Product Description

Spy Hunter The world needs a hero, and you're it. The classic arcade or home platform game gets some awesome updates in this version of the fan-favorite SPY HUNTER. You'll drive the ultra-fast G-6155 Interceptor through multiple environments, trying to collect as many smoke screens, oil slicks, flame throwers, and other cool weapons as you can. It all takes place in amazing 3D, and each of your missions has multiple objectives to accomplish. The best thing about the game? It still uses Henry Mancini's Peter Gunn theme!

3.0 out of 5 stars The original was more fun., June 24, 2003

So they jazzed up Spyhunter for 2003. Whoop-de-doo! Car drives well, but the courses are difficult to frustration. There's only one good thing about this game. If you enter OGSPY at the name screen, it'll bring up the original Spyhunter game from the 80s! It's the only reason for owning this game.

4.0 out of 5 stars I got this for the original, March 31, 2002

To access the original Spy Hunter, type "OGSPY" for your player name in the player entry screen. The original is the biggest reason that I got this, and it is still a lot of fun, once I got used to the controls.

The original game always freezes up on my X-Box after playing it for 15-30 minutes, and it does not save high scores.

The new game is a very mediocre mix between a driving game and a shooter. You have to re-try the levels over and over until you get them perfect, including each of the sub-missions, which can get to be repetitive and monotonous. I wish they would re-make Autoduel.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as fun as arcade original, March 16, 2002

This game is short and has glitchy graphics that slow down and freeze up all the time. The game itself is pretty good but is way to short. I beat it in 1 afternoon. The xbox version comes with the original also. I played that longer than the actual game. This game is good for renting if you want a night of gaming but way to short to buy.
