James Bond 007: Nightfire (sometimes stylised NightFire) is a 2002 first-person shooter game published by Electronic Arts for the GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox and Microsoft Windows, with additional versions released for the Game Boy Advance in 2003, and Mac OS X in 2004. Eurocom developed the console versions, Gearbox Software developed the Windows version, and JV Games developed the Game Boy Advance version. The computer versions feature modifications to the storyline, different missions, and the removal of driving sections used in home console versions.
The game's story involves fictional British Secret Service agent James Bond, as he undertakes a mission to investigate the operations of a noted industrialist, uncovering a plot by them to conquer the world via a major defence satellite created by the United States. The game uses the likeness of James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan, although the character is voiced by Maxwell Caulfield.
The home console versions received positive reviews from critics with the gameplay, multiplayer, and character models being praised, while other versions received mixed reactions for not having the same amount of content as the console versions, in addition to being different.
