YMMV / Agent Under Fire

• Ass Pull: After crashing his Aston Martin DB5 in Bucharest, Bond conveniently stumbles upon a Soviet-built tank in a warehouse that he uses to plow his way through Malprave's hitmen in the city streets.
• Awesome Music: The techno remix of the Bond theme which appears in various parts of the game. Gives it a very late 90s/early 00s feel.
• Bizarro Episode: The plot involves evil human clones, which is outlandish even by James Bond standards.
• Demonic Spiders: The snipers Bond encounters in the beginning of "Night of the Jackal", if Bond is anywhere in their sight range, the player is blinded with a red light, and gets shot, and it takes a hefty amount of damage.
• Funny Moments:
  • The Bond One-Liner Bond gives after killing Carla The Jackal (by pushing her into the huge fan on the ground during a boss battle.)
  M: Bond! Did you encounter the Jackal? What happened?
  Bond: She's...fallen for me...
  • The same level where Bond faces the Jackal, he arrives at the MI6 safehouse, Bond sees a woman showering, but it turns out to be R, with a hologram.
  • The Forbidden Depths mission, set in a secret cloning facility, has a scrolling LED sign that reads "World Domination Seminar This Friday."
• Gameplay Derailment: Just like in The World Is Not Enough, you can punch out the guards in the stealth missions without being penalized if you ever run out of tranquilizer darts.
• Good Bad Bugs:
  • It's possible to consistently bug out one of the guards in the second half of Cold Reception: all the player has to do is hide in the second vent from the elevator and stealth kill the guard across the pool, causing everyone else to go on alert. Eventually one of them will get close to the vent and begin running uncontrollably in a circle.
  • In Evil Summit, the first Q-remote signal in the first part of the mission can be obtained multiple times, resulting in multiple bond moves.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: One of the fictional world leaders you rescue is the Chancellor of Germany, who is female. Germany would later elect its first female Chancellor in 2005.
  • The Bond Girl of the week being named Zoe Nightshade.
• Narm Charm: The game has an earnest goofiness, somewhat akin to the original version of Resident Evil 4, which gives it a certain charm as later Bond games have steadily become more serious and modern, especially after the series' Darker and Edgier reboot with the Daniel Craig era.
• Nightmare Fuel: The Jackal's death, being pushed into a giant fan and shredded to pieces is not a pleasant way to go, especially her scream before and when she does get shredded.
• Porting Disaster: The Xbox port of the game already runs worse than the original PS2 version but it also suffers from a bug that slows the game down below 30fps in even light areas. In addition, the whole screen has a blur filter applied in the on-foot levels and it features a half-implemented Progressive Scan mode which only applies to the driving levels which luckily does not suffer from the issues above.
• Scrappy Mechanic: The manual shooting. While shooting without aiming is perfectly fine, pulling the left trigger doesn't aim down the sight or zoom in akin to modern shooters at the time. Rather, it's akin to the N64 GoldenEye's aiming system and the reticle is too sensitive. This results in precision shots being far more difficult than they should have been.
• So Okay, It's Average: Seems to be the general consensus. While it's certainly not a bad game, compared to other, better Bond games like GoldenEye (1997), The World Is Not Enough, or even its successor, it feels rather bland and uninspired.
• Squick: Bond stumbling upon a woman showering in the MI6 safehouse...Only to reveal R in her place when the steam clears. Thankfully, she was actually a hologram.
• That One Boss: The fights with Nigel Bloch.
  • In the first one, you're on a tram rail with no cover. There's a wave of guards then Bloch comes out on the platform of the central control tower. He has perfect accuracy with his weapon, even while recoiling from being shot. Then he opens up the doors below to reveal lava that slowly damages you in a subversion of Convection, Schmonvection. You have to take out another wave of Mooks, then use a video guided rocket launcher to take out three lights above. Go too slow, miss, or take too much damage in the fight and you gotta start all over from the beginning.
  • In the second one, it's a 1v1 fight against you and him. Simple right? Wrong. Bloch wields a Rocket Launcher with perfect accuracy. The player is given a small window to bolt it to cover.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: The twins Bebe and Bella are supposedly professional assassins as described by some sources, and easily fit the mold for some potentially memorable Bond Girls. They appear in all of one scene with Bond with no more than three lines between them and are never referenced to again.
