This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
James Bond 007: Agent Under Fire for PlayStation 2
James Bond 007: Agent Under Fire for the PlayStation 2 is an action game in which you investigate a new conspiracy as secret agent 007. You work with CIA agent Zoe Nightshade and face Malprave Industries. During missions on foot, you see through Bond's eyes. Other assignments put you behind the wheel or have you shoot at pursuers from a vehicle.
You use firearms and spy equipment to achieve your objectives. The Q-Laser can open a lock, for example, while the Q-Claw pulls you towards certain attachment points. Looking at the surroundings as well as enemies pays off: a gadget may reveal a passage or another approach. Vehicle missions alternate between driving yourself and sections where someone else steers while you operate the weapons.
You play the campaign alone. A score for each mission encourages you to try an assignment again and make better use of Bond's abilities. You can also play against friends locally on a shared screen. The PlayStation 2 version supports up to four players with a Multitap. Agent Under Fire thus combines a sequence of spy missions with separate matches where weapon selection and knowledge of the arena matter.

The history of James Bond 007: Agent Under Fire
James Bond 007: Agent Under Fire was released for the PlayStation 2 in 2001. Electronic Arts published the game and assigned development work to teams in Redwood Shores and Vancouver. It became an original Bond adventure, combining familiar film elements with new allies and opponents. This allowed the makers to shape events around the different kinds of action they wanted players to experience.
The project had previously been connected to a planned PlayStation 2 adaptation of The World Is Not Enough. In an interview, producer Jon Horsley explained that EA chose collaboration between studios and a new story. The finished game therefore had room for its own missions. Bond also received an appearance that was not directly based on any of the film actors, fitting that independent storyline.
The team behind the vehicle sections had experience with Need for Speed. This explains the alternation between walking, shooting and driving within the same campaign. Editions for GameCube and Xbox followed in 2002 with changes, including computer-controlled opponents for multiplayer. That addition belongs to those later versions. On the PlayStation 2, Agent Under Fire marked the early beginning of a Bond line that subsequently continued with games including Nightfire.
