007: Nightfire, also released as James Bond 007: Nightfire, is a first-person shooter video game featuring the character of the British secret agent James Bond and a sequel to Agent Under Fire, published by Electronic Arts in 2002. In 2003, a Japanese version was published by Electronic Arts Square for the PlayStation 2 only. 007: NightFire was developed by Eurocom for the PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox video game consoles, while Gearbox Software developed the game for Windows using a very heavily modified GoldSrc engine. Aspyr later re-released the game for the Macintosh. The computer versions are substantially different from the console versions, featuring different missions and a modified story line. In 2003, Electronic Arts released NightFire for the Game Boy Advance, this time developed by JV Games.
The game marked Pierce Brosnan's fourth appearance as James Bond before the release of his fourth and final Bond film Die Another Day. His likeness was featured in the game, but not his voice, which was provided by Maxwell Caulfield.
Overall there are many weapons that the player can carry including grenades of various sorts and other types of explosives. In addition, there are numerous amounts of mounted weapons found throughout the game. As with previous James Bond games, the weapons that appear are based on actual weapons, but with the names changed. Some weapons appear in the console version but not the PC version, and vice versa.
