  1. Something different and new, something that actually makes a spy game a true spy game.
  2. 73
    With a clunky camera and a slightly awkward weapon system the battles consist of throwing grenades and hoping to clear the area as fast as possible. In reality, the game goes much smoother when it deals with one enemy at a time or really just solving all of the puzzles.
  3. 72
    The disguises and a few little touches here and there are nice; however, the third-person stealth genre is getting kind of stale, and, without some serious formula changes, there isn’t really enough here to make this game stand out from the competition.
  4. The game deteriorates into a sloppy mess of nonsensical objectives, oh-so-awkward moments, and guards as brainy as microbes. [Oct 2004, p.110]

  1. When I played this on my friends PS2 I lolled at the stuff you could do. YOu could photograph a guy and dress like him and pretend to do the stuff he did. That was probably the best part about it. It was also hard as **** (at least as far as i can remember) and I got only into the second mission, mainly because i was too young to understand what they wanted from me. Since I didnt play so many PS2 games, this one is my second favorite. Expand
