It’s kind of like a James Bond game with cars. There are voice acted cutscenes that are bombastic, exaggerating situations and you’re the badass to save the day. The gameplay is collecting points through drifting, destroying other cars and collecting objects. You have a set of health and even timers sometimes, so you can die. The are 3 chapters with a couple of missions (5?). Each mission has 5 objectives to collect intel you’ll need to unlock the final mission of each chapter. Yep, you’re forced to reply missions. I only really noticed it on the last chapter though. There are also 3 other modes. Side missions, time attack and an unknown one that requires you to complete all objectives. I didn’t give any of them a try to tell you if they’re worth experiencing.

The game is fine. It’s well made. Clearly there’s a lot of effort put into it. I just didn’t really care about all of it for some unknown reason. I was just trying to finish it and move on.

A just-different-enough-to-avoid-legal-action remake of Spy Hunter.

The thing about Spy Hunter though is it’s a classic NES game based on a quarter-eating arcade game, so it’s hard as balls. Agent Intercept has a surprisingly slick, cinematic flow to it, but the driving amounts to vaguely swiping left and right while holding down the boost button. Sometimes you dramatically turn into a boat?

Nice effort, but too easy.

(Tempted to give +1 star just for HQ’s tight mohawk, but nah)
