A Lengthy 007 Nightfire Retrospective - Reviewing Every James Bond Game [Episode 2]

It's time to return to the well that is, James Bond Games. It's been a while since 007 Racing, but after acquiring EVERY official Bond game, A Review to a Kill returns with 007 Nightfire.
I played this back in the early noughties, and I had a great time replaying this classic. This is an in-depth retrospective of 007 Nightfire, and in the video, I go into my personal memories, context magazine reviews from the time of release, break down every level, and of course, I Wrank it.

**********007 Nightfire Synopsis**********
After the access information, for a orbiting global defense platform, is stolen from the Americans, It's up to James Bond to investigate, and stop any terrorist threat. Due to intel from undercover double agents, MI6 have reason to believe, Rafael Drake, noted green industrialist is the prime suspect, and with his powerful connections, time is of the essence.
