"Spy Hunter"

Just out of curiosity, has anyone bought this game?

I was going to, as I was a great fan of the original. But when I plyed the demo on OPS2M, I lost interest. I wasn't *bad* as such, it just... didn't appeal.

I know the DVD it comes on is supposed to be crammed with loads of 'extras' apart from the game, in true movie-DVD style.

Anyway, it's been out a couple of weeks or so now, and hardly anyone has mentioned it, so I just thought I'd ask...

it doesn't look all thhat good, but i got it and was pleasantly surprised. It won me a GAD as well.

I love it. It is really addictive. It isn't to everyone's liking, though....

I don't know why, but I still prefer the original.

There you go then - cheers Matty.

I claimed Spy Hunter for GAD win a few weeks back - It is rather impressive - Remains faithfull to the original!!
The only draw back is the missions become a bit repetitive after only a few levels!!
Fans of the original should feel right at home though!!

yeah i agree with you there, GTA3 is a great game but they gave it 98% ? , it deserved around 95%

i didn't like the demo AT ALL....

I wasn't too impressed with the game, but PLAY magazine gave it 94%, which is more than GT3...that can't be right

Possibly... but there's nowhere in my immediate area that does game rentals; not without a 25-minute bus journey, anyway. :-)

I know what you mean - was thinking about getting it this weekend but the demo (although good) didn't make it jump out at me.

I've got a feeling this could be a rental job for the weekend Wookiee.
