It’s not a name that readily lends itself to a sequel, is it? To paraphrase early Steve Coogan creation, Paul Calf: 'It’s a paradox, you daft twat.' Probably more important is whether the game is worthy of revisiting, as the original wasn’t without its critics, not least this magazine.

- The Operative: No One Lives Forever (NOLF) is a first-person shooter video game with stealth gameplay elements, developed by Monolith Productions and published by Fox Interactive. No One Lives Forever utilizes the LithTech game engine (v2.5), with many custom additions and modifications to support the game's design, such as vehicles.
In 2000, Fox Interactive, Inc. Publishes The Operative: No One Lives Forever on Windows. This action game is now abandonware and is set in a motorcycle, off-road / monster truck, sci-fi / futuristic, shooter, spy / espionage, stealth, comedy, africa, cold war and europe. Mac version of No One Lives Forever. Originally published by MacPlay Will need to run with a emulation solution on modern Macs such as SheepShaver Special addition to disclaimer: UnityHQ does not promote software piracy.

Essentially a ’60s spy spoof, No One Lives Forever was a curious blend of camp humour and sickening violence in which you assumed the role of The Operative, otherwise known as leggy brunette, Cate Archer.
Predictably, having an attractive female lead character offered numerous opportunities for out of work actresses to earn a few quid by dressing up as the character at promotional events. Nothing changes, and on the day we saw NOLF2 our attention was drawn by the sight of a stunning model who appeared to have been poured into a white leather catsuit. Even more distracting was the fact that that she was frolicking with a man-sized bandicoot. It’s a good job I’m off the acid.
Anyway, such was the diversion that we almost missed Monolith producer Kevin Stevens’ opening line: 'It’s a similar type of story. It builds on top of what people already know, but if you haven’t played the first game then it’s OK. The bad guys are H.A.R.M. again, and H.A.R.M. is up to no good - it’s got some world-destroying plan.'
That plan involves no less than a top secret Soviet project with the potential to bring about a Third World War. And if that wasn’t weight enough to place upon Archer's slender shoulders, H.A.R.M. has also ordered the world’s deadliest assassins to take her out, and we don’t mean for a fish supper.
Hide And Sneak
So how is a girl to stay out of H.A.R.M.'s way? Well, she could always hide. NOLF2 will offer more opportunities for stealth than the original, including the ability to lean around corners. This should make it easier to avoid enemies, who can also be safely observed from hiding places. Even once you’re detected, pursuers can be outwitted and thrown off the trail.
Skulking isn’t compulsory though, and it should still be possible to adopt a gunblazing approach. As Stevens says: 'It depends how good you are, but if you’re a really good FPS guy you could play 'guns out’. But generally, I combine a little bit of stealth, a little bit of guns out. But I think once you’ve played through a couple of levels you could replay those levels stealthily.'
In keeping with the spoof spy theme, the first game’s weaponry was augmented by some frankly improbable gadgetry. Body Remover Powder, anyone? Expect more of the same in the sequel, with Archer’s armoury including a crossbow and some Japanese throwing stars, aided and abetted by the HR-4 Ladies’ Compact Code Breaker and a pocket-sized lipstick spy camera in tulip -Cate’s favourite shade, apparently.
Such poppycock has drawn obvious comparisons with the films of James Bond and Austin Powers, but according to the developer there is a greater cinematic influence: 'Have you seen the movie, In Like Flint? James Coburn. It’s kinda what we’re aiming at.'
Made in 1967 - the same time period as the NOLF universe - it’s loosely an American take on Bond, and well worth seeking out (if you’re really bored and don’t have a job).

There would be no fun in being a spy if you couldn’t rack up a few air miles, and NOLF2 will include such diverse locales as a feudal Japanese estate, a Soviet military installation in the Siberian tundra, the exotic streets of India, and the trailer parks of Buttpoke. Ohio. All of which should give plenty of scope to reprise the crass racial stereotyping of the first game.
Each place will feature an indigenous enemy, such as devious Ninjas, Tulwarwielding Indian assassins, and machinegun toting Soviet soldiers. Having played through part of the Siberia level, we can confirm the existence of this last bunch, although they’re not toting anything now as they have all been shot squarely in the temple or stomach, either picked off at range or mown down in a hail of bullets.Using the LithTech engine, it didn't seem drastically different from the first game, but apparently the major area of improvement is the Al. Accordingly, enemies will each have unique goals, such as guarding a safe or unloading a truck.

However, objects in the area can trigger their own internal urges. For instance, a guard could be tempted to nip off for a cup of coffee, or even take a quick nap in a comfy chair. The interactive environment can also be utilised by the player, but not always to their advantage. Leaving a door open or clumsily kicking over a bottle would cause enemies to investigate, for example, whereas unscrewing light bulbs could create a handy hiding place.

Whatever happens, you can be sure that Cate will be looking her best, although of course being a first-person game you won’t actually be able to see her, except in cut-scenes. Seeking inspiration, I mindlessly ask an American PR woman who would win in a hypothetical fight with Lara Croft. 'Cate Archer!' she squawks. 'Cate Archer would win. She’s got more brains.' You heard it here first.
