Get the first one. It's a spy/shooter one, sorta like Deus Ex (Only with a humorous theme instead of a serious theme).

The first had me rolling in laughter. The second was just damn fun (The 2nd also has puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurdy graphics).

To quote from IRC...

"No One Lives Forever is the only game I know of where the 'exciting chase scene' involves your character on the back of a scotsman on a tricycle, chasing a midget mime on a unicycle."

But one of the best, you must admit

Still, 2 wasn't quite as funny as 1 was... but I liked the better graphics and the utility launcher.

Yeah, 2 was *a lot* shorter than 1. Plus there was so few cutscnes compared to one, though that wasn't an incredibly bad thing considering 1 really had too many cutscenes. Was still a great game, but still wasn't as good as 1.

We need a NOLF3 though. It's just such a damn great series

I liked the voice acting in 1 better, I hope they make 3 and give it the voice actors from 1

Oh, I'd be surprised if there was no NOLF3. NOLF and NOLF2 both sold well, so there's no reason there wouldn't be.

The 'argument' between them at the end was great.

For a bit I thought you were gonna get to control Magnus and that would have rocked IMO.

Hell, the scene where she finds him is great.. "Ok... now I'm mad."

I couldn't get into it. I've never been big on stealth.

Coulda had a better ending though I think. But the gameplay was awesome, as were the graphics. The enemy dialouge was really just...priceless.

Fine, go get the cheat codes and play through it.

It's one of thoes games that it's a crime to NOT play through. Even if you have to cheat.

The biggest things to note, is that there's only one or two missions where you ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT BE SPOTTED.

On those, use cheat codes. For the rest... just go ahead and play normally

Stealth is optional, but fun.

The best parts of NOLF :

The skydiving level, the sunken ship level (Made me feel like james bond )

Damn near every conversation in the game (The game has far too many amusing conversations for its own good; I died quite a few times because I was laughing at the henchmen and not paying attention.

w00t!

Now if I could just find a reason to reinstall Anachronox and start all over again. I made it up to killing the queen in the hive and never got beyond it because the game freaked out in the cutscene afterwards.

I only got up to the first real stealth mission, I think you're up against Russians or something.

Well, no. The mission you got up to (The mission where you infiltrate the german base to extract the doctor) is a 'stealth' mission in that if you don't get detected, it's easier, but you can still get detected and complete the mission It's just if you're detected, they raise an alarm, which makes more enemies come and makes it harder for you.

As far as I remember, russians are in NOLF 2, not the original.

The one you need to worry about is 'A MAN OF INFLUENCE, SCENE 1'. That's the only pure-stealth mission.

I don't know of any way to prevent you from being detected in that mission (Even with cheats), but here's how to skip that one mission :

To Skip the current mission, press the "T" key and input "mpmaphole" followed by pressing enter.

I still think the best dialogue comes from the first mission (Lord Bafford's Manor) in Thief: The Dark Project where the two guards are talking about killer bears.

Nah, the best dialogue is the 'monkey' speech at the beginning of No One Lives Forever.

If you like NOLF, you really need the LithTech demo, which shows off the engine. It features a '60s disco with the bad guy (I forget his name--the big dude who pretends to be your partner) dancing to the theme music.

I still have it on my hard drive after two years.

Anachronox annoys me so much! Even after all this time my computer (easily exceeding the reqs) still won't run it for some reason
