'''''James Bond 007: Nightfire''''' is a [[First-Person Shooter]] released in 2002, featuring the [[Not Quite Starring|likeness]] of Pierce Brosnan as secret agent [[James Bond]] in an original storyline.
 
The plot of the game revolves around an undercover investigation into philanthropist Raphael Drake, whose organisationorganization, Phoenix, works tirelessly to decommission old Nuclear reactors and missiles.
 
Or do they?
Line 10:
It soon becomes apparent that Phoenix’s intentions are less than scrupulous, sending Bond to Austria, Japan and an orbiting missile platform to stop Drake’s fiendish plot.
 
''Nightfire'' was James Bond's second EA FPS outing after 2001's Agent Under Fire, which it is a sequel to (the CIA agent Zoe Nightshade appears in 2001both). It was very well-received overall, with praise being given to the well-written storyline, impressive graphics and fun multiplayermulti-player modes. However, it still fell in the shadow of its predecessor, ''[[GoldenGoldenEye Eye007 (1997 (Videovideo Gamegame)|GoldenEye]]'', despite its attempts to move away by introducing a more engaging, in-depth plot.
 
''Nightfire'' was released on [[PSPlayStation 2]], Gamecube, Xbox, Gameboy Advance, PC and Mac. However, there were numerous differences between the PC, console and consoleGBA versions of the game inare termsall ofcompletely bothdifferent gameplayworks andthat follow roughly the same storylineplot.▼

{{tropelist}}
* [[AKA -47]]: The Wolfram PP7/P2K (Walther PPK/P99) and the Raptor Magnum (Desert Eagle), among others. This was the final Bond game to apply this to Walther products.
* [[As Long as It Sounds Foreign]]: Guards at Drake's Austrian castle will repeatedly shout "Einzelfeuer!", German for "semi-auto". Appropriate to yell at allies in a firefight the first few times but quickly becomes silly as that's practically their entire vocabulary, plus enemy guards will still use full-auto or burst settings while solo guards still yell it.
* [[Back Tracking]]: The mission ''Phoenix Fire'' sees you make your way through the office building you previously infiltrated in ''Night Shift''; only with more armed guards and an attack helicopter.
* [[Bond One-Liner]]: Numerous times.
Line 27 ⟶ 29:
* [[Disney Villain Death]]: The fate of {{spoiler|Dominique.}}
* [[Double Entendre]]: This ''is'' a Bond game.
{{quote| '''Bond:''' Anything can be [[Parental Bonus|penetrated]] given the [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|proper tool.]]}}

{{quote| '''Rook:''' But if Bond ''does'' reach the facility, I'll be sure to {{spoiler|thank him for the “makeover” he gave me.}}}}
* [[The Guards Must Be Crazy]]: The civilian night-guards encountered during ''Night Shift'' will, upon spotting an intruder, stand perfectly still and lock eyes with the intruder for a few seconds, before running for an alarm.
* [[Instant Sedation]]: The tranquillizer gun used in ''Night Shift''.
* [[The Mole]]: {{spoiler|Mayhew's Bodyguard, Kiko.}}▼
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Numerous:
** The Aston Martin [[The Spy Who Loved Me (Film)|transforming into a submarine]] during the ''Deep Descent'' mission.
*** On the same mission, the logo of [[Agent Under Fire|Malprave Industries]] is highly visible on the sunken ship.
** The final mission, ''Equinox'', consists of a [[Moonraker (Film)|laser battle on an orbiting missile platform.]]
** MultiplayerMulti-player maps include [[The Spy Who Loved Me (Film)|Atlantis]] and [[Goldfinger (Film)|Fort Knox]].

** The Phoenix building also has ceiling mounted turrets that deploy and fire at Bond if he is detected by the security cameras.

* [[Stealth -Based Mission]]: The mission ''Night Shift''.
* [[Villain Withwith Good Publicity]]: Raphael Drake is the leader of an organisationorganization that makes disused nuclear reactors and arsenals safe and founder of a World Refugee fund: He uses the nuclear weaponry he “disarms” as part of a grand plot to take over the world.▼
▲* [[The Mole]]: {{spoiler|Mayhew's Bodyguard, Kiko.}}
