    I dont care what the critics said. I thought this game was fun although it could of been truer to Antonio Prohias' orginal comic.

    I wasn't sure what to expect going into this game, but I do like what I've played of it. You can tell they focused way more on the multiplayer than the single player, but you can still have a good time by yourself in this game. Would I recommend it over other 3rd person shooters? Not really, but this is a decent alternative.

    Bloody fab game. **** the critics. One of the best ps2 games I played, shocked to find it had such a bad critical reception. Brilliant multiplayer and gadgets to mess around with. Single player was decent too - though lacking a good story.

    Those who yearn for a return to yesteryear will find little solace in the game's so-called "classic" mode, which isn't an emulation of the 8-bit original, but simply the original game's layout structures and objectives within the new game's visual style.

    The controls aren't terrible, but the basic gameplay of story mode is so bland that it is difficult to stay interested in it for more than five minutes.

    Fans of the original Spy vs. Spy games won't find anything worth playing in this Xbox update. But even if you don't know what the series is about, you aren't really missing anything.
