I bought this game because it seemed similar to the by now ancient, but still well love Spyhunter arcade game. And it is, too. Drive an armoured sports car bristling with guns and gadgets along a winding road trying to outmnouver and destroy other armed cars: brilliant idea ! But in this case, sadly not so brilliantly executed. First, you have to click your way through long and pointless dialogues with your boss, your rival driver and your mechanic (and yes, you have to repeat those dialogues every time you crash), then you get to deliver packet X to city Y. Each mission is divided into three zones, after which you encounter a boss enemy. And when you crash, you get (you guessed it) to to it all over again. If you kill the boss AND complete the same route three times, it is considered safe and need not (indeed cannot) be repeated again. To my amazement, the same thing happened, when I failed to kill a boss enemy within the alotted time: that area/mission was no longer accessible, and I had to proceed to the next one. Between missions, the car can be upgraded, but that does not make much difference against the bosses: They're IMHO very hard to beat (and you die a lot trying). Also, the available gadgets are pretty pointless: You only get to equip one of them (hope you picked the right one) and it takes forever to recharge after you use it. I gave up after failing to bet the third boss for about the hundredth time in a row. This game simply is too repetitive, boring and no fun at all. Sorry.
