**EA GAMES EXTENDS TOP SELLING
JAMES BOND 007 IN… AGENT UNDER FIRE
WITH THE ARRIVAL OF NINTENDO GAMECUBE AND MICROSOFT XBOX VERSIONS**
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., March 19, 2002– The world of James Bond is brought alive on the next generation console systems with the release of James Bond 007 in…Agent Under Fire’ for the Nintendo GameCube’ and the Xbox ’ video game system from Microsoft in North America. In partnership with MGM Interactive for the highly coveted 007-license, Electronic Arts (Nasdaq: ERTS) is publishing the games under the EA GAMES’ brand. The games follow the top selling* PlayStation® 2 version released last fall. The Xbox version will be available on March 26.
Similar to the PlayStation 2 version, gamers of the Xbox and Nintendo GameCube systems will engage in a first-ever 007 experience on the respective platforms. The game delivers a unique and complete Bond adventure that immerses the player in the exciting world of secret agent 007 through 12 mission-based levels -- comprised of first-person action, covert stealth and fast driving -- spread out over 10 exotic worldwide locations.
The action levels will give players the option of blasting their way through each area using high tech weaponry, quietly relying on spy-craft tricks and state-of-the-art gadgets as well as nerve tingling stealth to accomplish mission objectives or a combination of all three.
The driving levels, developed by the team behind EA’s award-winning Need For Speed’ series, will feature an array of 007 exotic cars and other vehicles inspired by the Bond movies, including the BMW Z8’, Aston Martin DB5’, as well as a MGF-34 combat tank. True to the Bond universe, the vehicles are filled with Q-lab weapons and gadgets including rockets, guided missiles, machine guns, oil slicks, smoke screens and more.
Helping to enrich the game experience, both versions feature new enhancements including a more robust multiplayer mode – specifically, the addition of Artificial Intelligence (AI) bots – that is set in 12 unique arenas and five varying modes. In addition, players can select between three difficulty modes – Operative, 007 and 007 Agent – in between each level if they chose to do so.
Agent Under Fire for the Nintendo GameCube and Xbox consoles was produced by Electronic Arts in Redwood City, CA and Electronic Arts Canada in Vancouver, British Columbia. More information can be found on the official EA product web site www.007.ea.com. Both versions carry an ESRB rating of “T” (Teen) and MSRP of US$49.99.

There's one man you just can't clone.
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang himself glides onto the Nintendo GameCube in this all new mission-based adventure that deftly mixes high-speed driving, rail-shooting, stealth and first-person shooter (FPS) action.
Filled to the neatly brushed lapels with supermodelesque women, chortling villains, fast cars and secret submarine pens, James Bond 007: Agent under Fire may be even more Bondish than the movies themselves. Zipping from Hong Kong to Romania, the South China Sea and Switzerland, the not-exactly original story has an evil corporation bent on world domination via an army of clones.
EA sticks to formula too with the basic game design, allowing you to play on three difficulty levels. The objectives don't change as you move from Operative to Agent to 00 Agent; instead, you'll encounter more and smarter enemies. In a Nintendo GameCube exclusive, you get to pick the difficulty level each time you enter a new mission.
Agent under Fire awards points for things like accuracy, damage taken, finding golden 007 icons and executing extra-stealthy "Bond Moves," such as using your trusty Q-Decryptor to drop a crate on hapless enemies. Depending on your total, you can earn a bronze, silver or gold medal, which unlocks goodies like new weapons.
Most of the levels are good ol' FPS, but as with its earlier Bond game, The World Is Not Enough, EA mixes things up with rail-shooter and driving levels. There's also a stealth mission that requires you to tranquilize friendly British embassy guards with a dart gun.
For the most part the controls are well laid-out, with particularly clever use of the D-pad to cycle left-right through Q-gadgets and up-down through weapons. Unlike just about every racing game ever made, though, the controls in the driving missions use the A and B buttons to fire weapons instead of accelerating and braking. While the nonconfigureable setup is surprisingly easy to master on the Operative difficulty level, it's unduly frustrating to 00 Agents.
The authentic Monty Norman-written Bond theme (no pale MIDI imitation here, thank you) gets played for all it's worth throughout the game. Even though EA didn't secure the services of Bond movie actors, the voice talent is excellent. Whoever took over the role of M sounds just like Judi Dench. The actor who does R may not sound like John Cleese, but he strikes just the right note of peevishness and droll humor. Someone at EA must adore the maniacal cackle of the actor voicing arch-villian Nigel Bloch, although you may not after hearing it for the six-hundredth time.
The actors get a lot of opportunities to show their stuff. M and R provide exhaustive briefings before each mission. Bond apparently has some sort of thingamajig stuck in his ear, because M and R frequently call in to tell him what to do next. The missions are so straightforward, though, that most gamers can safely ignore London's rather obvious advice.
Graphically the game is solid, if not spectacular. Smoke effects are muddy and the ocean in one nighttime mission looks like slowly undulating asphalt. However the characters in the cinema scenes show lots of polygons. Bond's hand is nicely modeled and the Golden Gun glints realistically. Bond, who appears in the cinema scenes, has dashing good looks reminsicent of a young Martin Landau (the game's Bond is a composite of the many Bonds and is not modelled on any single actor), right down to the wry smile.
Of course the long-term value of a FPS lies in its multiplayer modes. Agent under Fire's are designed as mini-missions that take place across multiple levels. Combat Training, for example, can take place in a town, a manor or a castle, among other atmospheric locales. Choosing the Escort map requires you to protect a friendly VIP.
Bond and most of the game's enemies are available as multiplayer characters. For each mission you can pick the available weapons and allow use of Q's grappling claw and jet pack. The many additional options include low gravity, taking damage from falling, selectable power-ups and one-hit wonders. Exclusive to the Nintendo GameCube Agent under Fire are CPU-controlled bots, which can be configured for aggression and intelligence.
Progress is saved to a Memory Card (not included).
