    This is one solidly constructed action game that doesn't take itself too seriously. It's called "camp" man. Check it out. [Mar 2002, p.98]

    The game's enemy AI really shines. These guys (and gals) are smart. [Mar 2002, p.24]

    A competent first-person shooter with a good sense of humor, the sort of middling fun you should enjoy between those truly taxing blockbuster titles.
  4. Adrenaline Vault
    70
    This title deserves strong consideration if you're willing to put style over substance and overlook a few flaws.
  5. Game Over Online
    70
    The degradation of graphics and gameplay diminishes how great this game truly is.
  6. Game Revolution
    67
    The solid firefights make for fun action sequences and the laugh-out-loud NPC dialogue really helps the progression of an otherwise uninspired storyline.
  7. XenGamers

    Questionable gameplay and graphics undermine the witty and unique style of this quirky ‘60s spy FPS.

    This game is one funny game. I rarely laugh at videogames, but I found myself laughing during this one. THe story is long and is fun to play. This game is one funny game. I rarely laugh at videogames, but I found myself laughing during this one. THe story is long and is fun to play. It's obviously not as good as the PC version, the graphics are bad and there is no multiplayer. However, this is one of the best FPS on PS2(which is pretty sad).… Expand

    Back in the day I could see me giving this a chance but nowadays this is a hard pass because of the non existent save system. Should you dieBack in the day I could see me giving this a chance but nowadays this is a hard pass because of the non existent save system. Should you die you start right back at the start of a mission and you can't speed up the game to speed run it to make up for lost time. It's a painful memorization game and it didn't take me long to become bored of the repetitive do-overs. Back in the day as a youngster this game would have occupied me differently but nowadays with the evolution of games and choices this one belongs in the past.… Expand
