Originally released in 2001 for the PlayStation 2, “James Bond 007: Agent Under Fire” marked a new chapter for the Bond gaming franchise.

It was the first 007 game designed exclusively for sixth-generation consoles, blending action, espionage, and cutting-edge gadgetry into a fast-paced original story. While it wasn’t based on any specific film, it captured the spirit of Bond with style and ambition.

A New Bond, A New Threat

“Agent Under Fire” tells an original James Bond story not tied to any specific movie. You play as 007, tasked with uncovering a conspiracy involving a biotech corporation, human cloning, and global espionage.

The plot thickens with mysterious characters like CIA agent Zoe Nightshade, and the femme fatale villain Dr. Natalya Dovchenko, whose double-crosses add intrigue throughout the story.

The game balances classic Bond tropes—secret labs, high-speed chases, tuxedos, and explosions—with a unique narrative that feels like an authentic entry in the Bond universe.

James Bond 007: Agent Under Fire isn’t just a licensed title—it’s a legit Bond experience with all the thrills, gadgets, and global drama fans expect.

While it may not reach the legendary status of GoldenEye 007, it’s a fun, replayable FPS that holds up surprisingly well for fans of early 2000s console shooters.
