I can go upstairs, grab a Pepsi, fill it with ice, take the dog for a walk and I'll still be waiting for it to load. I wasn't around during the '60's, but if this is what their music sounded like, remind me to burn all my father's records :) Also, horribly long load times are also a problem. They'll talk about their band, all the way to their women :) This is a great addition. If you're stealthy enough, you can listen in and hear conversations that enemy sentries are saying. NOLF also has a fantastic sense of humour. All of this and more is surrounded by beautiful visuals and particle effects. Their mastery of the licensed LithTech engine is evident you'll skydive from a burning jetliner, fight feisty sharks and protect a near-deaf world leader from assassination. Lipstick explosives, lockpicks and welding tools hidden inside barettes, belt buckle zip-lines and robotic poodles are but a few of the zany gadgets you'll use in NOLF. The weapons are unique and original, and the gadgets that you will use in your missions are even more unique. NOLF's ingenuity is evident from the first level.
What seems at first as a dry storyline eventually unfolds into an epic saga. The box describes the plot better than I could: 'Assume the role of Cate Archer, a beautiful but deadly Operative working for UNITY - a super secret organization fighting to free the world from the clutches of H.A.R.M.' No One Lives Forever is a great FPS with many humorous quirks.
