Contract J.A.C.K.

Good: Graphics & Music. Bad: Gameplay is repetitive, no game balance.

User Rating: 5.3 | Contract J.A.C.K. PC

Presentation
Comes in your standard DVD case with a detailed manual and a single DVD disc. The game menus are easy and effective.

Story & Dialogs
Prequel to NOLF2, the story in NOLF2 didn't need to be justifyed so this story is very uninteresting.

Puzzle Design
Puzzles aren't any different from NOLF2, they're just worse.

Graphics
The graphics are the same as NOLF2, using the same engine. The graphics are average for todays generation (back then) The best feature in the game is the graphics.

Sound
The music is good, nothing epic or amazing. The voice acting is practicly none existant. Rather replay NOLF2.

Gameplay
The AI is pretty weak, you're basicly showered in enemies that look like clones. Less charm, and more random killing.

Lasting Appeal
The game won't even keep you interested enough to play through 2 or 3 levels, this is NOLF 2 on a diet. No substance.

Last Word
Not worthy of using the name NOLF, this game is vey repetitive.

5.4/10 - Mediocre

  A mediocre effort that works as a moderately entertaining time killer, if nothing else.

  One has to wonder just who the audience for a game like Contract J.A.C.K. is. A prequel to the superb No One Lives Forever 2, Contract J.A.C.K. throws everything that made NOLF unique (the wacky gadgets, funny conversati... Read Full Review
