 James Bond 007: Nightfire is a first-person shooter video game based on Ian Fleming's British secret agent James Bond, of the secret British intelligence agency, MI6. This marked Pierce Brosnan's fourth appearance as James Bond before the release of his fourth and final Bond film Die Another Day, however, in the video game, his likeness was only featured and not his voice. 007:The Nightfiregame was developed by Eurocom for the PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube, and Xbox video game consoles. Gearbox Software developed the game for Windows, which Aspyr later ported to the Mac.

| Plot: |
The game's prologue mission stars in Paris, France, with James Bond helping Dominique Paradis evade enemy cars while chasing a truck with a stolen nuclear weapon. After stopping the truck from blowing up the Eiffel Tower, Dominique and Bond celebrate the new year in Paris.
M sends Bond undercover to a party in industrialist Raphael Drake's castle in Austria. M believes that the party is a cover fro the exchange of a missile guidance chip between Drake and Alexander Mayhew, who manages the Japanese branch of Drake's industry, Phoenix International, and had stolen the chip from USA. Phoenix is believed to be a front for weapon smuggling. Bond, CIA agent Zoe Nightshade and Dominique, who is posing as Drake's mistress, meet in the castle library.
While Zoe distracts the guards, Bond makes his way to the exchange and steals the chip. Bond and Zoe then escape Drake's forces in an armored snowmobile before continuing in Bond's car. They rendezvous with Q, who takes them out of Austria.
Then Drake threatens to kill Mayhew should the operation fail. Therefore decides Mayhew to contact M16 and saying that he will provide with secret information if Bond comes to his rescue. While Bond is at Mayhew's Japanese estate, Drake's men attacks them. Bond fights his way through the estate and manages to obtain a file from Mayhew's safe. During the process Mayhew is killed by a ninja.
The file leads Bond to Mayhew's office at the Phoenix Building in Tokyo. Bond is able to infiltrate the building, but is then attacked by Drake's men, before Dominique provides a distraction which allows Bond to escape via parachute off the roof of the building.
Nightfire documents lead Bond to a nuclear plant. Bond retrieves evidence of Drake's activities and escapes, but is then double crossed and captured by Kiko, Mayhew's former bodyguard, and turned over to Drake. On the top of the Phoenix building, Drake plans to kill Bond and Dominique, who has been discovered as a mole. Dominique is kicked off the rooftop and killed by Kiko. Bond escapes to the ground level and saved by Alura McCall (a Australian Intelligence agent).
M sends Bond and Alura to Drake's private island, where they infiltrates the island and eliminates Drake's men. Bond makes his way to Drake's underground silo, fighting off Kiko before entering one of three space shuttles intending to capture the Space Defense Platform. Kiko dies in the blast pit when Bond's space shuttle launches. Bond reaches the U.S. Space Defense Platform, where Drake is.
Bond successfully sends all 8 missiles off course, saving millions of lives, and causes Drake's laser weapon to malfunction, leading to a huge explosion. At the end, Bond defeats Drake and goes back down to Earth via an escape pod, where Bond celebrates the victory with Alura.
