With so many high-budget reboots straying from their origins, it’s always refreshing when arcade classics are brought into the 21st century with their gameplay intact. Case in point: Spy Hunter. Same as always, players blast down the road while avoiding hazards and blowing away enemies. It’s gaming at its most raw and is a formula proven to excite no matter the decade or console. After a six year absence, the series is back and ready to again re-establish its relevancy.
Invisible Gamer counts down the best games of the year...1983.
PixlBit | "This weeks feature? Music to blow up your fellow racers by, because any competition is so much better when things can explode. Seriously Nascar, pay attention here. I'd be fine with the endless series of left turns if someone shot somebody with a rocket every once in a while."
VVV: "Spy Hunter is something of a missed opportunity. There’s some mindless fleeting fun to be had, but its repetitive gameplay, subpar presentation, erratic car handling and limited lifespan prevent it from being the return to form it should have been."
