|      This  version of the classic Spyhunter  game is a GBA port of the console version  released recently on Playstation 2. I was dubious at first when receiving the  title as most times GameBoy Advance conversions end in tears, however Spyhunter  impressed no end and it is evident that a great deal of attention to detail has  been given.  The  story will not set the world on fire with the only hints on the box being that  the evil Nostra Corporation is out to cause havoc, however once in game you will  release that there is a bit more to it than that.   Everything about this title rings class, from the very beginning of the game  with it's slick intro movie comprised of stills from the console versions of the  same game. I was impressed with the quality of the graphics in the intro and the  Peter Gunn theme that accompanied it.  The  really cool thing is your car, which is what the game is really all about. It is  called the G-6155 Interceptor and the unique thing about your vehicle is the  ability for it to morph into a number of craft including a jetski, boat or high  powered motorcycle.  As it  evident from the screenshots on this page, this is one very fine looking game.  The framerate kicks long very nicely and the developers have had the vision to  include a number of nice touches including reflection effects when on the water.  Before  you can get started, you will have to undertake a gruelling test level where you  have to complete objectives before moving onto the missions proper. This include  things such as dodging barrels, shooting targets and activating beacons.  Basically demonstrating an ability to control your vehicle.  In  addition to all these features, this game sounds absolutely brilliant and has  many great sound effects incorporated. Music is appropriate and adds to the  overall feel of the game.  Midway  have included a two player option for the game as well, available through the  use of the link cable. Your cars can then do battle to your hearts content.  As well  equipped as your car is, the distance behind the car is limited and you might  not get to see all the goodies that you can unleash though your opponent  certainly will.     |
