    Spy vs. Spy was a goofy classic in its day, and it's been skillfully updated here.

    It holds up incredibly well as a multiplayer experience, and the inclusion of enhanced graphics, additional levels and online play makes the game feel like so much more than just a simple port of a classic. And as a bonus, nostalgia goggles are far from required here; a love of explosions and humor, on the other hand, most certainly are.

    The game's multiplayer is seamlessly integrated, and all that's missing is the ability to curse at the other player and attempt to slap their controller out of their hands.

    Nostalgia fiends are going to get an awful lot more out of Spy vs Spy than those who have never played the game previously: this is every bit the game that was played and loved all those years ago, and the option to play with retro graphics is a very nice addition. For everyone else, there's certainly an enjoyable game to be had here, but the controls will likely take some of the shine off the experience.

    A decent enough wander down memory lane, Spy vs Spy hasn't aged that well, but it's still fun in small doses.

    Somebody must still love Spy Vs Spy given the amount of effort that's been put into this remake, but the retro charm wears off extremely quickly.

    Purists and fans of the original will get their nostalgia's worth with Spy vs Spy but it was clearly made with only the most ardent of original fans in mind. Even they may wish to leave their memories in the past, as some of the rough edges that were forgiven 29 years ago are downright jagged today.

    This is one of the best Spy vs Spy games I have ever played and I still prefer 1999 version of it and you do a lot of quick thinking levelThis is one of the best Spy vs Spy games I have ever played and I still prefer 1999 version of it and you do a lot of quick thinking level tasks where you collect all the items you need before you complete the game and you can get traps against your enemy and there is nothing special except that it needs to improve more updates in the future versions of iOS.… Expand
