Bad move . . .

Aw. Monolith went above and beyond with the lush and humorous environments in No One Lives Forever 1 and 2. The only "problem" was that the action was a little on the . . . uh . . . little side. Another problem involved some complaints that insecure men were a little intimidated to be playing a woman that can sure kick some butt.

So Monolith sprang into action and developed this fifteen level so-called expansion pack. Starring is John Jack, just another contract killer, as he goes around Eastern Europe chasing a bizarre Italian named Il Pazzo (which means 'The Crazy') as he goes around blowing up the world and emasculating you.

This game is littered with generic guns and bodies. Very soon in the beginning you realize that there is no stealth. There is cold, hard action and a whole lot of shell casings. The snow in Czech is red with blood and the janitors of Italy will have a heck of time cleaning up the bodies.

The M rating is well deserved. Yet, leave this by. The prequel and sequel are quite better.

A poor addition to the canon

Warning: Spoilers
NOLF remains after 21 years one of the best and most fun FPS shooters for the PC with the emphasis on fun through it humour. Nolf was the same just slower with more complex levels and annoying loading screens but still good. Contact Jack is just a boring and lazy follow up that feels rushed. It lacks the fun finds of the first two in the form of notes and hilarious conversations you overhear as well as some challenging stealth levels instead it just non-stop shooting wave after wave of poor AI enemies. Disappointing.
