Unfortunately the execution just wasn't quite there.

If you are in the mood for some solid third-person action, great hand-to-hand combat, and some kickass driving sequences then this game is certainly worth a second look. Oh and it doesn’t hurt if you are a big fan of Mr. Johnson.

The addition of a third-person controllable character to this otherwise entirely vehicle-based series adds an entirely new dimension to the fading series. Playing as The Rock is pretty dang fun, and even if some of the shooting controls are wonky, the melee and wrestling attacks remain consistenly hilarious and enjoyable.

Its control system is weak, the gameplay mechanics are basic and repetitive and The Rock is woefully underused.

The end result is a ramshackle affair that will please neither hardcore Spy Hunters nor Joe "GTA."

Worth Playing
With more time and polish, Nowhere to Run could have shown that Spy Hunter can move beyond the car, but for now, The Interceptor is still the more interesting main character.

Please don't do any more games like this, The Rock. You deserve better. [Nov. 2006, p.130]

Spy Hunter once was a great arcade hit and does not deserve this junk pile treatment. From the start, know this: this game is utterly awful. Spy Hunter once was a great arcade hit and does not deserve this junk pile treatment. From the start, know this: this game is utterly awful. Aside from appearing just months before PS3 will make its appearance, this game shows just how bad something can go, when nobody pays attention. The driving sections are abysmal, the Interceptor's control is practically non-existent and weaponry is useless. On foot, the game is just pointless, with rubbish fixed animations for fighting and enemy AI the size of a salt almond. Graphics are worse than the first generation of PS2 games. Even the Rock character fails to add any much-required appeal to the game. Save your money.… Expand
