![]() ![]() Carla the Jackal, an infamous terrorist who also killed Zoe, leads a raid on the embassy. She also has inside information to offer. Natalya Damescu, formerly in the employ of Malprave, now under protection at the British embassy in Romania. Analysis of the computer message from Romania mentions "Damaged Goods," believed to be a codename for Dr. After collecting evidence, he makes his escape from the facility. ![]() Bond takes the information from the computer and escapes.Īt Malprave Industries, Bond, posing as a journalist, sees that the CEO is a woman he met at the embassy, Adrian Malprave. After overcoming him, Bond finds a message from Bloch on Griffin's computer that mentions Malprave Industries, based in Switzerland. Bond investigates the embassy, finding Griffin dead, before a similar-looking man attacks him. One contains the blood of British diplomat Reginald Griffin, serving in Romania, who is obsessed with protecting a room, outside of his jurisdiction, in the embassy. ![]() The vials contain nine blood samples, eight of which contained blood of world leaders. Bond gives chase, stopping an armored van which contained the stolen vials. A limousine pulls up, as an assassin inside launches a rocket at the agents, killing Zoe, and steals the case. They then rendezvous with R, who provides Bond with a gadget-laden BMW Z8. The two steal a second case of vials from a nearby Identicon factory. Nigel Bloch, the head of Identicon, has his forces chase the agents through the streets of Hong Kong. ![]() After freeing Nightshade from a submarine set to launch, the pair flee the facility with the courier case. James Bond infiltrates the facility in an attempt to rescue her, as well as retrieve a suspicious courier case in the same building. Identicon, a botanical research firm, is a possible front for a weapons-smuggling ring. Does it make sense Bond can pull a wire out of his phone and use it to grapple to another ledge? No, but you’ll never get tired of using it.CIA agent Zoe Nightshade, a mole in the Hong Kong based Identicon Corporation, is discovered and captured. I’ll concede that, if you’ve only ever known Daniel Craig’s Bond, you might end up scratching your head. It’s pre- Casino Royale Bond, so silly gadgets and so forth are very much in evidence. But when you’re trying to drive over solid ice, break into an office building, or infiltrate a party, you’ll be too on edge to pore over the plot anyway. I’m not going to veer into spoiler territory, but it just manages to avoid feeling like a “best of” Bond. Given that Nightfire doesn’t have a movie to crib from, writers Paul De Meo and Danny Bilson had to craft their own story. But otherwise, the home console versions of Nightfire are just fantastic. I say “nearly” because, while your character has Pierce Brosnan’s face, that’s definitely not his voice. It’s a crying shame, because the PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox versions nail nearly everything that makes a good Bond game. The EA game made it ( albeit poorly) onto Xbox 360’s backwards-compatibility roster way back when, but when Xbox One’s backwards-compatibility program kicked into gear, it didn’t get so much as a look in. But 2002’s James Bond 007: Nightfire is every bit as deserving of a revival. GoldenEye 007 is the undisputed darling of Bond games, based on the 1995 Pierce Brosnan movie. Not just because it’s a great Bond game, but its return gives me hope that another Bond game will have the chance to live again. I’m glad GoldenEye 007 is coming back, even if it’s not the all-but-complete unreleased remaster from 2008 that leaked earlier this year. ![]()
