Its presentation is top-notch, its levels are varied and interesting, its AI is convincing, and the whole game drips with love and attention to detail.
Game of the year material. It’s rare these days to play a game that excels in every area-but this one does so.

Smart and sexy, just like its heroine. It is a thoroughly enjoyable, tongue in cheek romp through the world of 1960s espionage.
Not only a worthy sequel but also advances the genre forward with a higher standard of AI, stealth and level design.
An excellent FPS, and easily one of the year’s best. It’s varied, funny, imaginative, challenging (on anything other than Easy mode, which you could complete blindfolded) and has a lot to offer. However, despite all this, it lacks its predecessor’s spark of genius and genuine originality. If we sound a little on the negative side, it’s only through mild disappointment that it’s merely a very good game rather than a repeat performance of a genuine classic.
If it sounds like NOLF2 is a lot like NOLF, and you're wondering why I'm complaining so bitterly, you have my sympathy. When I say they "gutted" NOLF2, I mean it, and I can back it up.
When I was young this game was amazing. Going back to play in 2024 the game has aged so poorly I'm genuinely shocked. The humor and voice acting are fine. Don't care about old graphics either. The combat is pretty bad by today's standards. How times have changed.

In the first game the missions were very different and funny. In addition I liked the 60s design. Now in the 2nd game such things are gone: the missions are all the same and there is no humour. The game is more focused on action and in my view it lacks variety.
The story is not so interesting any more, in the 1st game the dialogues were more realistic.
The graphics is great, even today. If you have problems with the mouse acceleration, install mouse drivers and lower dpi. It is a bug with the engine, that is great beside of that.

C'est très joli pour un jeu de 2002 (DX8, ça ne nous rajeunit pas...) sans doute parce que c'est assez lisse et aussi bien sûr parce que Monolith en a toujours connu un rayon, techniquement parlant, même si à l'époque, ça tournait plutôt comme une patate... mais avec une carte graphique relativement moderne, c''est une vraie promenade de santé à 60 im/s... en 4/3 seulement (1600x1200) et à condition de le lancer en mode compatibilité XP SP3 (sous Win7-64 en tout cas).
Hélas, c'est bien la seule qualité qu'on pourra trouver à ce jeu... à part la bonne VF certes mais qui sert alors de confiture à ce cochon de jeu très con et très bête qui reproduit la ringardise des pires nanars d'espionnage des années 60. C'est donc particulièrement débile et l'humour idiot participe activement à la débilité de tous les instants de ce FPS à l'ambiance ringarde.
En l'absence de carte, on erre à suivre la croix dans des niveaux étriqués qui soûlent rapidement ; l'infiltration (si l'on peut dire) est inexploitable et aussi stupide que le reste du jeu, lequel est en vérité un FPS raté... en plus d'être imbécile. On s'ennuie donc si vite qu'on passe au plan B : la désinstallation de ce jeu à la con et la reconversion des deux compact discs en freesbees (le clébard tente d'aller les chercher, les renifle, sent que c'est de la merde et en profite pour marquer son territoire dessus). Bon chien !
