A hero lives forever!!!
but with NOLF is different!!!
NOLF is special, it has something all other FPS doesnt have!
NOLF is original, groovy, colorful, stylish, funny!!! Different from all FPS before and after NOLF!
The graphics are dated, its a 2000 release, but the game holds well by today standarts thanks to its amazing art direction, something most FPS developers seem to be not worried these days. You gonna be impressed by the ammount of detail every level has, theyre huge and varied, the environments goes from Morrocos to a Space Sattion, from Sunken Ship to an Airplane, all with that 60's feeling, its gorgeous!!
All this prevents the game falling into boredom since every chapter differs so much from each other in design, just fantastic!
The sound is the best you can have in terms of sound effects, music and specialy, voice acting!!! The voice acting is superb, the voices fits very well to the characters, specially Cate. She really sounds like a british!! The funny conversations during the game are another positive aspect of this game, you can pretty much sneaky into corners and listen to enemies talking to each other about relationships and other things that can distract you!
In the sneaky parts the sound plays slow and if you get caught, music plays faster or change, giving it a perfect feeling on the situation!
Gameplay is one of the best aspects of NOLF. The game plays exactly like any other shooter, but you have a some spy gadgets to use and not being noticed by enemies, as to help your progress during missions. The controls are easy to learn and answer well... the levels differs basically from sneaky, action and driving.
Enemy AI is also great, they can hear sounds, investigate, activate alarms, etc..
For last, NOLF has a huge replay value, over 20 hours of fun and 40 levels, but once you finish this game, you will find yourself playing it again over and over for best results and to revive one of greatest adventures ever created in a game!!!
If you missed this game in the past, try play it now, it worths every minute spent with it...from the 60's feeling, to the awesome characters and story, the superb sound and art direction, and a lot of humour, NOLF is one of the best experience ever you can have in a game, full of great moments that will make you remember Cate forever!!!
NOLF maybe old, but like wine, just gets better with time!!!! (specially considering the ammount of repetitive FPS's in the market, using the same world war theme over and over and over... NOLF is a true gem)
