With an arsenal of both offensive and defensive weapons, you must elude NOSTRA spies, henchmen, and assassins at any cost. Hordes of air, ground, and water enemies pursue you as you try to save the world from the mind of a madman.Amazon.com Newly optimized for GameCube, SpyHunter is a mission-based combat racing game based on the arcade classic. It puts you behind the wheel of the G-6155 Interceptor, the ultimate counterintelligence prototype vehicle. It's turbocharged and ready to go with 845 horsepower for lightning-fast speed. That's not all--there's an arsenal of futuristic weaponry and morphing abilities that turn the car into a speedboat, jet ski, or motorcycle. Basically, it's everything you need to undertake 14 high-adrenaline missions on wheels. Should you choose to accept these daring reconnaissance missions, you'll travel to Panama, England, the Middle East, Venice, and other exotic locations around the world. Each location is rendered with a high degree of realism and provides recognizable landmarks and scenery. Throughout, you're the hunter as well as the hunted, pursued by enemies over land, on water, and in the air. Your mission is to take on NOSTRA, an out-of-control multinational corporation headed by an evil madman who's threatening the world. As SpyHunter, you must always be ready for heavily armed enemy vehicles that lurk around every corner and strike at the first site of the Interceptor. But you have a steady supply of weapons trucks that load you up with machine guns, missiles, lasers, and counterattack weapons such as oil slicks, smoke screens, and cluster mines. Each successful attack gets you one step closer to revealing who SpyHunter is and what he's ultimately after.

It's not only a genuinely top-quality game, but a superb update of a retro classic--an achievement as surprising as an Oscar-winning performance from Keanu Reeves. The original SpyHunter was a vertically scrolling shoot-'em-up from the early '80s, inspired by the Lotus Esprit sequence from The Spy Who Loved Me. This sequel updates all the elements of the original with superb 3-D graphics but manages to maintain its manic arcade spirit. In the basic gameplay, you drive your gadget-loaded spy car (which can also transform into a boat) through 14 courses while attempting to complete a variety of missions, such as blowing up prototype helicopters and defusing bombs. You only have to complete one mission to exit each course, but completing additional missions allows you access to subsequent levels.SpyHunter is unquestionably the best marriage of a driving game and shoot-'em-up ever--and considering how many games have attempted this, that's no small compliment. Shallow it might be, but it's also great fun. --David Jenkins -- Amazon.co.uk
