[edit] Overview

In Contract J.A.C.K. (Just Another Contract Killer), instead of controlling Cate Archer, the protagonist of the first two games, the gamer took the role of Jack, a contract killer in service of H.A.R.M. The game was much shorter than the first two, and lacked the gadgets and intelligence items that were present in the NOLF games. Additionally, it lacked the 1960s look-and-feel in places (such as featuring a Desert Eagle handgun, which did not exist in the 60s), and completely lacked the stealth of its predecessors.

While the game did not revolve around Cate Archer, there was a single moment in which Cate Archer appears. This moment was considered a disappointment because of the hype surrounding a memorable appearance yet the game did not deliver. This game also was not very popular with the public due to it being very short spanning only 9 missions.
