User Rating: 6 | Contract J.A.C.K. PC
Boy, what a downer. I guess they guys at Monolith thought that since they had a great game with great reviews but with less than stellar sales, they had to try for a new image, and a new main character. Well, for anyone who hasn't played No One Lives Forever 1 or 2, I strongly urge you to go out and buy them. Fun, Funny and interesting. One of the few shooters that I played all the way thru. Return to Castle Wolfenstein and HalfLife are the other 2, and NOLF 1&2 definitely belong in that elite category. The graphics are the best of any currently released engine, other than maybe UT2003, the gameplay is awewsome, the story is interesting, just a couple of masterpeice games, can't say enough. But maybe because they didnt sell well enough, they decided to change the character to a man and make the tone more serious. Unfortunately they also left out the humor, the excellent level design, and the compelling story, and the variety of levels (action, stealth, puzzle, item collection, etc). Contract JACK is just ordinary, but still pretty tro look at . Get it if you have no sense of humor or like arcasde-style games (you know, like in DOOM or Serious Sam where the enemies just run right at you). Get it. Evryone else, go out and buy NOLF2. You wont be sorry!
