Fox Interactive, Imagineer, MacPlay, Monolith Productions, Sierra Entertainment, The Omni Group
A year after the first No One Lives Forever, tensions are rising between United States and Soviet Union over the tiny, but strategic Isle of Khios. Jones, now the sole Commander of U.N.I.T.Y. (after Smithy was discovered to be a H.A.R.M. spy in the first No One Lives Forever), is taking a vacation and leaves Temporary Director Lawrie in charge. The sequel to the award-winning No One Lives Forever returns you to a world of espionage, intrigue, and dry humor. In her second adventure, British UNITY operative Cate Archer must investigate a super-secret Soviet project that, if successful, could bring about the third world war.

By AthanasiosWhich one did it better? The Operative: No One Lives Forever, or No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way? Well, it's hard to tell, really. The game mechanics are more polished, and in terms of pacing it doesn't overstay its welcome like the original. On the other hand, it lacks the variety of its progenitor, it's much stronger, groovy style and "Spy Film from the '60s" vibe, plus its better writing. Both are flawed gems, both are cult classics, but maybe the first installment is a bit more… "cult."
