is working with the Soviets on a complex and multitiered world domination program involving, among other things, a strategically insignificant island, a five-star communist hotel, and a clan of fierce female ninjas. However, without the depth and complexity of Cate's struggles for acceptance and the lengthy character-developing cinematics we found in NOLF, the story and characters fall flat. It is disappointing that the developers of NOLF2 chose to replace the voice talent of nearly every major and more character in the and more game, including Cate Archer, though I cannot fault them for this; actors and more are a fickle bunch and there's a possibility that the voice talent from the original was unable or unwilling to return. But some of the leading roles have been recharacterized as well as recast, especially Cate herself. In this sequel, Cate has been tarted up to such a degree that she no longer resembles the highly intelligent, confident, empowered, and, yes, sexy woman that she was in NOLF; she has fallen victim to Lara Croft Syndrome.
