Manufacturer's Description
No One Lives Forever is a story-driven first-person adventure delivering over-the-top action, tense subterfuge, outrageous villains and wry humour in the tradition of the great 1960's spy films and TV shows. Players assume the role of Agent Archer, an operative working for a covert anti-crime organization. Armed with an assortment of conventional and experimental weaponry and gadgets, players explore exotic locales and contend with deadly agents as they evade traps, unravel mysteries and become entangled in a cleverly constructed conspiracy that threatens the entire free world.

Ace little game
This great little game is set in the 60s and boy does it know it. The player takes the role of Cate Archer, sent to investigate a mysterious and harmful organisation called HARM. HA HA HARM!! The best things about the game are the level design and sheer exuberance of the whole project. Admittedly the AI isn't very well thought through, especially in enclosed situations, and the cutscenes are occasionally overlong and unskippable with grating dialogue and naff English accents. But on the most part the game works, and when it does it's just fantastic - the plane being ripped in half and the sinking ship rate alongside Half-Life in terms of decent, surprising set-pieces. The sound design is also incredible, a subtler element admittedly but none the less important to the game's overall environment.

Overall, it's a game that works because it knows what it is and doesn't shy away from fun. And now it's out for less than a fiver you'd be stupid not to buy this

5/5
Come on guys, my fellow reviewers have praised this game but only gone to 4/5. I say it is definitely 100% - and I don't give many 5/5 reviews!
This was so much fun, from the cheesiness of the characters to the loudness of the graphics to the real skill needed to solve some of the puzzles (nothing too difficult, you just need to look around for the answers!). Great fun, genuine adventure that should please shooter fans - and guys, don't be put off by being a girl she is the business!

Dont' believe the hype
What a anti-climax!!! After reading the reviews I couldn't wait to get my mits on this. Expecting a game of the Deus ex/halo/timesplitters/half life etc etc standard i was left with a bad taste in my mouth. This game is completely easy most of the time with the 'near end of level' hard bit that you have to keep going back to. It has terrible AI (you can shoot someone then hide around a corner for a few seconds and they have forgotten about you and will be pacing up and down again). If you liked the very first MOH then buy this, if you like boring running in to a room with a mchine gun and wasting everyone whilst taking 10 shots yourself then finding a health/shield pack; then buy this. Don't buy this if you enjoy intelligent shooters which you can't wait to get home and have a go on. Even Mace Griffin and Red Faction grind this offering into the dust. Game of the year??? Says who?
