After thinking that I might enjoy every single PS2 era game, I was utterly disappointed by Nightfire, the seemingly loved entry from this bunch of games.

Nightfire was developed by a different dev team, and it shows. All the innovation from the previous title became this utterly boring imitation, that tried very hard to be a more serious version of Agent Under Fire.

To start with, Nightfire's story, while much more polished than Agent Under Fire, it still feels really cheap, as the bad guy is just easily the worst aspect of the game. Story aside, the action is very hit-or-miss, as the game has sections with forced stealth, that really breakes the momentum of the whole thing, combined with very floaty shooting that feels off.

Also, some of the levels are utterly boring, as your objectives does not have any depth, besides some generic spy stuff. Levels often revolve around gimmicks, and if that is not the case, the gameplay loop is just off. It feels very cheap, and I cannot put my finger on why they decided to shape the game in this way.
