DESCRIPTION

A prequel to the swinging-'60s shooter No One Lives Forever 2, Contract J.A.C.K. has players working for the opposite side of the intelligence game. Cast in the role of John Jack, an assassin working for the criminal association known as H.A.R.M., players must prevent a rival Italian organization from moving in on H.A.R.M.'s territory. Contract J.A.C.K. includes ten levels of 1960s-style espionage and gun-toting action, with an assortment of weapons and gadgets available to complete missions. While the 3D graphic engine is the same as in previous titles in the series, gameplay has been reworked to offer more shootouts instead of stealth sequences and the storyline features a darker tone. Once the single-player levels are complete, experienced agents can participate in different multiplayer modes across 15 maps, including Doomsday, Deathmatch, and Team Deathmatch options. New maps and mods can also be created to keep the action from ending prematurely using the game's built-in editor and design tools. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
