The Operative™: NO ONE LIVES FOREVER™ Game of the Year Edition [PC Game]
Developed by: Monolith Productions - Sierra On-Line (2001) - First-Person Shooter - Rated: Mature
No One Lives Forever is a first-person spy adventure that takes place in a world that we'd all recognize, even if it never really
existed. Settings and storylines are reminiscent of early James Bond films, with a healthy dose of Get Smart and Austin Powers
thrown in for good measure. In designing the game world for No One Lives Forever, great effort was devoted to finding the
proper balance of 1960s post-modern kitsch and full-on, gut wrenching action.
Think of the easy charm and deadly influence of the beautiful Modesty Blaise. Consider the quick wit and quiet precision of the
Avenger's Emma Peel. Confident, understated, highly dangerous, and loaded with sex appeal, these heroines were surely an
inspiration for Cate Archer, "the Operative" in No One Lives Forever.
As Cate Archer the player will need to make her way through diverse 3D environments, populated by wary guards and unique
enemy bosses. As a top operative of the super-secret international anti-terrorist group UNITY, Cate has lots of weapons and
gadgets at her disposal. She can gain access to at least 30 different weapons, many of which have four or five different settings
or modes of fire. Cate's spy gadgets include a cigarette lighter that doubles as a welding torch, several shades of exploding
lipstick, and even a robotic poodle.
Hopefully this will be enough, as Cate will need all the help she can get as she investigates the latest catastrophe to hit UNITY. It
seems that nearly half of the active UNITY operatives have been eliminated in just one short week and rival underground
organization H.A.R.M. is bound to be involved somehow. This could mean a face-to-face confrontation with infamous H.A.R.M.
operatives like Armstrong, the boxing Scotsman, or Inga, the neurotic tone-deaf opera diva. This could mean trouble for Cate
Archer.
No One Lives Forever is the first game written to run on the LithTech 2.5 3D engine. The game features realistic AI, with enemies
that listen for footsteps, notice footprints, and call for back up in a heartbeat. Even "normal" citizens on the street behave
rationally and react specifically to certain situations. The in-game music changes according to the action and cinematic scenes
blend smoothly from gameplay, in an attempt to provide the player with an engrossing, unified experience.
