i dont know what the 'ell the other guy's problem was but, even though this game is a tad slow on installation (never frigered it out) its no reason to bash the game. I ran this thing on a Radeon 9600xt and its great, the graphics are...the best word i can use is nostalgic, which i believe was the point, makes it liek you are in an old fashoned experience. the audio is crisp, music is very well done, and "Theme from Peter Gunn" is awsome,i switch it over to the music player and play it over and over sometimes. controlls are very simplistic, which aids the game dramatically since you can focus on the game rather than putting your fingers in the right place. The story is a typical spy story (stop the bad guy, save the world) but the cutscenes are, although computer generated, are sweet. wht am i leaving out...oh, difficulty, its not that hard per se, but you must complete X ammount of objectives to advance to the next mission, so you have to play missions over again to get the objetives you didnt get the first time, which can get a tad annoying, but its still fun. Of course this game has all the elements of the original spy hunter and adds more.

I got this game for free with my new video card. I thought, hey, pretty cool, I remember the arcade version.

I put the disc in, a dashboard screen came up. I chose install. Nothing happened. A few minutes later some process kicked in and the game limped through installation. After installing I tried to start it, but it just hanged on the opening screen.

I uninstalled it, made sure my drivers and system (directX version, etc.) were current and reinstalled. Same thing. This is on a P4 2.8 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 10,000 RPM S-ATA Raptor drive, 128 MB Diamond Stealth (GeForce FX 5200) video card, Win XP SP1a. Certainly not the baddest, but most would agree a capable machine for running games in These Modern Times (7/2004).

Ironically, I gave it a shot on the old junker I'm replacing and it came up fine. So maybe this is the reverse of the classic gamer's warning: instead of "be prepared to upgrade," it's "make sure your hardware is outdated enough if you want to run this game".
