we've ever played
- Amazing detail
- Smart and funny
Cons: - Not the prettiest 3-D engine on the market

No One Lives Forever (NOLF) is a zany spy spoof along the lines of Austin Powers, that strikes the right balance between action and humor. The game is rather dated now, but still worth playing. Like a lot of older first person shooters, it's very long and has a wide variety of tasks to accomplish, ranging from battling sharks to sneaking onboard a rocket to conducting an interview. (Yes, an interview.) The music is a send-up of the sixties without ripping off the "classic" tunes you hear every five minutes on the radio, and the villains are appropriately bad and stupid. One of the my favorite things to do is sneak up on the guards and listen to their conversations. Not only are they funny, but spot-on for the time period the game takes place in. Whoever produced this game did their research. Overall it's one of my top ten favorites, although it's a shame the sequel wasn't as successful.
 A lot of fun October 10, 2005

This game is well worth the purchase. It is a fun escape from your "normal" life, with a good mixture of stealth and shoot-'em up. The helicopter scene is good but a little to easy. The ending level is great fun.
If you don't own No One Lives Forever you're missing out! September 9, 2005

What are you doing? Stop reading and order both of the No One Lives Forever games before they're no longer in print. I'm serious. These games have a great story, great humor and awesome action.
You play a 60's era spy on the trail of evil masterminds. No One Lives Forever has it all... great music, graphics (for its time), cool weapons, stealth if you want and long hours of gaming goodness. You'll find yourself laughing at the story and dialogue and you'll catch the evildoers in some funny conversations.
This is one of the best FPS series ever made. To let it pass you buy is a crying shame. Buy both games today. They're cheap and they're well worth the bargain bin price.
If only EA... March 22, 2005
...could make Bond titles this good! Playing NOLF really puts an emphasis on the creative apathy at Electronic Arts. Monolith took a clean-slate approach to the superspy FPS genre and came up with a fun, hip, slick shooter that feels like a stealth title, adventure, and shooter wrapped up in one day-glo far-out package. It's long, deep, and constantly innovative. No level feels like the last, there is no "value padding."
Even while executing its maneuvers with grace and force, NOLF will draw smiles and an occasional chuckle with it's self-deprecating sense of farce. It's the rare game not afraid to laugh at itself! NOLF is thoroughly enjoyable and a must-play for all PC gamers.
*Download the V1.03 patch from the company website before play*
Pros:
-Innovative and USEFUL gadgetry
-Brilliantly colorful, detailed, and geographically correct environments
-Masterful use of shadow and lighting
-Variety of gameplay, never tedious
-Accurate, responsive control
-Engaging story and characters
-Humor ranging from Carrot-Top corny to occasionally hilarious (the German HARM agents debating morality killed me)
Cons;
-Slighty over-cooked dialogue (could have benefitted from editing)
-Poorly executed "stealth" missions (major inconsistencies in enemy and surveillance camera awareness, even with V 1.03 patch)
