    And while the graphics are fun, the translation into 3D has been totally mishandled and lost the whole appeal of the gameplay.

    A formula that is very much out of date and bland by today’s standards.

    The main problem I have with coming out and labelling it a ‘kid’s game’ however, is not just the Spy vs Spy premise, but the sheer un-likeableness (if I can invent that word) of the two protagonists.

    If you’re thinking of buying this because it’s cheap, don’t bother, as even at its budget price it’s still not worth the money.

    The lack of humour and pedestrian platform chores are reason enough to stick with the duo's entertaining comic-book adventures.

    A shambling 3D monstrosity.

    In conclusion there is absolutely nothing to recommend about this Spy vs Spy.

    The "10" votes must be shills from the publisher, because I'd rather drag my hands across a cheese-grater than play this game again.

    This is one of the worst games ever made. If you have the opportunity to get it for free, don't take it! Think of the children!
