 Pretty Good July 25, 2008
This is a pretty good game but I bought it mainly to soft mod my xbox.
a must! May 14, 2008
This game is action! But it ain't that serious! It's an absolute comedy! Absolutely hilarious!

The idea for a spy game was great, and the game itself was extremely fun, only, it locked a lot. It's not the easiest game, but I liked it a lot.

You are in a darkened corner. You watch as a patrolman descends the stairs. You size him up, noticing his AK-47 is drawn. You quietly sneak up behind him, and when he stops walking, you grab him. You place your silenced pistol up to his forehead and drag him into a darkened corner. Another guard walks into the room. You quickly turn your pistol towards him, shoot, then turn back to your hostage. You quickly hit him in the back of the neck, knocking him out.
This is a great game. It was made in (I believe) 2001, and yet the graphics rival that of games such as Halo 2. The physics of the game are amazing, and it is very well programed. Your guns drop shells, which stay on the ground breifly, and bullets leave holes on walls. Guards will notice you if you are too loud, and if their comrades are sniped, they will sometimes open fire, even not knowing where you are. You can knock out, kill, or avoid enemies.
The graphics, like I said, are amazing. The fire looks very realistic, and the lighting is perfectly done. People look realistic, not quite so much as the scenery, but even in games like Halo 2, people are not the focus.
Missions change greatly, and environments change with them. The dialouge isn't great, but it is decent, and if you dont play too close attention to it, it is a nice backround noise.
All in all, if you have one game to buy, buy this one.

Typical Xbox game using checkpoints instead of creativity to make it challenging. Nothing more mind numbing than doing the same thing over and over again because you keep getting killed right before the next checkpoint. Granted, you can get hours and hours of playing time from it, but only about 25% is something that you haven't already done 10 times before. I highly recommend this game to people who are of the intellect that enjoy working on production lines where they do same thing repeatedly. If your brain actually requires some kind of stimulation, find a more creative game. In addition, some actions tend to be a bit uncooperative at times, such as when attempting to knock someone out but instead you just stand there waiting to get shot. Apparently if you aren't facing in just the perfect position when attempting smash his brains out, you stand there like a manakin hoping the guy two inches in front of you doesn't notice. Another option is to try and shoot him, but unless you get a head shot, expect to fire of gobs of rounds to take him out since you seem to be armed with what can only be a .22 short pistol.
