007: Agent Under Fire is the first James Bond game to appear on the Xbox . The game casts the player as the legendary James Bond who must accomplish missions throughout different areas of the world. Bond is sent on a mission to rescue Zoe Nightshade, a CIA agent in the hands of Nigel Bloch. Nigel Bloch is the CEO of Identicon, a section of a highly successful industry company known as Malprave industries. Bond is also tasked with retrieving the set of DNA samples that are in Identicon's hands. So James Bond sets off on another adventure.
The game combines three game modes into one package: first-person-shooter, rail-shooter, and driving game. Most missions are played as a first-person-shooter, while some require a stealthy approach or the use of gadgets and weapons like the Q-Claw, Q-Decoder, and Walther handgun. Numerous new weapons have been added to the series, along with some fictional ones like the Photon cannon and 5-way grenade launcher. The player can choose from various missions and approaches, earning scores and ratings based on performance.
