Summary
A port of the PC version, No One Lives Forever is basically a Bond-inspired, spy-storylined, first person shooter. Set in the 1960's, the game is based around a covert, anti-crime organisation, and places heavy emphasis on weapons, gadgets and world-threatening conspiracies.
The game itself places the player in control of Cate Archer, a fearless, flawless and fashionable secret agent. A newcomer to the government's anti-crime organisation, Cate drops straight in at the deep end with a first assignment that involves protecting humanity from madmen intent on taking over the world. From here the game progresses in the form of mission-based, story-driven chapters as Cate explores exotic locations, unravels mysteries and becomes entangled in a cleverly constructed conspiracy that threatens the world.
There are 60 levels in all, spread across 15 missions, with many dangerous weapons (including AK47s and M79 Grenade Launchers) at the player’s disposal. Players also get to ride motorcycles, snowmobiles, and fight head to head with some truly cunning characters.
With definite inspiration from the Modesty Blaise/Austin Powers-esque, camped-up, good-versus-evil shows of the sixties, No One Lives Forever basically takes the original FPS idea and adds an element of stealth, as well some offensively coloured furnishings! Wow!
