...THIS GAME IS SO TERRIBLE IT REALLY SHOULD ONLY GET 1 STAR!!!!!!! The levels are impossible to a point where it isnt fun anymore, and all you do is drive in a straight line and shoot stuff. you dont have the feeling of a plot...

Classic was better

This game gets old quick. Despite the list of weapons listed on the box, you really only use 1 (the heatseeking missles). This game as a whole lacks any options for jazzing up gameplay, and it's pretty easy to beat! The only good thing was you can unlock the '83 classic game and play it! You might consider renting this game, but there's no need to spend money on it!

Ug...!...

This is a pointless game with very little story. Not very hard but with very VERY limited controls it make shooting the path in front of you even impossible. Not my idea of a good game, try somethin' else.

This game had potential, but could have been better.

Spyhunter is a pretty interesting game. The first level is a track that you go on to learn how to do different things, like shoot targets, dodge civilians, put GPS trackers on boats and much more. The game is pretty fun, and the graphics aren't bad. I like the fact that in this game you can drive on land or in the water and bust through walls and other fun things. The game takes you to many interesting levels such as Venice, which I thought was very well done with gondolas driving around the canals and little cafes in the streets. There are not many missions in the game so I can see how many people say it gets old, and the graphics aren't that amazing, so its not the greatest game. Hopefully if they make another one, it will be better. I reccomend to anyone that thinks this game is cool, to rent it and play it for awhile to see how you like it, and then decide whether or not to buy it.

Dont bother

Of the 15 or so games I own for the X-box this is the only one I think is a total loss. This game held my interest for all of about 5 minutes. And the "Multiplayer" games that you have to first unlock by beating tracks in single player mode are a complete joke. Dont waste your hard earned money on this one.

Amazing driving game, the best feel of any I have tried.

I am a 32 yr. old who enjoyed the original in 1983. Spy Hunter was my favorite arcade game of all time, so I loved this vastly improved XBOX version. The car is actually easy to drive, which is refreshing compared with other home games. Nice compromise between realism and simple fun. The qualifying course is imaginative and very entertaining. Unlike some other reviewers with limited attention spans, I enjoyed the fact that you cannot progress to other levels before completing the qualifying course. This quality is something that is missing from some modern games. The qualifying stage is alone worth the $... bucks for the game.

This game rocks!

This game totally rocks. The graphics are a little worse that the other xbox titles out there, but it is way more fun. You also get the original game which is classic old school.

This is for sure the best driving game on xbox even though it is a little short.

Like a James Bond car chase without James Bond

Although some people think it isn't, Spy Hunter for Xbox is a great game. As the title suggests, Spy Hunter is very much like a james bond car chase w/o james bond. Actually, it's so like a james bond car chase that the third level, venice, looks and feels just like the venice car chase in "Moonraker". Spy hunter is a combat driving game. You drive along the endless highway guns a blazin' killing enemies. If you inflict too much damage, you will automatically turn into a motorcycle, or, if in the water, a high-speed jet ski (a.k.a. speederboat). You could also go into the weapons van to get full ammo and health. Now, killing enemies is not the only thing you do in each level. You also have objectives, such as "defuse the bombs", "destroy the comms-towers", or "activate the satcoms". You get a wide array of weapons. You get:

9mm Machineguns
15mm machineguns
25mm machineguns
unguided rockets
guided rockets
oil slick
flame thrower
smoke screen
emp launcher

rail gun

These are the guns you get to dispatch enemies. Oh, and the machineguns sound SO COOL! Each machinegun 9mm, 15mm, and 25mm, has a totally different sound, and each one is better than the last. They're awsome!

(out of 5)

Graphics: 3

The graphics are pretty good, but not the best. They are clear, though, so you can make out enemies and objects clearly. The lighting and explosions when you fire machineguns are great.

Sound: 5

The sound, as mentioned above, is great. Each gun has it's specific sound, and the sound is ingenious, especially the machineguns.

Gameplay: 5

It's a racing game! Of course the gameplay is good! You drive around shooting enemies while doing objectives in a fexed period of time. The controls are good, too.

Multiplayer: 4

In multiplayer is pretty good. The only problem is that you have to complete all objectives in a level to unlock a level in multiplayer, and each level has it's own mode of play (chicken hunter, spy race, satcom collect), so you can't, for example, do spy race in venice because venice is and always will be a satcom collect level. However, that doesn't bring down the score because it's so fun to use your guns and gadgets on each other no matter what level.

Difficulty: 4

The reason the difficulty got a 4 out of 5 is because the game can be very hard at some times, but it's not impossible. You can still beat it.

Overall: 4 1/2

Although this game gets a 4 1/2, it's so fun that it deserves a 5. Besides, 4 1/2 rounds to 5 so it gets a 5 anyway.
Whoever likes racing or shotting stuff should buy this game. It's great.
ALSO: If you put in OGSPY as your codename, you'll get to play the original 1983 spyhunter!
