What is The Operative: No One Lives Forever?

Ported by MacPlay.

Who wants to live forever?

Your mission: Assume the role of Cate Archer, a beautiful but deadly operative working for UNITY, a super-secret organization fighting to free the world from the clutches of H.A.R.M. From tense subterfuge to in-your-face combat, No One Lives Forever ups the ante for plot-driving, 1960's-influenced spy action with killer weapons, vivid international locations, and deadly arch-villains. Equipped with an arsenal of powerful weapons and ingenious gadgets, you must unravel a mystery that will lead you halfway around the world in a desperate search for answers. Try not to blow your cover, or your cool.

• Fifteen missions across sixty levels. Unique situations worth of any super spy: skydive from a plummeting airliner, fight off killer sharks, and explore twisted jungles.
• Ride motorcycles and snowmobiles through vast, realistic landscapes and environments, rich with texture and detail.
• Choose your weapons carefully: An AK-47 assault rifle or a 9mm silenced automatic or an M79 grenade launcher or a silent but but deadly crossbow with sniper scope.
• Use stealth to take down the enemy from a distance or charge in with guns blazing.
• Smart enemies move and react with striking realism. Watch them seek cover, respond to suspicious sounds, or launch coordinated attacks.
• Multiplayer for up to sixteen players: Take your chances in an all-or-nothing Good vs. Evil multiplayer game or go head-to-head in deathmatch mode. Choose from over thirty different characters.

Game seems to run fine at 1024x768 with all graphical effects turned up but cutscene scenes end well before they are actually finished, like as if a skip button was pressed. Noticed that you can set 1280x1024 resolution in the launcher but this actually breaks the engine and many graphical effects, including texturing, fail to work.
