No One Lives Forever 2

No One Lives Forever 2(NOLF2) is the second installment, and hopefully not final, in the great series by Monolith. In NOLF2 you play as Cate Archer, a female British operative in the 1960's. Yes, I know, Cate is Scottish, but that's beside the point. This game blends great gameplay, good story, awesome visuals and campy humor to make a most excellent game. In NOLF2, there is a newly introduced stats system to help you play to your style, as this game accomodates practically any gaming style you use in a FPS game. You can go stealth, rambo, casual, however else you would like. Many times throughout the game, you get to eavesdrop on enemy conversations. Of course, the vast majority of them are simply smalltalk between coworkers, providing for a funny, refreshing moment that shows you that evil corporations are filled with normal people just like you and me. If that's simply something you don't go for, well..you can always bust in and mow 'em down. I will admit, this game is shockingly short, especially when compared to its predecessor, but the gameplay is great regardless of the length. There are many great gadgets to use, a particular favorite of mine would be the banana. With the banana, while not providing any nourishment to Cate(as you may expect it to), you can slip up your enemies by placing the peel on the floor..just be careful not to slip on it yourself. Another great thing about NOLF2 is the Lithtech Jupiter engine it is built on. The engine is a huge improvement over the fairly nice version used in the original NOLF. The Jupiter engine provides stunning DirectX8 visuals and scales well to low end systems. All in all, one fine package. I highly, highly recommend this game to practically everyone because it is just that good.
