#73 James Bond 007: Nightfire (Gamecube, 2002)


Goldeneye this, Goldeneye that, yada yada yada. Nightfire was THE James Bond experience, and I will hear nothing to the contrary. I can only faintly remember the campaign, and it probably was the best too, but that's not why I love it. It has one of my favorite local split-screen multiplayers.

I also say that from a favorable position because I primarily chose Oddjob, and in addition to his size advantage, you got to use his instant-kill rimmed hat. Man was I an asshole to my friends often choosing a broken character. Aside from that though, multiplayer was highly customizable for game, weapon, and AI bot settings. I have always been a fan of live systems in a multiplayer setting, and this might have be my favorite in a traditional multiplayer game. It is such a gratifying feeling than when you screen-look and see the last opponent alive is hiding away next to a rock or lodge in Skyrail when you bust out the guided missile launcher and watch as they futilely try to outmaneuver the final nail in their coffin.

Nightfire was weird that the versions had all sorts of differences in multiplayer options. PC had the most bots and maps but wasn't optimized properly or something because it's a technical mess. PS2 had fewer customization options, including allowing just a handful of bots. Xbox and Gamecube got the best of both worlds, so I'm glad I ended up buying one of the versions that allowed me to have the fond memories that I ended up with.
