military and espionage

Contract J.A.C.K - Just Another Contract Killer is a game based on the No one lives forever serries. It takes place after the first nolf and before the second. It is the dark side of nolf. You play Jack a contract killer working for the Harm organisation helping them defeat another evil organisation Danger Danger. CJ is a very good action game though not half as long as nolf2. It has about 15 levels, Very well desinged and fun to get through. The moon base levels are best and the italian levels are very eye candy. Built on the Jupiter engine Direct3D hardware T&L and 32bit color are a must to play the game. I have a GeForce Fx and i did not face any problems with the game. The graphics are fantastic, Water effects are the best, the ripples and reflections are very well done. Charecter movements are also superb. If you think the ending is bad, watch it again and this time do not skip the credits. Contract Jack is very good but short fps.

Yes, even though this is the presequel to NOLF II, this doesn't quite seem like a NOLF game.
NOLF and NOLF II is a spy game. You're a spy, Cate Archer, that is saving the world from H.A.R.M.
Both games had around 10-15 chapters, with most chapters with 3-6 scenes. That's a lot of gameplay.
Plus, NOLF I and II also had cutscenes, some story and character development.
It also had humor, which personally I thought was dull and not funny in any way. The type of humor doesn't seem intelligent whatsoever.
"Please stop pushing me!" "I will stop pushing you if you stop clinging to things like a little girl."
Not funny to me.
To me anyway, in most cases, it insults my intelligence.
However the gameplay is pretty nice for NOLF and its sequel.
As for Contract Jack, it just doesn't seem the same.
First off, there are 7 chapters, half of what you'd get from NOLF and its sequel.
Second of all, some of these only have one scene, which makes it even shorter.
It also has little to no spy gameplay whatsoever. This is just flat out shoot people and get done with your mission.
Being it's also a flat out "shoot the bad guy" type, you cant fail any mission. There is no "You blew your cover" or anything like that.
Plus, very very few cut scenes, which are quite short.
Others had mentioned that the company was going to have Cate Archer in the game.
Well, it's quite the dissapointment. You don't see any cutscenes with her. You don't see her fighting or doing much of anything. You see a few posters of her, and while driving in the back of a truck, you see her standing along the road for only a second or two.
If you can play online, then this is worth buying.
If it's just SP, wait for the price to drop.
With no spy levels, no real cut scenes, not as many scenes, and not as many chapters, this will end a LOT faster than the NOLF series.

This game had the potential to be really great. For anyone who enjoyed the NOLF series but got tired of the stealth aspect, this SHOULD have been the game for you. Instead, what you got was a dull, lifeless, repetitive FPS with none of the humor of the rest of the NOLF series.

Let's go back to the repetitive aspect of this game. Let's go back to the repetitive aspect of this game. Let's go back to the repetitive aspect of this game. Let's go back to the repetitive aspect of this game. Let's go back to the repetitive aspect of this game.

See...that's annoying and dull isn't it? The same thing happens in a game where you know that each time you open a door or round a corner that 8 guys are going to come out, take cover, and shoot at you. The only thing that changes is the scenery (and sometimes not too much).

I agree with the other review that said to buy it used. It can still be fun if you want to just run-n-gun, but don't pay full price.
