MacPlay today announced that No One lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'S Way has gone gold and will be released on September 15, 2003. NOLF 2 sports 40 levels of secret agent fun. Set in the 1960's, the game places the player in the role of Cate Archer, an agent for the anti-terrorist organization UNITY. Her job description involves stopping the evil group H.A.R.M. as they try to unleash their nefarious plans on an unsuspecting world. This time the scheme involves a top-secret Soviet project that could launch World War III.

Here's more from the official press release:

Cate has access to over 30 weapons, gadgets, and traps during her missions, ranging from the McAlister .32 automatic handgun to banana peels that trip up pursuers to exploding robotic kitties that disable them permanently. As in the first game, stealth is key to successfully navigating certain levels; players who master the art of sneaking past security cameras, listening to guards for clues, and effectively using their gadgets will have a much easier time.

"The team at Monolith Productions created a sequel that's even more action-packed, funny, and exciting than the first one," says MacPlay president Mark Cottam. "And the bad guys are much tougher this time: they work together to thwart you. Don't be surprised if one of them keeps you occupied while another sneaks behind you."

In addition to enhanced AI, developer Monolith Productions introduced more life-like graphics to the game with its Jupiter engine. Players visit such exotic locales as Japan, Antarctica, an underwater H.A.R.M. base, and Akron, Ohio (remember, humor is part of the game), all rendered in rich detail. Movie-like cut scenes propel the story along, action-packed missions get players' hearts racing, and 60's-style music sets the light-hearted tone.

To promote the release of No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way, MacPlay is allowing customers to preorder the product under its customer appreciation program at the introductory price of $39.99.
