Horrible, horrible frame rate

The game starts out great. The training missions are fast, smooth and fun. I have to assume that all the high reviews are from people who've just started playing it.

The problem is, once you start the actual missions, the frame rate seems to drop noticably, presumably because of all the extra objects the game has to draw. Not only that, but the frame rate becomes uneven, which makes targeting anything while on the move rather annoying. The pixelated graphics don't help, and the faux-3D is rather obvious.

When you compare it to (say) "Burnout 2", it's clear that very little effort was spent to get the game running acceptably on the GameCube. I've seen smoother graphics on PS2 games (I own both systems). Definitely one to steer clear of.

Bad graphics and poor game play

When I went to pick up my copy of Agent Under Fire the salesperson talked me into buying Spy Hunter. When I got home and tried it I was very disappointed. Every level is pretty much the same thing so the game is very repetitve and get boring really quickly. In addition to that problem the graphics are horrible. The backgrounds are and trees are completely two dimensional and the enemy soldiers look like cardboard cut outs. They are two dimensional and don't more at all. All in all this game is horrible don't waste your time or money. The driving levels in Agent under fire are better than this entire game.

2 stars is all it desirves

Unfortunately, I was one of those idiots who bought Gamecube over PS2. I bought SSB:M, Rogue Leader, THPS3, Spy Hunter, and Cel Damage. Spy Hunter is the worst game of them all! The levels are too dark. The graphics on the otehr hand arent that bad. The weapons are too limited. The movies are horrible, especially the Saliva one! I bought this game knowing nothing about it. I regret I spent the [money] or so on this "game". The Multiplayer mode isn't fun at all. They need a deathmatch or something! I don't find killing a bunch of chickens fun (though I do find it quite amusing)! Trust me, this game is a total waste of money, no exceptions.

Kinda like agent under fire driving

This game is kindof like the levels you play in agent under fire where you drive a car. Except theres more weapons and theres 12 levels in Spy Hunter. Theres lots of missions in every level. This was a cool game when I rented it but then it got kindof boring. Rent this game if you like it buy it. If you dont like it dont by it. Rent it till you beat it.

worst game

I've only gotten to the 3rd mission(Venice, Italy) and am pretty impressed. The graphics are sweet, for those of you who care about graphics...Hitting maching gun toting motocyclests, COME ON!!!!!

All around this is a nice game, and i'm sure I will start liking it even more as I proccead in the game.

PS: The storyline is SOOOOOOOOOOO good I can't believe it.

If you liked the original spy hunter, you'll probably not like this one. as in dont go and buy this game just because the first one was fun. IT [IS TERRIBLE]! Plain out. the graphics are very poor and i know the gamecube can handle more than that. and all the levels are the SAME MISSION! it's always do this do that repeat! i wouldn't even recoment renting this game, go get James Bond (much better game!) But do what you want, i cant force you to not make the same mistake i did.

Spy Hunter is an awsome game. The only drawbacks are that there are no 4 player modes, and the game takes a bit to much time to load.

Horrible and Agonizing Gameplay

There is no question this is the worst racing game I have ever played. Extremely difficult and frustrating to play, its just NOT fun. I returned the five day rental after 2 hours of torment. Great racing games: F-Zero (Super Nes), F-Zero X (N64), Crusin USA (N64), Rumble Racing (PS2) (cheesy graphics but fun gameplay), Tokyo Extreme Racer (Dreamcast) (Fantastic graphics and gameplay). :)
