Spy Hunter is a driving game where you play a spy racing down the road in his ultra-fast sports car. You're trying to elude the villains like the Tire-Slasher and the Bulletproof Bully. Your car is equipped with machine guns and can be fitted with neat spy-gadgets like oil slicks and smokescreens. Later in the game you can also hop into a speed boat and cruise along a river.
Although the game has an interesting theme, the initial excitement wares off pretty fast. The roads are repetitive, there's only a small variety of enemies, and without an ending, your only goal becomes surpassing your previous high score.
