This review is from: Spy Hunter 2 (Video Game)

I wrote a review for Spy Hunter 1 as well....and it's soooo much better. I had high expectations for the sequel after how thrilled I was with the first, but "Hunter 2" let me down. With the first, you could take multiple hits before being defeated. With SH2, if you take 4 hits, you're done, and you have to start the level all over again. You could play the same level over and over and never progress. Graphics are better in the first, and the car is more stylish sporty-looking in the first too. And what happened to the playing of the "Peter Gunn" theme song??? You only hear that in the intro video!!! Don't mess with classic nostalgia!

After the 1st level they count on the impossibility of the levels to make the game seem like it is longer. Bad trick.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Spy Hunter 2 (Video Game)

This game stinks. Get spyhunter 1. The graphics are a little better than the first, but the only thing really better is the car. The only able to have two offensive weapons and one defensive is a bad concept. Having three levels that are boss based (train, plane, and the giant circle thing in the middle of the tundra) is a bad idea, you can't have the same level of expeirence then you can with several different enemies. There is supposedly supose to be more short cuts than the first for more freedom (look at "the making of spyhunter 2") but there is hardly any more than the first one. I strongly recommend renting the game before buying it.
