    Vicious Cycle did an excellent job in recreating the comic in a video game, too bad there's only one safe house to spawn from.
  2. If you don't have any friends over 30, the developers have kindly provided 'bots. [July 2005, p.91]
  3. It's simplicity personified, and it will never be the classic that the original was, but Spy vs Spy still has that mischievous spirit to bring a childish smile to everyone's face.

    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.

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