Video Gaming News - November 2002
Redwood City, CA (November 19, 2002) - EA today announced that it has
released the new James Bond game, James Bond 007: NightFire. The game has
shipped for the PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox. The PC version will
ship the following week starting on Monday, November 25.
From EA:
NightFire offers a deep and rich gameplay experience that epitomizes the Bond
universe. The game features an original single player storyline - written
exclusively for NightFire and borrowing from the rich 007-legacy that spans 40
years. As Bond, players operate in the snow capped Austrian Alps and the far
reaches of outer space as well as underwater in the depths of the South Pacific
to defeat the evil criminal mastermind Rafael Drake, the popular head of a
supposedly benign environmental organization who secretly is bent on world
domination.
NightFire features a large variety of missions filled with furious action and
stealth, gorgeous women, exotic locales, and sophisticated spy-craft gadgetry
that Bond fans expect. Adding to the legacy is the invovlement of actor Pierce
Brosnan via cyberscan process for the James Bond character. The game also offers
a large cast of villains and allies, both new and familiar to the Bond universe.
Each of the platforms contains unique features catering to that platform's
audience. For example, the console versions feature exclusive driving levels -
developed by the award winning team behind the Need For Speed racing games -
that feature an array of 007-inspired exotic vehicles, including the Aston
Martin Vanquish™, equipped with weapons and gadgets. The PC game offers
exclusive single player levels for extended excitement and robust multi-player
support online.
James Bond 007: NightFire was produced by EA. UK based Eurocom Entertainment
Software and EA developed the console versions. Gearbox Software, based in
Dallas, TX, developed the PC version. EA will publish and distribute the game
worldwide under the EA GAMES™ brand. James Bond 007: NightFire will have a "T"
rating and MSRP of US$49.95. For more information on NightFire, visit EA's
