The Operative: No One Lives Forever review

Set in the swinging 60's, but released in 2000, No One Lives Forever breathed new life into the 1st-person shooter genre. You play as Cate Archer, former cat-burglar turned secret agent. A terrorist organisation known as H.A.R.M. is out for world domination. Cate's bosses at UNITY assign her to her first proper case, to investigate H.A.R.M. related killings of UNITY agents. Features include a strong storyline, awesome dialogue and graphics and some of the most memorable and outrageous characters I've ever seen in any game, action or otherwise. The action unfolds over a wide variety of really diverse locations. Cate has some very unique gadgets and weapons at her disposal and you get to choose your inventory before each mission. The emphasis is on stealth, but you can happily blast your way through the game if you wish. At the end of each mission is a summary of how you performed in the mission, which is a cool incentive to be as sneaky and efficient as you can. Each mission has about 3 or more levels and they provide very unique and creative situations, the likes of which I've never seen in any previous shooter. You can eavesdrop on enemies and other characters, the conversations are absolutely hilarious! There are lots of civilian characters around most of the locations, which adds a lot of depth. You can also talk to most of them. In my opinion, No One Lives Forever is one of the all-time great games. © Action Girls 2005.
