I can get each of them for 15 quid new.

I could get both but I'd like to know which is the better choice, if any.

If you've played any of them, you're views would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance because I know you WILL help me. :-D

I thought Shadowman 1 was out of this world (geddit?) but since I heard that Acclaim had completely revamped it I'm not sure. But for £15 you can't go worng...

Shadowman 2 looks great but Im not sure how it plays - The reviews I read gave it somewhere around the late 70's early 80's so it cant be bad.
Spy Hunter is great - There is quite a bit to do to keep you interested and its quite challenging aswell - I would recommend it.

I'd go for shadowman 2, I'm thinking about buying it myself since I was a big fan of the great but flawed origanal.

Unfortunaly I do not have the game so I cannot comment. From what I remember the reviews were not that bad for it.

Hmmmm....that's tempting.

I'm not sure about Shadowman though. I loved the original on the N64, but the sequel looks so cartoony! And that meas sthe atmosphere of the first game has probably gone right out the window.

Yeh, even when you complete the main part of the mission, there are other parts that you need to do to allow you enough points to start later missions. From Memory I think there are about 15 or so main missions.

I only have Spy Hunter and it is a pretty linear game with not woo much variety in missions. If you like driving and shooting then it is not too bad for £15.
