Retro Review.. No One Lives Forever 2

Hello fellow Archers,
I really enjoyed playing this game and it has the best production values I have seen in a long time. If you haven't played this game you really need to get it and crank it out! In the beginning of the game you go through a couple of missions and then this title screen starts playing and it is presented to you like you are watching a 60's movie which is a real nice touch to the game. This game had a lot of comedy which is very different to what I usually play but what a refreshing feeling compared to all the death and despair I have played in my gaming life:) The voice acting was "groovy" and the soundtrack had me snagging some bellbottom pants and getting down! The only thing that I felt was negative was the A.I. in the game. It is just amazing how far Monolith have become since this game. In case you live under a rock they were responsible for the game F.E.A.R which showcases the best A.I. I have seen in a game. I really hope that they decide to make a new game with the sexy Cate Archer sometime in the future!


Pros
1. Voice acting, soundtrack, and graphics are top notch (for its time I can see how it won so many awards)
2. Characters are interesting and unique (wait until you see the mimes)
3. This game is full of comedy (wait until you see Anderson pull of the Mime's jacket) ROFL
4. The game is long and never gets boring.
5. The creativity that went into this game is incredible to say the least!

Cons
1. A.I. on some of the enemies is weak but others it is just plain ruthless. I wish it was balanced out better between them.

until next time..
