Warnings

SafeDisc retail DRM does not work on Windows Vista and later (see Availability for affected versions).
The Mac OS X version of this game does not work on Mac OS X Lion (version 10.7) or later due to the removal of support for PowerPC apps.

James Bond 007: Nightfire is a singleplayer and multiplayer first-person action, FPS, shooter and stealth game in the James Bond 007 series.

The PC version lacks certain features or content originally present in the console version, due to a difference in engine and developer. The GameSpy online server browser stopped working on June 30, 2014, due to GameSpy services being shut down. However, updating to the latest unofficial patch will keep the server browser working after this date.[1]
